I came here with a large group of friends and the server was so sweet and friendly.. None of us have ever tried Afghani food before and he was very helpful about that. The food was delicious. Every single thing we ordered was perfect. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for great food and very low-key atmosphere.

I ordered the sambusa and kabuli pulao with chicken breast skewer and they were delicious. The pulao was served with chickpea curry and it tasted good. The in-house white sauce was something new for me and tasted good. The only improvement area which I felt was the stuffing in sambusa felt like they were filling it 0.5 tea spoon, a little more stuffing could be more better.

Unbelievably good food. All the meat was so tender.
The host, Wali, is also a pleasure to chat with and kindly walks you through the menu.

This was my second time having lunch at Ariana and I went with three friends—two who are vegetarian and with nut allergies. They have amazing veg options and the owner was so kind and accommodating. The lamb curry was delicious and I loved the white sauce and the two kinds of hot sauce. The Turkish coffees were also so good! We will definitely be back!

FAVE spot for afghani food in the city. 10/10 the owner is fantastic and ask for the off the menu beef chapli kebab its SLAPS.

Came here for Afghan food and had such a great time!! The (gorgeous) owner was incredibly welcoming he truly went above and beyond to make us feel special. He was friendly, attentive, and gave great recommendations without ever being over the top.
We ordered the kofta kabob and a lot of mantu — and I mean A LOT!! The kofta was perfectly seasoned and cooked just right, but the mantu completely stole the show. Soft dumplings packed with flavor, topped with yogurt and sauce… they were so good we literally ordered more and even took a to-go order home!!
It was also my friend’s birthday, and they surprised us with a complimentary dessert, which was such a thoughtful and generous touch. It really made the night feel extra special.
So much good food, amazing hospitality, and such a fun atmosphere. We’ll absolutely be back!! Worth every penny!!
I've been going here for decades because the staff is incredibly nice and the food is amazing. I particularly love the pumpkin curry.

The food here is amazing, absolutely the best. It’s very flavorful and the portions are just right. There has not been a single person where I didn’t recommend this place too. The chicken kabobs are cooked perfectly tender and the rice is so flavorful but not overpowering, there white sauce is *chef's kiss* if you’re thinking about going don’t think just go, you won’t regret it.
