I'll start by saying that I love everything about this restaurant. From the food, the general…read moreatmosphere, and the impeccable service. The owner and staff couldn't be nicer people. They care about their patrons and do everything in their power to make you feel welcome. The decor is simple and uncluttered. Just the right amount of art and adornments, without feeling suffocated. My waiter, Khalil, is a fine gentleman and very personable. He would be welcome at my table anytime. Now for the food: We had the appetizer combo, which consisted of a spinach dish, hummus and pitas, and samosas. Best hummus I've ever had. Spinach was spicy and delicious. Samosa was excellent. For the main course we ordered a kebab platter for 4 people. Three kabobs of your choice, served with white or green (dill) rice. The kabobs here are the best I've ever had (I've been here many times, but this is my first review). This is one of my favorite restaurants in the five boroughs. Check it out. You won't be disappointed.

I placed a pickup order through Uber for the four-person family combo. When I arrived, I had to…read morewait about 10 minutes at the counter before anyone came to assist me. After receiving the order, I asked why the green sauce--commonly included as a side with this type of meal--was missing. The employee at the counter told me they had run out. However, I noticed that there was a bottle of the same green sauce on every table in the restaurant, which made the explanation confusing and frustrating. Another concern was that the restaurant refused to accept credit or debit card payments. In 2026, declining standard electronic payment methods creates unnecessary inconvenience for customers. Unfortunately, the food quality also did not meet expectations. The lamb chops were very small and appeared dry and overcooked. Overall, the portion sizes and quality did not justify the price. Based on this experience, I would recommend that customers consider other nearby options. In my experience, Shirazi Kebab offers larger portions in their family meals and the food quality has been noticeably better.

This is a relatively new restaurant serving Afghan cuisine. I believe the area has a lot of Indian…read moreChinese, Indian and Bangladeshi cuisine so this is a nice change. I came in to see if I could just get some kebab's for take out but ended up feeling more adventurous on this nice day. I got chicken tandoori. Each entree comes with white or brown basmati rice, salad, homemade bread, and a side of either okra stew, pea and potato stew, lamb stew, spinach stew or curry chicken stew. As a lamb fan, I choose lamb stew. My friend had a kabob combo of chicken and beef kabobs with a salad and homemade bread. I soooo wanted to love this place since the prices didn't seem to be too high. At 7.99/meal, it was a good deal until I saw the food in the takeout containers. Jamaicans and Dominicans in the area only charge like $5 for the same amount of food but give a lot more meat, sauce, and side (plaintains). In a standard 3 section takeout box, 2/3 was filled with just rice and my tandoori in a little portion in one. It was not that flavorful and a little dry. The rice was good but how hard is rice? I love the lemon in the salad though for its freshness and loud "crisp". But following the same train of thought, how hard is salad? My friend's food was a little better. His bread was laid under the kabobs so flavor drained into it. My bread was light and buttery though but I just liked his better. His kabobs were not on sticks so I don't know how there kabobs but that's what they called them. My biggest complaint has to be the quality of meat. The stew was well seasoned but the lamb in it was so fatty I felt like I was eating pork. After a while, I had to keep looking to see if I was eating a lamb or beef kabob because the texture was so off for either really. I wanted to like this food so much more since the service was so good and they were sooo friendly. Usually when my guy friend and I walk in to non-black restaurants the servers are a little taken back (he's a giant haitian boxer) but here they were very friendly and helpful in food info. and helping us order. Overall, I would probably try a few more spots in the area before settling on one but If I didn't want anything else I would get a kabob or two.

