Ravagh Persian Grill closes 1st Avenue location



After spending part of the summer with outdoor dining, Ravagh Persian Grill has permanently closed on First Avenue between Seventh Street and St. Mark's Place.

Management confirmed the closure via an Instagram message. Their locations in Midtown and on the Upper East Side remain open.

Ravagh Persian Grill is back in action on 1st Avenue



Ravagh Persian Grill has returned after a months-long interior renovation here at 125 First Ave. between Seventh Street and St. Mark's Place.

This is one of five outposts for Ravagh (three in Manhattan and two on Long Island).

People seem to like this place. Eater gave it high marks in a roundup of Persian restaurants ... while the reader comments were positive, with one noting on our last post: "I eat here all the time! The ghormeh sabzi is the best I've ever had in a restaurant. Very much hoping they open up again soon."

Ravagh Persian Grill currently closed for renovations

Ravagh Persian Grill on First Avenue between Seventh Street and St. Mark's Place has been dark of late.

Signage on the front windows points to a temporary closure for renovations (in a positive sign, their outgoing phone message relates the same info).

Anyway, I've never eaten here. It gets high marks from one reliable source. Here's what Eater had to say about it in a roundup of Persian restaurants:

The menu here stands up to some of Southern California's best Iranian restaurants. The barg kebab (whole chunks of beef rather than ground meat) is particularly flavorful, as are the joojeh (lemon chicken) kebabs. Get the kashk e bademjan as an appetizer. The creamy eggplant dip is enhanced with kashk, which is creamy whey that has a tart and almost caramelized flavor. Don't forget to order dessert: Zoolbia, which looks like a funnel-cake but is potato-chip crisp and soaked in a rose water syrup, goes well with amber-colored Persian tea.
