    Chicken and Beef Koobideh
    Roy L.

    Aria's easily deserves a 5-star rating. The food is simply outstanding. If you're looking for Persian/Middle Eastern/Mediterranean, this is the spot to visit. You know the food is going to be good when the restaurant is busy on a Thursday week night. We got there around 7pm on a Thursday, and all the tables were taken up by what looked like locals and regulars. That's a great sign. The restaurant itself is very clean and on the smaller side. There are less than 10 tables. The chicken and beef koobideh is outstanding. The meat is incredibly tender and flavorful. The rice is cooked to perfection. And the charred tomato and onion add a nice grill taste to the food. We also ordered the Mizra Ghasemi appetizer and it was absolutely delicious. It's smoky garlic tomato eggplant dip. We'd come back in a heartbeat.

    We came here after my boyfriend's friend from S.P. highly recommended this place. We walked in and were met by Alma and her husband, the owners. We were seated, and we asked for appetizer suggestions. She was so nice and helpful, she recommended Mirza Ghasemi, tomato eggplant, and Shiraz Salad for appetizers. Both were so delicious. For the main dish, we had Beef Shish Kabob; the fillet mignon was tender, and the basmati rice was soft and fluffy and delicious, and the Beef Barg was just as good. The Tea was good. After dinner, you have to try their dessert, wow, delicious. Highly recommend this small but delicious Food. I have to point out that Arias Grill was much better than O.S on 2nd St in L.B. Of course, I can't write the full name, but you know which one. Plenty of parking.

    Combo #1 The Favorites

    From the moment I walked in, I was impressed. The ambiance is spacious, inviting, and smells amazing as soon as you enter. I was greeted with a warm smile, which immediately made me feel welcome. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. Everyone worked together to assist us from start to finish, and they were very helpful when it came to answering questions and helping us order. When the food arrived, it was steaming hot and absolutely delicious. Every dish was perfectly seasoned--no extra spices, sauces, salt, or pepper needed. The flavors spoke for themselves! This was honestly some of the best food I've had in South Bay. The combination of great service, wonderful atmosphere, and outstanding food made for an amazing experience. I can't wait to come back!

    Chicken and beef koobideh.  Aka heaven on a plate.

    Hands down my favorite spot in the south bay!! The portions are easily enough for two people, but honestly I could finish the whole thing myself...I'm not even a leftovers person, but I actually dream about eating my Aria's the next day, it's that good lol. I used to always get Lebanese food when I worked in Hollywood, and after I left I couldn't find anything in the South Bay that compared. Then I tried Aria's. I know it's not Lebanese, but it definitely hits that same craving for really good middle eastern food. Don't overthink it...just order from Aria's. You won't be disappointed. 100/10 recommend!!!!

    It's my 6-7th time coming here and this place never disappoints! Food still taste amazing with friendly service and clean environment.

    Absolutely delicious food and service is so kind. I ordered 2 lunch specials with an extra kabob and he packed them family style. I love having so much rice! Would love to come back and dine in person. The kabobs were so tender and flavorful. Definitely come try this place.

    This cute restaurant is located in a busy plaza and a bit hidden but its very cozy and clean inside. As I walked in to order my meal I couldn't help but look at all the diners' food and they all looked delicious. Their menu has a variety to choose from, many options! I ordered the chicken and beef koobideh. The portion is quite massive. It came with a pack of pita bread but no hummus or anything to dip the pita bread in. Having pita without hummus or a dip is a bit odd but next time ill order a side of hummus, no biggie. I also like how they provide a quarter of a raw onion because I love onion. I will definitely come back and try more dishes. Thank you Aria!

    Beef and Chicken Koobideh so good and juicy!

