We entered the front door where two young receptionists greeted us and showed us to our seats. Steve the manager took care of us. Steve and his staff were very polite and walked us through the menu. They explained to us where they source their ingredients. This restaurant is a more upscale restaurant. Excellent place for a special date or business client meeting. Good place for a nice family gathering. The menu has two major themes. One is authentic Iranian food and second is American style steaks with premium meat. All the meat is 100 percent halal and they verbally explained that to me and it is clearly written in the menu. The meat quality was excellent. Halal meat steaks have a special taste because most of the blood is completely drained out of the animal thus you can really enjoy the flavor of the meat and you hardly taste the iron flavor from the blood. The cowboy steak had an excellent ring of fat with bone attached. I ordered medium well done so inside was completely juicy and soft and the ring of fat was nicely seared and charred. We also had the koobideh platter with the chicken and beef kebab. Very well done! This restaurant represents the best of America. Iranian family with multicultural staff serving traditional Iranian food with the best quality American steak. This restaurant has a unique product and place that brings everyone to eat. This restaurant is a celebration of the American experiment. I will be back to eat more. Kudos to the Arya team!

Parking lot close by, like behind the restaurant. Nice cozy atmosphere with large selection of drinks. Caesar the bartender is amazing, if you have a small party of 3 or less, sit at the bar, faster seating and you can interact with Caesar, he’s a funny guy and he gives you drinks. The steaks are cooked accurately to your preference, and spreading that roasted garlic is magic. Tried the calamari too, not too shabby, not the best but the sauce helped, I think a plate of the Shishido peppers would be nice. Good steak house around town.

Great food and service. The Tomahawk Steak was fantastic. Kabobs were great and the calamari was tender. Shrimp was dry. Overall experience was fantastic. Jose is a great host! We will definitely be back.

The location was exquisite and well worth the trip! They have reservations, but if you can get in, that's great. Simple but good cuisine alternatives are available on the menu. Excellent setting for a special event; returning soon!

The food was undoubtedly excellent. However, I was pretty surprised when I saw that they charged 20% gratuity and, also for regular water. I found the charge for water to be completely dishonest. I don't have a problem paying for it. However I need to know first what I am paying for. It was nowhere on the menu and the waitress did not tell us that the water was an additional $10. We were 2 people. As far as I have seen on their menu, they charge gratuity for a group of 5 or more. Anyways I don't think it's worth revisiting. I will have chances at other places to get good quality food with better transparency with the charges. The atmosphere was nice but it was very cramped. **I visited on the 24th Dec Saturday. ** Changed my review to star 1 because the water charge was completely dishonest

Finally got the chance to visit this Arya Steak house (Halal). Very nice and clean place inside out. Host was nice and immediately got use seated. We ordered kids the mac and cheese, which was nice. Ordered samosas and meat balls for appetizers. Samosas were good, but meat balls seems be tough and it seems like it was finished in the microwave. I ordered cowboy ribeye medium, it was cooked perfectly and I enjoyed every bit of it. Wife ordered chicken kabab and she enjoyed her dish as well. I will definitely visit again when i am in the area.

Came into SF as an airline crew but have to self isolate at hotel. Been into SF many times but somehow today, chance upon this steakhouse on UberEats.. decided to order the ribeye, truffle fries and chicken BBQ pizza.. must say it was nice.. price-wise quite decent.. I’m sure it would have been nicer if i could have dine there..

We came for lunch around 1pm and there were no crowd on a Monday. Customer service is great. Food taste very good and ambiance is good too. It's a place for special occassion since it's a bit pricey. We just ordered calamari, chicken & beef kabob and bread and already paid a hundred bucks. Well this is located in Palo Alto what do you expect..

Steaks were great and priced as you would expect. Would definitely visit again if I was in the area. Don't normally enjoy sweet potato fries, but enjoyed them here. The rice dish recommended by the waiter was also enjoyable. However, I was a little disappointed by the herbed wild mushroom side dish we ordered.

Enjoyed the majority of the food. The tomahawk steak & potatoes was excellent and cooked to perfection. Staff could be a little more attentive and the atmosphere was ok. Not many patrons when we were there.

We had appointment for dinner and was seated promptly and waited a while for our server to arrive. We thought they forget about us and finally Stephen arrived and he completely surprised us with excellent service. Food are pricey and all meats are halal. They are moving soon to Palo Alto which is much closer for us. Stephen gave a birthday cake for our friend who is celebrating his birthday and visiting from out of country. Highly recommended.

Came here for a late lunch with the hubby and really had no idea what I was in for. Every bite is so delectable! We had the watermelon chiller, bread basket, beet salad, New York steak and baklava. Usually we need a to go box for leftovers but not this time! We enjoyed every savory bite. We will be back. Our server was Caesar and he was super informative, and very friendly! This place will also accommodate families with kids. There’s plenty of seating. Make your resos now!

I can't say enough positive things about this restaurant! The experience is A+ as soon as you step in the door. The restaurant itself of gorgeous and well kept. Very polite and professional staff on every interaction we had. Our server, Michael L., went above and beyond our entire meal. He is knowledgeable about the food and menu, he is outgoing and friendly, and he made our experience absolutely perfect. And the food!! Best meal we have had in a long time. If you are looking for an amazing meal with an amazing atmosphere- look no further.

