Ariana II in Brent

Walked in this restaurant unplanned and I’m so grateful that I did Hameed literally made me feel like I’m home his hospitality and service is simply unlike any other you experience without paying a kidney The food was absolutely delicious and freshly cooked I ordered the lamb shank Thank you so much hameed I wish you all the best and I will definitely be back

We had high hopes and were not disappointed! The atmosphere our lovely host created was remarkable

Drove an hour to get here, absolutely worth the food was good and exceptional service by hameed. He made sure everything went well.

The place is a hidden gem in Kilburn high street. Quality, homemade flavour food. Servers were extra helpful to give us a good recommendation when unsure. Plates are massive, so would suggest asking first if it is too much. Great Kabuli pilau and amazing hummus. Would recorecommend!

Really authentic food and the service was outstanding!

Samir and Hamid served us and were great, they knew the menu inside out and served us attentively, without being intrusive. Food was fantastic and there was an ambient atmosphere. Would visit again

Excellent service, fantastic food and huge portions made not for going hungry. Hamid and Samira were brilliant waiting the table that myself and two friends were at for dinner. Would recommend!

An absolutely magmotional meal, made only better by the wonderful Samir and Hamid, 11/10 would recommend

I really like there food and service

Hamid and Sameera were excellent hosts, very welcoming and friendly. The portions were big and the food tasted amazing! Will definitely be coming back

Really lovely service from Hamid and Samira! Great food, large portions- thoroughly enjoyed!

Amazing food portions and service. Thank you Hamid and Samira ❤️

Warm and friendly atmosphere! The Mantu is a must try! Hamid and Samira were great and funny

Delicious food and generous portions! We had a great time.

Very friendly and welcoming people, nice comfortable seating, delicious and tasty food, can’t recommend enough.

Best of class for Afghan/Iranian style food (as good as any of the same in London). Eat in or order on Uber Eats. Great value for what you get. Super staff.

Great food and service! The staff were very accommodation and gave their own personal touch. Would come back :)

It was really delicious food and very good service and lovely staff

Becoming a firm family favourite, been here twice in less than a month. Hamed is very sweet and the Kabuli Palow is top 👌🏾 tier.

This is the loveliest place! The staff are so kind and friendly, and the food was absolutely delicious. It is a must-try for Afghan food in London. (Halal)

Had to write a review being I am a regular customer and always get consistent good and friendly customer service! The staff love my baby and he is fond of them too, so it is a child friendly and accommodating restaurant with an authentic Afghan feel regarding the decor and music . My regular orders is either the mix grill or lamb shank, so tasty and delicious with a homemade touch. For those who have never eaten Afghan food, would highly recommend!!

Food is great! Samira and co are absolutely amazing - so accommodating for our allergies and dietary needs! Childrens and adults loved. Dumplings were my favourite! Baklava to end was best I’ve tasted. Great place to spend Eid!

Favourite restaurant in London - always buying a bottle of chakni to take home

Rice was soft and delicious. The lamb was so tender. The Mantu was delightful. Most of all they treated me with kindness and a great afghan desert which my wife loved.

Great food, friendly, courteous staff.

Good service waiters were really nice 👌

Had a lovely experience dining here with my family. The food was top tier and delicious and the service was excellent. Thank you to Hamid and Samira for the amazing hospitality!

What a warm friendly welcome I received from Samira. She made me feel welcome as soon as I walked in the door. The food was absolutely delicious! The staff are fun and friendly! Drinks are refreshing and it’s great for any occasion. I highly recommend and I will be back.

Ariana II is an absolute must-visit ! The food was incredible — every single dish we tried was packed with flavour and cooked to perfection. The service was just as exceptional, with Hamid & Samira going above and beyond to make our experience even more special. A standout for us was Samira’s grandma’s Chakni, which is truly unforgettable ! (a little tip: you can even buy a bottle to take home ) Can’t wait to come back here again <3

The worst Afghan restaurant in London! The prices are outrageous, the service is terrible, and the food has no flavor. I do not recommend it to anyone!

Absolutely loved it! The food was excellent, service over the top and the atmosphere was eerie.

The food and the service was brilliant. Samira and Hamid were very kind and helpful.

This is an amazing place to dine in. My friend brought me to this place and the waiter and waitress couldn’t be more welcoming and friendly. We had a set menu for two. The food was amazing, and as a Chinese I won’t say that easily. If you are from Xinjiang and miss some 薄皮包子 or 手抓饭, their Mantu and Pilaw are great substitutes. The price was reasonable, portion was large, and the service was exceptional. Definitely coming back for more meat feast.

Staff was very nice and good amazing

Food is very expensive. I don't think it's worth of money.

Amazing food and Samira’s service was fab!!

Place is becoming my second home, Samira and Hamid are amazing and very welcoming. The food is amazing and the place is wholesome

Best restaurant in Kilburn and one of the best value restaurants in London. All the dishes are amazing and the staff are a lot of fun. We’ll be coming back regularly!

