Came here to celebrate a birthday and lucked out with the best table in the house! We were seated next to an open window with the perfect breeze and great people-watching. This was my first time trying Persian food and I loved it! Everything was full of flavor, the meats were cooked perfectly, and the desserts were beautiful. The ambiance was warm and authentic, but the service really stood out. Everyone was so attentive, even if they weren't our server. Such a great experience and definitely somewhere I'd come back to! read more

Whenever I'm in the mood for a halal steak , Arya Steakhouse is one of my favorite places to go. The food is always really good and the customer service is excellent. I also like that they offer both halal and regular meat, so it's a great place to go with family or friends. My favorite is the dry-aged ribeye. It's always cooked well and has a lot of flavor. The atmosphere is also really nice and inviting. Definitely one of my go-to spots when I'm craving a good steak! read more

Arya Steakhouse - Filet Mignon 8oz French Fries - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Palo Alto, California

Love to try out new steakhouses when I get the chance and Labor Day was the perfect chance to try something new. [[ Parking ]] I personally think parking is pretty difficult in general in the downtown Palo Alto Area. It's near an indoor parking area (first 2 floors are non-permit parking), outside parking lot, and lots of street parking. However, when we went almost everything was full. I luckily one open street parking spot and luckily my car is super compact and I was able to squeeze in. I probably would be more stressed if I were driving a large SUV or large sedan. [[ Restaurant / Service ]] I thought the restaurant was pretty beautiful inside and in a good location (corner side). They have plenty of seats that look outside and also a ton of indoor seating in case you want more privacy. - One con was that we were seating in a I guess a "bad booth"? It was in the corner and the padding seemed to have sunken in so I had pretty bad support the whole meal. I got use to at the end but next time I'll just choose a chair. Service was really good. Our server checked in frequently, filled our waters, and was relatively attentive. No complaints here. [[ Food ]] I thought the presentation was beautiful for each dish and there was some standout things: 1.) The complimentary bread had delicious butter and mint/cilantro sauce(?) Not 100% sure but it tasted really good. Unlimited bread too as we gobbled up the first round pretty quickly. 2.) If you get a steak (which I hope you do), I love the little flamethrower presentation when they melt the butter on top of your steak. I thought that was a nice "wow" touch for the dining experience. 3.) I really enjoyed the crab cakes and thought the balance of taste and cook was on the spot and gave a really strong start to the rest of the meal. The okay things: 1.) Surprisingly the steaks were just okay in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, they taste good but I wasn't blown away by either the filet mignon or the dry-aged rib eye. It's solid steaks but nothing too memorable. 2.) The sides in my opinion were a let down. The Mac & Cheese was SOO watery. I took a picture of how much liquid was after getting through the top layer. I wish it was more melted/gooey-ness cheese rather than the watery consistency. The truffle fries were alright but my wife wish it had more truffle taste. [[ Conclusion ]] Great business place to get food as well as a nice dine-out experience. It's a solid place. read more

Delicious food, great service. The restaurant is beautiful. Our waiter was so attentive, standing near. He brought me a purse stand after seeing it on my knee. I came for a business lunch on a Friday. It was not busy which was cool so it was pleasant to talk with the table. We got lots of sides, appetizers and steak of course. I wish I ordered medium on the filet because it was a bit too overcooked. read more

Great service -- promptly seated and allowed us to dine and talk until closing. Did not rush us at all. Food was great. Good proportions. Calamari was amazing. I got the filet mignon-- only gripe was that it was more rare than medium rare. Otherwise very tender and flavorful. read more

Arya Steakhouse - Filet Mignon 8oz - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Palo Alto, California

Celebrated an anniversary here and our server Jennifer was amazing! She was engaging and pleasant and really tried to make our anniversary extra special. The inside of the restaurant was warm, bright, and inviting. There weren't many patrons as we got there right when it opened. For a steak house we really went for it and ordered more than two can eat! Along with the lamp chops we went with the tomahawk and the meats were cooked perfectly. For appetizers we had oysters and the bone marrow and toast. The dessert we decided on - the baklava cheesecake - was decadent and rich. It was a great end to an epic meal. read more

Perfect place if you want quality meat that's also halal! Service was super friendly and extremely attentive, getting more silverware or water before we even knew we needed it. The mezza and calamari were great starters. I got the hibiscus zero proof cocktail that hit all my sweet tooth spots while still being refreshing. The main stars were the steaks (obviously). The filet Mignon was the right amount of soft with powerful flavor. The ribeye was my personal fav and the butter component on top sealed the deal. Mac n cheese side was okay though I feel like it was missing a stronger cheese profile. The twice baked potato was a hit and very flavorful. Recommend this place whether you want something with the family or a cute date night. read more

I came here for dinner, and I really enjoyed my meal. I had the herbed bone marrow to start. It came with little crackers and a salad. The salad was really fresh and cut through the richness of the bone marrow. For my main, I had the filet mignon with a side of spinach. My steak was cooked perfectly. I also liked the head of roasted garlic! The spinach was nice and garlicky too. I just wish they had dessert menus. Service was good. read more

Had a great experience at Arya Steakhouse! The ribeye was full of flavor and the mac and cheese was delicious as well.

