Just stuck with some tried and true favourites, but came with some friends who hadn't tried it before. The huge slab of piping hot bread definitely raised their eyebrows just as it had done for us when we came in previously. I suggested we all share a small order of the Mixed Plate appetizer, so we did that and there was still plenty left over for me to bring home. My favourite dip in the Mixed Plate is the Babaghannush. I love it so much that I decided to have a separate order of Babaghannush as my main entree! My daughter ordered her beloved Cheese Lovers Pide again, while our friends ordered their own Cheese Lovers Pide as well as a Greek Salad and an order of the Lamb Chops. This is a great place to introduce people to Turkish food.

No other concern other than the road noise. We were a party of three - 2 adults and one 5-year old toddler. We ordered 4 things - 1. Mantu - very good but expensive for 4 dumplings 2, Chicken Shami Kebab - Comes with super soft buttery naan bread, Melt in the mouth kebabs and possibly the best kebab of my life. My son loved it and primarily ate most of it. 3. Uzbeki Palaw - Very good but the rice to meat ratio could be disappointing. 4. One cocktail and it was very good, very ethnically inspired. Everything was amazing. Portion sizes are small and we finished everything. Our server was so warm and advised visiting during brunch hours the next time to enjoy more kebabs given we likes it the best. Other tips! 1. Service is fairly quick. We were in and out within the hour. 2. There is street parking but finding a spot may still be challenging at any point. There is parking in the building but when we visited, the entrance to it was not working. 3. Reservations are highly recommended for weekends to be seated inside which is very chic and upscale. 4. Menu is pretty kid friendly food and none of the food was remotely spicy.

But I wouldn't get it again next time Urfa kebab - this was my favourite. The beef is super flavourful and soft. I love both rices in all of the dishes. The bread was also strangely addicting. Would DEFINITELY recommend this dish Lamb sis kebab - the lamb wasn't super lamby which is good for people who are scared of the lamb flavoyr. It was a bit chewy and dry. Wouldn't get it again Fish salmon kebab - too dry but I liked the smokiness to it Mix doner on rice - the meats were both really dry. Wouldn't get it again Service - food came fast and they checked on us multiple times Atmosphere - lots of people kept coming in and out but it wasn't loud at all. They started live music at around 7pm. Overall I felt like the food was okay. It's great for big groups as they have huge tables. The price was also a very cost efficient

I can be sometimes skeptical of chicken because it might be served tough but Aria makes it tender and succulent every time. The kebab platters come with a generous quantity of rice, which is great. However, some of the appetizers could be a bit bigger for how much they cost, such as the eggplant or the bolani. The only reason I'm not giving this place a five star is because a lot of their prices are over inflated.

There are a good variety of pork dishes but I ordered a steak. It was bacon wrapped and within the steak was oozing cheese. The steak was seasoned perfectly.

It also came with a basket of fried potatoes and a side of cucumbers and tomatoes dipped slightly in vinegar and salt. The service was attentive and on point giving recommendations based on my taste pallette. The dining area was small, maybe enough for a total of 30 people dining max at one time. The ambiance was very quiet, enough to talk and converse without having to raise your voice. Lots of wall art depicting either famous people or places from Serbia. I noticed several Nikola Tesla pictures. A destination to totally visit and wisk you away to the food joys of Serbia. Side note: in the men's bathroom, the walls are plastered with praise to Novak Djokavic (one of tennis legends) and Nikola Jokic (a current legend in basketball).
