Ariana II in Brent

This was one of the best meals I’ve had in a while. I have never tried Afghan food and am happy I have now. Excellent food quality and portion size was very generous. Very well done to a great restaurant and will be visiting again soon!

I’ve been craving Afghan kabuli pilau for a while and Ariana II was highly recommended. The food was so so delicious; it totally blew my expectations out of the water. We ordered the kabuli pilau, the kofta kebab, hummus and bread. Every single dish was 10/10 but the rice was the star. The lamb shank was so tender, falling off the bone and the kebabs were incredibly juicy. Whatever they put in their mint sauce, I want it everywhere! My mouth is watering just reminiscing the flavours so good job we got some to take away. The host was so incredibly kind and generous. Thank you so much 🩷

Very generous portions of food- and delicious. The meat was very tender. Service was wonderful- my child was provided with colouring pencils and paper. Would definitely recommend.

Delicious food, lovely service and great atmosphere. Perfect place for dinner with pals!

Went out for dinner with the family the quality of food was amazing, tender meat, delicious rice and sides, authentic flavour. The staff were helpful and kind, going out of their way to ensure you have a good experience. The atmosphere caters for all and is family friendly. We highly recommend this place!

Very tasty afghani food and great value for money!

Food was delicious and the service was amazing. Such lovely people

We ate here last week and was the first time we tried afghani food. Was delicious, definitely try the minced lamb kebabs. Great service and very friendly staff

Food is excellent!! Especially the traditional rice and the kebabs...oh and the dumplings...oh and the lamb hidden inside the rice...!!! Yum!! Staff is always very polite and accommodating. Been here a few times and I'll keep visiting! The only downside is that you'll need to have cash with you. No card payments.

Amazing servers, Samira in particular was brilliant. She was attentive, had great knowledge of the menu and was warm and friendly. Food was brilliant and affordable. Got a sharing platter for 4 and was great value for money particularly with being able to bring your own booze. Would highly recommend

Was amazing food and sarima was such a fun and lovely waiter

samira was an amazing host and the food was excellent

A very quiet Tuesday evening- The food was absolutely divine and excellent service from Hamid! Brilliant fresh authentic food!

One of the best restaurants in london hands down. Food is very authentic. Man like Hamid is a top G. He held it down fr. 10/10 i am coming here once a month for the rest of my life. Big up Hamid ‼️‼️‼️💯💯💯

The food is amazing and the portions are very big. I had the lamb and the chicken and they were delicious! The service is also very good and the staff is very nice

First time I tried Afghan food. Amazing experience. Such a diverse and rich food.

Ariana II is the only restaurant I have ever been to that made me feel like a regular the first time I walked in. There is an intense feeling of comfort and familiarity for even a first time visit. I never knew I liked Afghan food until I stumbled across this Kilburn gem. A true north west london treat. Go, eat, enjoy the rice. And the mint tea is the one 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Excellent food, amazing staff! Would recommend

Amazing food and lovely warm service :)

First time having Afghan cuisine. Fantastic! Excellent service too

The restaurant is delicious 👌 The service is excellent and the menu is varied and large My order was a set menu for two people, a large plate of capli pilaf with lamb, shish tawook, salad and dessert, and I added a very very delicious Afghan yoghurt and a plate of lentils 😋 Good health and wellness to you in advance

Amazing local spot! Great service and great food!

Great local restaurant, with attentive staff. Well priced, tasty food with generous portions. Been enjoying for over 10 years

AMAZING authentic food and such lovely service (Hamid!!!). Would 100% recommend and will be back!

The food is incredible. I especially loved the the pumpkin starter. And the veggie plate was delicious. The staff are so welcoming and helpful. Can't wait to return!

First time me and my husband visited this restaurant and we weren't disappointed. The service was excellent and Samira was delightful to chat to and very accommodating. The food was delicious too .

Spent the loveliest Saturday afternoon here with family. The lamb shank was amazing, as were all of the side dishes, teas, and desserts. Even better was the service: everyone working here was super friendly and attentive. I’ll be back

Everything was great. Food was very tasty. Samira helped us select the perfect food of the menu to our liking. She knew the menu very well and it was nice being able to try so many dishes. Great service! We’ll be back

Amazing food and super friendly service

This was our first time at Ariana and we were amazed at how delicious and fresh the food was! Also an amazing service, and reasonable prices. Me and my friend will definitely want to be back!