    This place is the real deal best persian kabob spot in the south bay. Forget about other places that are not even authentic Persian kabob places, they are usually greek or indian style kabobs with herbs and different additives. Persian style is the best because the meat itself is the star of the show, juicy and flavorful. I got the beef and chicken koobideh which was spectacular! Both juicy, fresh and flavorful. The basmati rice is fluffy. The tomato is roasted perfection. It all melds together into a symphony of bliss. Its high restaurant grade quality. The place is clean and the staff is extremely friendly. Will be back here for my kabob fix every time!

    The best Mediterranean food in town, everything is delicious and freshly made. This is a family owned business, the real deal. Not only is dine in and take out good, my friends and I have ordered their food for a couple of parties and it was a hit! Portions are generous and the food is high quality. I love the chicken tender kabob. My friends love the Cornish game hen and chicken koobideh. The meals come with rice and a roasted tomato and onion. The owners are friendly and accommodating to dietary restrictions.

    Beef Soltani
    Randy M.

    Well GDang! I have been craving some Mediterranean and have been kinda disappointed by some of the local South Bay offerings. I've tried a handful of places, some in Gardena, Torrance, Redondo... I used to always go to Panini Grill in the OC or Irvine Grill. As I finished ordering the beef soltani, a lady with her daughter were picking up a take out order. I decided to go wait in my car since it's cook to order which was about 20 minutes. I held the door for them on the way out and she tells me, "this is the best Mediterranean in the South Bay." Lady, YOU DID NOT LIE! Serving size for price is good. If not eating like I was starving, it was probably enough for three servings. The meat was so tender,not needing a knife to slice. The cashier and server were super nice as well. This is going to be my go to for sure!

    We tried Aria's Grill for the first time and really enjoyed it! It's a small Persian spot in the Harbor Gateway area, not far from Torrance. It's in a busy little strip mall where most of the parking is limited to 30 minutes, so just a heads up. The lady working there--she was both the hostess and our server--was super friendly, welcoming, and really made us feel at home. We started with the Tahdig (crispy rice) and Maast-o-Khiar (yogurt with cucumbers), and both were really good. For mains, we had the Cornish chicken with basmati rice and grilled tomatoes. The chicken was juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right--we loved it! We also ordered the grilled lamb chops and beef shish kabob, and we specifically asked for both to be cooked medium rare. We even said if that wasn't possible, we'd order something else. The lamb chops came out perfect--tender, well-seasoned, and cooked just how we asked. But the beef kabob was more medium well. To her credit, our server was super apologetic. She told us she had communicated our request but figured the kitchen may have gotten busy and overcooked it. She offered to take it off the check and invited us back to try again--which we really appreciated. Even with that small hiccup, everything we tried was delicious, and the service was great. We'll definitely be back to try more!

    Came here on a whim after my girlfriend wouldn't stop talking about this place, and honestly? She was right. Got the comb platter for me and my girlfriend and we were not disappointed. The beef was literally melting in our mouths -- like you could tell it had been cooking low and slow, no chewiness whatsoever. And the rice?? Fluffy, perfectly seasoned, not mushy at all which is honestly hard to find.

    Beef and Chicken combo with Bob's special butter sauce!!
    Joy D.

    Grateful that this Persian gem is in my Torrance/South Bay backyard!! Bob the owner was warm and welcoming! I had the chicken and beef kabob with rice and salad. The meat is juicy and flavorful! Prices are reasonable. They have a lunch menu that's good on the weekends too. Enough table seats and comfortable environment. We will be back!!

Instead, it tasted like too much yogurt had been used in the marinade to make the meat tender. It was very disappointing. I won't be wasting my money there again.