I ordered ubereats. There is obviously statements of 2 chicken Koobideh for each order. So I ordered 3 chicken koobidehs which suppose to come in 6 skewers of chicken Koobideh. I also order 1 beef Koobideh. Waited 55 minutes. Not enough foods for my sister and I. This is false menu and deception. Where are 3 other chicken koobidehs? read more

Arya Steakhouse - 2 chicken skewers of each chicken Koobideh? But only got 3 out of 6 skewers of chicken Koobideh. I'm very sad and hungry still. - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Palo Alto, California

This is an amazing steakhouse that I never knew existed. Ambience was great. Service was fantastic and the food was delicious. Not much more to say. The tomahawk was enough to feed three people with moderate appetites (but if you're an athlete you could probably finish the tomahawk by yourself). Highly recommend this place and will definitely be taking friends and family here. read more

Enjoyed both the excellent Persian cuisine and warm ambiance, but our particular server's repeated attempts to upsell us on additional dishes was slightly off-putting... As it was, the portions were quite hearty, yielding abundant leftovers for our party of 2. Our picks: Appetizers - Mast o Khiar (yogurt & cucumber dip) - Grilled Octopus Entrees - Chicken & Beef Kabob Combo (boneless chicken, beef koobideh, grilled tomato) - for an upcharge, we substituted Persian "Shirazi" Salad (tomato, persian cucumber, onion, lemon dressing) for the basmati & saffron rice that usually accompanies this dish - Ghormeh Sabzi (herb, beef, dried limes, kidney beans, rice) Dessert - Dubai Cheesecake - Turkish Coffee read more

I've been here several times now, including for anniversaries and birthdays, and they're always so thoughtful. They even leave a little card for special occasions, which is such a sweet touch. After a few more visits over the past two years, here's an update on some of the dishes we've tried: Starters & Sides - Ash Reshteh: Good, but it felt like a milder version of the sabzi with noodles. I'd recommend getting the sabzi instead. - Bread Basket: They've made the basket a little smaller and there are fewer bread choices now, but the chutney and butter are still really good. - Garlic Mash: Delicious, buttery, and incredibly soft. It can be a little too rich if you're ordering several other dishes for the table, though. - Baghali Polo: A bit too dry with a pretty heavy dill flavor. - Crab Cake: Flaky and good, but it's only one crab cake for $25 and didn't feel like it was worth the price - Raspberry Crush (drink): Delicious! - Indigo Bloom (drink): Delicious! Steaks (all steaks come served with garlic butter (that they torch right there and then), salt flakes, and potatoes) - Bone-In NY: Pretty good -- chewy, meaty, and satisfying. - Cowboy: Not bad, but definitely not as good as some of the other steaks. - Filet Mignon: Absolutely incredible. Probably the best thing I've ever had in my entire life. - Ribeye: Very good and incredibly soft. Overall, I'm still looking forward to coming back and trying more things from the menu. After several visits, there are definitely some standout dishes, and the thoughtful service for special occasions makes the experience even better! read more

Arya Steakhouse feels like one of those hidden gems you're glad you discovered. It's more low-key compared to bigger steakhouse chains, but the quality absolutely holds its own. The steaks were cooked perfectly -- tender, flavorful, and exactly how we asked. You can tell they focus on doing the basics really well, without overcomplicating things. What stood out to me most was the atmosphere. It's elegant but not overly formal, which makes it perfect for both date nights and relaxed dinners. Service was warm and attentive, and the staff made sure everything flowed smoothly throughout the meal. Overall, if you're looking for a high-quality steakhouse in Palo Alto without the overwhelming crowd or hype, Arya is definitely worth trying. read more

First time here as it was recommended by a friend of mine. The service was great and we were greeted as soon as we walk through the door. It our first nice dinner date with our 8 month old daughter and my anxiety was through the roof. But they led us into a separate dining area which was equally as nice and much more secluded/ quiet which we actually loved. We got the bread service, and that was awesome. It was baked fresh and super delicious. I got the dry aged ribeye and my lady got the regular ribeye and they were cooked to perfection. For sides it does come with roasted potatoes, but we added mac and cheese, and mashed potatoes. The drinks were really great as well. For Those that have a young one/kids, this was a really great spot to go to. Also, it's worth noting that we came in at 530/545p so I think that's a good sweet spot before it gets really busy. read more

