Travelled 135 miles to come to Ariana to meet up with family (we are currently not able to have people in our house due to COVID 19 restrictions . We had booked the table for four people for a Saturday lunchtime. Surprisingly we were the only people there for the whole lunchtime, which did make for a lack of atmosphere. Consequently, however, the service was very good too good in fact as we had wanted to spin lunch out before our 135 mile drive home. As we were sharing the different dishes (carefully! we asked for the starters and main courses to be served together. No problem, except that one starter did not arrive (and was not charged for .

Horrible food. In fact unhealthy. The meat was old and smelly. Never did I get food where I literally hated the smell before I even taste it. It was awful. Old and rancid, full of spices to mask the age but to no avail. And you would think you will have your kebabs charcoal grilled no way, has a burnet surface must have been a normal grill but no charcoal. Horrible in every way and overpriced for something disgusting and most likely unhealthy.
This restaurant is well below average. The food was incredibly bland compared to many Persian restaurants I have been to. If you are looking to try Persian or Middle Eastern cuisine, I would recommend going to a Persian restaurant instead of this Afghan one. The food here tasted like a fake version of Persian cuisine, similar to comparing a real designer handbag to a knock-off.
We came at 7 on a Thursday and had the vegetarian dolmas and veggie ghormeh sabzi with some pickles to lighten it it was so good I finished the whole (large plate! It came very quickly, too.Thee mint tea was also delicious, (though I'm not sure the waiter heard me ask for it without black tea... Definitely coming back! Book a table now
I stumbled upon this restaurant by chance when looking for a place to host my birthday dinner with friends. I was pleasantly surprised by the reasonable deposit required for booking, and was highly impressed by the food, service, atmosphere, and overall value for money. I highly recommend this restaurant to others.
Ariana. Mile End fantastic. Good food in a cool atmosphere with the restaurant Nextdoor to a nice Èast London park. And the canal a sort walk away. This restaurant will not disappoint on good Persian food. You have to take your own drink’ wine or beers’ I can recommend the mixed meat grill.
This restaurant was great ! We stumbled on it on a walk about through the area! Delicious Afghani food with traditional teas! The waiters even offered me a flatbread bread called nan baked straight from the oven near the entrance ! Great ambiance ! Would eat there again!
We turned up without a booking on a warm Friday evening and they went out of their way to find us a place. Good food, generous portions, good value for money, friendly atmosphere. Will definitely visit again Book a table now
This restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and a nice design. However, the service is very slow. I waited for 1 hour and still did not receive my food.
