Recently, I have been a bit forgetful. Yet, ironically, it made me realize no matter what I don't forget heartful moments in my life... Dining at Arya Persian Restaurant back when I was still a student is one of those.
Although its been a very long time since I last dined at Arya, I felt a nostalgic feeling.
Food
When I opened the menu, indeed it is similar. The selections and the price looked pretty much how I remembered it especially being expensive. Yes, it used to be one of the most expensive options in Robinson's Place. Yet, somehow I found that quite surprising since after all these years, the price seemed relatively the same. So given the rate of inflation and my financial capacity, I thought it was reasonably priced now.
Starters
♥ Arya Dip Platter (342 php) |
For starters, the Arya Dip Platter with Hummus (chick peas), Motabal (smoked eggplant) and Tziziki (cucumber) is a great option.
Lamb (with pita bread)

♥ Gourmeh Sabzi (497 php) |
The person who treated me this Gourmeh Sabzi for my birthday once taught me a very valuable lesson I will never forget in my entire life when he told me, "Why do you value things based on how much they are priced? Not all things that are expensive are special and vice versa." Since then, the way I value things changed. But, this Gourmeh Sabzi, stew of lamb sauteed in minced coriander leaves, parsley, cilantro and red beans is really good! I'd order it regardless of the price. =p

♥ Arya Sini (698 php) |
The Arya Sini is a mixed of their specialty grills: Mahi (tanigue), Royal Joojeh (chicken breast) , Beef Koobideh (ground beef seasoned with spices) and Beef Shish (tenderloin marinated in yogurt and saffron). While this looks expensive, you can share it for two. But, I wouldn't because I love it.
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
One of my favorite cuisine is Persian. And, I can't think of another restaurant specialising in Persian that can beat Arya. I will surely come back for more.
