a plate of rice and a bowl of tomato sauce
Caroline Z.

Butter Chicken, Lamb Curry, Chapli Kebab, Garlic Naan This was such a cute family owned little shop! The food was so flavorful, with great portions. Butter Chicken was classic and yummy. Chapli kebab was awesome and filling. The highlight for us was the Lamb curry--the flavors were incredible, and the Lamb so tender and amazing. The rice is perfect. The garlic Naan were pretty good but way bigger than we expected! 3 for 3 people was way too much haha. Would definitely come back here!! The service was great. There are a few parking spots in front of the restaurant, and lots of street parking around the corner.

Chicken Qorma (Curry) served with salad and rice or bread $11.99

We stopped here on a whim, as we cruised Lower Greenville, looking for something different, something new to eat. The exterior of Ariana didn't really leap out at us; but the idea of Homestyle Afghan food did. The interior of Ariana has been spruced up; but it didn't strike me as somewhere to dine in. It was cold temperature wise and the subway tiles and the one lone metal table with four metal chairs didn't help warm it up. The low slung couches against the wall with low tables in front didn't work for us either. So, "to go" it was, as the menu seemed to be amazing. The afternoon we were there it was the Chef Mother and her Daughter running the show. Most food was cooked to order it seemed with the front handled by her oldest. Frankly, I had to lean in to what I already knew about Middle Eastern food to ask intelligent questions about the menu; but it was still a little difficult to grasp the flavor profile from the daughter. Although they call the well seasoned and flavorful Qorma sauce "curry," it's not like any curry that I've had to date. My husband's Chicken Qorma was wonderful braised dark meat chunks (with a rare bone chip or joint piece) in a deep red tomato sauce that was rich and a little oily. The rice was perfect. The accompanying salad was uninspiring and undressed. We ordered these terrific ground beef stuffed dumplings to share called Mantu Dumplings. Shaped similarly to a tortellini, they were steamed and topped with lentils in a savory tomato sauce. There was a tzatziki type sauce with the 7 of them and they were absolutely delicious. I eventually decided on the Chapli Kabab. Since our order was to go, every box or dish was really a surprise, as we had no expectations. The Chapli Kabab turned out to be two grilled patties that were spicy, tender and so very good. They came with a small mound of very tasty fries, the same, but limper, uninspiring salad and two sauces - a thin spicy vinegary sauce that we didn't care for and a bland cilantro sauce. The Chapli Kabab also came with what I think was Afghan Naan. Actually, I Googled everything we ordered, and more from the Ariana menu, after we got home to see what we were eating for sure. The Naan was not like Indian Naan. This was BREAD. It had thick edges like a pizza, and was chewy and dense. I read about what you are supposed to do with it to eat it and it's purpose is very similar to Indian naan, so my husband tried some with his curry. Very. Chewy. The end result was that we liked all the flavors and the moderate prices. The food was generally well prepared and it traveled well. The online menu certainly has piqued our interest and we'll definitely be back.

Qorme Sabzi- delicious and would order again. Generous amount of meat.

Food 5 star. Seating options 3/4 star. Food is delicious. Had Qorme Sabzi and Mantu (based on the recommendation of lady at counter). Qorme- is a lamb type dish I believe and has lots of spinach too. Would order again. Mantu very delicious and would recommend but I like the Qorme more. :) Seating options are not that great. Luckily, for my boyfriend and I, we were the only ones there so we grabbed the only normal table (has 4 chairs to it). Then there is a sofa with coffee table and a few small high tables that are connected to the wall (has high stool too). The space is on the smaller side so can't blame them for it.

Ok there is legit Indian / Afghan food on Greenville Ave! I'm so excited to have found this spot. It's basically a take out place but they do have a small dining area where you can eat if you like. We tried chicken korma, the okra and chicken leg kebab. Ordered a side of the potato bread. Everything was packed with flavor. The chicken korma sauce is delectable but be warned it does have a fair amount of grease. The okra was delicious - I'm looking forward to trying all their other vegetable dishes too. Chicken leg kebab was our least favorite. It was similar to a tandoori chicken prep. The potato bread was a bit salty but also filling and had a ton of flavor. I would get it again. The only thing we didn't enjoy was the little salad that accompanied the dishes. I wish it was something more interesting like a cucumber, tomato and onion salad. Regardless, this place has great food and they are open until 3am on weekends (wtf!?).

If I could rate it higher, I would! One of the best dinners I've had in my life! We got the chicken…read morekabobs, baba ghanoush, grilled veggies, saffron rice, pita, and baklava. Every single dish was PERFECTLY cooked and seasoned. The chicken and veggies were seasoned with just enough spices where it had a slight kick, but not overpowering at all. A perfect balance to bring out the natural flavors of each item. The pita was perfection! Soft and warm, with a slight char on some of the pieces, which added such a beautiful bite with the hummus. Speaking of hummus, the Izmir hummus was silky smooth and incredible. I've had a lot of restaurant hummus and this one was MILES in ahead of them. It also paired beautifully with all of the other items. A flawless base. I cannot wait to come back here! Marcelo was an amazing waiter and even gave us recommendations for next time.

I decided to take my girl to Cafe Izmir for Valentine's Day dinner. Best decision ever!…read more From the minute you walk in you're treated like family, everyone is so friendly. The Valentine's Day decorations were so cute and definitely added to the vibe. The food is always so good! They've added a few new items to the menu, don't skip the Burrata or the Chicken meatballs. I'm not usually a desert eater, but their Tiramisu is to die for! The service is spot on, as if they anticipate your needs, but not intrusive. On the way out they give the ladies a rose, a nice touch. I see why this place has become the beloved Dallas institution it is. I can't wait to go back!

We were in the area checking out homes and the wife found this place on Yelp. It's a very modest…read morerestaurant in terms of ambience and size, but it is clean. You order at the counter and they bring your food to you. We love Middle Eastern food so we were quite pleased that this restaurant exists in the middle of the Texas countryside. I am sure that the people of Murphy and Lucas do not consider themselves as country dwellers, but coming from Dallas, it is countryside. Not saying that is good or bad, just an observation. Anyway, the restaurant. We started with a side of hummus and it was very good. I like a bit less tahini and more garlic, but I am not complaining about this hummus. It came with pita bread. I wish it had been warm. I ordered the shish taouk (cubed chicken breast) and it was excellent. Chicken was tender and very flavorful. It came with rice, some pickles, and an olive dip that I never saw before but it was good too. The wife had the beef shawarma and it also was very flavorful. Beef was tender and good quality. Her's also came with rice. Both of our dishes were excellent and we both would order again. Service was very friendly. It's a family owned restaurant and you can tell that they really care. It was not terrible busy on a Saturday night so I hope they are successful. If I lived in Murphy or Lucas I would be here once a week for sure.

Their beef shawarma is really good and it has a unique taste! We all loved it. Chicken shawarma was…read morenot as good as beef and it was little bit dry! I wish if it's juicy or if they can add more of the garlic sauce to it! Service was amazing! I believe it's a family owned restaurant and they were so nice!
