Arya!

No, this is not from Cesar Montano's movie. Arya is basically a Persian Restaurant. So, Yes! Kebab. Kebab. Kebab. Expect the taste of pepper, herbs and spices which i don't know what they're actually called because i don't cook but i am very much proud to say i just know how to eat a lot. 

We have planned several times to try this restaurant but it was only now when we finally did it. We just wanted to taste all kinds of delicacies. We usually enjoy Mexican food or pasta. So for a change in scenery as well, we tried Mediterranean this time. 

Kabab Combination: Ghafghazi skewers of Beef Shish and Royal Joojeh Kabab

Mourgh Donar Kabab shredded chicken in vegetables wrapped in Pita bread served with french fries and salad. 

This restaurant is an 8 out of 10. I appreciated the taste. And if you really like herbs and spices, the chicken is muy bien!  The sandwich is very juicy. You know what most people say when it's so good, you can feel like having it's flavor burst into you mouth.  You can tell that the meat is very fresh. Even without eating rice, we were too full to finish the fries and salad. I even had the other half of my sandwich for take out. 

We went there on a Sunday afternoon so only a few people were there. There are two Arya Restaurants in Robinson's Manila and we tried the one outside. Well, it was very spacious and their staff are all courteous. And they put lemons on their water!

Maybe I just expected too much just like how i expected too much from the The Dark Knight Rises. Dark Knight part 3 was well crafted but the part 2 (the one with Joker) was just way better. I know there are some loop holes to my argument but i'm not going to spill what it is. Point is, although it's very delicious, as compared to other restaurant we enjoy, it's not something you would keep coming back to. I think it lacks some wow factor considering it being pricey. Well, we haven't tried the rest of the menu, so maybe someday, we will go back there. Overall, it was a nice experience.

We were not actually feeling well that day because we still have hang over from a night out with friends. We really think our judgment might be biased or it could have been a little different if we weren't groggy. ;)
