Amazing food! Loved the Yellowtail Jalapeño Sashini. Miso Cod- delicious. Still craving it! Wagyu - so good. I got two ounces - wish I had ordered 3!! The spicy tuna roll- shocking good for a seemingly simple dish. Gracious service. Will definitely go back.

Valentine’s Day menu was delicious from start to finish. Our server was good, could have been a bit more attentive. He forgot to give me a rose at the start of my dinner. I had to ask for it at the end of our dinner which made me feel a little left out because I saw tables around me getting their rose as they were being seated. I was a little shy to ask for it but I asked the lovely lady who picked up our plates and she apologized on the servers behalf. Other than that small detail, I really enjoyed my first experience at Arya. Me and my partner got the filet minion and New York steak, AMAZING. The hostess were very polite. We arrived early and they offered us a seat at the bar while we waited.. we don’t drink so we just took a seat on the benches at the main entrance, but we truly appreciated the kind gesture. My partner and I will definitely be back to try the regular menu soon. Thank you Arya for a great Valentine’s Day dinner experience.

Excellent selection of authentic Turkish dishes, well executed and delivered with beautiful simplicity. Very gracious but efficient and professional and attentive service. Ambiance is lively and we loved the Turkish music at a level that still allowed for conversation at the table. Really enjoyed our evening and will be back!

We recently dined at this wonderful gem in Palo Alto and had an unforgettable experience! As a party of two, we kicked off our evening with the Xinomavro wine and a refreshing Kickstarter cocktail. To our delight, the chef sent out a small corn soup as a complimentary starter, which was absolutely delightful. For appetizers, we ordered the tarama and keftedakia. Each bite was perfect, and we were happily enjoying them alongside our drinks. We also had the Greek salad and saganaki, the latter of which was flamed right at our table — a fun and impressive touch! The staff was friendly, professional, and very meticulous, taking the time to explain the ingredients of each dish. Our server, Andres, took exceptional care of us and ensured our experience was nothing short of perfect. A big thank you to him for making our evening special! For the main course, I opted for the Psaraki whole fish, and my guest had the Mousakka. Both dishes were exceptional and absolutely worth trying! The portion sizes are thoughtfully designed so you can enjoy a variety of flavors from the menu. This restaurant provides a top-tier dining experience that suits any budget. It’s truly a hidden gem in Palo Alto, and we can’t recommend it enough. We will definitely be back!

Evvia is one of my favorite all time restaurants. The food is consistently excellent and the service impeccable. Favorite dishes include the spreads, the Evvia salad, Greek salad, avgolemono soup, anything with lamb and the whole fish. The pasta never disappoints and if you want a hearty dish their moussaka is the very best outside Greece.
