Ariana Afghan Persian - Tower Hamlets

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.

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 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!

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.

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.