Absolutely loved this restaurant. Samira was such a welcoming and lovely person, she was so much fun to talk to and have a laugh with. The food was delicious I was in a food coma for the rest of the night after our meal

Food, service and atmosphere was amazing. Hospitality was soooo good !

Thank you for the delicious food and the wonderful hospitality ❤️

Top service from Hamid and samira! Amazing welcome, food and service.

Hamid and Samira gave me excellent service and delicious food.

I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant The food was absolutely delicious everything was fresh flavourful and perfectly cooked. The service was outstanding, making the whole dining experience even more enjoyable A special shout out to Samera who was incredibly generous and went above and beyond to help us. Her warm and welcoming attitude made us feel truly valued as customers. Hamid was also very helpful ensuring that we had everything we needed throughout our meal Overall, this restaurant exceeded my expectations in both food and service I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to dine Will definitely be coming back

My favourite place in Kilburn!!

Was here for a birthday Samira hamid made the night. If you’re looking for a big portion and a great atmosphere then go here!

I care here for my 25th birthday, they made me feel so special, food was delicous - I will be coming back! Service was amazing and up for a laugh! Highly reccomended!

Samira was fantastic, a great dinner with massive portions!! Plus byob so can’t go wrong!!

Amazing food , great portions , great service had a lovely vibe and made our friends birthday really special

Samira was the best waitress, it’s rare to have such good service in london, she was so welcoming and put us at ease. The food was incredible. 10/10 reccomend

Samira was so lovely and welcoming and the food was so good. Had such a lovely night would recommend to anyone

10/10 could not recommend more. Such a hidden gem. Great food and great vibes

Phenomenal service, great recommendations for top dishes and amazing waitress who catered for our large group perfectly. Tender meats, rich curries and banging side. We will be back!

Unauthentic, service is rubbish.

All in all, a very successful visit to the restaurant. My father and I were there for dinner and were immediately greeted in a very friendly manner by Hamid. When we were seated he showed us the menu and gave us a recommendation. We were able to share the two dishes and were completely full afterwards. The leg of lamb and the lamb skewer were great. Furthermore, it has to be said that Mira's friendly and very open nature created a very nice atmosphere. The restaurant later became very crowded as many came to break their fast. We felt very comfortable.

Hameid and Samera have given the most excellent service today as always. They made myself and mother feel very welcome and cheerished. The food is DELICIOUS! EVERY SINGLE BITE! I will be back!

Honestly the best food. Delicious and brilliant service for a large party.

Hoy probé algo nuevo y no me decepcionó. El Cordero Karahi estaba lleno de sabor y tenía la cantidad correcta de calor. La carne estaba blanda y acababa de disolverse en mi boca. Esto fue acompañado por un poco de ajo nan recién salido del tandoor y ensalada. La comida es muy buena, el ambiente es agradable con buena decoración. El personal es educado.

Hamid and Samira are great! Best food and best service ever. We come here all the time and love it. The pumpkin is just excellent.

Hamid was so lovely and we had a wonderful experience, very yummy food

We went because we were going to a show at The Kiln Theatre, which is a couple of minutes walk away. We couldn’t have made a better choice. The food is delicious—quite subtle—and good value, and the service was great. (But note they don’t sell alcohol: you BYOB).

The most delicious Afghan food I've ever eaten is cooked in this restaurant. The best bolani and kabuli pilau.

Always an amazing meal at Ariana 2. The leftovers the next day always make me smile :)

Amazing food. Hamid and Sameera were so lovely

Ariana II is an excellent restaurant, for every reason: the food is delicious and plentiful, the menu extensive and the atmosphere warm and friendly. Samira and Rehan, are the perfect hosts providing a superbly efficient service that is warm, friendly and very charming! We have dined at Ariana II three times and enjoyed every occasion without exception. Ariana II is a great choice of restaurant for discerning lovers of specialist Asian cuisine who appreciate quality and service.

Amazing food! Lovely waiter and waitress, makes you feel really welcomed and at home

Exceptional food complimented by exemplary service. Genuine warmth, and attention to detail by the hosts. Keep doing what you are doing 👏

Great food and wonderful customer service

Very Friendly, extremely delicious and authentic

Lovely spot, great big portions of banging food - great rice, lamb shank , kofte, - very friendly staff - thank you to the team

Food was perfect and staff all great, especially samira who made us feel at home x

Fabulous food and amazing service, as always. Has been one of my favourite places to eat in London for over 10yrs now. Byob is always a massive bonus too

Great food, great vibe, and best birthday!

Samira was so lovely 🌹 and helpful with recommendations! She made us feel so welcome, as if we were invited to eat at her home. We enjoyed the refreshing complimentary tea Great family-run restaurant! We loved Hamid too who was super friendly and joyful!

