    Found this gem in downtown PA. The meal was excellent! We tried the sweet and sour shrimp and hummus for starters. The cucumber and tomato salad was delicious- very flavorful. We shared the halibut special and ribeye. Both were excellent choices. The presentation and recommendation of how to eat the ribeye (roasted garlic, salt, and butter) - two thumbs up!!!

    This is my 4th or 5th time at Arya and they continue to give you impeccable service (thank you to our fabulous server, Michael) and delicious food. I also love that it’s not a noisy restaurant. We were celebrating a birthday and brought a cake that Michael brought to the table with candles and then cut and served it to us. We will be back!
