Aria Mediterranean Cuisine

Great deal for some healthy food options. It's become r go to!!! Friendly staff also.

Very good homestyle -- if not quite what you'd call authentic -- levantine cuisine, heavy on the middle eastern side of things (kebabs, felafel, hummus, cucumber salad, et alias) basically the same dishes two different ways -- wraps, or platters. The felafel was tasty but a bit dry for my taste, as was the rice. There's some strange outdoor seating (our table was angled because we were basically in a parking spot) and the available tables inside are pretty basic; the restaurant clearly caters to a heavily takeout-oriented crowd. We tried all the vegetarian stuff (salmon, felafel, veggie, and gobi) and it was good, not transportive, but exactly what you'd want for a middle eastern comfort platter. The owners were friendly, if a little busy when we went on a Friday night, and we did not wait more than the expected amount of time for our food.One suggestion for the owners: add bowls to the menu. It will give you a third way to package and sell the same entrees, and properly done can provide a middle level for somebody who's more hungry than a wrap and less hungry than a platter. Plus, the packaging is a lot easier.

Aria serves up Mediterranean/Middle Eastern eats, and their menu includes sandwiches and wraps, entrees, side dishes, and desserts.We came here for an early dinner, and based on their website, they were supposed to open at 3 PM on a Saturday; however, the 'Open' sign wasn't turned on and the door was closed.When we finally walked in, there seems to be a sense of being overwhelmed and being confused from the staff; not sure if they have never hosted a larger party, or if they were debating whether to officially state that they were open for business? We did see a party of 3 already dining in, which was odd.We ordered:+a Salmon Kabob Sandwich - it's a pita sandwich with grilled chunks of marinated salmon+a Chicken Kabob Sandwich - it's a pita sandwich with chunks of marinated chicken+a Chicken Kabob entree - comes with basmati rice, a grilled tomato, tzatziki sauce, pita, and a choice of cucumber or a Greek salad; the 'Greek Salad' is actually tabouleh, so we opted for the cucumber salad; the tomato wasn't even grilled and was just half of a raw tomato; the chicken, while some overcooked, others were RAW (please see photos); rice was not flavorful at all+a Chicken Curry entree - comes with basmati rice, a grilled tomato, tzatziki sauce, pita, and a choice of cucumber or a Greek salad; the 'Greek Salad' is actually tabouleh, so we opted for the cucumber salad; the chicken curry had an off-putting odor to it; the chicken itself seemed to be white meat and shredded, but super overdry; sauce seemed similar to a chana masala that's heavily tomato-basedWe did let the staff know about the raw chicken, but it wasn't addressed.When you sit down, a pita basket with hummus is provided; the pita was very warm, and the hummus, while more on the bland side, was a good starter; I just wished someone was available to refill the pita and/or the dip.Service was a bit nonexistent, and it was hard trying to request correct order of drinks, extra silverware, plates, etc.Overall, this was just not a good experience.Metered street parking and lot is available.+RAW chicken served+nonexistent service+metered street parking available

Great food, even better kind and friendly service. I ordered the lamb and chicken gyro platter to go, with cucumber salad. I ended up getting a slice of baclava too, Soooo good. Everything was very tasty, and exceeded my expectations. I'll be back for sure. Do yourself a favor and stop by.

A tiny Mediterranean restaurant with amazing food. Such friendly staff and reasonable prices. I loved the hummus and we had a delicious meal outside on the terrace.

Review of Aria's Stall at Bryn Mawr Farmers Market:Wow this food is AMAZING! Vegetarian options include chickpeas and cauliflower, okra, falafel, tabbouleh, strange-but-magnificent corn dish, and samosas. For the carnivores, they serve lamb, chicken, and maybe seafood salad. The baklava is AMAZING, and only $7 for a piece that serves 4. You can order platters or purchase one-off containers (most containers are $7 each). Customer service is fun and friendly. They always remember their regular customers. Check out Aria Mediterranean at the Bryn Mawr Farmers Market on Saturdays from 9 AM to 1 PM...and arrive early if you want the full menu. Aria sells out -- popular demand!

One word- Fabulous! Picked up a platter at their Bryn Mawr Farmers market stand. Lamb patties, yellow rice, cauliflower/chick peas and okra. I've been looking a for a middle eastern restaurant Afghan or Persian . Not sure of the exact cuisine her but it is absolutely delicious. Reminds me of my friends Moms cooking - growing up in DC . I'm looking forward to going to the market again to get a platter. They also had pre-prepared cold containers of falafel, tabouule and other dishes to go. The restaurant people were so friendly. Please come back to the market. I will come to your restaurant too.

Food was great and service was above and beyond Don't miss stopping in here

Three entrees of delicious food prepared in 20 minutes. We had chicken curry, lamb kebab, and gyro platter. Everything was very good. The white sauce was especially tasty!

What can I say about this place? Nice decor, three levels of tables, large windows with plenty of natural light. Every time I've been there, more than 20 times perhaps, I've been pleased with my meal. There's always new and interesting items on the menu and interesting cocktails as well. Don't worry about parking because there's a lot right down the street. Always pleasant and informative waitstaff as well.
