Reviews for Arya Steakhouse in Palo Alto, CA
I went with a group of 11 and several people said this was the greatest steak they've ever had. It's clear they source high... quality meat and the cook on the steak was consistently excellent. The other star of the show was the kabob section. I highlyrecommend getting the lamp or lamp chops. Both were well-seasoned and the meat is juicy. It also comes with some of the bestsapphire rice I've eaten in a while. The only negative was that the service was a bit slow and our entrees didn't all come outat once. Otherwise, an excellent experience with a unique menu. Read more
Amazing food and amazing service. The owner Chef Mike came out and visited with us and my family and was incredibly kind and... welcoming. It was a family members birthday and he was even nice enough to come back with a bottle of Moscato on the house totreat us, highly recommend for a delicious meal and even better hospitality. Merci Chef and staff!! Read more
We entered the front door where two young receptionists greeted us and showed us to our seats. Steve the manager took care of... us. Steve and his staff were very polite and walked us through the menu. They explained to us where they source theiringredients. This restaurant is a more upscale restaurant. Excellent place for a special date or business client meeting. Goodplace for a nice family gathering. The menu has two major themes. One is authentic Iranian food and second is American stylesteaks with premium meat. All the meat is 100 percent halal and they verbally explained that to me and it is clearly written inthe menu. The meat quality was excellent. Halal meat steaks have a special taste because most of the blood is completely drainedout of the animal thus you can really enjoy the flavor of the meat and you hardly taste the iron flavor from the blood. Thecowboy steak had an excellent ring of fat with bone attached. I ordered medium well done so inside was completely juicy and softand the ring of fat was nicely seared and charred. We also had the koobideh platter with the chicken and beef kebab. Very welldone! This restaurant represents the best of America. Iranian family with multicultural staff serving traditional Iranian foodwith the best quality American steak. This restaurant has a unique product and place that brings everyone to eat. Thisrestaurant is a celebration of the American experiment. I will be back to eat more. Kudos to the Arya team! Read more

We had appointment for dinner and was seated promptly and waited a while for our server to arrive. We thought they forget about... us and finally Stephen arrived and he completely surprised us with excellent service. Food are pricey and all meats are halal.They are moving soon to Palo Alto which is much closer for us. Stephen gave a birthday cake for our friend who is celebratinghis birthday and visiting from out of country. Highly recommended. Read more

Finally got the chance to visit this Arya Steak house (Halal). Very nice and clean place inside out. Host was nice and... immediately got use seated. We ordered kids the mac and cheese, which was nice. Ordered samosas and meat balls for appetizers.Samosas were good, but meat balls seems be tough and it seems like it was finished in the microwave. I ordered cowboy ribeyemedium, it was cooked perfectly and I enjoyed every bit of it. Wife ordered chicken kabab and she enjoyed her dish as well. Iwill definitely visit again when i am in the area.

Very good value and quality. Persian restaurant with great kabobs and meats. Especially the barg filet mignon kabab combo with... chicken or the koobideh combo of chicken and beef skewers. The barg was a bit on the dry side so perhaps a bit more rare wouldhave been perfect for this lean meat. The bone marrow appetizer was flavorful but didn't really do it for me. The calamariappetizer paired with shishito peppers was excellent. Very attentive and excellent service completes it! Read more
