- Hidden away in a corner of a pizza shop, Taste of Persia NYC serves traditional Persian dishes to its customers from a counter at the front window.
Owner Saeed Pourkay started the restaurant with the help of his neighbors after becoming homeless. Pourkay's meaty dishes require seven to eight hours of simmering and cooking. INSIDER producer Medha Imam visits the restaurant to try out the traditional cuisine, gets a behind-the-scenes look into the restaurant.

What other legendary places should we visit next? Let us know in the comments below!
As a Persian myself I need to go stick knives into my ears after hearing those
@@f8ed556 why?
anahita1 the way they said the words killed me
@@f8ed556 me too
If you are Iranian then you will realize how peaceable, lovely and deserves respect this man is without need even his speaking.
let's not ignore that before this he became homeless because he did not want to work for someone else, but MADE this happen after. *claps*
Lets not forget he is a Legal Immigrant. So for that i support him.
Great....one side persian..one italian.....working together.....a great role model for how the world should work! Thx for sharing and best wishes!
Not 100% sure and not to take away from your comment , but pretty sure Sammie is a Persian guy who owns and Pizza joint not an actual Italian
@@nicholassimonds2658 yeah I think he has it as a Pizza shop to attract customers...if he names it Persian cuisine in NYC he might not have a lot a lot of customers...well not nowadays but before
2 best foods on the planet in one place. Heaven for me!!
Anche io, che coincidenza
Guys the owner of this restaurant (Pizza Paradise new york) which has sublet his part of store has kicked this guy out and has stolen his recipes without his approval and has made a copycat of Taste of Persia. PLEASE DON'T GO THERE ANYMORE and if you can go and write a review for pizza paradise new york. This guy has devoted more than 8 years of his life to this place, and the crooked owner has done this to him.
Do you know where he is now?
Oh gosh how unfortunate this is just terrible! Didn't he mention it was his friend who sublet the premises to him?
Wait, where did u get this info from?
@@lauramaskell1653 apparently does catering now a days. Not sure if that's because of covid or as a long term business plan.

LOL IM PERSIAN AND WHEN I SEE PEOPLE ENJOYING MY CULTURE I GET REALLY HAPPY :)
lmao just like every other persian person!!!
@@G59.aryarad I WOULD SAY JUST LIKE ANY OTHER PERSON
WHO DOESN'T APPRECIATE FOREIGNERS APPRECIATING THEIRS CULTURE AND CUSINIE ❤️😋
Caps
I love Persian food,great culture.
"It's like magic soup." Couldn't have said it better myself. Best soup on the planet! It's a crime that it's not more well known around the world.
What a sweet man, his food looks amazing
As a Persian-Italian-Portugese-Turkish person, I can confirm that all the food is GREAT
how do you have so many nationalities
TheFatGeneral My dad is Persian-Turkish and my mom is Portuguese-Italian
What?
You do know it takes only 2 people to make you
@@shafikyusope6456 but it takes two people to make each one of his parents.
I have some Persian friends and so I've tried some of this food when they've cooked great big feasts for the family & friends. It's so unique and full of different flavours 👌👌👌
Never tried Persian food in my life! Looks really good 🤤🤤🤤
@@scottmedina7365 ew gross wtf. Dont say that in the youtube comments
@@ANTHURIUMm yea What a perv
Same
Scott Medina cannibalism
@@scottmedina7365 How about you don't speak unless you're spoken to? You dense cabbage...
I visited Iran before, and their foods are amazing. Cant stop eating.
Great report. Just wanted to mention that Ash Reshteh’s original recipe does not have Cardamom, cinnamon, or ginger. The spices are salt, Pepper, and turmeric. It is possible that this is his version of the recipe.
all my favourite Iranian dishes im in love wish i lived in nyc
I'm Greek American. I love Persian food. Once a week I get my koubideh fix.
2:01 Can we agree that Saeed was the cutest 7-year-old in the history of 7-year-olds?
I dont think so
Long live Persia hope this beautiful country with such a rich history becomes free of its incompetent rulers soon, so the whole world finally sees its true colours.
@@ralibabab yes but not everyone who's from there refers to it like that. I have friends from there who call it Persia and I have friends who call it Iran. Potato, potarto
Its Iran. Allahu Akbar Khamenei Rabar
That Rad Guy absolutely the country is called iran but I was rather talking about how it’s screwed now while it was one of the greatest countries before the revolution. Hope it’s going to see better days soon.
That Rad Guy onion onyon
Taha Karimi Taha Karimi so Iran before the revolution was great because their dictator shah was an anerican puppet, but now when their dictator is not a western puppet Its not great anymore. Stop lying the iranian regime before the revolution was just as incompetent as the current one, but atleast the current one is actually working for Iran and not a puppet of the West.
Thank you for showing westerners our cooking!❤
Why do they hide the tastiest food?
Hammer Addiction4u maybe trump makes some sanctions for it😂
That is why is it “Persian” 😉
Aidamoon how is that racist?
People who have never tried Persian food are definitely missing out! Takes a long time to prepare but definitely worth the wait.
Nope...not all ppl love persian food
I will have to try it!
i’d rather eat dirt than persian food
@@HOTPLATEGAMING haha
@@HOTPLATEGAMING i mean you are a frog you have no taste.
Yes this spot is worth checking out
Saw Medah immediately recognized her and had to tell her how I like watching these food vids. Keep up the good work ..👍
Only in NY. This guy is a gift. You can see it in his eyes.
This man is the true Prince of Persia .
Persian food is soooo good 🤤🤤 I'm craving some so bad rn
He seen like a very nice person, I live in NYC i'm going to try this and hopefully it's good.
MmmHmm come back and give us a honest review 😂
Lets us know how it is
So did you try it?
@@saptakmukherjee3051 .
alas, why did I watch this at 2 in the morning? now I'm hungry 😂
This wonderful Persian man is so inspiring!💎💎💎👍
Mashala Saeed. Bravo!! I will definitely be visiting and looking forward to trying your amazing restaurant the next time I’m visit NY. I hope you will have my favorite dish, Ghormeh Sabzi.🤤❤️
I love persien food,please share more Iranian recipes
He’s freakin adorable!!! Great story. 💙💙💙
I CAN'T STAND HOW THIS GIRL IS PRONOUNCING ALL THE WORDS
Looks so good!!! And so new york 😂
I am very lucky that there is a store in walking distance of me that makes authentic aush-e-reshteh
4:38 you are so busy in acting you forgot to mix thr soup and surprisingly got a flavor burst, lol.
lmao
Did you ever taste the soup doe? peopel dont mix it in or the crunchy parts get all soft and ewwish
maybe it was her first time? idk I never tried it so I would not know either
@@nainmayoudavich7541 are you Persian? I am and my family mixes the soup. You are supposed to or you wont get a balanced bite. Everything has to incorporate :p
@@nainmayoudavich7541 indeed, here in Iran some mix and some don't. I don't as the crunchy part would become soft, so if you not mixing you should know to how to get portions of each part in your spoon to have a balanced taste of all flavours.
I LOVE fasenjoon and zereshk polo! I would love to eat here one day!
That work ethic of being homeless between careers only b/c he didn't want to work for someone else is such a typical Iranian trait. No money today, but in 10 years you own your own home and have two businesses.
Persian/Iranian food is awesome! We don't have it where I live now though.
Her pronunciation is Killing me
She's Pakistani
Not pronouncing it good enough for your white taste?
How do you know the person is white?
@@basharcali nah I think she's Bangla
@@bvedant whatever she is, her pronunciation is NOT the way Persians pronounce these names.
If you plan on trying it get the ghormeh sabzi with polo and ask if they have tahtick. If it's a cold day get ash reshteh with kashk on it.
I’m never watching this channel ever again cause every time I watch it it’s making me hungry
Appreciate it! This a impressive video.
That soup sounds incredible!
God bless this man and his shop
The music at the end of the video is Greek but it doesn't matter. Greeks after all have adopted many things from the middle east and especially the cuisine.
Saeed Pourkay was evicted by the new owner of the pizza shop. Not only that, the new owner started to sell Persian food with a very similar sounding name and similar looking graphics to try and dupe Saed's old customers.
Lovely video great to see this man so passionate about cooking,his culture and his background.I am sure he cooks with lots of love and dedication.
Persian Cuisine is *yummy* 😍🍲❤
Never seen that kind of food before but I would be first in line to try out the whole menu!!!💟💎💟💎!👍
I used live across the street from a high and person restaurant in Orange County California. I ate there about once a week. The food was amazing. Unfortunately in the state that I moved to there is not one single Persian restaurant.
Damn that's a few blocks away from me and I never ate their. Heading their now.
There*
@@MH-go9wn 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I miss Iran’s food!!! It’s sooo delicious 🤤
I want to try the magic soup. Haha the food looks so good.
Watching this in 2020. Still love this series .
Finally Persian food done right!

