Ariana Restaurant - Afghanische Spezialitäten in Hamburg

Good place to have lunch or dinner. Very delicious tea with beautifully served teapot and sugar. Delicious meat. Server speaks English)

Very delicious food and a calm atmosphere friendly staff.

Highly recommended! Especially for lunch. Super tasty and very fast, nice service!

I am Afghani myself. Today there were three of us in Restaurant Ariana and we ate very shitty and very expensive three great kababs for €100 and it didn't taste good at all And I recommend best restaurant Chopan Kabab For five people. We paid €80 and we got 2x Kabab, 1x qabli, 1x China Key super, everything.

Very tasty authentic food, gladly again

By far the best Afghan restaurant we have ever visited. The staff is super nice and friendly. The food is an absolute culinary delight. Really one of our Hamburg highlights. Here quality meets a great price-performance ratio. We look forward to our visit.

Delicious food, But I'm not entirely satisfied with the staff. 🙃

A great Afghan restaurant with its own creations, delicious deserts and great meat. There is no alcohol here. We had chicken or lamb skewer and it was very good. The dessert was a bit out of the ordinary, but it was delicious. There is also a changing lunch menu.

Very tasty food, nice atmosphere and great staff! A little old, but that doesn't bother me at all! Hope you'll be around for a long time!

We spontaneously ended up in this restaurant today and will definitely come back. Delicious food (lots of lamb and chicken of course, but also a few vegan dishes), great homemade soft drinks (no alcohol of course). Great value for money. All in all highly recommended 👍🏻

Wonderful restaurant with extremely friendly, courteous service. We felt very comfortable here. We were given extensive advice when choosing the dishes. Everything was fresh and very tasty. We would love to come back when we are back in HH. Thank you for the wonderful evening.

The toilets are downstairs and gross and the workers are rude and it's weird

Combination was so bad as well as quantity. Really disappointed and as much expensive

The customer service was really bad. They don't know how to serve. The food doesn't taste good. We ordered two different dishes but they tasted the same because they used the same sauce. When we asked her to pack the food for us, the lady brought the box and the bag. She told us to pack it ourselves. Think carefully before going to this restaurant.

We came here for the first time. I've been living in Hamburg for a long time, but I regret not seeing this place before. Because the taste of the food and the friendliness of the employees will make me come back again and again. According to the price, the portions are extremely filling and the prices are affordable. One word perfect place

Food was cooked perfect with just the right amount of seasoning and the fruit tea was a refreshing beverage to end the day with. Very nice service and the price seems right to me. I will visit again...

Delicious! Absolutely recommended. Slightly different cuisine, but if you like Indian or Chinese, this isn't wrong either. Reasonable prices for the portion. Very nice service, with friendly advice. Whenever I'm in Hamburg, I'll come back here straight away. The ambience... well ok. Food is important to me. Update August 20th : Under no circumstances go to the toilet there, it's clean but the smell from the drain spoils everything. Food is still TOP

Good food! The price is not low. To put it another way, the men's bathrooms are a bit disgusting.

The mantu was great. The varnish (desert) are huge. One is enough for 3 people.

Very friendly staff and incredibly delicious food. If we could, we would give it 6 stars! We are full and satisfied and would love to come back ☺️

Spectacular food almost made me cry with joy with every bite. Simply super delicious. Traditionally Afghan prepared. Very happily fed up. PS: definitely use the brown rice :)

Very satisfied and the dishes are really delicious.

We were well fed. Great selection of dishes (also many vegan dishes), nice service - would be happy again :)

We went there spontaneously for lunch today and were pleasantly surprised. The food was simply delicious. We'd love to come back. There was nothing to complain about.

The place is super nice and very pleasant for a meal. The food was super tasty. I rate it 10 out of 10. Plus, the owner and waitress were really nice and I felt really comfortable during the meal. In any case, I recommend you stop by there and try out the delicious Afghan food.

Excellent Halal Afganistanian food, people there were so friendly,there are different opinions in the menu no AC so we had to stay out side and was little bit noisy, Prices are little pricey . It’s worth to visit

The foods are delicious. We've ordered chicken with rice on top of it carrots. Also, we have potatoes red sauce. I strongly recommend it.

Was in Hamburg for a week and was looking for halal food. Luckily for me I came across this place on my first day. I came here about three times during the week and I have to say it was the best place I came across in Hamburg. The staff are super nice and helpful. They spoke English which was an issue in some places. Their food was tasty as well! Highly recommend

A great restaurant in every respect

Very friendly staff, testy fresh food.

