If someone says to you - Persian! - and you think - Rug! - we are here today to help you modify and improve your thought process. When you think Persian, you should now think Ravagh, as we are incredibly impressed with their amazingly underrated cuisine. We first tried the Mediterranean/Chopped Salad above. Beautifully arranged, this was a symphony of chopped iceberg lettuce, steak tomato, cucumber, red onion and feta cheese mixed with vinaigrette.
The next delicious edible entry into our batting order was the Kashk Bademjan: cooked eggplant in their homemade tomato sauce, topped with yogurt. It was all nicely blended. The texture and flavor were incredible! The creamy yogurt on top was a terrific touch.
We tried two varieties of kebobs. The first, shown above, is the Jujeh Kabob. Cornish Hen in lemon saffron marinate, char-grilled to perfection is juicy and delicious. We like the color they incorporate into the presentation as well as the nutrition. Not only was the hen succulent but also the tomato and onion added panache. You must try the Albaloo rice-it is cherry and fantastic!
The second kebob we tried was the Salmon Shish Kebob. Cubes of salmon were grilled to perfection. The salmon was fresh and gorgeously seasoned. This was our favorite of the items we tried, though all were superb. We can't wait to tell you more! We visited the Upper East side location, however, there are a few so do check out their site:
