Persepolis Menu

Persepolis, a venerable Persian-Mediterranean gem on New York’s Upper East Side, offers a menu that captivates with its rich flavors and authentic heritage. The highlight, Duo Kubideh—juicy, spiced ground meat kebabs—pairs beautifully with the fragrant basmati rice options like Polo Zereshk, dotted with tart barberries. The menu balances heartiness with freshness: Shirazi Salad’s cucumber and tomato medley refreshes the palate, while the Lentil Soup comforts with earthy warmth. Appetizers like Hummus and Sambusa reveal layers of Mediterranean influence, and the Roasted Pineapple with Rose Ice Cream and Chocolate Syrup offers a sublime, unexpected sweetness to close the meal. Adding to the ritual are specialty drinks—the floral Red Sea Martini and fine selections of Chardonnays and Cognacs. Each dish tells a story of tradition and care, leaving a lasting impression of richness and balance. Persepolis doesn’t just serve food; it delivers an immersive Persian dining experience that feels both genuine and unforgettable.
