Ariana Restaurant in Frankfurt am Main

I spent 1 night in Frankfurt and the restaurant was close to my hotel. I cheked the reviews first and then went to try the Qabili Pulau, 8€ for this tasty dish that hides a piece or beef under the rice, recommended but it can feed 2 people easily. I didn't order the salad and the bread that came as standard. I spent quiet some time waiting for someone to take my order, I had to rise my hand to get attention in the end. After ordering, the food arrived in less than 2 minutes. The rice + coke was 12,5€, good price for the portion. Mixed feeling about the atmosphere, I was close to the door and many people were moving around or just casually chatting next to my table, even touching my empty chair with their hand while speaking with one of the workers. Many people were ordering to take away also. When you finish you pay at the counter.

Came here for the grilled sekh but what actually impressed me was the No.29 Qabili!! It look very normal but it taste really nice 🤤 grilled sekh was ok also but I will go back for Qabili instead of the grilled item 😂 The dessert was just so so in my opinion … don’t really recommend the dessert tbh

Afghani Food In Frankfurt.. our first Meal in Frankfurt which was really good.. left us with a happy and full Tummy.. However the service was kinda disappointing.. the Server took our order for the 2 person mix grill platter but forgot to give us the dip and the Bread which was a disappointment which we realized only after finish our meal.. they didnt give a damn about whether you were served properly or not just take order and drop and leave kinda service.. language barrier was another issue. Keeping the service aside the food was top notch specially the kabuli pulao and the 2 Person mixed grill platter .. along side the kofta curry it was a-good meal but the service made me cut off the stars

Ordered Molong Polaw and it was amazing. The meat was juicy and the polaw was perfectly cooked. For 30 euros, it was amazing and enough for 2-3 people. We had to pack our food with us.

The food was tasteless and too try, looked like i got old frozen lamb and followed by it got food poisoning, never recommend it to anyone

I ordered the Kabuli Palau in your restaurant but unfortunately it was very disappointing. The dish was almost tasteless and had hardly any spices. I don't know why it was so bland, but I expected more. I hope the quality of the food will be improved in the future.

It's good, I recommend trying it

Ordered lamb back with fries, the meat was half raw, the fries weren't good either. I told the waiter that he didn't speak German and left again. Ate once is enough, next time somewhere else.

Kabuli pilaow is best dish of this restaurant but this time i had shola it was also good

At first glance very good, at second glance there are a few small points of criticism. Overall it was tasty and the food arrived warm. I don't think the portion size is too small as others have written. The amount of meat was also good at Qabili. The amount of bread was a lot. The hot sauce (Chakni) tastes extremely like vinegar instead of spicy, coriander, garlic and peppers. In other words, you don't taste any aroma, just vinegar. The Burani Banjan are too oily. I know it's a greasy dish, but it shouldn't be swimming in fat. Unfortunately I couldn't eat it because of that. But I will order here again and try other dishes. By the way, delivery time was unbeatable.

Very good service, you don't have to wait long at all and the food tastes good too 👌🏼

We were there on Saturday and it was a great atmosphere. The food was delicious. Service was very good. It was perfect I can recommend it to everyone 😍😍😍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Hello, we were in your restaurant yesterday and enjoyed the atmosphere and the food. However, we noticed that the cleanliness is no longer as good as it used to be. The plates were very greasy, not only inside but also outside and bottom. We also noticed that there are too few employees and therefore orders are taken and served very late. We would really appreciate it if more attention was paid to hygiene and service. Thank you!

The best types of long grain rice with a distinctive cooking method similar to Arabic and Indian cuisine, and very cheap prices

"I visited Ariana Restaurant and was very disappointed with the experience. The service was unfriendly and the staff behaved in a racist manner. The food was OK, but the atmosphere was unpleasant. I cannot recommend this restaurant." "I recently went to Ariana Restaurant and had a terrible experience. The staff was unprofessional and made racist comments. I am very disappointed in this restaurant and will not visit again."

