    Ambiance: fast casual, quaint, kind of quiet depending who's there. Cute date spot. Service: 10/10. I like that they make conversation. They knew we were first timers to their place. Food: I already want to come back. Sumac in a shaker dispenser is such a good move for those who like extra seasoning on everything.

    TLDR: It's one of the better Mediterranean spots that I've been to. I really enjoyed their chicken, beef, and appetizers. My one complaint is that they're priced a bit more than my go-to spot. I don't mind that they see themselves that way, I just feel that a bit more rice and meat would've really made the familly meal worth it. Mirza Ghasemi: It's interesting how the many Mediterranean restaurants that I've been to all have a roasted eggplant appetizer, and they rarely taste the same. I feel that Aria's belongs in the top 5, and it pairs well with their Naan. Hummus: I sadly don't have enough knowledge to differentiate between good and bad hummus. I thought the hummus was good, and it's a classic. Naan: Bread is bread. Just serve it hot, and it's hard to hate, especially with sides. Tomato, Onion: Roasted well, soft, and pairs well with the rest of the meal. Rice: I'm yet to find a Mediterranean with bad rice. I'm glad that still holds true. Beef Koobideh: It's the most unique beef koobideh that I've ever had. My one complaint in general with these is that you have to eat them fresh. I was impressed that the quality of this koobideh stayed well throughout the meal. Normally, it's a 2nd placer for most restaurants compared to the barg, but I feel that Aria's beef koobideh is good enough to directly compete with the barg. Chicken Koobideh: It's better than fine. I don't normally enjoy these enough to recommend ordering it, but I can confidently say that this is worth trying. Beef Barg: It meets the standard of what the barg is supposed to be. You get the heavily seasoned beef that's easy to cut and chew. I think it's a step or half step below the best I've had, but it doesn't take anything away from the meat as a whole. Service: Very good. It's a small family operation, but they time things properly. Food came in at a reasonable time period, and we were checked on frequently. Ambiance: A small restaurant that seats less than 30 but it doesn't feel too tight. It's clean and I think it deserves more business.

    We came here after my boyfriend's friend from S.P. highly recommended this place. We walked in and were met by Alma and her husband, the owners. We were seated, and we asked for appetizer suggestions. She was so nice and helpful, she recommended Mirza Ghasemi, tomato eggplant, and Shiraz Salad for appetizers. Both were so delicious. For the main dish, we had Beef Shish Kabob; the fillet mignon was tender, and the basmati rice was soft and fluffy and delicious, and the Beef Barg was just as good. The Tea was good. After dinner, you have to try their dessert, wow, delicious. Highly recommend this small but delicious Food. I have to point out that Arias Grill was much better than O.S on 2nd St in L.B. Of course, I can't write the full name, but you know which one. Plenty of parking.

    Aria's easily deserves a 5-star rating. The food is simply outstanding. If you're looking for Persian/Middle Eastern/Mediterranean, this is the spot to visit. You know the food is going to be good when the restaurant is busy on a Thursday week night. We got there around 7pm on a Thursday, and all the tables were taken up by what looked like locals and regulars. That's a great sign. The restaurant itself is very clean and on the smaller side. There are less than 10 tables. The chicken and beef koobideh is outstanding. The meat is incredibly tender and flavorful. The rice is cooked to perfection. And the charred tomato and onion add a nice grill taste to the food. We also ordered the Mizra Ghasemi appetizer and it was absolutely delicious. It's smoky garlic tomato eggplant dip. We'd come back in a heartbeat.

    One of the better Persian restaurants in the South Bay. Located in a long strip mall parking can be a challenge with so many eateries but it's worth it. Service is excellent and the food is even better. I always get their chicken and beef Koobideh which are most and seasoned nicely. I need to try their Barg next time. Small place but nice seating and furniture is new and clean. Will be back for sure.

    This cute restaurant is located in a busy plaza and a bit hidden but its very cozy and clean inside. As I walked in to order my meal I couldn't help but look at all the diners' food and they all looked delicious. Their menu has a variety to choose from, many options! I ordered the chicken and beef koobideh. The portion is quite massive. It came with a pack of pita bread but no hummus or anything to dip the pita bread in. Having pita without hummus or a dip is a bit odd but next time ill order a side of hummus, no biggie. I also like how they provide a quarter of a raw onion because I love onion. I will definitely come back and try more dishes. Thank you Aria!

