"For casual and affordable Persian food in Brooklyn, Brooklyn Noosh is your best option. Their $22 kebabs hit the spot, and every plate comes with a mound of fragrant saffron rice to make it a meal. If you want something heartier, go for the lamb-based dishes instead of the fish or falafel, which can be dry. We like the lamb shank, or the ghormeh sabzi for its subtle sour notes. Brooklyn Noosh is located right in that sweet spot between Bed-Stuy, Crown Heights, and Prospect Heights, so it’s ideal for last-minute meetups with friends from the area. Plus, they have beer and a quiet back patio that’s fully removed from the chaos of Atlantic Avenue.

We wish it came with more rice, though. There’s only a few bites’ worth. Ghormeh Sabzi We love the sour flavors of Persian food, and this lamb dish is one of the best examples, with the help of dried Persian lime and lots of parsley." - Neha Talreja
