Delicious- the set menu provides an array of unique and subtle flavours and textures. Each dish was beautifully presented with excellent commentary from the friendly and attentive waitperson. And the absolute bonus was a completely gluten free selection from the menu chosen by the chef that meant the two coeliacs in our party of four could eat everything! We look forward to our next visit. Thanks!

We had the absolute pleasure of dining at Araliya yesterday, and it was truly fantastic from start to finish. The food was exceptional—every dish was full of flavour, beautifully presented, and clearly made with care and fresh ingredients. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it perfect for both a special occasion or a casual night out. What made the experience even better was the service. The staff were attentive, friendly, and genuinely made us feel looked after without being overbearing. It’s rare to find a place where both the food and service are equally outstanding, but Araliya nailed it. Highly recommend—we’ll definitely be back!
