About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
Chef Nasrin can’t remember life before cooking. For her, cooking is an expression of love. In her family’s kitchen in Tehran, she faithfully learned secret recipes and delicate skills from her grandmother and mother. In her restaurant those dishes and memories are transformed into a flavorful experience that transcend borders and time. Nasrin's kitchen menu is a celebration of traditional dishes from all over Iran.

The menu consists of classic stews including her signature Fesenjoon - an elegant combination of pomegranate molasses and crushed walnuts, as well as other beloved favorites like Ghormeh sabzi. Kabobs, vegetarian centric appetizers and savory side dishes also adorn the colorful menu.

Chef Nasrin and her authentic cooking has been featured in several renowned publications: including the New York Times, The New Yorker Magazine, Vogue Magazine, Eater. She has also created memorable catering events for Google, Twitter, HBO & NYC Public Library.

                    Great new experience with the food. Wine selection was narrow. Description of the food was difficult to undertake.

                    Nasrin’s Kitchen is my go to for bad days and pre Carnegie Hall. the food is delicious and authentic. it’s got a real familyvibe. it’s probably best to go there when you need a tasty treat of meal, because it’s wrong to bring leftovers to Carnegie Hall but it’s equally wrong to leave even a few grains of Nasrin’s rice on the plate.

                    Love this place- had to eat and run quickly to get to a show nearby and our waiter was so helpful. The food was also delicious! We will be back.
