The taste was awful and the people serving over. There are very rude and disrespectful plus the prices are sky high.

Extremely cozy little place. Food is fantastic, but I have to give a special shoutout to the owner, who will immediately make you feel like an old friend welcoming you to his home. It’s hard not to leave with a smile on your face, but that aside, everything is delicious. The Kabuli Palow is a big highlight.

Wonderful experience here. The Afghan food and hospitality we experienced was not like other places in Manhattan. The gentleman who served was patient and polite and answered all our questions regarding the menu options. The beef kabob was marinated to perfection. We even got the mantu beef dumplings that was 10/10 but forgot to take a picture. Everything was hot fresh and delicious!!!! This place has beautiful Afghan artifacts too, tells history and very cozy eatery. We will be coming back :)

Lamb shank was falling off the bone. Best I’ve ever had. Green tea after hit the spot.

I rarely eat out but when i do, i go to Ariana. Walid is the best and his food is even better. This will surely be the most tender chicken you ever ate.

Excellent food, service and environment. I came here last night with 10 friends and they did a great job accommodating my large group. The staff was friendly and helpful with food suggestions and very accommodating of food restrictions of one guest. We had a very diverse meal and every dish was very tasty!

This is an absolute hidden gem - the Tika kabob with Kabuli polo is amazing! The food is homemade, authentic, and it is truly a family kitchen dining experience. The hospitality is phenomenal. This place feels like a warm hug - I travel to come here every few months because I can’t stop thinking about it! The white sauce is DRINKABLE!!
Absolutely phenomenal! I traveled all the way from DC just to try Ariana Afghan Kebob, and it was so worth the trip. The food was incredibly delicious — bursting with authentic flavor, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to perfection. You can taste the care and tradition in every bite.
The restaurant at 787 Ninth Ave, New York, NY 10019 is warm, welcoming, and full of amazing aromas the moment you walk in. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better.
If you’re anywhere near NYC — or even if you’re not — Ariana Afghan Kebob is 100% worth the journey. I can’t wait to come back!
One of the most memorable NYC dining experiences. Family like service , welcoming and warm, And the cooking was like your grandmother’s legendary best dishes made with love.

OMG! A friend familiar with the area took us to dinner. Atmosphere was amazing, food was even better. Wife had the lamb, I had the tandoori chicken.
