Aria Persian Cuisine & Turkish Grille

The meat was the best I’ve ever had and was so moist!!!!! The saffron ice cream was the BEST THING EVER

I’m off the tab having a great meal! The heaviness of lamb and rice and the lightness of Persian tossed salad. As I sit here I find myself thinking about Persian restaurants, and what it is to be one in Pittsburgh. I myself come from Baltimore, I could have been Persian, but I wasn’t and that is that. My role in Persian food is to go to Persian restaurants in Pittsburgh and eat at them. There is something deeply spiritual about all this.

We ordered the Persian eggplant appetizer, one Afghan and one Iranian main dish, and the Kunefe for dessert. The dishes were authentic and flavorful—perhaps not the best we’ve ever had, but still very enjoyable. We truly appreciated the warm hospitality, attentive service, and cozy ambiance. Overall, a lovely dining experience!

First time here and there's no other word but AMAZING!
The food was so authentic it tasted like my husband's Persian grandma made it 30 years ago! We ordered the ashe reshteh, shavid polo, khoresht gheymeh, large mixed appetizer and Persian eggplant.
The food was so fresh and perfectly flavored. The service was fast and super friendly. Place was very clean and authentically attractive.
I will say it's my new favorite restaurant

On my way back home, I stopped by here for dinner, and it was the best Persian food experience I've had in the U.S

We tried the mixed kebab with zereshk polo and chicken, and everything was absolutely amazing! The kebabs were juicy and flavorful, and the chicken was tender and perfectly cooked. The quality of the food was beyond expectations. Definitely coming back again!
