About:
Taftoon reimagines Persian street food through a modern New York lens, bringing the flavors of traditional family cooking into a lively, contemporary setting. The menu includes saffron chicken kabobs with crispy tahdig rice, beef-and-potato patties with saffron fries, Persian herb frittatas and Tahchin, a saffron rice cake topped with chicken and barberries, along with dips like Kashke Bademjoon made with fried eggplant. More playful signatures include Persian Macaroni with meat sauce and crispy rice and Taftoon Pizza topped with halal beef franks, mortadella, peppers, mushrooms and onions. Handcrafted cocktails, dim lighting and a soundtrack mixing Middle Eastern influences with jungle house give the restaurant a nightlife edge while keeping Persian hospitality at its heart.
