Ariana Persian Food : Cyberjaya

The first time I tried Persian food was not in Iran but on the way to London onboard of Iran Air, I like their delicacies especially their meat recipes which are light with spices but the taste is good and we could still taste the flavour of Middle Eastern food.

We had the opportunity to try Persian food today at Ariana, Cyberjaya. This resturant is famous among Middle Eastern working in Cyberjaya, they occupied two lots to accomodate big crowd during lunch time.

This is dining area and tea making counter is on the right while food counter is on the other side. The interior does not look much like Middle Eastern restaurant except for their diners..


Ariana's menu book..simple but helpful because they put on photos with description of each menu.

They are many type of beef to choose..I like koobideh kebab, it reminds me of Tehran. Koobideh kebab is made of ground beef

We also tried their Mast O Khiar yogurt..a combination of yogurt and chopped cucumber, flavored with mint..but I think one small bowl is just enough for one person..we also had Garden Salad and Persian Salad..I just love the dressing..I think its yogurt dressing..


When you are in Iran, act like one of them..and when you are in their restaurant..you should ask their special Iranian tea..so we had a big glass of Iranian Tea which is light and so relaxing..I wish I had two glass...hmmm..maybe next time. When we were in Tehran, tea was served with sugar cube and you have to place the cube on your tounge and then you sip the tea slowly...what an interesting tea drinking culture ;)


Garden Salad and Sultani Kebab..I like their rice which come with Persian Rice (light rice with saffron mix and a cube of butter) and the portion is big..
The meat is tender and juicy and the portion is enough for one hungry woman like me who eat a lot lately.. :-O

Maybe next time I will try their Lamb Shank which look yummy with its orange gravy..
