Yummy food! I'm really really satisfied with their dishes! π I love Persian food! During my college days, I tend to stress-eat and one of my go-to restaurants would be Persia Grill (nearest to what i could afford back then)which served some good dishes (budget friendly persian restaurant), but Arya restaurant... I knew this was one of the authentic ones! And I can afford it now π
Beef sultani - beef kabab & like a beef steak served with rice and some side veggies. Marinated well and grilled to just the right amoint of time. π We always order this now. It's good for 2-3 people.
Lamb steak (forgot what it was called) - was served with pita bread - - - - really good! Chewy and warm, paired with the lamb and the garlic sauce... Yum!!! β₯
Arya yogurt smoothie - so yummy!!! π Must have!
Service crew was nice. The place was a bit limited but food was great! They increased their prices by a lot when I saw their menu, but I'd still like to dine there by the quality of their food. π Thank you for a wonderful meal π΄
We went there on a weekend dinner time, the place wasn't full so we were given a table right away.
The server was attentive and was kind enough to suggest a platter for the two of us. The Koobideh platter was perfect for 2, we requested to change the lamb to chicken instead. The meat was tender and flavorful, served hot. We also ordered the pita bread and biryani rice. The bread was served fresh and hot, the biryani rice was so-so.
Overall experience was great, will definitely come back to try the other dishes esp the hummus. Price is ok for the quality of food.
The branch inside the mall is small and intimate, it'd be crowded if on full house. Decor could use some renovation though.
Since I m craving for hummus and pita bread while im on my way going home.
I've seen this restaurant and of course, I know that they offer hummus though I still asked them.
The restaurant is located outside the mall and can be easily found.
The ambiance once I entered is pure arabic from music to wall decorations though the restroom is quite dirty when I visit.
The arabic guy is attentive to my needs and even offer me to sit down and give me water even I am just ordering for take out.
To be honest, the food price is quite expensive and I wouldn't even dare to dine in.
Overall, when cravings kick in, i might buy here again for hummus.

Turkish Coffee was GREAT! Their lamb and their rice taste light, it has strong onion like taste. Cant remember what weve order. But Turkish Coffee π€€π€€.
The Chicken Kebab was cooked just right for me. Nothing fancy about the restaurant but the food and presentation was good. Also ordered their cucumber in yogurt and olive oil. Too bad they nonlonger have Barbari which is the staple bread for Persians.
There are two branches of Arya in Robinsons Place Manila. I dined at the one inside the mall, second floor. This branch is quite small but ambience is good.
Overall, the food was delicious. Service was fast and attentive. Though it's a bit pricey if you're dining solo.
Tip: They have free WiFi.

We had the following:
Chicken & Beef Kabab with Basmati Rice
Keema Pratha
Plain Yoghurt Smoothie
I prefer the chicken over the beef kabab because I can taste more spices in it. The beef tasted a lot like burger steak from Kenny Roger's but I guess it can't be helped since it's beef. The rice was fluffy and well-seasoned. I'm going to order this again.
The Keema tasted well with the Pratha. I highly recommend that you order this too.
Plain Yoghurt smoothie tasted good until the last drop. Haha! But not the best yoghurt smoothie there is. I highly recommend to partner this with the kabab or anything spicy. Obviously.
The service was okay. They weren't very friendly or accommodating.
Finally had the time to write some reviews. Have been craving for kebabs and decided to try Arya in Robinson's Midtown. The staff were friendly and accommodating. I ordered their beef kobideh wd basmati rice, extra grilled onion and reg Coke. The serving was huge. It was actually good for 2 people. Was only able to finish half of it and have the other half wrapped. Will definitely come back to try their shawarma, hummus and babaganoush. One thing i have noticed though, kaya sya mukhang mas pricey kc mas malaki tlaga un serving nila. If ok un ibang fud nila , won't hesitate to give them a 5.
Our 3rd time here and probably will not be the last. Food was great, their flavorings suits my tastebuds... Though it is a little bit pricey...
Beef, chicken, and lamb kebab skewers πππ’
Yogurt mango smoothie π¨
Arya offers a wide range of Persian/Meditterenean food at a fairly reasonable price. I like that they have several ox based dishes (ox brain!) and how pita bread is kept warm by a cloth in a basket.
Arya is something I used to avoid because of the intimidating vibe the restaurant sends out. However, just recently, fate gave me an opportunity to try this out. Lo and behold, I liked (not loved) the experience! The kebas were fantastic except for the chicken ones. I found the price a bit expensive though.
There are still a lot on the menu that I will soon discover, but with those that I've tried, I think Arya is something special in providing quality Persian delights!
