Ariana II in Brent

Truly delicious food!! The spinach curry and the dumplings were incredible, would highly recommend

Very enjoyable fresh food from such an interesting cuisine, cooked beautifully and served with grace, friendliness and panache. Helpings were large but a box was provided to take away the leftovers. The photograph is from the special meal for two.

Fantastic food! Wonderful service! If your lost with what you should order as Samira she is such a sweet heart!

Fantastic restaurant with incredibly good food. The service was fast and the staff were very knowledgable. They’re great at guiding you through the menu.

Amazing meal, samaria and kamil where brilliant. The lamb and nann especially

hamid is a top G but samira is even more of a G

The only thing better than the food was the service

Lamb shank ( Kabuli Palow ) is insanely good - very generous portion sizes

The best chakni and food is very nice afghan resturant good service too samira😊

Absolutely loved our experience at this Afghan restaurant! The service was exceptional—Hamid was so attentive, and a kind lady went out of her way to make my daughter feel special. They even treated us to complimentary green tea, firni, and chocolate cake for her. Such warm hospitality paired with delicious food makes this place a must-visit!

I went to this restaurant. It's not normal at all Food and hospitality

One of my favourites, will always recommend for anyone wanting Afghan food. Unfortunately unable to go in as often anymore!

Super friendly staff and the food was excellent. Will definitely come again soon 😋

It was never taste it first time today ly was really good taste in Afghan ❤️ thank you for service

A wonderful restaurant. I thoroughly recommend it. Lovely food, and friendly, welcoming staff.

Amazing food and excellent service. We come here a lot; it's the best food on Kilburn High Rd by far. Have tried many different items from the menu and not one of them has disappointed. I particularly love the Kabuli Palow (lamb shank with rice). The meat falls off the bone and the rice is so flavorful.

Great traditional, delicious food with a lovely atmosphere and friendly service.

I have visited this restaurant tonight and the service was wonderful- very attentive and warm staff- shared a lovely interesting conversation with them and their food recommendations were great 😀 we had the kabli pilau, sage, kidney beans, green tea and firni - will definitely be back!

Wonderful place to eat. I had Kabuli pulao and its amazing. The kidney beans are also wonderful. And the staff is the best there could be.

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 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

I was never taste it first time today It was really good taste in afghan Thank you for service. Love it

Best kabuli pilau I’ve had. Sara and Hamid are great and best service. Happy with the food and price. Will visit again

Every dish we ordered was so delicious and service was amazing. The naan and kabuli palow were especially good.

We had a great family meal here at Ariana II. Hamid and Samira were great hosts and the food is divine! Come with an empty stomach!

We had a lovely lunch at Ariana II. The food was delicious and the service was so friendly. Many thanks to Hamid and Samira; we’ll definitely be back!

Really tasty food and amazing service! Portions are very generous as well! Thanks to Hamid and Samira for making us feel very welcome

Delicious food and service. Hamid and Samira served wonderful food. Thanks

We arrived late after a London trip just before closing and were welcomed with smiles and accomodation by the lovely Samira. Her kindness and generosity were only bettered by the fantastic flavours of the food. Afghan food is unique and not at all like that of it's neighbours, if you haven't had it before, please try it here. Wonderful food, comfortable and atmospheric restaurant, and kind and helpful staff. Thank you for a great introduction to Afghani food.

Best lamb shank I come two a week for my takeaway!

What a gem of a restaurant! We had a delicious meal served by friendly staff in a lovely restaurant with a great atmosphere. I highly recommend and look forward to visiting again.

Hamid was our waiter, excellent, demure, professional. The food was spectacular, and value amazing too! Outside of London you’d struggle to find food as good, let alone inside. We had the grill for two, and shared a dumplings starter. Picture attached.

Always an excellent experience. Food was 10/10 as usual! Perfect service from hosts!

We had the best night at Ariana II! The starters and Kabuli Palau were excellent and the staff were amazing, really warm and friendly. Will definitely be coming back!

Hummus is really delicious!! I went alone, but it was nice enough, and the staff were friendly. The lamb kebabs are really big. Recommended!!

Nice food and good service, Great atmosphere. Thank you Samira and Hamid. See you soon Definitely recommend

Tonight we had a delicious ghaboli and lamb cabab ,thank you so much to Hamid and samira for their warm hospitality, I feel home,and I strongly recommend you to come and enjoy your meal at this friendly place 🥰

Our large group of 12 was well looked after by Samira so thank you very much! food is delicious and amazing value for money we will be back !

Fantastic gem, the food here is amazing, reminiscent of Turkish/Persian with a unique palette. Staff is extremely nice and the BYOB policy is a great value add. Great to see this family outfit thriving with branches on both sides of the pond. Will definitely come back one day, it's worth the trek!

Amazing food and even better service!

Amazing experience, the best food ever and Samira was the best host!! We loved it and would highly recommend

Food was absolutely top drawer. Samira is by far one of the best 'front of house managers' I've had the pleasure of meeting. Would recommend to anyone who's looking for quality, home cooked food with love 😀

Lovely customer service from both Hameed and Sameera, they were both very hospitable. Really enjoyed my time there. 🙂 Food was not very delicious however, especially for the price! The Karahi was just some tomatoes and onions mixed with Lamb and not thoroughly cooked. Same goes for the Rice!

Great Afghan restaurant with attentive and friendly staff and delicious food! Highly recommend

Fantastic service from Hamid and Samira - friendly, attentive and helpful. Really enjoy eating here!! Would thoroughly recommend.

Frinee was very tasty good food and service

I had a great 👍 kabuli pulao...

great food, good service and very friendly, very nice experience, so highly recommended, thanks for good service

Brilliant food and exceptional customer service. I'm coming again!!

Great food & Sameera’s customer service is top tier.

Tasty food & friendly staff! I contacted them after ordering a chicken kebab to say I forgot to add a naan! And the loveliest sister / manager simply said “don’t worry it’s on the house!”. Most restaurants don’t care to keep their customers happen! Ariana II isn’t one of these restaurants! And on top of that it’s one of the best Afgani Food you can taste in London❤️ I haven’t been to score the atmosphere but I can’t wait to visit!

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.

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!

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

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.

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

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

samira was an amazing host and the food was excellent

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 ‼️‼️‼️💯💯💯

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

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

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 having Afghan cuisine. Fantastic! Excellent service too

Excellent food, amazing staff! Would recommend

Amazing food and lovely warm service :)

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

Amazing food and super friendly service

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

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!

Lovely BYO restaurant, fresh, delicious food, friendly and generous staff and servings. Will be back :)

Really amazing service and food was great💗

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