It's worth stopping by here not only because of the express hospitality, but also because of the delicious food. The vegetarian selection is huge.

We came here for the first time and were really happy with the excellent quality of the food and service. We will be back definitely.

The lamb kebab chapati is very delicious.. I usually order that .. and quite filling too Even their homemade ice teas are a must try

My first experience with Afghan cuisine here was extremely pleasant. Very balanced menu, delicious food, very friendly service. Great!

Super delicious food - the most tender lamb in the world.

I've been to Ariana's for lunch several times and can only recommend it. The portions are decent and the taste is very good. Back when the owners still offered pizza, it was good. However, it was exactly the right decision to bring their regional cuisine to Hamburg 😋

Nur ein paar Schritte von der Haupteinkaufsstraße Mönckebergstr. entfernt fanden wir durch Zufall das Ariana. Klar, von der Möblierung und der Ausstattung ein sehr einfaches Restaurant, aber eben auch ein sehr angepasstes Preisniveau. Wir waren von der Freundlichkeit des Services und der Geschmacksvielfalt des Essens wirklich begeistert. Das Fleisch war auf den Punkt, der Wareneinsatz hochwertig, die Drinks lecker. So soll es sein. Klare Weiterempfehlung. Immer wieder gerne.

Very tasty food and a decent portion. I wanted to have a starter beforehand, which the waitress advised me against because of the portion size of the main course. The homemade drink is not bad, but not quite my cup of tea. You have to like that. The service is very friendly. I'd love to come back.

The food there is phenomenal. Nice and quiet ambience. I can only recommend!

super delicious food (also vegan & vegetarian), friendly staff! We personally didn't like the ambience that much, but that wasn't dramatic either.

Really great food, great portion sizes and incredibly nice service. Gladly again

By far the tastiest Afghan food in Hamburg is here!!

The combo plate was delicious, the service is excellent, highly recommended.

We were there on Saturday, everything looked nice and cozy. We ordered a grill plate and 2 dough. I personally found the grill plate for 26 euros very little and in the end my husband paid 55.40, of course not looking at the bill. 18 euros collected too much. See pictures. Let's say 5 euros for chatny or yoghurt but 13 euros too much, that's not nice...

Very courteous, friendly service. Of the dishes, both the minced lamb and the burger were highly recommended and pleasantly seasoned. There is also a very good selection of drinks. Feel free to try the original Afghan variants, of course best recommended on a hot summer day - but also very refreshing on a warm April day!

Delicious food and good ambience at fair prices. Unfortunately it took an extremely long time until we got our food. While guests who arrived later than us had already received their food, we had to wait a full 40 minutes for the food from the time we ordered. Otherwise everything was great.

Afghan cuisine in the middle of the city. Lunch dishes between 10 and 15 euros. Service quick and friendly.

Wonderfully done Afghan food! Their Ariana burger is one of the most creative burgers I have seen.

I liked the taste and quality of food so much. The servings here are a bit large, you may prefer sharing. What attracted me was the very nice and polite behaviour of the staff.

Nice homemade food, especially the minced meat was good - mixed with herbs and spices. They don't serve alcohol but have really nice, fresh softdrinks. The place was very busy and only 1 waiter. She did her very best but it was hard to get to order etc.

The Afghan Restaurant offers an outstanding selection of authentic, home-made Afghan dishes that are not available anywhere else in Hamburg. A real taste experience!

Employee is on the phone all the time!!! Very annoying 🙄 And the food wasn't fresh!

The staff was super friendly and the food tasted really good. We had a great time there.

Incredibly delicious, the rice, the lamb, the grilled skewer… everything was perfect. The nice owner rounds everything off

We went here for dinner for the first time and were very pleasantly surprised. The food was very delicious and delicious, Afghan Kebab is also very tasty and especially the rice was fascinating. Very nice service and great atmosphere, I can only recommend it! Price-performance ratio very good.

Everything was great again 👍 really highly recommended 👍

Wir wollten nach der Arbeit in der Stadt als Paar lecker essen gehen. Aufgrund der positiven Bewertungen haben wir uns für das Ariana entschieden. Das Essen (Grillteller) war wirklich sehr lecker. Das Fleisch hatte eine tolle Schärfe. Allerdings ist das Restaurant nicht wirklich geeignet für einen romantischen Abend. Es war ziemlich leer, die Musik dafür recht laut. Außerdem - das mag jeder anders sehen - gehört für mich zu einem guten Essen auch ein Glas Wein. Alkoholische Getränke werden dort allerdings nicht angeboten. Daher einen Punkt Abzug.