Arya is a Persian steakhouse, and we were curious in checking this place out while we were in the area. Their menu is pretty extensive, offering apps, soups, salads, burgers, kabobs, steaks, and even Persian entrees/stews. Our group came here for dinner, making reservations in advance, and were seated promptly. We ordered the Arya's Seafood Tower, which was more like a build-your-own type of a situation - we opted for the crab legs, the lobster and the shrimp cocktail, and the oysters; presentation was impressive, and the seafood was fresh. We also shared some apps for the table, including the Pistachio Meatballs (in a pomegranate sauce), the Hummus, Sambosas (filled with potatoes and veggies), Borani Bademjan, falafel, and the Sweet & Sour Shrimp (sauteed in a sweet and sour chili sauce; this was a bit too sweet). I stuck with their steak options, going for the Dry Aged Ribeye, which was 14 oz; this was seasoned in their house steak seasoning, and served with roasted potatoes, herb butter sauce, and roasted garlic; I did add the garlic butter shrimp as an 'enhancement' and did request for more roasted garlic (because, you can't have too much garlic!). Staff and service was kind and friendly, and they checked upon our group throughout our dining experience; there was no issue in getting refills, adding more apps/drinks, and getting the check. The restaurant itself is more of a comfortable vibe, and the seating was comfortable. +Persian steakhouse +friendly service +great for large groups read more

Two months ago, we had a disappointing experience at Arya during our son's birthday celebration. We shared our honest feedback and we were genuinely impressed by how the co-owner, Fera, and the Manager, Mehdi, responded. Rather than dismissing our concerns, they took our feedback to heart and extended an invitation to return--one we decided to accept. Last night, we had dinner at Arya and it was the event of the day for my wife and me. From the moment we arrived, the entire team--from the receptionists to our server Serdar and the support staff--treated us as honored guests. Every interaction felt warm and genuine. The food was exceptional. We started with a mezze platter featuring delicious spreads, pastries, and felafel, followed by a mixed green salad that showcased some of the best burrata we've ever had, topped with tiny, sweet berries. Our main courses were equally memorable: a stunning Fesenjoon pomegranate-walnut chicken stew with a perfect balance of slightly sweet and tart, and a side of basmati rice studded with almonds, pistachios, berries, and orange peel. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, unique, and delicious. But what truly made the evening special was the service and genuine hospitality. Serdar, our server, was remarkably warm and attentive. We had fascinating conversations with him about his world travels, the uniqueness of Persian cuisine, and his recommendations for authentic Turkish breakfast and dinner spots (he's half Greek and half Turkish, which made his recommendations all the more authentic and personal). Mehdi introduced himself during the meal and checked in on us with a genuine interest in our experience, not just as a manager, but as someone who truly cares. When we mentioned we had no room for dessert, Mehdi surprised us with a beautifully presented pistachio-saffron ice cream served in an ornate bowl made of ice--a perfect final touch that felt like a work of art. This visit demonstrated that Arya is a restaurant that listens, cares, and delivers on its promise to provide not just excellent food, but genuine hospitality. We left feeling valued and delighted. read more

Our experience here definitely was outstanding from start to finish. Parking usually is not a hassle as there are a couple of parking lots that can be used depending on the time of the day, for parking needs. Richard was our host, and he was absolutely amazing, attentive, knowledgeable, and perfectly paced throughout the evening, making sure everything flowed smoothly. We started with a side of vegetables that turned out to be vibrant, colorful, and beautifully prepared. Each vegetable tasted fresh and well-seasoned, making it a standout side rather than an afterthought. We ordered the Ash Soup (Aash Reshteh) along with that and it definitely was comforting, hearty, and full of depth. Warm, flavorful, and made with care exactly what you want in a traditional Persian soup. Ready to eat some steak, we ordered the Dry-Aged Ribeye . The presentation was stunning, and the steak itself was cooked to perfection rich, tender, and packed with flavor. Every bite was fresh, juicy, and deeply satisfying. Along with that we also ordered Fesenjoon, beautifully balanced with its signature sweet-and-tangy notes, tasting rich, fresh, and incredibly comforting. The ambiance was awesome and it definitely was elegant yet welcoming, making it a great spot for a special lunch/dinner/meal or a relaxed upscale evening. Exceptional food, thoughtful presentation, warm ambiance, and Richard's fantastic service definitely made for a memorable dining experience. read more

