My husband asked the waiter which samosas he preferred since we couldn't decide. The beef samosas were good and quite filling. Two come with an order and they are large. The rice was wonderful. Lots of orange rind and almonds! The lamb was a little tough but delicious. The portions are very generous. I think this restaurant is more suited for dinner and am looking forward to coming back.

We also ordered the spicy mix kebabs , the milky dessert with tea, and mangu. The food was delicious, no complaints there at all. We loved the kebabs, the afghan rice, the bread, and the goat. We ended up ordering more rice because for us the portion was small since we were sharing. The service was slow and they were out of a few popular menu items. It wasn't packed but there were a couple of big tables already seated when we walked in. We never got the mangu and I had to find ways to distract myself since the food took a while to come. However, the servers were kind and apologized many times for the slowness. They even comped the extra rice for us. The ambiance was family friendly but I could see the place being a spot for adults to hang in the evening because there was open space. I think it would be a perfect venue for a small event. Definitely worth a try.

Absolutely brilliant as always--we happily stuck to our favorites: The Sharzeh Garden , Kashk Bademjoon, those addictive chicken wings, and the labneh with char-grilled cherry tomatoes For mains, the Chicken Barg with adas rice and the lamb kebabs never disappoint. And if you ask the family, the sea bass here is still the best on the menu. We also tried their s'mores dessert--beautifully presented and just as delicious. With a new dessert chef on board, you have to explore their sweet creations next time you visit! Highly recommend making a reservation before you go--it's always in demand

Really dismissive wait staff. We came in for lunch and asked for a table, and the hostess…read moreimmediately seemed annoyed that we had arrived. I understand there may have just been a rush, but in a customer-facing job it's not pleasant to make customers feel like an inconvenience for coming in. We were seated outside pretty quickly, but because it was very hot and we were directly in the sun, we asked if it would be possible to move to another table. When we asked our waiter, he told us to go ask the hostess ourselves. I've never had a waiter respond that way before. I expected him to check for us and let us know if moving was possible. We ended up asking the hostess directly, and to her credit, she did move us to another table. However, the overall attitude from the staff still felt cold and unwelcoming. We were really excited to try the food, but ultimately decided not to stay because we didn't feel comfortable spending money somewhere we weren't being treated as paying customers.

We visited around 3 PM on a Friday for a late lunch and were seated quickly. As a vegetarian, I was happy to see that they have plenty of options on the menu. We started with the yogurt dip with cucumber and the baba ghanoush, both of which were very tasty. For my main dish, I ordered the veggie kebabs, which come with saffron rice and grilled pineapple--my favorite part. Everything was flavorful and well prepared. They also offer lunch specials from 11 AM to 3 PM on certain weekdays, and we happened to arrive just in time to take advantage of that, which was a nice bonus. Parking was easy as well. I would definitely come back!

I was almost heartbroken when I couldn't find this restaurant next to café 967. When you Google…read morethis place, it still shows that it's at that location, but I didn't know it moved. It's behind the Shell gas station on Roswell Road across from the PNC plaza. Honestly I need Google to update where this location is located. Looks might be deceiving while the restaurant has downgraded in size and appearance. It is still one of my favorite Pakistani restaurants. The meat here is Halal and it has so much flavor. The restaurant is actually a lot smaller. It's more of a stall now in my opinion there's only three tables. The menu has also significantly decreased in size, but if you're looking for the full size restaurant, they still have one I believe in Gwinnett. It's just too far for me to drive to. This one is about 40 minutes from my house so it's doable. While the restaurant might not look the cleanest, there's no AC, and the staff is hidden in the kitchen. The food really makes up for it. You do have to walk up to the ordering window because they will not come to your table unless they bring your food. I got two orders of the Tandoori chicken kebabs. It was everything my taste buds needed. It does take time to cook so I had to wait about almost 20 to 30 minutes. I wish they had cold drinks because my sprite was room temperature. This is definitely more of a to go restaurant. I would not come in a group of more than four people. when I tell you this place is a lot smaller than their other locations. I'm not exaggerating. There's only three tables.

