Sun Mar 26 11:30:03 -0800 2000 0 David 1 1415978 I know of at least one place: Persepolis on 2nd Ave. and 74th St. They have the greatest sour cherry rice pilaf. Mon Mar 27 09:18:50 -0800 2000 1415976 0 Jeremy D. 2 1415983 There's a Persian restaurant around the corner from my office. I've not been there yet, but a co-worker has been and has good things to say. It's called Kolbeh and is on 39th between 5th and 6th Ave. on the uptown side of the street. BTW, anyone else try the full on Vindigo palm pilot program? It was in beta for a while, but they seem to have launched the full version today. Includes NY Times reviews now.

It looks fantastic to me--it appears to list 2465 restaurants (not to mention movies, clubs, stores and walking directions to everywhere) Thu Mar 30 18:07:40 -0800 2000 1415983 0 Elliot 4 1416032 I heard Patoug on East 30th (5th) is good, but havn't tried it yet. Anyone know if the place is good? Wed Apr 19 15:33:43 -0700 2000 1416001 0 Jayask 3 1416033 I INSTALLED VINDIGO THE OTHER WEEK.I LOVE IT. I ONLY WISH THEY WOULD HAVE ETHNIC FOOD BROKEN DOWN INTO MORE SECTIONS. Wed Apr 19 18:26:07 -0700 2000 1415983 0 IVAN STOLER 1 1415984 Do a search for Persian on the site and you'll come up with a bunch of previous listings. But my personal favorite (and rare genuine Persian restaurant) is Nader on 29th St, off Lexington. It's almost always empty sadly. Mon Mar 27 14:41:44 -0800 2000 1415976 0 adrienne 2 1415998 Nader is DELICIOUS. have also used them to cater for large parties, and they do an excellent job. there's a dried fruit and nuts place sort of around the corner from Nader (run by the sister of Nader's owner) with wonderful sour cherry and mint syrups to make sharbat, almonds, all kinds of spices, beautiful gilded tea cups...everything you could ever want of persian cuisine and preparation.
