Ariana Cuisine

It's one of my friends favorite place to dine. It's a quaint restaurant located in a plaza. The menu didn't have any information on the ingredients which seemed odd to me. The lady at the cash register was polite and welcoming. I tried the chapli kabob with roasted potatoes and salad. While the meat was cooked amazingly well, the dish lacked seasoning. Flavors were interesting but lack of seasoning made it harder to enjoy the dishes. I did add seasoning myself but i wish it came pre-seasoned. Heads up: there's a long wait for the meal. Don't come over hungry.

Great curries and the Okra is out of this world.Keep in mind they are closed in Tuesday

Butter Chicken, Lamb Curry, Chapli Kebab, Garlic NaanThis 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.

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!?).

One of my favorite places in Dallas to get authentic Indian/Afghan food! I have never had a bad experience coming here. Everything is fresh and flavorful and tastes great every time. My favorite dishes are the butter chicken and koobideh kabob - so good! The menu has a great variety so you are bound to find something you like.The restaurant is small but clean with a few places to sit if you want to dine in. I usually do takeout and the turn around time from ordering to picking up is always accurate and efficient! If the restaurant runs out of an item, they will give you a call and ask you for a replacement. Highly recommend to anyone in the Dallas area.

We LOVE this place and get takeout here all the time. Everything is so good. My only qualm is the garlic naan. Y'all can do better. It needs desperately needs not only garlic, but seasoning and salt etc. it's basically naan you threw a couple clove chunks on. Love your food just need the garlic bread to match everything else!

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.

please this place was soooo good, I had the butter chicken w/ white rice & salad 10/10 I also ordered the bread and I couldn't wait to go home and eat it because let me tell youuuu, the smell alone? Edible !!! 10/10 I crave this place now & it's so easy to look over !! HIDDEN GEM fr

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.

We traveled from another city to dine here again because we had previously enjoyed the excellent quality of the food.Today, the food quality was very good as well, just like before. However, one thing that was quite upsetting was the behavior of the young lady working there. As Afghans, we place great importance on hospitality, and the initial interaction when entering a place is very important. Unfortunately, this young lady was wearing earphones and greeted us with a cold attitude. She didn't provide a proper welcome, which left us feeling a bit disappointed.That said, the food quality was as excellent as always. We hope the management will pay attention to this aspect in the future.