Everything is truly amazing, some of the most delicious Afghan food I have ever eaten

A gem, great service and lovely food. Thank you for your hospitality, will definitely be coming again!

Really amazing service and food was great💗

Delicious food, very friendly staff, loved it here!

Would give it a 0. Disgusting customer service and food quality very poor. Don't waste your money in this place!! There's a reason why it's never busy in there, the atmosphere and food is atrocious!

Great food Great service Delicious mantu and firnee

Great mix of rice and kebabs, most likely the best rice I’ve ever tasted. 😋 great customer service and will definitely come back again

Fabulous customer service . The best afghan food in London. Highly recommended.

Great atmosphere and authentic food !

Flavoursome, full of amazing spices and taste food, friendly service and incredible atmosphere. Highly recommend !!!

A kilburn classic, for good reason. Outstanding food. Service was fantastic. Waiter was attentive and friendly. Highly recommended.

Excellent customer service! My mum and I visited for the first time on 30/09. The food was really good but what made our experience even better was the customer service. The waiter was so kind and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. He even offered us tea on the house as my mum and I sat chatting for ages. Definitely worth a visit.

What can I say except go go go. Most amazing good fresh food and staff that really care that you have a beautiful meal and enjoy Afghan cuisine. I mean they go above and beyond in the care department and everything we are scrumptious. We had Kabuli Palow recommended by the waiter , a mix beg dish of two half’s ,Okra( ladies fingers ) and kidney beans. A bowl of spinch and steam dumplings. Three of us are and we could have fed a 4th person. Really good price and our belly’s were happy. Went again later that day to introduce the place to other friends and ordered the same for them. They were very very happy. A wonderful place and I wished there was a good a place in Birmingham. More trips to Ariana when in london for sure. Thank you.

First timing coming here and we had lovely food and service. Would highly recommend the lamb shank and the Baclava. Hameed and Samira were great servers.

Thanks to Hamid and Samira - a lovely evening with amazing food and service!

Food was divine and service was incredible. Everyone was charming and funny and made us feel right at home!

Samira & Hamid were fantastic. The great service was a highlight throughout the evening. The food was tasty, I would recommend the aubergine curry.

Incredible food and the service is the most welcoming I’ve ever experienced in London. Would 100% recommend!

Excellent food and even better hospitality. Must try when around Kilburn

Lovely staff and great food. Would definitely return

This is my first time in Ariana 2 and i ate Qabili, Okara, Dogh, turshi, and chai siya (black tea) was very delicious 🤤 very tasty 😋 and also the service was Superb iam very thankful 🙏 to you Ariana2 and Sameera Jan.

Best vibes and food 10 on 10 authentic. Kabuli pilau and mandu very tasty.

Hamid delivered an excellent customer service that made our evening great. Both the food and the service was absolutely fabulous. I will definitely will be coming back. I highly recommend Ariana 2, and Hamid helped us to pick up the right dish and his service was very polite and helpful. A super dining experience.

I always enjoy my time here. The food is always tasty and fresh, full of flavour. Hamid always makes sure to make you feel welcome and is a good laugh. Thank you Ariana 2

I’d give 10 stars for the customer service! I had the Kaboli Polo, and it was amazing. Both the green tea and black tea were excellent. Will be back again soon!

The food was really flavourful, the service was friendly and generous and a peasant atmosphere with good authentic music. Would come back!

Great food, friendly and generous service, pleasant atmosphere

Iv been coming here for years- the food is amazing and they let you byob. Value for money is also on point. This is an iconic north west london restaurant - family run and we’ve had the best service for years. Their chilli sauce is to die for and you can also buy a bottle

Lovely little restaurant with amazing food, really interesting cocktails and wonderful friendly staff. a friend has been raving about them for years and I was so glad to finally visit! Did not disappoint

The food was amazing, and the service was friendly and quick. Wholeheartedly recommend!