Thanks🙏🏻from California 💐
Even my mom can’t make Ashe Reshteh like this! I would go to New York, just to have it!
looks so delicious
I believe he was forced out of this spot by the pizza guy who owns the shop. Jealousy is a terrible thing.
He needs to get his own restaurant ASAP
Naw. It'll be to much to handle. That lil space is perfect for him
IT LOOKS AMAZINGGGGGG I AM SO HUNGRY!!!!!
Woow, it looks great😍
Persian food is delicious!!!!! This looks really good.
In Kuwait You can get Ash literally everywhere.. and it's really delicious
*Heard good things about this spot - looks awesome!*
Just because of the food market NYC is a must!
Can’t wait to go in July and what a hard working guy!!!!
This is thr greatest video I've ever seen.
This is mouth watering even never tried to eat Persian food 🤤🤤🍲👄😭 okay someone wants to eat persian food?! Leggo 😋🍜🍜🍜🍲🍛
I used to get their soups at the Union Square markets every year they were out there except this year, can't wait for things to get back to normal.
Great video! For future reference, "ash" is pronounced "aash" (rhymes with josh) not "ash"
We as Persians have Many different types of soup , that I'm Sure You will be Amazed by tasting them
I love Persian food!
Oh you definitely are an amazing Persian cook💥🎉🙏💓
Omg I read the title as "Best Prison Food" haha
5:12
He is so sweet!!
good video.
Ash reshteh is good but try ghormeh sabzi , you won't regret it
Shayan ghormeh sabzi is to die for 🤤
2 best foods on the planet, hands down.
Guys this poor man lost his business and saw him crying on TV about it , he is looking for a lawyer to do something about it , pretty sad , the landlord apparently kicked him out and doing and copying exactly what he did , even the same name of the restaurant .....
What happened after that do you know ?
Looks like he’s doing catering/take out now since COVID restrictions kicked in. The New Yorker wrote an article about it. Community rose to support him and push back against the new landlords that tried to copy his business. www.newyorker.com/magazine/2020/05/04/the-beloved-taste-of-persia-finds-a-second-life
