• $69 For A 3 Course Dinner For Two With Cocktails, Wines, Beers (a $125 value)

Brooklyn has no shortage of restaurants. But the ones that really get under your skin? They're the little neighborhood hideaways that feel like someone's impossibly cool living room. Bijan's, a Persian-American restaurant and cocktail bar tucked along Hoyt Street in Boerum Hill, has been doing exactly that since 2011. No velvet ropes, no unnecessary fuss. Just seriously good food, strong drinks, and the kind of atmosphere that turns first-timers into regulars.

Behind the magic is owner Jahan Salarimatin, a New York hospitality and nightlife veteran whose résumé stretches well beyond Brooklyn. He's also one of the names behind the Lower East Side's Rumpus Room, the stylish reinvention of the legendary Sapphire Lounge, featured in The New York Times and Quintessentially. Think copper bars, designer interiors, late-night energy, and a knack for creating places people actually want to be. At Bijan's, he's traded the downtown dance floor for something altogether more intimate, with every bit as much personality.

The kitchen has its own point of view, too. With chef Peter Garst among the culinary talent associated with Bijan's, the menu takes Persian comfort food and gives it a decidedly Brooklyn bistro twist. Think saffron-scented rice, bright sumac, juicy Persian kababs, and slow-cooked stews alongside steak frites and other American favorites. It's bold, generous, wonderfully unfussy cooking that gives you plenty to talk about between bites.

And then there's the room. Stained glass, lush greenery, vintage furnishings, a glittering chandelier, and delicate lights winding through overhead branches set a scene that's part bohemian hideaway, part romantic neighborhood dinner party. The real wood-burning fireplace is the star, casting its golden glow across the dining room while cocktails flow and conversations stretch long past the last bite.

Order another glass of red. Split the homemade carrot cake. Stay for one more story. In a city obsessed with whatever just opened, there's something pretty special about a Brooklyn original that still knows how to make a night feel like a discovery...

All selections are made from the restaurant's full dinner menu.

Overall, a nice, cozy place to hang out with friends/family and get a good meal."

• "Great spot, highlights were the pear goat cheese flat bread, the lamb burger and the wings (wings had this crazy blue cheese dip). Big shoutout to Bijan the bartender, all the cocktails we had like the margarita and mojito were also delicious and all his recs were amazing."
