ARIA Mediterranean Grill

Such a cozy nice place. I enjoyed my meal very much. Everything was special delicious. I'm not a huge rice person but their rice is incredibly. Valentina is the sweetest and the manager she was fantastic as well as the older gentleman. I thought the younger guy was incredibly rude. He tried to get me to get my food to go, he kept ignoring me, didn't get my water, and was not kind like the others. Everyone else was incredible! Loved the honey hot green tea it's better than most green teas.

Came here on a weekday night with some friends and shared an entree as well as an appetizer. The dolmeh that we got as an appetizer was interesting, the flavor was very vinegary, which personally, I am not the biggest fan of, but I think it will definitely appeal more to people who like sour flavor profiles.The combo of ground beef and chicken tender kebab was so good, the meat was super tender and juicy while being perfectly grilled, and the rice was nice and fluffy. This place has a nicer ambiance that makes it good if you want to dress slightly better than casual for your meal!

We went back in October. It's being suggested for help review because I opened the app today. We got the koobideh kabob chicken and beef. I don't remember what they were calling everything. Our food was great. I think they use the saffron butter maybe. The service was slow and seemed difficult for the server to either hear or understand us. There was an awkward bit at the end where she was kind and offered a free slice of cheesecake for my friend's birthday. I asked for the fruit kind and ordered a slice of roll cake for myself. They never brought the free cheesecake so my friend finally asked for it. That felt strange and felt rude to ask for a free thing lol. Don't pay extra $7 or $11 for barberries or albalo lol. Go buy a pack. When you have these add ons in your own kitchen you can't justify that. Still the food was great and cooked very well. Everything tasted fresh. Would love to do pickup.

We come here from time to time for team meetings and it's the one establishment that has something for everyone on our team. The food quality is really good, portions are generous! It does take a little time to get our food, but perhaps that is because we come in with a larger group. It is a bit on the pricier side but I think it is worth it.The chocolate cheesecake was decent, very very thick... it satisfied our sweet tooth but when I think of cheese cake Aria doesn't come to mind, I'll just leave it at that.Staff is very nice!

Extremely overpriced for a terrible experience. Baba Ghanoush was probably the worst I've ever tasted. Their kebabs are good, but their "house special" braised beef sabzi was absolutely horrendous. Tasted exactly as it looked, like biting into nothing but sour herbs and with maybe 3-5 small pieces of actual beef. If it's $30 for an entree, don't give us water that would make Flint Michigan's water taste like a delicacy. It's also silly that their tables are smaller than the actual booth seats, and they reserve a whole booth for employees during dinner on a Saturday (weird). $180 lesson for us as we were looking forward to trying their dishes. Marked to avoid for us.

Stumbled upon this place for lunch yesterday with my husband. Great little spot. (Parking was a pain FYI)Ambience was good, service was friendly and great, food was overall really tasty. The presentation was nice; the portion size to price was normal. They do have some specialty dishes that are higher in price point that I want to try. They have a few Iranian dishes as well. Love the menu selection. We ordered the Dolmeh to start. They were honestly my least favorite thing I tried but they were still okay. I ordered the combo plate with the beef and the spicy chicken. The beef was good but the spicy chicken was better. Next time I'd like to try the lamb kabobs and the salmon kabobs. Everything was cooked to perfection and was overall really tasty. For dessert we tried the Persian ice cream; I loved the flavors; it was really nice with the rose water and pistachios. I would def come back when in the area again.

Love the food! Our usual spot for few years now. Service is great as well. Our go to is the ground beef kebab, saffron ice cream and cake roll.

LEGIT FOOD! Wish pricing was a little less. Service was good and everything we got was fantastic.

My husband and I are VERY picky eaters, and I will not go anywhere that uses fake oils like the infamous canola oil. I only go to restaurants that use authentic food ingredients absent of MSG or other toxic chemicals. ARIA is AUTHENTICALLY wonderful and THIS is the epitome of amazing food/ atmosphere/ service. Aesthetics: this restaurant is very, very clean. Even as you approach the building, you can readily see the meticulous care they put in. How cute is the light that shines on the wall with their logo! The lighting is so soft, and inviting. I can't stand it when I go into restaurants, and the lighting is so bright with those disgusting LED lights that make you feel like someone is screaming. Here, the lighting is on point, and adds to the relaxation. Service: Our waiter was Abdi. So kind, so professional, and extremely knowledgeable. His wife brought us the food, and she explained that the saffron was personally brought back by her from Iran. Wow! What an amazing touch! Abdi made us feel very welcome, and he treated us like royalty. Food: 10/10. It's authentic, no toxic, chemically-laden foods here! The owners are in the kitchen cooking for you! I had the ground beef kabob, and let me tell you, it was moist, juicy and full of amazing flavor. The saffron rice was cooked perfectly, and the salad we had was very good with their house vinaigrette made with authentic olive oil. My husband had a green stew, but I do not remember the name of it. It had a lot of flavorful herbs and I do feel like it came from the heavens above. If you want authentically great food, with great service and atmosphere, come here. I do NOT know this family personally, and this review is from my heart. I do not feel that this restaurant deserves any disparaging comments. If you are upset that the prices do not fit your budget, I encourage you to go to one of the many fast-food restaurants in the area. Don't come to an exquisite restaurant, and expect something for nothing. You have gained a loyal customer for life. Thank you for the amazing experience.

I can't say enough positive things about this beautiful restaurant. They team in the kitchen definitely knows their way around Persian and Mediterranean food and they put out an incredible meal for a very fair price. So many smiles from the staff was the icing on the cake. We tried several things on the menu and everything was perfect.
