Arya Steakhouse

Drove about hour and half to their Palo Alto location. Ordered Cowboy Steak. However, by far one the best Ribeyes steak I have ever had. 5 star for the service and atmosphere.

- They made us wait for five minutes to get our table ready even though we had reservation. When we get inside I noticed so many tables are empty so I assume the whole wait was for prestige?!
- Food was amazing, I have been to several Persian restaurants and their kabobs were amazing.
- Service can be better, I have seen way better service.
Still confused about that unnecessary wait at the beginning🤷🏻‍♂️

As a response to the owner:
When someone has a reservation their table must be ready! Also so many tables were empty so your excuse doesn't make sense.
For a restaurant at your level that's just a bad excuse.
Be better and don't make excuses. I hope I see improvement on my next visit

Absolutely fantastic. I went to STK a couple of weeks ago, and left hungry after paying away too much money. Here, the service, and the STEAK, were outstanding. Can't wait to go again, might just make up an occasion.

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.

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..