Ariana II is our favourite local restaurant! The food never disappoints and we’ve visited many times! The portions are generous, the price is reasonable and the food is absolutely delicious. There are fantastic vegetarian options too. The staff are always friendly and make us feel at home. Whenever we have family visit we take them here for dinner as it really is one of the best restaurants London has to offer!

Amazing food. Amazing team. 10/10 would recommend to a friend.

Had my birthday party here. The team were really accommodating as usual! Great food and great vibes as always. Highly recommend

Nice plsce, clean, nice food, sam was very nice to deal with

Very lovely Restaurant, great food, huge portions! Very good experience, would definitely recommend!

Great, plentiful food, fantastic service

Came for the food, came back again and again for the staff and service.

Stopped for dinner a couple of weeks ago and have found a new fave spot. The food was delicious, servers were really friendly and loved the ambience. We’d ordered the Kabuli pulow, Mantu, Chicken Karahi w/ Naan and some Mango Lassi. The flavours were spot-on, the meat was tender and the rice well-done. We also tried some of the baklava and mint tea which really completed the meal. Would love to come back to try more dishes.

Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend the Kofte Kebab

First time eating Afghan food and this place was amazing! The lamb was really tasty and the rice delicious. Great service and will come back

Food very good staff treat me like family Afghans must try here fresh food and good vegetarian option

Fantastic service, loved the food, would definitely come back again !

This is such a great restaurant. Lovely service, distinctive and delicious Afghan food and a no charge, no fuss BYO policy. This is our second meal here and the quality remains excellent. Highly recommended

Absolutely delicious food and excellent service. The staff are so wonderful and friendly. The portion sizes are good and most of all, the food is so tasty. Complimentary mint tea was given at the end which made the entire experience great from start to finish. The price was also very good. I would highly recommend and will be returning with my family and friends.

Brilliant food, service and atmosphere. Definitely recommend.

The place is very nice and the food is fantastic, also the people working here are really friendly n amazing

Lovely and friendly. Appreciated the free tea refill.

Service was so thoughtful and really attentive! Thank you!

Excellent across the board! In particular the service was great. The food was lovely as well as the customer service. It also wasn’t too pricy so you get some good bang for your buck! In a pretty good location and I would highly recommend it if you’re in the area.

Great atmosphere, food was lovely. The service from Hamid and Wahid was amazing. Would recommend this store.

Wonderful experience. Lovely food.

Such a great place to go after catching a play at the theatre. The service was impeccable and Samira was so friendly and welcoming. But the real star was the food! It was stunning, especially the Mantu and the homemade chilli sauce! Would definitely recommend!

Delightful Afghan restaurant with charming and helpful staff. Lots of fine food to chose from with an excellent choice of starters and very tasty mains. We had a great selection of dishes to share and none disappointed, each one was great, in particular the meat dishes were especially succulent. There's also an excellent choice for vegetarians so one can happily eat here too. If you're in the area I would definitely recommend it for a hearty meal with great service.

We had the most lovely dinner out at Arianna II. The food was fantastic and the service even better. One of our party is a vegan and the staff were so accommodating and knowledgable about the dishes that accessing the menu was a breeze. In particular we’d like to highlight Samira who was so friendly and vibrant. Her banter and hospitality really made the experience! On a final note we really recommend the chatni sauce. Homemade on site and available to purchase - safe to say we bought a few bottles home!

Service was very very good (thank you Samira for your hosting) and the food was delicious, well priced and came out very quickly. Thanks - we will be back

Everything about this restaurant is amazing. Super friendly and brilliant food. There is nothing that can make this restaurant better.

Totally worth the journey from east London - this food was genuinely incredible, service was so kind and attentive, will definitely be coming here again!!

Oh man, had a great evening’s meal yesterday. Got their kebabs, lamb karahi, naan, pulau and mango lassi, everything’s cooked really well and good portion sizes too. Got to try their baklava and tea too. The best part (yeah, even more than the food) was the staff, very friendly and hospitable. The whole time with them was definitely an experience. Good seating spaces inside, definitely recommend.

Really tasty food and amazing service. Samira was so welcoming and lovely! Definitely be coming back again.

Went here for my friends birthday, it was my first time tasting Afghan food, absolutely delicious and filling I had to take some home, portions were massive and the dishes were engulfed with wonderful flavours- a wonderful experience! ❤️
