" Tried Ariana for the first time and I have to say, I was impressed! The flavors in the eggplant dish were vibrant, almost grounding. Service was attentive though the place was busy during dinner. I would recommend trying their unique Afghan desserts—they're a perfect ending to a delicious meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was genuinely disappointed during my last visit. It seemed like the food was not as fresh as before, and the service was a bit slow. I've had better experiences here, which is why I hope it’s just a one-off situation. Still, the ambiance remains quite nice. " (*Curated Review*)

" Took the plunge, and wow! Ariana exceeded my expectations. The service was quick, and the staff was attentive without being intrusive. The Kaddo is a must! An ideal place for foodies. Next time, I plan on trying more appetizers. Super excited! " (*Curated Review*)

" We went to Ariana for a special occasion and were thoroughly pleased! The attention to detail in the food and service was commendable. Our favorite was the Chopan; the flavor was simply on another level. We can't wait to go back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an average experience. The lamb curry was decent, but I thought it could use a bit more seasoning. Service was fine, nothing memorable. The restaurant has a very pleasant environment, though; perhaps worth a second chance. " (*Curated Review*)

" Ariana is truly a hidden gem! The lamb could probably rival fine-dining establishments, packed with flavor and tenderness. The waitstaff treated us like family. If you’re in the area and craving authentic Afghan food, I can’t stress enough how much you should go there. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Ariana was a memorable experience! The Kaddo with ground beef was outstanding, perfectly balancing sweet and savory flavors. The atmosphere was cozy with lovely decor, and the service was friendly and quick. I can't wait to return and try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)
