Taftoon

A short walk down Third Avenue, you’ll spot Taftoon Persian Restaurant NYC tucked between the flow of midtown commuters and the hum of the street. Persian dining weaves tradition with modern pace here, a contrast that shows up once you step inside—curbside pickup, takeout trays, or plush seats for a long sit.

Adding seats for lunch and dinner, it clears room for anyone craving a sit-down meal or a quick takeout order. Catering boxes show up during peak weeks, ready to appear on office calendars or family menus alike.

Over on 388 3rd Ave New York, NY 10016, grab a table or call ahead to place an order before the line climbs—646-747-5550 puts you straight to the kitchen.

A few blocks in either direction and the after-work crowd thins out toward Murray Hill’s quieter avenues, leaving room for the next round of customers.