I went with a group of 8 friends, and while this place was small, the man working the counter was more than happy to accommodate us. It is a pick up counter style place where you order up front and then sit down. They call you by name when your order is ready which isn't too long. You then go to the window and pick up your food and bring it to the table. If I had any qualm it would just be that they give plastic cutlery. Since there's a lot of meat in their plates it is tough to cut with plastic utensils. But the place isn't super fancy or anything so you can just pick it up and tear with your teeth lol. The lamb is a little pricey but it is so good I would definitely order it again at that price.

It was topped with whipped feta that was super airy. Stuffed branzino: the fish was perfectly charred and deboned which made it very easy to eat. Chicken harissa: this was our group's favorite dish of the night. It was perfectly spiced and had a nice kick to it. Sabzi polo: basmati rice topped with fried scallions. This goes perfectly well with the chicken and Bronzino. Pistachio lava cake: this was a delightful to an amazing meal. The cake has molten white chocolate filling and topped with cardamom ice cream. It was perfectly sweetened and not too heavy. This was the top meal of this trip!

The ambiance, decor and overall vibe is very upscale. Service was top notch, from the host to our server. Big shoutout to Kaleigh/Kaylie who was the sweetest and gave us the best recommendations. I always order the grilled wings because these are to die for, definitely a must!!! All of the dips in smaller orders we got were delicious with the complimentary bread, Muhammara with the walnut is my new obsession. For main entrées, we went with the Honey Harissa Chicken and the Lamb Neck along with an order of the buttery rice to share, with no regrets. The Harissa chicken was a classic spin, perfectly seasoned and paired with pickled onions and salad. The lamb neck was so home-y and rich, falling off the bone, with a perfect broth for the buttery rice. For dessert, we opted for the classic Baklava, solid classic one paired with rose water ice cream, and the Turkiramisú, which was a pleasant surprise, paired with turkish coffee such a delight. Overall an amazing dinner, perfect for solo, date night or groups. Parking is complimentary valet or self parking in the medical center next door.

As a frequent eater and lover of Afghani food, this place was excellent and I've been here 3 times…read moreeven though it's quite far from me. Kabuli pillow (possibly wrong spelling) was the highlight, and best in town. In fact, it was so well prepared that we came back specifically from it. They claim to be the first and best afghani restaurant in town - and honestly this checks out. They have great starters/sharables too, best for me is always the betinjan (eggplant). I like the Mantu as well, but tbh, had much better mantu elsewhere. The highlight is the pillow. Just go there! Ambiance wise - very family friendly. Simple and quite interior, nothing fancy, great for families or parties who don't want much noise and just want to eat and enjoy a conversation. Great service as always.

Visited Ariana Kabob House for a quick, last minute lunch. The restaurant is conveniently located,…read moreclean and spacious, and there's a pretty extensive menu. The prices seemed fairly reasonable. Customer service was friendly and attentive. I opted to order the chicken kebab plate, and it was quite tasty. The portions were a bit smaller than expected, and the rice was slightly bland on flavor, but I enjoyed the chicken kebab and the garlic yogurt sauce. The cucumber salad was refreshing, and was a nice addition. The green chutney sauce was alright, but a little watery in texture. We had to eat quickly due to scheduling constraints, but they were quick with providing takeout boxes, and sauce cups to take home with our leftovers. Overall, a solid place to get some great Afghan food.

The labneh is so much more creamy. All of the meat is so well seasoned. I love the garlic toum and zhoug. I will not ever order from another Persian place in the city. Yalda clears them imo. And this is from a takeout perspective. I went in person with my parents. Whenever they come into town they requests the above mentioned restaurants. We decided to try Yalda. They prefer here over the others. Said the food is more flavorful, fresh. And that's coming from a Korean lady who is incredibly picky about where she eats in public. With that said, The Sandy Springs location is beautiful. Service was impeccable. Such friendly and attentive staff. Parking can be frustrating but I don't even care lol. Yalda ILY forever!
