Arya Persian Restaurant

Thanks to Bulgin and Lils for telling us about this place!!  If only it were not so far away from Makati…we would be here more often.  Whenever there is a Persian restaurant, I always want to try. Thanks to my regular eating partner, Brenda, we had lunch here a few weeks ago.  Yummy! Wow! I am so glad they had this dish that had a mixture of all the dips.  We got to try all – tatziki, hummus, motabal and misa kazemi. Goes well with any bread- pita, naan, toasted papad, etc. or with the kebabs. And then there is the 2 kinds of sauce on top of the table – Garlic sauce and a tomato based sauce which is spicy.  Of course, the true test is always the kebabs!  We had the lamb and the beef.  And it was really good!  And not to forget the homemade french fries to go with it.  The rice was interesting because the plain rice was mixed with yellow rice on top.
And this was something we have never seen and tried before.  The waiter got our grilled tomato from the platter and started removing the skin then he added salt and pepper and the yummy garlic sauce that comes on the table. Add a little of the spicy tomato sauce for a little spice or more if you want it spicy.   After which he mashed the tomatoes and then it becomes like a sauce.  He said to eat it with the kebabs!!!! YUMMY!!! If you have a good garlic sauce you can make – then you can make this at home easily also.  For me, a good garlic sauce is also secret to good kebabs! And they usually come on the table already and you can put as much as you like.
