About Persepolis
For 35 years, Persepolis Restaurant has been more than a place to eat, it’s been a home for Persian culture, memory, and hospitality. Founded by Kazem Bayati, former goalkeeper of Persepolis FC before the revolution, our restaurant was built on discipline, pride, and a deep love for community. When The New York Times mentioned Persepolis in August 1993 and in the New Yorker on 2008, it recognized what our guests already knew: this was a place where tradition mattered. As one of the oldest Persian restaurants in the United States, our mission has always been simple and sincere; to honor authentic Persian cuisine, to welcome every guest like family, and to preserve a cultural legacy through food. On our 35th anniversary, we recommit to that promise: cooking with integrity, serving with heart, and keeping the spirit of Persepolis alive for generations to come.
