    Aria serves up Mediterranean/Middle Eastern eats, and their menu includes sandwiches and wraps, entrees, side dishes, and desserts. We came here for an early dinner, and based on their website, they were supposed to open at 3 PM on a Saturday; however, the 'Open' sign wasn't turned on and the door was closed. When we finally walked in, there seems to be a sense of being overwhelmed and being confused from the staff; not sure if they have never hosted a larger party, or if they were debating whether to officially state that they were open for business? We did see a party of 3 already dining in, which was odd. We ordered: +a Salmon Kabob Sandwich - it's a pita sandwich with grilled chunks of marinated salmon +a Chicken Kabob Sandwich - it's a pita sandwich with chunks of marinated chicken +a Chicken Kabob entree - comes with basmati rice, a grilled tomato, tzatziki sauce, pita, and a choice of cucumber or a Greek salad; the 'Greek Salad' is actually tabouleh, so we opted for the cucumber salad; the tomato wasn't even grilled and was just half of a raw tomato; the chicken, while some overcooked, others were RAW (please see photos); rice was not flavorful at all +a Chicken Curry entree - comes with basmati rice, a grilled tomato, tzatziki sauce, pita, and a choice of cucumber or a Greek salad; the 'Greek Salad' is actually tabouleh, so we opted for the cucumber salad; the chicken curry had an off-putting odor to it; the chicken itself seemed to be white meat and shredded, but super overdry; sauce seemed similar to a chana masala that's heavily tomato-based We did let the staff know about the raw chicken, but it wasn't addressed. When you sit down, a pita basket with hummus is provided; the pita was very warm, and the hummus, while more on the bland side, was a good starter; I just wished someone was available to refill the pita and/or the dip. Service was a bit nonexistent, and it was hard trying to request correct order of drinks, extra silverware, plates, etc. Overall, this was just not a good experience. Metered street parking and lot is available. +RAW chicken served +nonexistent service +metered street parking available

    A tiny Mediterranean restaurant with amazing food. Such friendly staff and reasonable prices. I loved the hummus and we had a delicious meal outside on the terrace.

    Delicious lamb patties- platter. Sorry I ate it before I took the pic. Big portions!

    One word- Fabulous! Picked up a platter at their Bryn Mawr Farmers market stand. Lamb patties, yellow rice, cauliflower/chick peas and okra. I've been looking a for a middle eastern restaurant Afghan or Persian . Not sure of the exact cuisine her but it is absolutely delicious. Reminds me of my friends Moms cooking - growing up in DC . I'm looking forward to going to the market again to get a platter. They also had pre-prepared cold containers of falafel, tabouule and other dishes to go. The restaurant people were so friendly. Please come back to the market. I will come to your restaurant too.

    Lamb curry, hummus and pita , basmati rice, grilled tomato.

    Unsure why the few mediocre reviews for Aria exist . I will attribute those reviews to the entitled and sometimes affluent nature of most of those who go to the college. Aria is just off the main drag and its next to the Co-op food store. If you are here looking for a downtown, 5 star (Stephen comes to mind) type of experience you've come to the wrong place. And Yea, they could improve the decor but then the price would go up ! You enter through an area that can be crowded because of the large takeout business they have. Once you are seated the food can't be beat and it is super cheap for not only Mediterranean but for this area- Swarthmore. Last night I was served pita and fresh hummus before my entree of Lamb curry which came with a side of Taboula. All for $9.99. There was enough to take home for a second meal . This is the 4th or 5th time I've been there and I can say the service is good, the food good and cheap . I've never had a bad meal here.

    Mixed kabob platter. Chicken, lamb, beef

    Excellent customer service! Beyond excellent food! We made a special order to try a few different kabobs and they all will be ordered again. Flavorful, fresh, and more than enough for two people. Both the corn salad and cucumber salad that came on the side were also delicious by themselves. They're understaffed but that didn't hold them back from perfection! Will eagerly be ordering from them again in the very near future!

    Hubby and I stopped off here for lunch, after I had seen a lot of videos online from influencers,…read morethought, "why not?". We both ordered the lamb and chicken over rice, naan and a side order of stuffed grape leaves, 2 sodas. Food was good, but more rice than meat. It was lunch time so very busy, we sat by the door since seating at tables were full, but it wasn't bad. We ate for a while and enjoyed it, but we took the rest home. It does a brisk business and the prices are average so it's a good deal.

    I am not sure what happened ... the Royal Grill 37 was a regular take out location whenever we…read morevisited our daughter because they offered non-meat options and really really good food. Well, I always went for the chicken because I don't need to worry about non-meat options but the food was always really really good. One other consistency was the service! The team at Royal Grill 37, which always seems to be busy, is ALWAYS customer-focused and friendly!! For some reason it has been awhile since my daughter suggested Royal Grill 37 and I didn't know why but there are lots of options for take-out in the area but I was going to be in the area by myself and I wanted something good to eat so I called Royal Grill 37 and ordered my favorite. Chicken over Rice with extra white sauce. I walked into the small storefront restaurant that gave off a nice positive energy. Yes, I felt very welcome and that friendly team was friendly just like they always have been. They handed me the 'heavy bag' because you always get a lot of food at Royal Grill 37. But when I opened the container to enjoy my solo dinner it was ugh ... the food was not tasty and the amount of chicken was minimal on top of a big pile of rice. The side salad was ok. But it really didn't taste very good ... yes, I know I could add the tasty white sauce but that would merely hide the fact that the chicken wasn't very good. When I talked to my daughter later she said that they had stopped going there because the taste just wasn't what it used to be. Not sure what happened .... GREAT SERVICE ... LOTS OF FOOD ... REASONABLE PRICE ... but ugh, I don't think I will go back.
