- 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.

As a Persian myself I need to go stick knives into my ears after hearing those

anahita1 the way they said the words killed me

@@G59.aryarad I WOULD SAY JUST LIKE ANY OTHER PERSON
WHO DOESN'T APPRECIATE FOREIGNERS APPRECIATING THEIRS CULTURE AND CUSINIE ❤️😋

I love Persian food,great culture.
If you are Iranian then you will realize how peaceable, lovely and deserves respect this man is without need even his speaking.
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
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.
"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.
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.

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'm Greek American. I love Persian food. Once a week I get my koubideh fix.
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 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 👌👌👌
I visited Iran before, and their foods are amazing. Cant stop eating.
all my favourite Iranian dishes im in love wish i lived in nyc
Thank you for showing westerners our cooking!❤
Only in NY. This guy is a gift. You can see it in his eyes.
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.
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.
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 ..👍
This man is the true Prince of Persia .
Persian food is soooo good 🤤🤤 I'm craving some so bad rn
This wonderful Persian man is so inspiring!💎💎💎👍
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?
I am very lucky that there is a store in walking distance of me that makes authentic aush-e-reshteh
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 .
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.
alas, why did I watch this at 2 in the morning? now I'm hungry 😂
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’m never watching this channel ever again cause every time I watch it it’s making me hungry
I LOVE fasenjoon and zereshk polo! I would love to eat here one day!
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.
That soup sounds incredible!
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.
Persian Cuisine is *yummy* 😍🍲❤
He's voice is so calming.
I miss Iran’s food!!! It’s sooo delicious 🤤
Watching this in 2020. Still love this series .
Finally Persian food done right!
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.
Appreciate it! This a impressive video.
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.
The food looks beautiful
He needs to get his own restaurant ASAP
Naw. It'll be to much to handle. That lil space is perfect for him
Damn that's a few blocks away from me and I never ate their. Heading their now.
There*
@@MH-go9wn 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I love Persian food!
Very excited for this.
This is thr greatest video I've ever seen.
I love ashe reshte, infact gonna call my mom and ask her to make it. I wish I could buy it ready where I live.
Well, did she make it for you?
@@DoctorSkillz Hahaha she promised to call on tuesday😂 All the best!
i wanna try it.. looks so good
*Heard good things about this spot - looks awesome!*
Even my mom can’t make Ashe Reshteh like this! I would go to New York, just to have it!
Can’t wait to go in July and what a hard working guy!!!!
I want to try the magic soup. Haha the food looks so good.
I believe he was forced out of this spot by the pizza guy who owns the shop. Jealousy is a terrible thing.
So persian food is good!
looks so delicious
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.
This is a lovely video 🥰
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
@@spektrograf thank you for the update