We felt welcome in the cozy restaurant, the service was very friendly. The main courses were great, only the small salad was a lot to eat. The prices were reasonable. Clear recommendation.

Best dish I have eaten in a while! The Chicken was so tender and the rice spiced right. The Bread and Dip was also good but unfortunately we we're too full to finish it. We'll defintely be back!

We came across the restaurant by chance and were very pleasantly surprised. We were impressed by both the tasty grilled skewers and the courteous service. Small children are welcome here and special requests are catered for. The restaurant is worth a visit!

Honestly Amazing restaurant in Hamburg Center, unbelievable test and great service

A very nice restaurant, really cozy with friendly service. The food is traditional Afghan and was able to convince me personally. I can only recommend it for a nice meal with friends or family.

Very, very tasty, best Afghan restaurant in Hamburg

Meget hyggelig restaurant. Virkelig veltilberedt mad. Venligt personale. Autentisk og krydret mad uden at være stærkt. Rimelige priser.

The dishes are super tasty and the lunch menu is also highly recommended. The service is always friendly and tries to accommodate even short-term requests. I always like to come back.

I ate in Arabian Nights today. What more can you expect. Tender, well-seasoned meat grilled to perfection. Dark rice cooked in a lamb stock. Delicious, local lemonade. Everything freshly prepared. There is also super friendly service where you can learn a lot about the origins of the food. Thanks.

Nice place in the centre of Hamburg for delicious Afghan food! Restaurant has quiet and relaxing atmosphere and staff is really friendly. Food is very tasty and not (too) spicy portions are good and price fits the quality! Whether you are in to try something new or different or are familiar with Afghan food, i can highly recommend this place.

Very tasty food and good service

Super friendly and great food, whether you're a vegetarian or not - there's something for everyone. With such lovely people and courteous service, your heart simply opens! I strongly recommend it!

Very tasty and cheap food for the location. Unfortunately, on our first visit the service was a bit overwhelmed, it took 20 minutes and one request to put 2 bottles of mineral water plus 4 glasses on the table, brought the wrong food 3 times in a row and forgot to pass a dish on to the kitchen. But we weren't in a hurry, the restaurant is very cozy and nice and warm. Once everyone had the right food, all four of us enjoyed it very much. We will be back!

Every time I sit here I say I have to rate them and today is the day. The food is so delicious. The staff and service are so good. Anyone who lives in Hamburg is lucky to have delicious food here. I wish they had the same store in Cologne too. I highly recommend the food and this shop.

The food is very interesting and very tasty. Also very spicy. The ambience is something different. The staff was extremely friendly and the homemade iced tea was incredibly delicious!

Great food and incredibly friendly service!

The ambience was very nice, the food was very tasty but unfortunately too much for me. I can definitely recommend it and will come back. The waiter who served me was also very friendly and accommodating

Had dinner here with a friend yesterday, the food was delicious and the service was great!

I was there for dinner with a friend. For me there was Korma Gosht (lamb in spicy tomato sauce) and, as a starter, Bolani Gandana (dumpling with leek and yogurt-cilantro dip). Plus a drink called Dogh, made from yogurt with herbs, mint and cucumber. The food was extremely tasty and was served pleasantly quickly in the not very busy restaurant. The young man who served us was extremely friendly and all in all we had a pleasant time in a nice atmosphere. The only negative point was the somewhat monotonous background music, a constant "plucking" on an oriental stringed instrument that didn't change significantly over the entire course of our visit, which I don't know what it's called. That was a bit tiring. Otherwise everything was really very satisfactory, good food, nice service and at prices that I would classify in the middle range. Clear recommendation.

We were here for the second time and we are thrilled! Everything is wonderfully seasoned, the chicken is so juicy, the service is very friendly and helpful. This is our new favorite restaurant!

Wonderful experience, delicious food, very kind and attentive staff. For now the best restaurant I found in Hamburg. I will definitely go back

We were in the mood for something special to eat on a day trip to Hamburg and spontaneously decided on the Ariana Restaurant. We received a very friendly welcome and were then able to open the menu digitally on our smartphones. Shortly afterwards we were able to order. First there was a little greeting from the kitchen, which made you want more, it was so delicious. When the food and drinks arrived, the excitement only grew! It was an incredibly delicious experience and all the dishes were very fairly priced. We will definitely come back again and can warmly recommend the restaurant to everyone.

