About

Cuisine Arya serves traditional South Indian dishes characterized by deep, authentic spices and careful preparation. The kitchen creates crispy dosas and light, fluffy idli alongside savory vadas and aromatic biryani that capture the essence of home-style cooking. Every plate relies on fresh ingredients to build complex layers of flavor throughout the menu. The preparations prioritize genuine, traditional textures and tastes, maintaining a focus on simple and honest food profiles. While the current recipes deliver a distinct and bold profile, there is an ongoing movement toward minimizing artificial coloring to let the natural colors of the spices shine through. This establishment provides a straightforward and reliable connection to the heart of South Indian heritage through its diverse, well-spiced, and aromatic offerings.

The south indian platter was fresh & delicious. My husband ate chicken biryani which also was pretty good. The owner was very welcome & suggested local places we can explore.

Today had Chicken 65 Biryani & Veg kothu paratha at Cuisine Aarya & food is very good. The service was quick, i got served within five mins of ordering. Wonderful staff & extremely great service. I would love to go back & try more.

Extremely disappointing. I ordered 5 chicken kothu rotis & one mutton one, also asked for it to be very spicy (repeated this 3 times & it was the worst kothu roti ever. It literally tasted like boiled dough & meat. It was even missing salt!!! Though I asked for it to be spicy 3 times, I don't think I saw a single green chili in there. It was the palest kothu roti I've ever seen. We also got the chicken rolls which were mostly potatoes with a dash of chicken & obviously overpriced. Would never order again, literally the worst (also expensive). Could find wayyy better for a fraction of the price

I went there on march 5. I spent almost 21 dollars & ended up taking a few bites & throwing the rest once I got home. I ordered the chicken 65. It tasted very bad.

The guy working there doesn't speak good english so it is hard for him to give details about the menu. I wanted chicken biryani, it was not available.

Also, some creepy man came up behind me. I dont know if he wanted to harass me or steal something from me but I felt someone behind me & the worker was just watching & did not care or say anything. I got scared. I did not feel safe.

I do not recommend this place !!

The chicken biryani is great but could use more oil. The atmosphere is as good as you will get in a Peel metro.

I called up Cuisine Arya at 9:00am yesterday, as soon as they opened, as I needed to urgently place a lunch catering order for my office of 10 people. Emmanuel picked up right away & was so incredibly helpful. He helped me adjust my order to stay within our budget. We ordered biryani, butter chicken, white rice, & a vegetable curry, & the restaurant had the food ready in 1 hour!! It was delicious & fresh. I also highly recommend Cuisine Arya's South Indian specialties like dosa & idli. It's all delicious.