I dropped by on a Saturday afternoon, where a few other patrons were already dining. The seating has around 6 or so tables inside that can fit around 4 each, and they also have high chairs for children! I ordered a number 17, which is the gyro, and got a side of hummus and pita then found a table to sit at. I had just finished buckling my child into the high chair when my order was delivered to my table! They are super fast here! The super friendly waiter delivered my meal, and I dug in. The gyro was stuffed with meat! This is a huge deal, since a lot of places skimp and don't give enough. So extra points to Al Hamra for a job well done. The flavor of the meat was juicy and well seasoned, super delish! The hummus and pita was good, although I usually add a bit of spices to my hummus so this one was a little plainer than I'm used to. Either way, it was a nice addition to the meal. The grand finale were the desserts! I usually go for baklava, but decided to try the knafeh, a layered cheese dessert with syrup and pistachios. Get the knafeh! The warm cheese and syrup were so delicious and made for the perfect ending to a good meal! I will definitely be back, the food was super tasty, and the people working there were friendly and helpful. Thanks for the happiness, Al Hamra!

Honestly, the highlight for me was the warm pita served with garlic mayo, so much better than the cold or room-temperature pitas you often get at otherMediterranean spots. We also shared dessert, the kulfi cheesecake, and left completely stuffed. Al Hamra is a cozy family-run restaurant with just a few tables, but the food makes it well worth it. I'll definitely rotate between this spot and Chicken Maison for future visits.

Nestled in Riviera Village just a few blocks from the beach, Turquoise is the kind of neighborhood gem you hope never changes. This isn't your typical Greek takeout spot. Everything is made with premium ingredients, no seed oils, fragrant saffron, and an obvious passion for authentic Mediterranean cooking. We always start with their fresh-brewed green iced tea and hummus with crisp crudité. Their panini-pressed sandwiches are fantastic, and the house-made yogurt and chili sauces are so good you'll end up putting them on everything. And the lamb kebab? Hands down the best I've ever had, perfectly seasoned, incredibly tender, and something I crave long after we leave. What keeps us coming back, though, is Hameed, the owner. From the moment you walk in, he treats you like family. You can tell how deeply he cares about his guests, his staff, and every detail of the restaurant. That kind of genuine hospitality is rare these days, and it's a big part of what makes Turquoise so special. Whether you're looking for a date night, a relaxed family dinner, lunch after the beach, or a place where your dog is just as welcome as you are, Turquoise delivers every time. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the restaurant is always spotless, and the service is consistently exceptional. As someone who loves discovering great food, I can honestly say Turquoise is one of the South Bay's hidden gems. Seven years later, it's still the first place we recommend to friends and the one we find ourselves coming back to again and again. Do yourself a favor and give it a try. I have a feeling you'll become a regular too. Thanks for reading.

I wanted to follow up my very short review that I wrote about this restaurant over a decade ago as I have continued to frequent this restaurant and I have always enjoyed their food. What they offer here is a really nice selection of Mediterranean-based cuisine. They always use the best ingredients, and the food always arrives with a great presentation. Mostly, the food here tastes very-very good. And, isn't that the right reason you actually go to a restaurant in the first place? This is a family-owned and operated business. From this, you can really tell that everybody who works here really cares about the restaurant and the customers. Thus, it's always a great dining experience. Their menu offers a really nice selection of everything from gyro's to kebabs onto salads and the like. There's a really nice choice of both entrées and side dishes for you to choose from. The one thing I will say about this establishment, and this is certainly not a criticism, but whenever you eat here, they always keep the food coming. Whether it is the pita chips, the pita bread, the whatever, when you leave here you are going to be very-very full. This restaurant is located just off of Hawthorne Boulevard and a block from PCH. Thus, it's very easy to find. In terms of parking they have a parking lot over to one side of the building. You could always find a spot there. They also have a number of spots on the street, in front of the restaurant. This is where I always prefer to park. Easy in, easy out. Overall, if you're looking for some great Mediterranean-based food, this is the place to go. You will not be disappointed.

    Food was great, a bit different than other Middle Eastern places but delicious…read more Service was outstanding, from the nicest owner to the staff. We ordered the lunch specials, the steak kabobs. I ordered extra salad instead of the rice. The baklava was delicious! It's a very welcoming atmosphere, almost feels like you are a guest at a nicely decorated house.