When I invited my family to the United States, we went to a restaurant. The seafood was incredibly fresh and delicious, and the steaks were large and tender, with a satisfying size. As Japanese, the five of us couldn't finish three steaks because they were too much. They also did a great job celebrating my mom's birthday, and she was very happy. The service from the staff who served our table was excellent, and we were very satisfied!

Tomahawk Steak was really good. Kabobs were great and the calamari was cooked to perfection. Shrimp was dry. Overall experience was fantastic. Jose is a great host! We will definitely be back.

Last week, local colleagues led the way to this Persian restaurant for steak. The group ordered a variety of steaks. The tomahawk steak is truly outstanding, with the fat not being overwhelming. A single portion could easily feed three people if you have a hearty appetite. Although the service is decent, the staff is quite generous when it comes to pouring wine. They opened several bottles of red wine in succession, and there was even one left unfinished, making me wonder if they confirmed the order before opening. This is something to be mindful of.

We went on valentines day. They were only offering fix course meals that day. Appetizers were nice. Then they gave us a Salad Spinach mix with some dressings that's all. The entrée's were okay-ish. I had a New York Steak, it was chewy on the sides. And a bit on the rare side (I asked for Med rare) which i didn't mind. But couldn't finish bcoz it was so chewey. Also weirdly they gave us a normal knife without the jagged edges. But for the price they charged (380$ for 2 ppl) I expected more finesse and fine dining type experience. It was definitely not that.

Everything from the hostess to the waiters and especially the food was definitely a 5 star experience. I appreciated the attention from wait staff while dining, they never missed a beat. Food was exceptional; ordered bone marrow, vege mezze playyer, cowboy steak, chicken kabob, chicken koobideh.

It’s HALAL !!! I am giving it 4 stars because as the name suggests, this place is only for steaks. I ordered Ribeye Steak and it was Aah-mazing!!! I enjoyed it so much that I did not want it to be over :-D I believe all their other steaks are as good as this one. My family doesn’t eat steak so they ordered BBQ Chicken Pizza which was very sweet and the chicken pieces were too big. We also got Arya Burger and it was completely bland; there was no taste in the beef patty. We ordered Falafel for appetizer and tbh, we have had better falafels than these. Their green chutneys were delicious and spicy! The Strawberry and Raspberry Lemonades were tasty and refreshing. Do: Only order Steaks! Don’t: Do not order anything else except Steaks! Pros: Friendly Hostess & Sweet Servers!

Great Service and outstanding delicious food “Compliments to the Chef” Also I have to point out their meat is Halal plus they will accommodate with none alcoholic sauce and several choices of none alcoholic cocktails. We definitely recommend this place A+

My daughter took me there for mother’s day. We ordered the Bone Marrow for starters, it was so buttery wished there was more of it, toast was a bit too hard. It came with a strawberry salad the flavors were tangy and sweet. For our entree, we shared the cowboy ribeye, and sea bass. I requested medium rare but it came out more medium still delicious tho, the portion was good enough to share. Sea bass was wonderfully cooked, melted in my mouth Overall I would come back to try other things on the menu.

Very good value and quality. Persian restaurant with great kabobs and meats. Especially the barg filet mignon kabab combo with chicken or the koobideh combo of chicken and beef skewers. The barg was a bit on the dry side so perhaps a bit more rare would have been perfect for this lean meat. The bone marrow appetizer was flavorful but didn't really do it for me. The calamari appetizer paired with shishito peppers was excellent. Very attentive and excellent service completes it!

Amazing food and amazing service. The owner Chef Mike came out and visited with us and my family and was incredibly kind and welcoming. It was a family members birthday and he was even nice enough to come back with a bottle of Moscato on the house to treat us, highly recommend for a delicious meal and even better hospitality. Merci Chef and staff!!

I went with a group of 11 and several people said this was the greatest steak they've ever had. It's clear they source high quality meat and the cook on the steak was consistently excellent. The other star of the show was the kabob section. I highly recommend getting the lamp or lamp chops. Both were well-seasoned and the meat is juicy. It also comes with some of the best sapphire rice I've eaten in a while. The only negative was that the service was a bit slow and our entrees didn't all come out at once. Otherwise, an excellent experience with a unique menu.

Update: we came here with a large party (including six of my kids!) and had a great time. Our server, Jennifer was very inviting, patient and engaging with the kids. She helped keep the flow going and the kids busy with food for them fired first. It was a truly great experience when we were all expecting to eat well, but for the kids to more or less ruin it 😅 The food this go around was mostly positive. My dads steak was just over and my husbands lamb was under, but not enough to complain. All in all -I’d still highly recommend this restaurant. Oh and get the mezze platter. It doesn’t disappoint. We just celebrated our anniversary here. I would eat here every single day if I could. The service was impeccable. Everyone was attentive and extremely charismatic. The food. Y’all. The fooooooooooodd. 🤤 My (halal!) steak was cooked to perfection and 💯 the best steak I have ever eaten. My husband had the lamb which he also enjoyed. The paella was delightful. I highly recommend the Sambosa which was perfectly crisp and flakey. Oh and the watermelon lemonade was not too sweet nor sour. Long story short this place has been dubbed “our spot” and we will be here every chance we get.

Great steakhouse. The food is yummy. One problem is the secondary server. Seems like he was in hurry and didn't even ask us if we need a to go box for the left over.
