Arya Steakhouse - (Near Palo Alto, CA)

5 /5 Javeria Khan: Came here for an anniversary dinner. Food and ambience were both perfect. The service was amazing, our waiter and everyone else that we interacted with made sure we had a lovely night. Will definitely be back soon.

5 /5 Salim Ali Khan: Our experience here definitely was outstanding from start to finish. Parking usually is not a hassle as there are a couple of parking lots that can be used depending on the time of the day, for parking needs. Richard was our host, and he was absolutely amazing, attentive, knowledgeable, and perfectly paced throughout the evening, making sure everything flowed smoothly. We started with a side of vegetables that turned out to be vibrant, colorful, and beautifully prepared. Each vegetable tasted fresh and well-seasoned, making it a standout side rather than an afterthought. We ordered the Ash Soup (Aash Reshteh) along with that and it definitely was comforting, hearty, and full of depth. Warm, flavorful, and made with care exactly what you want in a traditional Persian soup. Ready to eat some steak, we ordered the Dry-Aged Ribeye . The presentation was stunning, and the steak itself was cooked to perfection rich, tender, and packed with flavor. Every bite was fresh, juicy, and deeply satisfying. Along with that we also ordered Fesenjoon, beautifully balanced with its signature sweet-and-tangy notes, tasting rich, fresh, and incredibly comforting. The ambiance was awesome and it definitely was elegant yet welcoming, making it a great spot for a special lunch/dinner/meal or a relaxed upscale evening. Exceptional food, thoughtful presentation, warm ambiance, and Richard’s fantastic service definitely made for a memorable dining experience.

5 /5 Maria Salcido: Arya Steakhouse was really good. The steaks were excellent and cooked perfectly, and the creamy gnocchi was amazing. The atmosphere is nice and relaxed, and the waiters were great super attentive and friendly. It’s also a great place for special occasions like birthdays or anniversaries. Overall, a great experience and definitely a place I’d go back to.

5 /5 F S: It’s been awhile since we dined here. Came to celebrate a birthday. Tried the meatballs, marrow, hummus, wagyu burger, koobideh combo, lamb rack and dry aged ribeye. We love the ribeye. The burger and koobideh were also good.

5 /5 Jason Shultz: Let’s start off with the great. The service was amazing. The level of service was comparable to a Michelin star restaurant. The drinks were good as well. The cocktail menu was thoughtful and provided opportunities for experimentation. The portion sizes were perfect and gave opportunities to share. Presentation was not as well thought out, though. Lastly, the only disappointing item we had was the steak. Two of us got the cowboy cut steak and it was just average. Every other dish we tried was delicious and very well received. If we ever ate there again we would avoid it. It was a small knock on what otherwise a really good evening and I’m not going to hold it against them in my rating. It wasn’t bad, just average. Since it’s a primarily a Persian restaurant we should have stuck with those options.
