Arya Sure!






Arya Persian Restaurant located at the Podium Mall was where I found myself after a strong craving for Biryani rice and curries.

As always, I felt like a queen when there. Their service is impeccable and the food is consistent. I do not however, recommend going to this place alone - portions are good to share and for you to enjoy a variety, be sure to bring the entire family or barkada.

Here's sharing with you some of my favorite items at Arya;


The red meat kebab platter includes grilled beef and lamb items and a choice of roti or rice to go with it. If however, you want a leaner choice, there is the seafood kebab platter as well.


This roti served with tomato curry is a nice starter to the meal. Cut into quarters, dip each piece into the curry sauce for a nice tangy-chili burst of flavor.


The fatoush salad is actually tossed green salad complete with olives and vinaigrette and instead of the usual bread croutons, roti pieces were toasted to give it a distinct crunch.




My favorite - chicken biriani. Cooked in a variety of spices - cardamom, cumin, cinnamon, coriander, cloves, ginger, garlic, onions - it is absolutely delicious. It is simmered slowly thus giving it a melt in your mouth texture, with its meat literally falling off the bone. Perfect with rice!
