" I love this restaurant! Everything was perfect, from the food to the service. The kofta kabob was absolutely delicious, and the rice complemented it well with saffron. The restaurant had a charming layout with beautiful decor! Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the dishes and offered great suggestions. I really enjoyed the Persian tea we ordered for dessert; it was the highlight of our meal! I’ve been back multiple times and will continue to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Aria was a great experience! The menu features a lot of options, and every dish we ordered was cooked to perfection. I particularly enjoyed the eggplant dip, which had a unique taste with fresh herbs. Our server was attentive without being overly intrusive, and we received our food in a timely manner. The lamb was tender, though I found the falafel slightly dry. Overall, I would definitely recommend this restaurant for Persian style meals! " (*Curated Review*)

" Aria Restaurant lives up to its reputation! The ambiance is casual yet elegant, and it’s perfect for a night out. I ordered the zeresk polo and it was exquisite. The tartness of the barberries with the tender chicken was a match made in heaven! The portions were plentiful, and I took home leftovers. The staff was courteous and attentive throughout our meal. I am eager to explore more dishes next time I’m in the neighborhood! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful place! My meal at Aria was refreshing and tasty. We tried the chicken kabob, eggplant dip, and the saffron rice, which was delicious! However, the service was a little slower than expected. The atmosphere was beautiful but could have used a little more warmth. Overall, I enjoyed my time and would recommend visiting. " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent visit was fantastic! I couldn’t get enough of the dizi; it was hearty and comforting. The ambiance felt more upscale than what you would expect from a regular Persian place, and the service was impressively welcoming. There was plenty of selection, and I loved that the menu has detailed descriptions of each dish. I will definitely return to explore more flavors soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, I left Aria disappointed after my visit. The food just didn’t meet my expectations, especially tasting bland. The service was friendly but felt slow. The atmosphere was nice, but I wanted to love this place and just didn’t. I feel bad giving a lower rating as the reviews are so good, but I maybe caught them on an off day. " (*Curated Review*)

" Aria Restaurant is a lovely spot for authentic Persian dishes! Every dish we ordered was bursting with flavor. I particularly enjoyed the chicken koubideh, which was grilled to perfection. The atmosphere is very cozy, and the staff is genuinely friendly. I highly recommend finishing your meal with the saffron ice cream; it’s something special. I can’t wait for my next visit!
