About Aria Persian Cuisine & Turkish Grille

Aria Persian Cuisine & Turkish Grille is a small, family-run restaurant with just 6 tables and seating for around 25 people. Despite its cozy size, the restaurant offers a great selection of authentic Persian and Turkish dishes, and the service is praised as amazing. The menu features a variety of options, including Lamb Gyro Wrap, Chicken Gyro Wrap, Lamb Shish Kebap, Lamb Adana Kebap, Chicken Kebap, Doner Kebap, Chicken Adana Kebap, Iskender Kebap, Shrimp Kebap, and Salmon Kebap. Customers also enjoy the Chay (Afghan Tea) and sheer chai afghan (cardamom tea with milk).

The food is excellent, with good portions and true to the cuisines, and many dishes are highly praised, including kabobs, grilled fish, saffron rice, crispy chicken, chicken doner, lamb doner, Turkish eggplant, hummus, and Mast-o Khoa’s. The baklava is especially loved and considered the best ever, even after traveling to many countries. The restaurant is BYOB, which adds to its value and makes it a favorite spot for returning customers. Customers appreciate the warm hospitality, beautiful Persian music, and the inviting atmosphere that makes diners feel right at home.

While the food and service are outstanding, the only minor suggestion is to replace the plastic table covers, as they can sometimes stick to the plates, making them difficult to move. Parking can also be a bit limited in front of the restaurant, so visitors may need to park a short distance away.

Overall, Aria Persian Cuisine & Turkish Grille is a great choice for authentic and delicious Middle Eastern fare, with a welcoming environment and attentive service that keeps customers coming back.

very cold, the chairs so close to the table that even me under 120 pounds could not get myself seated without pushing the table away! Only one glass of tea for over 3 dollars and even then the tea re-fill was warm and not hot-and very pale and they had charged agian for such re-fill. We clearly had asked for re-fill. This was made with a used tea bag no aroma, no color, there was no welcoming or anything either. No I was very disappointed!! It seemed we were punished because...read full review

I placed an order which I never received. I called the restaurant and was told they never received my order and it wasn’t their responsibility to resolve the situation. Whoever I got on the phone was cavalier, dismissive and unprofessional...the person made it clear keeping my business wasn’t important to them at all. I’ve heard good things about this place but my experience was terrible.
