Great food and excellent service! They're always so friendly and accommodating. I often get the chicken curry which comes with Afghan bread and green sauce. It's good to eat there for lunch or get takeout. You'll get to hear Afghan music, but it's not in not the best neighborhood. I promise the food is worth it!

So impressed with this restaurant!! The portions are very generous for what you pay. I had the lamb shank and it was literally to die for- meat falling off the bone tender. Food was ready in 5 minutes. Will be back in heartbeat

OH MY GOODNESS!!! THIS PLACE IS NOTHING SHORT OF INCREDIBLE!!! Totally unassuming hole in the wall kinds of spot that will BLOW YOUR MIND if you give them the chance. I had the qabili palaw (which is basically all I order at Afghan spots) and it was better than any others I've had. If lamb is on the menu, I'm ordering it. My favorite kind of meat and this was hands down the best lamb shank I've EVER had. Rest of the family loved all of their options. The only others I tried were the beef and chicken chapli. Both were incredibly delicious but the chicken in particular was insanely good.

Aria afghan is delightful! Tucked away in an not-so-fabulous part of town, aria afghan serves authentic, nourishing, and delicious afghani food. I love the chicken kabob, and the lamb kubideh. The service is very friendly and you can tell they really care. There isn't much ambiance inside, more a place to get food to go

Love this place from the very beginning. Ate here again after a couple of years (it's a little far from where I live) and they are still oh so good! Very sweet and nice customer service. They serve good, warm, hearty meals. I really love their "potato pizza" I'm always craving it

Came here after Eid prayers on April 10th. Needless to say that I loved their food, portion size, and good customer service. They were absolutely slammed with large takeout orders, but they still managed to get our food in time.

Wow, food is delicious and generous! I like they have the mint chutney to go with the meat and rice. The salad is with no dressing, just add the refreshing and crunch. When you amalgamate a bit of the rice, meat, salad and chutney together into bites and chews- that's when the satisfaction comes. It came with slices of bread. Wow! Not too mentioned food pricing too. Flavor, people, flavor! Go here today! It's modest inside but clean. You can dine in for sure, no fuss. The owner husband and wife was friendly and welcoming. Service with a smile. I love the trio, they make excellent chapli. The beef, lamb and chicken KL's on and meat were flavorful and tender. Go here today and enjoy the food!!