    Beef and Chicken Koobideh so good and juicy!

    This place is the real deal best persian kabob spot in the south bay. Forget about other places that are not even authentic Persian kabob places, they are usually greek or indian style kabobs with herbs and different additives. Persian style is the best because the meat itself is the star of the show, juicy and flavorful. I got the beef and chicken koobideh which was spectacular! Both juicy, fresh and flavorful. The basmati rice is fluffy. The tomato is roasted perfection. It all melds together into a symphony of bliss. Its high restaurant grade quality. The place is clean and the staff is extremely friendly. Will be back here for my kabob fix every time!

    The best hospitality I have received from a restaurant, Fred was amazing and patient with explaining the menu and food options. 10/10 will be coming back ! THNAK YOU SO MUCH !! Restaurant was clean and welcoming

    Chicken koobideh, chicken kabob, and Cornish hen, along with pita foe the table.

    The best Mediterranean food in town, everything is delicious and freshly made. This is a family owned business, the real deal. Not only is dine in and take out good, my friends and I have ordered their food for a couple of parties and it was a hit! Portions are generous and the food is high quality. I love the chicken tender kabob. My friends love the Cornish game hen and chicken koobideh. The meals come with rice and a roasted tomato and onion. The owners are friendly and accommodating to dietary restrictions.

    Chicken and beef koobideh.  Aka heaven on a plate.

    Hands down my favorite spot in the south bay!! The portions are easily enough for two people, but honestly I could finish the whole thing myself...I'm not even a leftovers person, but I actually dream about eating my Aria's the next day, it's that good lol. I used to always get Lebanese food when I worked in Hollywood, and after I left I couldn't find anything in the South Bay that compared. Then I tried Aria's. I know it's not Lebanese, but it definitely hits that same craving for really good middle eastern food. Don't overthink it...just order from Aria's. You won't be disappointed. 100/10 recommend!!!!

    We tried Aria's Grill for the first time and really enjoyed it! It's a small Persian spot in the Harbor Gateway area, not far from Torrance. It's in a busy little strip mall where most of the parking is limited to 30 minutes, so just a heads up. The lady working there--she was both the hostess and our server--was super friendly, welcoming, and really made us feel at home. We started with the Tahdig (crispy rice) and Maast-o-Khiar (yogurt with cucumbers), and both were really good. For mains, we had the Cornish chicken with basmati rice and grilled tomatoes. The chicken was juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right--we loved it! We also ordered the grilled lamb chops and beef shish kabob, and we specifically asked for both to be cooked medium rare. We even said if that wasn't possible, we'd order something else. The lamb chops came out perfect--tender, well-seasoned, and cooked just how we asked. But the beef kabob was more medium well. To her credit, our server was super apologetic. She told us she had communicated our request but figured the kitchen may have gotten busy and overcooked it. She offered to take it off the check and invited us back to try again--which we really appreciated. Even with that small hiccup, everything we tried was delicious, and the service was great. We'll definitely be back to try more!

    Well GDang! I have been craving some Mediterranean and have been kinda disappointed by some of the local South Bay offerings. I've tried a handful of places, some in Gardena, Torrance, Redondo... I used to always go to Panini Grill in the OC or Irvine Grill. As I finished ordering the beef soltani, a lady with her daughter were picking up a take out order. I decided to go wait in my car since it's cook to order which was about 20 minutes. I held the door for them on the way out and she tells me, "this is the best Mediterranean in the South Bay." Lady, YOU DID NOT LIE! Serving size for price is good. If not eating like I was starving, it was probably enough for three servings. The meat was so tender,not needing a knife to slice. The cashier and server were super nice as well. This is going to be my go to for sure!

I've never eaten in, but I've picked up food from here twice and have enjoyed their food at my sister's house at least one other time. The first thing I don't understand is how this place is in Torrance rather than Redondo Beach. I don't mean that I don't understand why they chose Torrance over Redondo Beach; I mean that I just don't understand the two cities' boundaries very well, because this feels like straight-up North Redondo to me. The second thing I don't understand is how this place hasn't expanded or multiplied or otherwise won the hearts and minds and stomachs of South Bayers near and far. But maybe it already has. The third thing I don't understand is why I don't come here more often. It's not that far from my sister's house, and I was dog-sitting there earlier this year. . . . I'm fresh out of things I don't understand. What I do understand is that the owners of this place (an Armenian brother and sister?) are amazing. The food is so good and fresh and flavorful. The menu is kind of all over the place, which in most cases is a red flag, but in the case of more than one restaurant owned and operated by Armenians (I'm including my cousin's restaurant before he sold it and retired), the more different items on the menu, the better. Or at least it's not a red flag. I promise. The combo deal is legit, but even without that deal, the prices are good, especially when you consider the food quality. Writing his review now makes me miss King Mediterrano even though I don't normally miss it or think about it. Those days are over. Next time I have calories to collect in the South Bay, I'm headed straight for Redondo Beach Boulevard.

