“I currently live in Tennessee, where it is nearly impossible to find authentic Afghan food. That is why, every time I travel to New York, one of my first stops is Balkh Kabab House Afghan Chai Khana. This restaurant is not just about food—though the dishes are always delicious, fresh, and authentically prepared. What makes it truly extraordinary is the way it embodies the heart of Afghan culture: hospitality. From the moment you walk in, you are welcomed with warmth and kindness. Here, you don’t feel like a customer; you feel like part of the family. For me, this place is very special. It’s more than a restaurant—it’s a home away from home.“

“We were celebrating a family birthday with a party of 11. From my first call to discuss the event, Wally was solicitous and helpful. He accommodated all our needs and preferences, creating a lovely table for us and serving us himself. The food was delicious and plentiful as well as reasonably priced. Wally even packed up our leftovers and kept them until we could pick them up later in the day! The location on 9th avenue between 52 and 53 was great for getting to our Broadway matinee easily. We can't recommend Ariana's highly enough.“

“I’ve been coming here for several years, possibly since they opened and all I have to say is: THE BEST FALAFEL SANDWICHES in NYC.
Ingredients are always fresh and though I keep meaning to try something else, their falafels are too good that I always get the same thing. The fries that come with the falafel sandwich meal are just lovely and their kicker sauce is chefs kiss.“

“The food here competes with the very best spots. The meals demonstrate evident superiority. The staff showed consistent table awareness. The design choices here are refreshingly unique. Really happy with my meal. I can't wait to return for other menu items.“

“Really good food amazing service“

“An absolutely wonderful Afghan dining experience! The food was rich in flavor, beautifully spiced, and clearly made with care and tradition. The kabobs were tender and juicy, the rice was fragrant and fluffy, and the portions were generous. Everything tasted fresh and homemade, just like a traditional Afghan meal. The service was kind and welcoming, making the whole experience even more enjoyable.“

“Tucked away in the corner of the lot and not that visible from the road but man they make some delicious halal food. We got platters, chicken nuggets and salad and it was all so damn delicious.

Their prices are very fair given the high quality if their food it's like restaurant grade in my opinion. They have a vast menu and something for everyone. Convenient parking lot right outside. Come and try them out you'll be glad you did.“
