I ordered the beef solvaski platter with Greek potatoes, rice, pita bread and beef with greek salad. The food was delicious with amazing flavors. The waitress was very professional, knowledgeable, and on point from order to end. I will be back.

The food was definitely worth the wait. Everything was full of flavor, 10/10 would come back and try every item on the menu because that’s how good this plate was! Michael Peter was a dedicated and attentive server.

This is one of my favorite Greek restaurants. It may take awhile to get your food but that is because it’s cooked fresh and it’s delicious . The staff is always pleasant and attentive, we have even met the chef and owner a few times and he is just as pleasant . I really like the home made salad dressing , we always ask for extra and the homemade tzatziki sauce is also really good. We also enjoy the smaller atmosphere of it all . It’s our go to when we want Greek food.

Ariana Greek Restaurant sounds like a place where you’ll eat gyros and olives. But surprise! The food is actually 80% Afghan. Greek name, Afghan kitchen — identity crisis on a plate.
Still, who cares about the passport of the food? It was delicious. Whether it came from Greece, Afghanistan, or Mars, my stomach gave it five stars. ⭐

The chef and owner was so personable and came to every table to make sure everything was good. Our server was also a very attentive and kind person. I had the chicken souvlaki gyro and my dad had the pastitsio. Mine was excellent, the chicken tender and pita warm and fresh. My dads was heavy and thick and room temperature, we also ordered Pinot Grisio and it was warm not cold or even cool. We definitely will be back to try more dishes and and some appetizers.

What a great experience! My husband and I decided to try this place and had a lovely dinner – great ambiance, festive decorations and music playing, great service, and delicious greek food. It is a family owned restaurant, and the owner/chef is from Athens Greece and makes everything himself – he came out during our meal to say hello and ask how everything was. We enjoyed the Greek (Turkish) coffee, and appetizer of grape leaves, and a lamb and a chicken dish. All was fantastic. We’ll be back to try more on the menu, as everything sounded delicious. A great date night spot that doesn’t break the bank.

A very enjoyable experience! The food is so great every time and cooked to perfection. The chef and wait staff are very personable, always seeking to meet your needs and ensure the food and experience is to your liking. Ariana’s is by far my go-to restaurant, and you cannot go wrong with anything on the menu! The chicken karahi is a must try!

Food didn’t taste bad but wasn’t delicious either. Portions were small for prices. Ordered Dolmades and Spanakopita appetizers, you only got 4 pieces of each. Ordered Gyros and they were small as well. Service was slow even though we were the only 2 people in there. Unfortunately wasn’t impressed!

Good food and great service! Overall a good experience.
We did a takeout and the restaurant stayed open a little bit after their hours for us to pick it up. Works very well when most of the places close at 8 or 9pm.
Tried Chicken Kebob, Kadu and Vegetable Sambosa. All of it delicious! Tried Kadu and Sambosa for the first time, really happy that we did. Kadu has this really nice cardamom flavor and smell. Sambosa was very flavorful and delicuous. Chicken Kabob came with flavored brown rice alongside white rice white – great addition.
