Aria Restaurant

Some of the best Persian food in SD! They serve delicious juicy kebabs, but they also have traditional stews. We got the koobideh lunch special (ground beef), which comes w/ salad, & we upgraded to sour cherry rice (albaloo polo). Also got abgoosht/dizi, which is a chickpea & lamb stew that you separate the juices out to eat as soup with pieces of bread, then mash the meat & veg together and make little wraps with flat bread. So good!

currently serving polo sabzi with white fish for Nowruz!

The quality is always so consistently good here. I've never had a dried out kebab no matter which meat I choose here, and I love all their traditional Persian options.

A hidden gem for great authentic Persian food! Absolutely love their kabob plate and it's a good portion of food and always consistently taste great. They also have beer and wine, really good traditional and authentic Iranian food and desserts. I've been here with family at least a dozen times and it's always so good! Usually not very crowded either which is nice.

Aria's is a gem! My solo dining experience was wonderful, starting with a warm welcome and a clean, comfortable booth. The food was a standout—huge portions bursting with rich, authentic flavors. A must-try for any fan of Persian and Mediterranean cuisine.
