Ariana Afghan Restaurant

Good food, good service... It's really that simple.

The food here is so good. I can't even explain how good it is with just words. Everything is seasoned so incredibly perfectly. I always get the combo lamb and chicken kabobs. And every single time the meat on both is so tender and delicious. The rice is always fluffy never too dry, never sticky. The garbanzo beans are just so seasoned and delicious. The naan is always hot and crispy on the outside. I just love going here. And I always get really great service. I've only ever had one particular girl who takes the money because I usually place the order online. She's always nice to me. Do yourself a favor and go here quickly. I don't even have any pictures because I always eat the food and forget to take pictures. Just take some time out of your day and go here.

Very tasty food and great service

Absolutely amazing food. Would eat here every day if I could afford it heh.

By far the best Afghan food in Woodbridge area thank goodness. I usually drive far to eat Afghan food (mostly Springfield/Tysons) I went to a couple places in Woodbridge since I live here now but they were all awful. Good service good food

Food and service were great. Entire family enjoyed the food there. We got bulani and the family platter for 4...plenty of food with some left over. We will be back to try mantu and qabila.

Excellent staff and great food!

One of the few afghan restaurants that serve good quality food.

Poor customer service ,smell in food

Excellent! Food is glorious!! Will go back!

This is perfect to be in the Asian Restaurant of Arabian Cuisine.

The food was very good. Service fabulous!! I highly recommend it!!

This restaurant is in Woodbridge Virginia very friendly owner. The food is good too.

Food good but no matching with wedding dinner and interior was good. Staff so rude, I heard about they are so good but bad experience. I had been invited in reception buffet supposed to serve but amaze to know when I asked them pls refill rice because that so cold and less then quarter was left in tray so staff told me no until it gets finish till then we will not refill :( oh my God ...........Ok np asked them pls get kabobs because it’s none in tray they said coming after 15 min they being only two kabobs what the hell .....?Was that a reception or not ???????What’s the meaning of buffet????????Why you charged for person????????I have gone through so many buffet but not like this.....Awful experience :(Pls who ever booked them pls pls tell them keep serving hot food and don’t let the trays or dishes empty because for some how this is a level of respect and prideSo pls make sure

where should i start. the worst place to eat. The staff very rude, when it comes to service zero. the place is dirty, the landscape outside is like nobody cut the grass or touched any plant for months. dont waste your money.

Food is great!!! The staff is friendly and curtious. We felt very welcomed. The owner came to our table to ask how everything was and spent time talking with us. I felt as if we were guests in his home. Will definitely visit again.

Excellent food. Reasonable prices.

Some have stated that the service is poor. I think that's fair. But the food definitely makes up for it. Whether you are getting dine in or carry out, this food is flavorful and fresh. Delicious. The prices are reasonable and quantities are generous. I thought the tea was a little expensive but it really was excellent. Even if you only ever pick up a kabob to go, you should definitely try this place. Thanks Ariana!

I love this restaurant. Believe me, I was amazed when I tried the food here for the first time. I was SO impressed that I came back the next day and will continue to come here as often as I can. The food here is very delicious. I give it a 5 star rating.

This is by far the BEST Afghani restaurant I have ever tried in the Woodbridge, Virginia area. All of the food here is freshly prepared and the meat kabobs here are succulent, very tender, and delicious. The portion sizes are very good. The atmosphere is very clean, relaxing, and the owner is courteous and hospitable.

Look, I don't know what really happened to the people who left those 1-star reviews, but this place is quite delicious, and not at all over-priced. I've been coming here for a while and have maybe had to wait for a water refill once, but I simply caught the server's attention and it was quickly resolved. Very pleasant staff, great food, and a nice atmosphere. I guess I'm that "white friend". Whatever...the food is wonderful.

First time rating a business. It makes great impression for the first time. The food is taste is excellent. We order lunch especial. Value for your money. Good ambience for lunch. Lisbeth service was wonderful.

Delicious food. Great service.

