The Kabuli Palaw is a masterpiece, a mix of fluffy rice with sweet bursts of raisins and the earthy crunch of carrots. Accompanying the palaw, the stewed lamb is tender, while the eggplant and spinach dishes are rich with traditional spices. A crisp, fresh salad provides a light and refreshing balance. This array of dishes, along with the warm naan and a trio of dipping sauces, completes a culinary tapestry that captures the essence of Afghanistan's rich flavors.

Hadn't been here in several years. All dishes ordered by our group of four were excellent and the portions generous. The service was very efficient. The dining room could be a bit cozier, but it's a minor "complaint."

I can't believe I just found out about this authentic Afghani restaurant right in my town. It was such a wonderful experience and all of the flavours were so vibrant and warm. Would highly recommend this place! It's in a convenient place on Western Ave and they are open on weekdays until 10 pm! The only thing I would say was that the food was a little on the warm side, and not as hot as I would have liked. Other than that, everything was fantastic.

Our food was excellent, but even more impressive was the exceptional Afghan hospitality!
They accommodated us on a Saturday, and made reservations for us on short notice!
Highly recommend!

I have never tried Afghan cuisine before. I came to this restaurant this Saturday to try it out, and I feel that it is still different from Middle Eastern cuisine, with its own unique flavor. In addition, the restaurant environment is quite good, and the staff are quite friendly.

Absolutely loved the Kofta Kabob and Mourgh Challow! I can't wait to back there and try more of their amazing food!

Truly a hidden gem in the Boston area. Every single dish I’ve ever had here has been amazing. Highly recommend the pumpkin, lamb kabob, eggplant, and even the free bread is to die for. Very nice staff too!

Never had Afghan food before. This was my first experience and it is Ok.
I've been eyeing this restaurant for a while and finally decided to give it a try. I made a reservation, and the host was polite and helped us along the way. The food was served hot, and it tasted good. The entree portion size is perfect for one person and definitely on the expensive side.
+points: Nice host, good ambiance and there have a lot of options for vegetarians. So, vegetarians out there who want to try out Afghan food, check out Ariana.

I had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant recently, and I must say that it was a truly wonderful experience. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting. The service was attentive and friendly, and the food was absolutely exceptional.
One of the standout dishes that I tried was the soup Mashawa. This hearty soup was made with slow-cooked lamb, lentils, and fragrant spices that left me feeling warm and satisfied. The soup had a rich, earthy flavor that was perfectly balanced with a touch of tanginess from the yogurt drizzle on top. It was a perfect start to the meal and definitely worth trying.
Moving on to the entrees, I highly recommend the Tikka Kabob. The beef was marinated to perfection, resulting in a tender and flavorful dish that was cooked to perfection. The spices used in the marinade added a subtle heat that was well-balanced with the smokiness from the grill. Served with fluffy rice and a side of vegetables, this dish was a true delight.
In summary, if you are looking for an exceptional Afghan dining experience, I highly recommend this restaurant!
