The service was great! Food was amazing. Forgot to take a picture of the food.. I had the Lamb Shank. The host was super amazing!! Loved the vibe in there too. I was there on November 13th, in the morning. I’d love to go back…

Even though Ariana is small, don’t let that deter you from coming in to a wonderful and homey atmosphere. The owner is so lovely and full of energy, and the food is AMAZING. I’ve been there twice now and I have left extremely satisfied both times.
The kabuli palow with any of the koftas is delicious. Vegetarian options are available! Definitely a great place to check out :)

It was my first time trying afghan food and everything was delicious! Our server (maybe the owner) was very welcoming and friendly. Interior was tight but cozy and hot tea after the meal was nice before heading out into the cold.

My go to take out spot for Afghan / kabobs. I've never had a bad meal here. I even got my parents hooked on this place, as they frequently request we order from here! Highly recommend this spot to anyone for fantastic food.

This place is amazing. I have never been here before and didn’t know what to get, but the guy took care of me. He asked me if I like chicken, beef, or lamb. I told him chicken, and then he said he got me. Later on, I got an amazing chicken dish, and I loved it. I don’t even know what’s it’s called. Great place, food was amazing. Coming back again.

Walid is such an exceptional host here who makes you feel like family as soon you walk through the door. The food is incredible and really authentic. This business is 35 years old and the elevated taste and experience is really unmatched! We will definitely be back 🤗

I was pleasantly surprised to really love every dish that we ordered here! The waiter was friendly and efficient. The atmosphere is casual, comfortable, and welcoming. Highly recommend the beef sambosas, Badenjan Buranee, Kabuli Palow with Tandoori Chicken, and firnee for dessert!
