Ariana Afghan Kebab

The food in this place was WILD. First of all they were very accommodating to my gluten-free needs and there is a wealth of choices. Incredible flavor, everything I ate made me want to lick the plate in a way you should not do so in public, but I went for it. I normally find chicken kebab to be good at best and typically middling so i usually get lamb and beef— but the combo I ordered had all three and the chicken was OUTstanding— the best chicken I’ve had at a restaurant with this kind of cuisine. Such good flavor. There was also something with eggplant that was beautiful, and the pudding like dessert was a fine touch at the end. Our “server” seemed like he might be in charge of the whole place, he was so knowledgeable on everything and so kind, and really imparted upon our party the ethos of good food leading to a good and long life. It’s very clear that these are not just words at Ariana Afghan, but a way of life. I was happy to taste a little bit of it!

Delicious food, excellent service! This is a hidden gem in the NYC that I have been a patron of for almost 30 years. They are gluten-free friendly.
