Sofreh
Sofreh is one of the few Persian restaurants in Brooklyn, and it’s also one of our favorite places to have opened in the neighborhood within the last couple years. So, if you live nearby, consider yourself a lucky duck. Come here for smoky roasted eggplant with flesh that falls apart in the middle, a hulking lamb shank in a dill and dried lime broth, and saffron rice that goes well with everything else you’re eating. The minimalist space feels chic and comfortable simultaneously (an ideal balance in all facets of life), with tall, white brick walls and exposed ceiling beams. We typically reserve Sofreh for special date nights or a catch-up meal with a friend visiting from out of town, but you could happily have a solo dinner at the bar, too.
