The Art of Taftoon
CRAFTED BY FIRE. PERFECTED BY HAND.

Welcome to Taftoon.
Taftoon is a modern Persian restaurant in Manhattan, named after the wood-fired flatbread that begins every Persian meal. Our kitchen draws from family recipes, our bar from saffron and rose, and our dining room from the warmth of a Tehran courtyard.
Come hungry. Stay a while. You are a guest, and a guest is a gift.
