Sabzi Opening in Arlington, Taking Over Former Prose Spot

A new restaurant is coming to Arlington, moving into the space where another eatery had been, and it looks like it may be featuring Persian cuisine.

According to the Arlington Patch, Sabzi is planning to open on Mass. Ave. (just east of Arlington Center) in the former Prose spot. It looks like the new restaurant may focus on Iranian fare, as "sabzi" is a Persian reference to herbs or greens. The Patch mentions that Sabzi will apparently be serving alcohol, as it received a beer and wine license earlier this week.

Prose, the restaurant that had been in the space that Sabzi is moving into, was an eclectic eatery that had been in business for about 15 years until closing this past New Year's Eve.

[July 13 update: According to posters on Chowhound, Sabzi is now open.]

The address for this new restaurant in Arlington is: Sabzi, 352 Massachusetts Avenue, Arlington, MA, 02474.
