Came with my friend, we were blown away by the beauty of the restaurant. It gives you sophisticated and authentic vibes. Which correlates to the food. I order the lamb kebab plate, the was fresh, tender and moist. My friend ordered the shrimp plate. It was cooked just right and seasoned with garlic and herbs. We got to try the ice cream and churros. They were so good!! If you are looking for a new place to try, I definitely recommend it. Thank you to our waiter for recommending my friend and I what to drink–the margaritas had a kick to it. I’m definitely coming back with my family and friends. Thank you Aria’s Kitchen!!

We ordered the bone marrow dish as an appetizer and it was delicious. The food and the presentation were top notch.

We visited this fusion restaurant for my retirement celebration, and it exceeded our expectations in many ways. The establishment had an upscale feel while maintaining a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere, perfect for a special occasion. We started with a couple of appetizers—delicious samosas and taquitos—which were served promptly along with our drinks. A nice touch was the complimentary endless chips and salsa. While the chips were fairly standard, the salsa, though mild, had a good depth of flavor. Our entrées took a bit longer to arrive, but since we weren’t in a hurry, it wasn’t an issue. When the food did come, it was worth the wait. The portion sizes were generous, and every dish was well-prepared and thoroughly enjoyed by our group. I ordered the Aria Chicken, which came with basmati rice and a fresh side salad. The chicken was perfectly tender and juicy, the rice was light and fluffy, and the salad added a refreshing, crisp contrast. The evening's highlight was the lively atmosphere, with a DJ playing Persian music that added to the festive mood. Being a Friday night, the place was vibrant but not overwhelming, and we stayed for about 3.5 hours, thoroughly enjoying ourselves. Overall, the combination of great food, attentive service, and a fun, welcoming atmosphere made for an excellent experience. For the quality of food and ambiance, the pricing was reasonable. I’d definitely recommend this spot for both special occasions and casual nights out!

Aria Kitchen was amazing! The bone marrow starter was so rich and tasty, and the lamb koobideh with salad was perfectly tender and flavorful. The chicken combo with rice hit the spot—definitely coming back for more!

My favourite place! Been here three times and can’t wait to come back! Amazing food and impeccable service. Had a chance to meet one of the owners and he was the nicest man and came by to everyone to check if everything was going well! The food is just so fresh and delicious! Honestly I recommend this restaurant to everyone I know and everyone who has gone loves it!

One hell of a staff, we were treated wonderfully by the waitress. She heard that it was our son’s birthday weeks ago and she went out of her way to make it a special occasion for him. Would happily come here again.

Exceptional Food and Service at Aria Kitchen I recently dined at Aria Kitchen, and it was a fantastic experience. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. What really stood out was the amazing customer service. Bobby, the manager, went above and beyond to ensure we had a perfect evening. It's rare to find such genuine hospitality in California, and Aria Kitchen excels in both food and service. Highly recommended!

I should’ve known that a Mexican/Iranian restaurant would be incredible! I brought my family and picky eating kids here and they loved it! We got the Aria platter which made perfect leftovers for the entire weekend. The Ice Cream churro was much better than I expected as it was cream filled! I was concerned the fusion would dilute the authentic Iranian flavors but I couldn’t be more wrong. The Iranian food and Ash soup were spot on! Aria will definitely become our staple OC restaurant!
