Arya Grill — Restaurant in Mountain House

This is not only one of the best Kebabs I’ve had in Tracy, but also one of the best in California. I tried three flavors: beef, lamb, and chicken. The beef and lamb were slightly better. The rice was very special, with two different colors and a great texture. The complimentary bread – a type of Middle Eastern bread, though I’m not sure of its exact name, but it was delicious.

Unfortunately, the server responded rudely, claiming that we were making these requests because we were Afghans and “all of us are like that.” The comment was uncalled for and offensive. The server’s attitude, along with her unfriendly demeanor, made us very uncomfortable. We were a group of 7 people, but after such treatment, none of us ordered anything. We decided to leave instead. Definitely not a place I...
