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.

There's no formal dress code, so some tables were fully dressed in fancy outfits celebrating birthdays. While other tables were in sweatshirts and jeans. So just wear whatever you want. The small appetizer plate they bring out is good, I ate the flat bread with a hummus I ordered. The hummus is solid but I'd probably try a different dip the next time. I ordered the Salmon kebab plate. I was asked how I wanted my salmon cooked, and I said well-done. But how they cooked it was amazing! The salmon was fully cooked but still flaky and tender, and juicy. I found it flavorful enough, but there is a salt and pepper grinder on the table if you need it. It comes with a roasted tomato and a huge mound of saffron rice. I liked the rice a lot but it is a bit plain. If you want a more flavorful or interesting rice, you can add a different rice for $4. Those extra charge ones come with a lot more toppings like different nuts, herbs, or dried fruits. I'd like to try more different dishes next time, but what I was very satisfied by what I ordered. The restaurant is very dimly lit. The server was very nice and attentive. It's in a strip mall area so parking isn't hard to find.

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!

Authentic Central Asian comfort food at its absolute best!…read moreIf you are looking for rich, savory flavors and unbeatable hospitality, this place is a must-visit. The Plov: Perfect, fluffy rice where every grain is distinct. The lamb is tender enough to melt in your mouth, perfectly balanced with the sweetness of yellow carrots and aromatic cumin--flavorful without being overly greasy. Manti: Paper-thin dough packed with a rich, juicy meat filling. Every bite bursts with flavor. Samsa: Served piping hot straight from the tandoor. The pastry is light and flaky, loaded with well-seasoned meat and onions. Service & Vibe: Generous portions, lightning-fast service, and genuine warmth that makes you feel right at home. Pair everything with fresh flatbread and a pot of hot green tea served in traditional pialas. An easy 5 stars for authentic, soul-warming Central Asian cuisine. I'll definitely be back!

Last time we were in, I got to talking with our server and she asked which was my favorite on the vegetarian platter. I told her the red lentils.

The kicker? They were still accepting DoorDash orders. When confronted, the staff just said they hadn't turned the tablet off yet. It is incredibly insulting to be told "no" to your face while they continue to pump out orders for an app. It shows a total lack of respect for a customer's effort and zero management of their own kitchen flow. If you aren't local, don't risk the drive--they might just tell you to stand in their lobby and use an app instead of actually serving you.

The interior is simple, with basic tables and chairs, but the friendly staff and outstanding food are what really matter.

My wife had the Spanakopita Dinner, also served with a Greek salad, and she really enjoyed it. Everything we ate was fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. The only downside is that the prices are a little higher than expected for such a casual restaurant. Even so, the quality of the food and the warm, welcoming service made it well worth the visit.