I thought it was super delicious! You have to draw attention to yourself...otherwise no one will come to serve you :) but you will be left alone, no stress. I prefer it that way. Very cheap but surprisingly fresh!!

Ordered some rice and it was good. I actually wanted to try pulav and chapli kebab but will try next time.

Good and tasty food, huge portions, good price, good service. Recommended

The worst restaurant I've ever been to

Disappointing experience – not recommended! Yesterday we visited this restaurant, but unfortunately our experience was anything but positive. Right from the start we had to wait a long time because no waiter came to take our order. Finally we went to the checkout ourselves to order. We ordered Shiriakh and Qabuli Palau. When the Shiriakh came, it looked like ordinary ice cream and had no Qaimak. When we asked, the staff didn't even know what qaimak was - even though they sell shiriakh! After some confusion, we were told that they didn't have any qaimak, even though we had paid the full price. They should have told us that before ordering! The Qabuli Palau was also disappointing - little rice, little meat, and the dish looked old. The taste was also not convincing. The restaurant was obviously understaffed, the staff seemed stressed and unfriendly. Overall our visit was a big disappointment and we cannot recommend this restaurant. Even one star is still too much for this store! Never again!

The food tastes really good and the staff was very friendly and the best service. Best regards Khan❤️

The place is very noisy and bad and no proper behavior is allowed. I'm really sorry.

A day before yesterday when I was in Frankfurt I was craving for Afghani food. So after googling I found this restaurant with more reviews so I thought to give it a try. I ordered Tika Kebab mit Sekh, I hope the name is correct but it was really tasty and well cooked. The salad with the food is fresh. I also wanted to try the Afghani Kulfi but it was finished at that time :(. Yesterday while coming back to Erlangen I thought to try their Qabli Pulao which was also very tasty. From my side food is amazing. I can easily give 5/5 stars. Definitely will visit it next time.

The food wasn't that good and I don't recommend anyone going there anymore 🤷🏻

Clear! Here is a relevant review: Simply terrible! I absolutely cannot recommend this restaurant. The meat tasted like it was made of plastic and even the salad was inedible. It was an overall disastrous experience and I wonder how something like this can be served. If you want to ruin your body, this is the place for you - everyone else should give this place a wide berth!

We had Qabli palao and mutton karahi there. It was amazingly tasty and this was are third visit I guess. But we never mixed these two dishes before. Overall the food and the ambiance is great.

The quality is not constant. Sometimes tasty, sometimes not.

Nothing special….unfortunately…a lot of rice and very cheap mixed salad. A lot of Afghani-an and Pakistani-an families go there because it’s cheap and therefore busy. The Afghanian rest. „Kabul“ and „Khyber Dodai“ in Islamabad are in a much higher rank fortunately! Will not go again.

Nice restaurant optics, unfortunately we didn't like the food, the meat didn't smell good. Service was quite okay… understand little German. They should improve one corner a bit, you can sit there without shoes and unfortunately it smells...

I had been to Ariana Restaurant on Friday The employee was very unfriendly and disrespectful. There was no proper interaction with the guests when the order was taken. Then we didn't order any food and went out. 👎👎👎👎👎

Delicious food and good service

Last night, my cousin, friends, and I went to Ariana for dinner, which was really close to my hotel. The Palaw was amazing, the curry was just okay, and the service was a bit slow, but we all had a great time! Ariana Restaurant in Frankfurt is known for its authentic Afghan cuisine, offering a unique dining experience. The menu features a variety of traditional dishes, including kebabs, dumplings (mantu), and rice dishes like qabuli palaw, which is often served with flavorful spices and nuts. The ambiance is typically warm and inviting, making it a great spot for gatherings with friends or family.If you're looking to try something different, Ariana Restaurant is definitely worth a visit!

The food was cold and tasted ok. The food was very expensive.

The food is really good but the service and the ambience is really bad. It's too crowded and noisy all the time.