Started off with the pomegranate meatballs and it was super rich and meaty. I would get it again! We got the filet mignon and kebab combo. The filet mignon was life changing and perfect, and definitely stole the show, but the kebabs weren't fatty as I normally like it. Ended the night with a complimentary anniversary dessert! I would love to try more of their steak! Service was friendly and very attentive. read more

Lovely local steakhouse that took my reservations on the same day! I read the reviews and I was very excited to experience the spin on their menu. As we walked in the door, the host and several others greeted us kindly. I was with one colleague and waiting for my clients to arrive. They seated us anyway which I really appreciated! The space was very nice and the temperature in the restaurant and ambiance were perfect. We enjoyed a cocktail as we waited and a few nice chats with staff as they brought us water and drinks. When everyone arrive the food started to come and so did the great Willamette Valley Pinot we ordered! The service was outstanding and so were all our dishes. From steaks to more regional dishes, everyone was impressed. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Arya Steakhouse - My team - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Palo Alto, California

This review is based mostly on the dish that I ordered. I had the ghormeh sabzi, which is a very typical Iranian dish. I have to say that it was just OK -- it lacked salt, which did help when added. It was served with saffron rice, which was good. It was also served with a piece of tahdig, which was almost too crunchy, hard to bite -- not like I've had before. For the rice, I expected better. I'll tell you what it lacked -- a richness and depth of beef flavor that I want in any beef dish. No, I'm not Persian but I've had ghormeh sabzi elsewhere and I've made it myself. This place is a "Persian steakhouse." So maybe if I'd ordered a steak I would have been more impressed. On the plus side: the atmosphere was warm and inviting and the staff was great -- especially the bartender who served me. read more

I stopped by on a weekday for their lunch. They had a lunch menu, which was 3 course for $36. That was excellent value. Everything I had tasted authentic and was flavorful. Borani bademjan was my favorite appetizer. That was mashed eggplant, and was super flavorful. Sambosa was my other appetizer and that was excellent as well. Fesenjoon stew was rich and flavorful. That was a new kind of taste for me and I liked it. Braised lamb shank was my other entree. Lamb was cooked tender. Soup base was thin and flavorful. Persian ice cream was an interesting kind of ice cream to try. It was good. Baklava was my other dessert, and it came with a scoop of ice cream. That was a nice dessert as well. Overall lunch special is really good value. read more

Arya Steakhouse has a beautiful ambiance, and we enjoyed the appetizers, especially the yogurt and eggplant borani. The kabob Barg was also good. Unfortunately, the kabob Koobideh was overly salty and did not have the quality or flavor we expected, especially compared with other Persian restaurant in the Bay Area. The chicken (Joojeh kabob) was dry, the rice did not taste fresh, and the service was very slow despite the restaurant not being busy. We also had to remind our server several times about items we needed. Given the higher prices, we expected a much better overall dining experience. read more

Since we had a great time during our last visit, I brought my mom for her first time and she loved it! She's a picky eater but absolutely enjoyed everything about our dinner and our experience. Everything we had here was great, esp their grilled octopus starter. Very soft and not rubbery like usual octopus. The main highlight was the tomahawk steak cooked perfectly medium rare. They always do a sweet gesture of bringing out the whole steak for some pics before they take it back to cut. Camera always eats first lol thank you guys!! Best steak and pretty much on the same tier as Fleming's steak (another of my faves) and it's nice they give you so many dressings and sauce add ons to throw on top but the steak itself is literal perfection. Staff is very warm and service is nothing short of excellent. I say that truly because they saw it was my mom's birthday and every little gesture made her so happy! A small note, a pretty birthday dessert. We always have a lovely time. Thank you guys :) read more

Thank you to our server Jennifer for the wonderful introduction to their menu and welcoming us to Arya. This dinner was such a special way to celebrate my 26th birthday. I couldn't be more grateful for your kindness and the incredible food! We started with the Zereshk Polo, it was absolutely delicious! The Steak Tartare And the Herbed Bone Marrow! It was served with salad and bread, deliciously warm and flavorful! I could eat that everyday! We ordered the cowboy rib eye and the aged rib eye enhanced with the garlic butter shrimp! The shrimp were wonderful, plump, and full of flavor! As was the steak... it was incredible! I spread the garlic from the cowboy rib eye over it. Side of the garlic mashed potatoes! Our choice of wine for the evening was based on us wanting to steer away from a red so we could both enjoy a Chardonnay. We ordered the Patz & Hall Chardonnay bottle and it paired well with all of our meals!! Thank you again for a memorable dinner! read more

