Aria Persian Cuisine & Turkish Grille — Restaurant in Pittsburgh

Highly recommended! We chose because of its good Google reviews and the fact that it offers both Turkish and Persian cuisine, which made it even more appealing since Persian food is truly delicious. The restaurant doesn’t have a grand entrance and is located on a narrow street with limited parking, but once inside, the atmosphere is very pleasant and clean. The restaurant is impeccably clean, making dining there enjoyable, and the decor is a beautiful blend of modern and Turkish styles.

The service was excellent, and the food was incredibly fresh and delicious. We ordered a variety of Persian dishes, including kebab koobideh, lamb shank, dill rice, chicken kebab, and ghormeh sabzi, all of which were very tasty. Everything was freshly prepared, and the bread was particularly delicious. The waitress who served us was very polite and patient, making our experience even better.

We genuinely hope that the restaurant can expand to a larger space because the high-quality and delicious food deserves a bigger venue. Persian restaurants are rare, so whenever I find one, I always recommend trying Persian food, especially kebab koobideh. Overall, we had a great experience; the restaurant has a lot of potential to grow, and they made the most of their small space by providing a clean environment with good seating and even a restroom.

The most important thing is that the food was high-quality and flavorful. I highly recommend this place and will definitely return. I will recommend it to anyone visiting Pittsburgh because it’s one of those must-visit restaurants. Even though the entrance might not look very impressive, once inside and tasting the delicious food, it’s a truly...

I noticed that I haven't been to very many Turkish places recently. Wanting to change that, I decided to try Turkish Grille tonight with delivery from Uber Eats. I got the kazandibi and the haydari yogurt dip.

The kazandibi was both a huge success and a huge disappointment to me. It was extremely disappointing because it arrived completely jumbled and mixed up. However, this was probably the delivery driver's fault, so I won't blame Turkish Grille for that. What I will deduct stars for is the portion size. This was truly minuscule! For a whopping $7.50, I got kazandibi that was half the size of my palm, and I don't have big hands.

While the portion size was way off in a bad way, the flavor was very good. It tasted a bit like caramel. The texture was great: perfectly silky and all around delicious. It's just not worth it for the portion.

The haydari was also pretty good and came in a fair portion. It's got a very creamy texture; no chunks. You might get little bits of walnuts, but they are pleasant. It's salty and a great dip so can't complain there. The pita bread was just okay. Again, pretty small portion, but not terrible. It didn't have much flavor and I'm not sure if it's homemade or store bought, but it's alright.

All in all, can't recommend this place. At least not for takeout or delivery. The portions are quite small and the prices are too high for what you get. Flavors are there, but it doesn't make up for the lack in portion or...

I am so confused! Aria Persian Cuisines dot com website for this restaurant - Afghan & Iranian Menu - Aria Persian Cuisine - Lamp Gyro Warp .... what? Lamb Gyro Wrap misspelled why? how? who? where? what? when? Chicken Gyro Warp ... what? again? Chay (afghan Tea) ... Afghan is lowercased? what? why? intentionally? :: Turkish Grille Menu - Lamb Shish Kebap ... what? kebap? not kebab or kabob or other spelling with b not p? Lamb Adana Kebap ... hmm... Chicken Kebap ... uhm okay Doner Kebap ... well then! Chicken Adana Kebap ... alrighty then! Iskender Kebap ... but 3 matches for "kebab" show in the descriptions, so which one is the correct spelling? both? maybe both are correct. I don't know. Shrimp Kebap ... egh, my brain Salmon Kebap ... I still have a brain, right? sheer chai afghan (cardamom tea with milk) ... wait, why is this entirely lowercased? I'm so confused! Is this intentional? I know this pattern! I've intentionally lowercased names to signal disrespect and I did it many times, but I don't know if that is the intention here or if accidental or mistake-based. Archive.today and WayBackMachine archived to show what I mean but kudos if ever more than zero humans fix the mistakes, or if they are treated as not mistakes, then that is good to know, even if zero explanation is offered by anyone to say more than zero things related to these language spelling...
