We have been enjoying Ariana years, especially for family gatherings. This year we celebrated my parents’ 80th and it was a lovely evening. The private room for parties accommodated our group of 20 or so friends and family. Our hosts at the restaurant were wonderful. And all our guests enjoyed the food which was served family style. Highly recommend the restaurant in general and also for hosting an event.

Came to Ariana on the recommendation of a friend who raved about the flavorful food and we were not disappointed. The mix of spices in the soup (aush), the kebabs, sauces and challow were delicious. Desserts should not be passed up either, all made with a variation of pistachio and cardamom flavoring. All of this was delivered with excellent, friendly service. The owner stopped by twice himself to make sure everything was in order. We will certainly be back.