Arya just earned the award of my new favorite restaurant in DTPA! That's a high bar, and in all areas it delivers. The location is right on University with great indoor, outdoor, and private room seating. The ceilings and ambiance are designed to promote conversation. There's no high walled cacophony here. Their steaks and Persian food are delicious. Why is my mouth watering even writing this description? The desserts are playful. We had our ice cream served in an ice sculptured bowl. The staff are helpful and welcoming. Hat tip to Edwin. We hope to see him again. read more

Service was top notch. Apps: We tried the mezze platter and bread basket upon recommendation from the server; I wasn't very hungry or in the mood for appetizers, but these ended up being some of the best parts of the meal. Entrees: the filet mignon was good. Everyone agreed the boneless chicken kebabs were amazing. I wasn't expecting much for chicken kebabs, but these spice and not too juicy + not too dry texture was perfect for me. Dessert: the pistachio ice cream with rose water and saffron was heavy on the rose water. It tasted like a rose water ice cream with pistachio nuts studded throughout. Drinks: we tried the guava mocktail, the passionfruit mocktail (very tropical), the strawberry thyme cooler and watermelon fresca (both refreshing and not too sweet), and sun dried lime sparkler (very sweet). The ambiance was like a lively steakhouse. read more

We came back this restaurant since we were in the neighborhood. Once again the food was delicious. We tried some of their other options and were very pleased.

We wanted to take our daughter to a nice dinner while visiting her at Stanford and give her a break from dorm food. I found this restaurant was close to campus and offered a nice variety of options for our family. Food 4/5: we ordered an assortment of items, including the Caesar salad, the mushroom soup, the Wagyu burger, the salmon, the bread basket, and the shrimp appetizer. Everything was presented beautifully and tasted amazing. Service 5/5: from the moment we checked in and we brought to our table the service was top-notch. Granted we were there at 5 PM and only the second table seated, however, as the restaurant filled up while we were there, we noticed each table had several servers attending to them. Excellent excellent service! Vibe 5/5: I loved the ambience with the music in the background and the decor - plus everything was absolutely spotless, including the bathrooms. Tips: if you cannot find street parking, there is a free parking garage directly behind the restaurant. There are also 3 tables outside on the street nicely tucked into private alcoves. And I noticed several private rooms for large parties and events. I am making a mental note already! read more

Arya Steakhouse never misses -- this place has officially earned a spot in my monthly rotation, and for good reason. On my most recent visit, I went with the 14oz ribeye and wow... perfectly cooked, well-seasoned, and full of flavor. For the price point, the quality is impressive -- it easily competes with higher-end spots without the markup. It comes with roasted potatoes by default (solid choice), but do yourself a favor and try the mashed potatoes too. Creamy, buttery, and dangerously addictive. Service? Immaculate. The staff here nails that sweet spot between attentive and relaxed -- you're never rushed, but you're never waiting. It's clear they care about hospitality, not just table turnover. Pro tip: Don't sleep on the mango margarita. It's not pictured here (you'll have to trust me), but it's worth ordering -- refreshing, slightly tropical, and balances sweet and tart like a pro. Whether you're celebrating something or going on a date night to a solid steak night, Arya delivers every time. Highly recommend. read more

Jessica and Matthew, thank you for the best hospitality and service experience for our 3 July Birthday Babies! Our party had a very memorable time and the food was so delicious! Long Story: Reserved a table for a party of 12! I always come early only because I always hate traffic and being late, so my partner his friend and I arrive literally an hour early. I'm very thankful that they let us sit early because it was hot outside and thankful to the staff that they shared it's typically not busy so it was fine. THANK YOUUUU!!! They also stored our cake in the BOH. Honestly, they were so accommodating that it was already 5 stars for me from the get go. Food and presentation was just, nom nom, YUM YUM! My top rated: The Borani Bademjan 5/5 - almost like a baba ghanoush type of appetizer. It actually ended up being my number 1 fave. I'm not a fan of eggplant whatsoever but when I tried this, I fell in love. The 48 oz Tomahawk 10/5 - literally the best steak I've ever had in the Bay Area. My friends also loved it! It was cooked perfectly and just melted in your mouth. My friends even said it tasted better than their meals. Grilled Octopus 5/5 - not sure why it's not on the online menu, but if I remember correctly it was probably a special. So tender and not overly chewy. Lamb Rack 10/5 star - bruh, loved this. I still love my Tomahawk more, but the flavor profile was amazing. Not games whatsoever and cooked to perfection! I make plans to come back sooooo, Jessica don't forget about me! read more