    Al Hamra Kabob Grill is a restaurant run by a Pakistani owner, specializing in kebabs and grilled…read moremeats inspired by Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine. The menu also features traditional Pakistani, Persian, and Arabic dishes, such as Beef Nihari and Haleem. After several visits, here are my thoughts on some of their grilled meats and desserts. Beef Kofta - 3/5. The kofta was a bit dry and tough. I wish it had more fat and seasoning to make it juicier and more flavorful. The grilling is also somewhat inconsistent--sometimes the kofta comes out beautifully browned, while other times it's over-charred. Grilled Fish - 4/5. This is easily my favorite item on the menu and, in my opinion, their best dish. The fish is seasoned just enough to enhance its natural flavor without overpowering it. It's grilled very well, developing a beautiful golden-brown crust while remaining moist and tender inside. Beef Shish Kebab - 3.5/5. The quality of the beef is decent, especially considering the price. Given the cut of meat they use, they've done a commendable job with the grilling. The beef has a solid seasoning base and a nice sear with just enough char to add flavor without becoming overly smoky. It's reasonably tender, though I wish it retained a bit more juiciness. Chicken Shish Kebab - 3.5/5. Very similar to the beef shish kebab. It has good flavor and is grilled well, but it could benefit from being a little juicier. Gyro - 2/5. Unfortunately, this was the biggest disappointment. The gyro meat on the vertical spit often appears to be rotating without enough heat to properly caramelize and crisp the exterior. As a result, the meat comes across as dry, rubbery, and lacking the rich roasted flavor that makes a great gyro. Kunafa (Knafeh) - 3/5. This dessert has both strengths and weaknesses. The cheese filling has a pleasant, slightly salty flavor and a creamy texture, and I appreciate that it isn't overly sweet. However, the syrup is underwhelming. A good kunafa should be generously coated with a fragrant sugar syrup - ideally infused with rose water or orange blossom water - to provide sweetness and aroma. I also wish the kataifi, the shredded pastry dough, were crispier and lighter to create a better contrast with the gooey cheese filling. Overall, Al Hamra Kabob Grill is one of the better places to enjoy Middle Eastern-style grilled dishes in the South Bay. While a few menu items could be improved, the grilled fish stands out as excellent, and the shish kebabs are solid choices. The owner is also incredibly friendly and welcoming, creating a warm, neighborhood atmosphere that keeps customers coming back. It's not perfect, but it's a restaurant I enjoy visiting from time to time and one I'd recommend if you're craving grilled Middle Eastern flavors.

I wanted to follow up my very short review that I wrote about this restaurant over a decade ago as I have continued to frequent this restaurant and I have always enjoyed their food. What they offer here is a really nice selection of Mediterranean-based cuisine. They always use the best ingredients, and the food always arrives with a great presentation. Mostly, the food here tastes very-very good. And, isn't that the right reason you actually go to a restaurant in the first place? This is a family-owned and operated business. From this, you can really tell that everybody who works here really cares about the restaurant and the customers. Thus, it's always a great dining experience. Their menu offers a really nice selection of everything from gyro's to kebabs onto salads and the like. There's a really nice choice of both entrées and side dishes for you to choose from. The one thing I will say about this establishment, and this is certainly not a criticism, but whenever you eat here, they always keep the food coming. Whether it is the pita chips, the pita bread, the whatever, when you leave here you are going to be very-very full. This restaurant is located just off of Hawthorne Boulevard and a block from PCH. Thus, it's very easy to find. In terms of parking they have a parking lot over to one side of the building. You could always find a spot there. They also have a number of spots on the street, in front of the restaurant. This is where I always prefer to park. Easy in, easy out. Overall, if you're looking for some great Mediterranean-based food, this is the place to go. You will not be disappointed.