Lovely place, amazing servers, such a nice vibe! Unbelievable amounts of rice, you will not be disappointed

Great food, super kind and friendly service. The rice is absolutely delicious!

From the first step everything was amazing in this restaurant. Very friendly staff, amazing portions and incredible food. Now it's our hidden gem for pre-theatre dinner. Will definitely be back for more!

Delicious lamb Karahi. Samira was very helpful and a lot of fun! Great food and service!

Easily one of my favorite meals in London. The lamb karahi is life changing. The service is heartfelt and funny and genuine. You feel at home immediately. Incredible naan and chili sauce. Delicious tea and baklava to finish. A+++ you simply must try this place.

Absolutely delicious meal. Samira guided us through our order to ensure a good balance of flavours. Wonderful evening!

An incredibly cozy and generous place, with very attentive service. We enjoyed the authenticity of the place and food, which was delicious and plentiful. Definitely recommend ❤️

What an incredible meal, we were blown away by the flavour of every dish we had, seriously one of the best tasting meals I’ve had in my life. Really impressive and memorable meal. Thank you to Hamid and Samira who looked after us for the evening and were absolutely amazing. We will be back asap!

What an excellent meal! Hamid and Sumira really looked after us. The food is incredible - we really recommend the aubergine dish and the lamb karahi. We will be coming back very very soon :)

Samira and Hamid are amazing - so friendly and kind. Delicious food, especially the rice. We had the best evening here.

Wonderful experience at Ariana2, which we stumbled upon on a cold and rainy night, for a warm welcome and delicious food. Great value, great service, and v close to the Kiln theatre BYOB and cash!

THE FOOD IS SO GOOD WITHOUT EXAGGERATION KEBABS TENDER KABULI PILAU WAS ON TOP OK AND THE GARLIC NAAN DO NOT GET ME STARTEDDDD AND MY GIRL SAMIRA IS SO SWEETTT :D

Superb restaurant. Really lovely, calm atmosphere and very delicious food. Thank you to Hamid for some excellent and friendly service. The whole lamb shank in rice is fantastic.

Delicious food, massive portions, great value. Hamid was a wonderfully attentive host

What a lovely restaurant, with great service and such friendly staff. The menu provides super descriptions of the dishes, and offers a great range of vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. The food was delicious and the portions very generous. Altogether a five star experience.

Had a fabulous time with my three friends at Ariana for lunch on Sunday - Hamid is a gracious and funny host. Dishes were amazing with very generous portions, and a wonderful tea to finish off. Would highly recommend this restaurant

Excelente restaurante. Mi pareja y yo fuimos a una comida de teatro antes de nuestro tren a casa. El servicio fue rápido y súper amable. Terminamos haciendo un segundo pedido porque la comida era muy sabrosa, así como saludable - un montón de verduras. En la foto está la comida que llevamos a casa para comer al día siguiente. Volveríamos de nuevo si fuéramos locales.

My family and I’d favourite restaurant in Kilburn. Food is delish and the service is excellent. I could eat their chilli sauce by the bucket!

It's okay, portion sizes are smaller than usual Iranian cuisines I have had, similar foods

This was a lovely place to eat. The food and atmosphere is amazing. The customer service is second to none. We were served by Hamid who was great, we went with his recommendation and was not disappointed. We will definitely be returning and would recommend this restaurant.

Amazing food and great atmosphere. Huge portions and just so delicious! Samira was amazing and really looked after us and made us laugh all evening. Highly recommended!

People willing to try and afghani Iranian cuisine, this is the place for you the service was 10/10 The food was good but I'd say the meat can be cooked better, the rice meat could have been better and the kebab meat was hard to chew :/ 3/5 for the restaurant Additional 1 marks for service So, overall 4/5

My experience at Ariana II was amazing. The food was so delicious and the ambience was nice. I felt as if I was back home with the authentic flavours. Both Samira and Hameed were exceptional, very attentive and hospitable. Would come again 👍

Amazing food and service, thank you Samira and Hamid for the hospitality

This gaf is a must go! From the food to the service. I couldn’t recommend anymore. The flavours of the meat, sauces and marinating were sublime. The ambiance is gorgeous and the people are very warm and impressionable. A wonderful family business which is a pillar to Killburn. Fantastic!

Excelente comida muy cerca del Teatro del Horno. Las porciones son generosas - los dos pedimos la oferta de tres platos Meze por aproximadamente £ 18 cada uno y había mucha más comida de la que los dos podíamos comer - Estoy deseando terminar de almorzar mañana! Las ensaladas eran muy frescas y nuestro Bolanee fue cocinado a pedido para nosotros. El Baunjan Buranee (berenjenas) era delicioso y el hummus excelente. Aquí también hay mucho para los que comen carne. Una comida muy excelente y el personal era encantador. Muy recomendable.
