We ordered 2 pizzas and were told it would be ready in 20minutes. When we got there the pizzas were missed and we would have to wait another 20minutes.When we went to pick up the pizzas, the bakery seems to have no concept of a queue or order. While I am waiting to tell the cashier I’m here to pick up, multiple people (from the same culture as this bakery) jumped in front of me. Instead of telling them- wait this guy has been waiting, the cashier just let it happen and ignored me.Missing our order is not a big deal. But, this establishment seems to have no respect for people’s time and don’t seem to want my business as I’m not part of their culture.

Too expensive. Looks and sounds like greedy operators live there. Rather go other places.

Favorite pizza in Kirkland. Yup, it's a bakery, but in the afternoon, they also make delicious pizzas.

This is my kind of place-- a taste of another country without a passport, long flight, or concerns about, ahem, bombs. The young man at the counter was shy, sweet, the older willing to offer suggestions on the best nuts, breads, or pastries. Favorites: I love the raisin cookies. I could eat them all day every day. My mom didn't care for the hint of saffron. The breakfast cookies-- same. Great flatbreads-- tender, chewy, grain-filled. My mom loved that.The marble halva brings me back to Tarver's Delicacies, a favorite childhood find. Jams, teas, kulfi ice cream ( cream, cardamom, pistachio, saffron?)We decided to try their flatbread pizza. We got the Persian and will get it again soon. Yum! Flavorful meats and veg. Familiar, yet exotic. My mom loved it, raved about it, my son, less so. Maybe because the olives?Helpful hint: get a fresh, on the back counter, flatbread and eat it with the eggplant spread from the Euro store across the parking lot. Love it and It was very popular at the last event we attended.Enjoy!Or in Farsi : Noosh-e-ja !

Pizza. A global phenomenon. Loved by many.Absolutely perfected at Aria Food & Bakery in Kirkland, WA? Seems possible.We only ordered a small, plain cheese pizza- it’s the most basic thing and yet… I was shook.We went in casually as we were already right there and thought grabbing some bread would be nice.A divine message reached my brain and had me switch to pizza last minute. Life. Changing.What’s the secret? The bread? The cheese? The sauce I didn’t really detect?It doesn’t matter.All I know is this: I have had pizza in all its variations on every continent except Antarctica and somehow stumbled on THE BEST in my own backyard.The price is steep, yes. I believe $15 for a small.Worth it.Clearly you’re paying for quality.Overall the strip mall is unremarkable, the shop is tiny and basic, the person who helped us was a gem.

Fresh barbari bread in Vancouver, BC sells for $3.50 CAD. These guys are selling barbari for $7.00 USD!!! Highway robbery in plain daylight! I’m never setting foot in this place again! Khalas.

Bread, hummus, and pizza were all great. Especially liked the sangak flatbread and veggie pizza, and the hummus was a lot more potent than the stuff you get in regular grocery stores.

It’s good to find Persian fresh bread but most of time they don’t have or just have cold in the fridge

Absolutely an exceptional place!!!I found this place on a random Google search for bakeries around Kirkland last week. I have been very excited to try and out and finally made my way in today. Oh my goodness such a friendly and wonderful establishment. The Baker was very nice and explained to me what flat brands were fresh today as well as gifted me some of their garlic yogurt sauce to try.When I got home I fried an egg and had flat bread, garlic sauce and egg for breakfast incredibly delicious.

As far as I know this is the only Persian bakery in the Seattle area.And we are lucky to have Aria because they bake flat bread there in the custom oven that sits in the middle of the store so lots of fresh bread every day!!Also you can get pasteries like cream puffs and napoleon and also sandwiches and pizza. This place has so many choices and its all very fresh from the oven!I will be coming in again and again for good food.

Amazing fresh baked bread, GIANT sandwiches that are incredibly delicious and satisfying and a wonderful assortment of other baked goods all at a really reasonable price. The workers were so kind and explained the different varieties of breads and other items they carry. I can’t wait to go back!