Super delicious food and lovely service

Auf der Suche nach einem etwas anderem essen, sind wir zufällig in Hamburg hier gelandet: die Bedienung ist freundlich und zuvor kommend. Wir hatten die Platte für zwei Personen. Insgesamt eher Zuviel als zu wenig. Meinen Hinweis , die Teller vorzuwärmen, damit das Essen länger heiß bleibt, hat die Bedienung freundlich aufgenommen. In jedem Fall empfehlenswert ist der selbstgemachte Erfrischungstrink. Und zum Essen die selbstgemachte grüne, scharfe Soße 😉

The place and the staff are very friendly. The kebab there was amazing. For the rice I think this is the best rice I've ever eat in my life.

Sehr authentisches und leckeres Essen. Tolle, freundliche Mitarbeiter, was will man mehr! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Leckeres authentisches Essen in einer ruhigen Umgebung. Die Wartezeit nach der Bestellung war etwas länger, jedoch hat sich das warten gelohnt. Super gewürzt und sehr ordentliche Portionen! Es gibt zudem zahlreiche vegane/vegetarische Gerichte. 🌱 Wir kommen wieder!

Wir haben kurzfristig an einem Samstag Tisch reservieren können. Wir wurden sehr nett empfangen. Tolles afghanisches Essen, Preis-Leistung stimmt. Absolute Empfehlung 👍🏻

Sehr leckeres Essen, ausgesprochen symphatischer Service

Das Essen war sehr lecker - authentisch afghanische Küche! Preis & Leistung im Einklang. Das Servicespersonal ist sehr aufmerksam und freundlich. Bei einem Missverständnis bezüglich eines Teil der Bestellung wurde mit Verständnis und Menschlichkeit reagiert. Eine absolute Empfehlung und wir werden wieder kommen!

Das Ariana ist ein Restaurant wo man wirklich richtig gut afghanisch essen gehen kann. Die Mitarbeiter sind super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Hier gehen wir sehr gern wieder hin

Food was great and very authentic! Staff was really nice as well, would totally recommend going there!

Sehr nettes personal und freundlich. Die Grillplatte für zwei Personen war sehr lecker. Das Fleisch war köstlich, genau wie erwartet. Ein absolutes Muss für Liebhaber afghanischer Küche!

Das Personal ist super freundlich, hilfsbereit und aufmerksam. Das Essen war wirklich gut, jedes Gericht, welches wir bestellt haben, hat ausgezeichnet geschmeckt. Die Teigtaschen (Ashak und Mantu) waren perfekt abgeschmeckt und die Zutaten sind sehr frisch. Das Fleisch bei jedem Gericht war sehr zart. Die Getränke waren ebenfalls super gut. Dieses Restaurant ist eine echte Empfehlung!

I had the Kabuli Pulao with grilled chicken and Bolani kachalu. The chicken was well-grilled, but the rice was way too dry. The Sharbat aubalu (drink) was refreshing. I have had way better authentic Afghani food than the one at Ariana.

The Afghani Kebab and avocado salad with kebab were amazing. Waiting duration was short and they are serving breadcrumbs with sauce. I liked the place 💙

Das Essen war wirklich hervorragend. Die Geschmacksvielfalt und die Qualität der Gerichte haben mich beeindruckt. Das Ambiente und der Service waren ebenfalls top. Ich werde definitiv wiederkommen und kann dieses Restaurant uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen!

Unglaublich leckeres Essen! Freundliches und hilfreiches Personal. Besten Kebabs die ich je gegessen habe!

Sehr lecker, mal was anderes. Ganz andere Gewürze. Sehr leckeres Essen.

Sehr sehr lecker! Alles wird frisch zubereitet und auf Wünsche wird auch eingegangen. Die Bedienung ist freundlich und berät bei Bedarf gern. Das Essen ist super! Gut gewürzt ohne scharf zu sein. Das Fleisch ist super saftig. Wir werden definitiv bald wiederkommen!

Sehr lecker! Große Portionen! Sehr nettes Personal! Rund um zufrieden.

Wir sind spontan in dieses Restaurant und waren echt begeistert. Es hat super geschmeckt und die Portionen waren echt groß. Auch der Service war super. Empfehlung geht raus!

The place is big enough to accommodate our big group of people who make a last minute reservation. The waiters speak good English and really helpful. Example I prefer rice over fries and she make the customise to me. Highly appreciate. It’s a non alcohol place. They serve with good food and halal meat
