Ariana Gyros & Kabobs

First off I almost passed the location by as I was unsure it was open. The driveway was a little hidden and run down. We walked in and although we could hear music from the patio we called out to get service. The inside is very swanky, more like a lounge and outside is more like a sports bar restaurant with misters going. The man who helped us was very nice and tried to steer us to the most fresh dishes. You order at the entrance and sit down. I did not enjoy the chicken on my gyro bowl, a little too dry. However my husband liked his lamb kebabs though. There was a man smoking a hookah inside who seemed to be enjoying it. They had some cakes in a case at the entrance, not made in house but the man at the counter said they were good.

I love this spot, hands down is my go to spot for this kind of food. I usually DoorDash it because the staff honestly is kind of difficult to communicate with as they are young and give off the impression they really don't want to be there. But I always get the Gyro bowl and it never disappoints. They pack the bowl with so much rice and meat, I usually end up eating it over the course of two days because they give so much. Great flavor, quick service and always a reliable place to order from.

Critical me says, "give 4 stars." Why? Because the portion is too generous (lots of meat, big gyro, plenty of fries), I have a tough time wasting food, I know the fries & gyro will not reheat well, so I gorge. I'd much rather have a smaller portion and save $2. That's just me.Tonight was my first visit. A friendly young lady immediately greeted me when I walked in. Very polite, attentive and soft spoken. It was a breathe of fresh air.Lamb/beef gyro was ready in just over 5 minutes. The dill sour cream type sauce was wonderful and I used it for my fries. The fries were seasoned beautifully.After having fries at another spot nearby, the drive home makes them a little soggy. But they are still de-li-cious! I need a solution to get them home less soggy. Got ideas?I'll definitely return. Thank you wonderful Afghans.Oh, and it seems they offer hookah for anyone interested. And if you are a nonsmoker, but go to join hookah users, just $5.

They are definitely still open for business and food service. They open at Noon. I haven't been in over a year because I thought they were closed. Of course due to inflation the price went up $4, which is understandable. If you ordered 1-2 yrs ago they used to spoil you with loads of meat now you get just enough but still a generous. place is still pretty good and the best in sac. The meat and fries are well seasoned. We got a beef/lamb gyro & a bowl. You get your bang for your buck if you get a bowl. Their renovations on the inside are beautiful and the vibe is cozy. Good and quick customer service as always.

Came here a couple of times before quarantine and nothing has wowed me. I've tried their Elk Grove location before and thought it was good so I when I saw there was one here, I had to get the bolani again. It wasn't as good as I remembered it to be. I've tried their wrap and gyro and bf got the Philly cheese steak and a plate. The plate wasn't bad. Food here was average and also they are quite slow when making the food. It was like a 25 min wait.

Coworker: What is THAT?Me: Bolani. Try it.Coworker: Huh?Me: Bolani. Go ahead, try it.Coworker: (Tries a piece) Damn, that's good.Me: Exactly. You've probably driven past this little inconspicuous Mediterranean spot a hundred times and didn't realize what you are missing.Vegan items: Bolani, Dolma, Falafel, Hummus. All delicious and reasonably priced. I'd jump for joy if they added a vegan tzatziki sauce to go with that falafel though.This is such a welcomed addition to the Sac suburban food scene it's not even funny. Definitely give this place a try.

Slim pickings at home so the three of us headed to Ariana to give this fairly new restaurant a try. We had the dolmas to start which were served warm - a first for me but very flavorful. Much softer warm too. We had the triple humus which was great with the pita to share. A lamb/beef gyro, a chicken gyro, and I had a falafel pita. All the food was very good but the beef/lamb gyro was exceptional. On the basis of the quality and fair pricing of the food this place rates 5 stars. However, the ice water container was empty after getting half filled cups which I secured by reaching over the counter since there were only 2 by the water. Also, there were no forks in the containers and the knife they brought to me had some kind of black spot on it which I wiped off with my napkin. Once they address these minor issues, this place will be 5 star!

Stopped by a couple months ago and finally getting around to making a post. I can't remember what I originally ordered, but it wasn't available and they offered an alternative which was the chicken kabob and I am glad they mentioned it because it was great. Also, the hookah and service were also decent and better priced than some other spots. Not to mention, the patio is a nice touch. I can tell this place garners some regulars too, which is a good sign to me. Definitely worth checking out and supporting this local business.

Please eat at this restaurant! The food is always good, very friendly customer service and hot fresh food. I promise to take a picture next time. Everything was so good we rate it so fast.

i love to come here ion my lunch break. my favorite is the chicken gyro bowl! it tastes so good and ingredients are always fresh!
