Reviews for Ariana in New York, NY
Very authentic feel and taste. I would definitely come back. Non alcoholic drinks (happy tea, Dough)were unique and tasty. ... Potato curry was good especially with the added hot sauce. Long grain rice seems to be the base for all the plates and it verytasty on its own. Read more

Wonderful experience dining Afghan cuisine at Ariana. Cozy environment, friendly service, and delicious food!
Wali, the owner, first of all treats his guests like Kings and Queens. He made our night amazing. (We had a rough evening and we... wanted to celebrate a work anniversary) He is so friendly and takes pride in his restaurant. The food was amazing. I?m serious.The manti with chicken was so delish. The Kabuli palow with lamb was amazing. The sauces are amazing. The chicken kebabs wereexcellent. The eggplant and barbari was excellent. All I?m saying is just go! I?m definitely returning. On a scale of 0-10 Theservice was 10.5 Food was 11 Restaurant is a 10 Dessert is 10 Read more
Great food, everything was delicious. The owner Rafi is a class act. If that?s traditional Afghani hospitality then I?m going to... Kabul tomorrow. We didn?t know what to choose so he made two ?surprise? dishes both of which were phenomenal. We?ll be back. Read more
I'm a lover of Afghan food and Ariana may be one of the best Afghan restaurants I have ever had. It is not a particularly large... space, however the owners make great use of the space and you do not feel squished or crammed in nor do you feel uncomfortablyclose to your fellow patrons. Service is very good, quick, and polite. The food selection is vast with well written andunderstandable remarks on what to expect. The rice is really good and the drizzle of carrots, raisins, and nuts is perfectlysituated and rationed as to not be too overwhelming. Chicken is perfectly cooked and tasty. Not too spicy, but there areadditional spice accommodations on each table. Honestly, found no issues or faults with this restaurant. I would forewarn thatthey do not accept American Express as a payment, but other than that did is a really good spot. Read more
Had dinner here with family, it's amazingly good. The lamb kofte was quite possibly the best I've ever had. Firnee was also... spectacular. Read more