We were on the prowl for some Afghan food and came across a Pamir which was relatively closer, and…read moreit seemed cheaper in comparison to our normal Afghan spot, Kabul. While perusing the menu trying to figure out what we were going to order I went back and forth between the combos. I looked at their combos to see if there was anything that could feed a family of two, but everything was geared towards a family of four and more. The combos are ridiculously priced. You'd think you were buying a few catering trays. We ultimately settled on two orders of the Two Chicken Tikka and the Chicken Samosas. I asked for extra white sauce and Pamir did not oblige. I didn't care for the samosas, nor the chicken tikka meal. My husband liked it. He also preferred the white sauce from here instead of Kabul's. While the food was decent it doesn't compare to Kabul. It was a solid 3.5. I was really taken aback by the size of the chicken kebabs and the portions we received. The kebabs were extremely small. There wasn't enough for any leftovers.

The waiter was super nice and gave us recommendations so we ended up ordering the beef sambosa, the kabuli palow with chicken, the kebab combination ii, and the okra.

The okra was delicious and paired well with the rice. The kabuli palow had raisins and pistachios in the rice that was really delicious and added a nice sweet and savory element. The meats for the kebab combination were all delicious, spiced, and juicy. The waiter also gave us chickpeas which were so flavorful and would definitely recommend! Such a great place and even better service! Will be back soon!

Maybe we've been spoiled by our favorite restaurant back in St. Louis (Afghan Kabob House) but Ariana's was underwhelming. The server was friendly but the food was just ok. Pricey due to the location as expected but also underwhelming taste wise. We got the aushak, mantu, and kadoo bolanee (pumpkin curry with bread). All three surprisingly looked very similar (photos look almost identical as they had the same sauce drizzled with yogurt). The aushak has leeks inside while the mantu has beef. The beef was drier than we were used to and the aushak less flavorful with overpowering onion. The pumpkin was cooked in what looked like the same sauce as well but the baked bread it came with was good. They did offer complimentary chickpeas which were tastier however. Maybe other items on the menu would've been better picks!

The first time we ordered the following and all the dishes were to die for: Sambrosa - fried dumpling with seasoned beef, lamb, herbs and spices Bolani Sabzi - fried turnover with spinach, herbs, and spices Chicken Qourma - tender chicken with mixed vegetables, onions, tomatoes, green peppers, herbs, and spices with rice, bread and salad Firni - pudding topped with crushed pistachios The second time we ordered the following: Bolani Kachalou - fried turnover with potatoes, herbs, and spices Lamb Shank Kabuli - tender lamb shank with Afghan rice, carrots and raisins Spinach Sabzi - spinach cooked with chickpeas, garlic, onions, tomatoes, green peppers, herbs and spices The lamb shank was to die for and the bone marrow tasted so good. Today my other half was in the mood for lamb so I ordered the lamb shank kabuli again along with the chef combo which consisted of lamb chop, lamb tikka, chicken and fish over rice. The chef combo is probably my least favorite because it's more rice than meats. The meats provided were pretty much a tasting instead of a full kebab (e.g. chicken and fish). One of these days we will visit the restaurant in person.

The food was okay, and it was safe to say it came with a lot of food this combo.

The kofta was pretty good, a lot of flavor, small size. The salad it came with, looked so sad. A few pieces of lettuce, carrots and cucumber, that thing couldn't feed half a person.

Kabul Kabab offers the most delectable, flavorful, and cost-effective family meal in the area. The combo #1 or #2 is more than enough to feed a family of 4-6 and it has great value. A combo comes with salad, onions/grilled tomatoes, 2-4 skewers if your choice (depending on which one you get) and a whole STEAMER TRAY of delicious rice. Pro tip: the lamb kebab is always worth the extra $3 or so and the brown rice is the winner in our home (brown rice = more flavorful + more fiber = winwin!) Please do give this place a try if you're in the area and need to feed at least 3-4 mouths--the people there are so nice and the food is amazing--would give 30/10 stars if I could!

I overheard Rafi explaining to the other table and folks that got takeout that it would be an extra charge, but he could customize their orders, which I thought was nice that he was very transparent with them upfront and willing to work with the customer so that they could order the items that they want. I also appreciated him explaining to my friend that Turkish coffee comes with sugar and not milk and clarifying if she was OK with that before he made the coffee. We were given free firnee.