Manager who is old guy is mean as hell, probably he is having a midlife crisis. They forget to include spinach in my takeout and waiter calls me 15mins later to come pick it up. No token of appreciation when i went back to pick it up. They recently started charging extra for white sauce.Customer service is absolutely horrible. The food is fantastic though, thats the only reason why i still go here.

Beautiful and neat

"Customer service is absolute horrible. They missed side in my take out order. I call the restaurant and they are unapologetic. Old guy who is manager is rude and doesnt care of customers. Only reason i go is food is great."

Awesome service. Exceptional food with a good quantity. Sauces and spices were authentic and meat cooked to perfection. The kids meal came out heaping with fries. This will be a new family favorite.

Very comfortable place. Not precisely for Afgans only but for eveybody.What is more, Spanish is spoken.

I placed two orders for the chicken tikka to go; for me and my boyfriend, on their website; and went to pick it up. When I went in, owner immediately greeted me and was very nice. Order was already ready when I got there, so I didn’t have to wait long at all. Inside was very beautiful.When I got home and me boyfriend were able to eat everything, we both agreed it is some of the best chicken tikka we’ve ever had. They seasoned it just right. Plus the chick peas they served it with was perfection, never knew chick peas could be so delicious. It was a very filling meal, worth every penny it costed.Don’t listen to none of the negative reviews, they probably think mayonnaise is spicy and expect people who work in customer service roles to kiss their @$$. My only regret is not coming here sooner!

I took my children here for lunch (picky eaters) and we all loved the food & the service! We got the family meal for 4 with baklava for dessert and everything tasted wonderful! Definitely recommend!

No doubt the food and interior is good, but the staff is so rude, we booked it for reception with gathering of 130, he charged very high per head, but when dinner is served and guest ask to change the meal with the hot one he says no and says until dish is empty I wont bring more 🤯, (the owner) so if anyone book this for their parties etc please be mention in your contract because this guy is so rude... I review for others so no one gone through with same difficulties as we were....

This was one of the best qulaity Afghan foods I have ever had. The portions and sides are super generous and fascinating with the prices incredibly low. They have fresh baked afghan bread and the earthy manager even offered free tea as Afghan culture won't let the guests leave without offering them tea.I will always come back and will let anyone know about this place.

Nice place for Afghan Food. The Manager is a very good guy.

Love the food and service... Lamb Shank and Kabli pollao is my favorite.

Nice and clean place. Friendly and knowledgeable employees. Food quality is great.

Great food and good price.

Very good place for authentic Afghan Food.

I have visited today with my family to serve the lunch, unfortunately they haven’t a respectful service. There was a old guy that he was very rude.

We ate here today. The food was bursting with flavor and was top quality. It was absolutely delicious. The service was "relaxed" like a Sunday stroll but our server was super hospitable and kind. The restaurant is immaculate and the atmosphere is set up like a fancy wedding reception. We will come back!

Super delicious food. Afghan food, but every other person would love rimbs, rice, dumpling, super delicious qably etc.

Large portions, low prices, good quality, good staff. Best one in Woodbridge. I don’t understand some of the lower ratings.

For some reason, having Middle Eastern food makes me think I'm reincarnated from that region. Felt the same way when I went to Egypt. I ordered, take out, the Beef & Chicken Tikka Combo where my mouth salivated at the online pictures of FOUR pieces of chicken and FOUR pieces of beef. $14.99. When I got home I got TWO pieces of chicken and TWO pieces of beef. And a ton a rice. I had driven all the way home, so wasn't about to go back. Tasted good, but I got gypped and was not happy.

Very good food, but there was not that many bread....

The food is excellent, the staff behavior is so professional. I would recommend you guys to visit here with friends and family as well.

Food was fabulous 😋😋 I will go again.

Do not eat here!!!! I walked into this place and asked to speak with the owner/manager because I was going to place a catering order for an event. When the owner walked up to the front I introduced myself he didn’t not want to even give me his name. He said “why do you need to know my name if you are only placing a catering order” I could not believe that the owner of a business would say something like that so I just smiled and left. If you like bad customer service this is your spot