Kebab is raw and burned . They made it very dry even though I told them to make it juicy. They are not looking very clean and might make someone sick. Very disrespectful personal. I don’t recommend them I wish they will bring prices down and service up.

Enjoy your meal. Friendly prices.

The food was really delicious and I really enjoyed it. The service was extremely courteous and attentive. I felt completely comfortable and really enjoyed my stay. The service was quick and efficient without being intrusive. I would be happy to come back and highly recommend this place.

The food was good and sufficient. It was a completely different taste for us. Staff friendly and quick.

Very very very bad food He didn't eat any of it at all Very poor and irregular service I feel bad for ashek, mento and chapeli kebab, Adana kebab is really inedible 🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢

Unfortunately we would be disappointed 😞. The tables are hardly clean. The waiters have no idea 🤷‍♂️ about this job. The food was extremely fatty. Very unhealthy food. Not recommended.

- Nicely decorated -very tight and you bump into each other -unnecessarily loud music -Service seemed very hectic, didn't really accept us at first and didn't know which table to allocate -Service stopped coming after the first order -my dish (number 11) fries and meat were dry, some of the meat was burnt, the salad was bland - Maultaschen are very tasty -sometimes there was just leftover food lying around on the floor -Loo looked ok -Portions small

Was there with my family. Food was tasty and came quickly. It was a bit hectic inside.

We were there to eat Afghan ice cream instead of homemade ice cream and we were served Kulfi ice cream. When we wanted tea they said no tea would be served today but the owners were sitting in the corner enjoying their tea. An absolute disgrace. Not to serve tea to the customer but to sit there and drink it yourself. I also asked the cashier that the ice cream was not homemade and tasted like kulfi ice cream. He missed that I noticed but still charged me for the ice cream. We left more than half of it lying around. Grill corner extremely dirty and oily. Hygienically an absolute disaster

Very bad experience with service. The staff were extremely unfriendly and not helpful at all. You had the feeling that they didn't care whether the customer was satisfied or not. Communication was unprofessional and the overall attitude was just unpleasant. Absolutely cannot recommend this service - there are definitely better alternatives that are more customer focused and respectful. A waste of time and money.

Very unfriendly staff, absolutely not recommended.

Service issues: • Staff were rude, inattentive or unprofessional. • Service was extremely slow, even when the restaurant wasn't busy. • Your order was incorrect or items were missing.

Disastrous service, rude and unprofessional.

Delicious, delicious, delicious

“Once and never again. The staff was very unfriendly and the food didn't look or taste good - it seemed unappetizing. In addition, the smell in the restaurant was extremely unpleasant and almost unbearable. Overall a disappointing experience.”

The staff was rude and unhelpful. This had a negative impact on the entire visit.”

Unfortunately my visit to this restaurant was a disappointment. The service was very poor: it took over half an hour for anyone to even take my order. Instead I was directed from table to table, which seemed very unprofessional. The staff exhibited extremely inappropriate behavior and appeared to be neither well trained nor customer friendly. In addition, they only communicated in their own language, which made communication very difficult for me. Overall the experience was disappointing and I cannot recommend this restaurant. 👎👎

Just bad experiences, the waiters are aggressive and unfriendly. I hope the restaurant will be inspected by the city

One of the racist people to Pakistanis. The person on the counter behaves very rude while paying . Whats about the quality when their service is worst. Better to visit the other restaurants nearby

Authentic Afghan food, good taste, generous portion size, and fast service

Authentic Afghan cuisine, fresh and prepared with love. Always worth a visit!

Well, this is not a restaurant) This is a very popular food establishment. Be prepared for the fact that there will be mostly men there. But my friend and I ate quietly. The food is spicy. But delicious

Afghan food is sooooo delicious, 🤤😋 Especially Kabuli Palau.. would love to eat here again..🥗🍛

Manager Sardar is so rude unprofessional waiters are also not most welcome.

Unfortunately, the quality has worsened. At first, the food was very good and we recommended it to many friends, but later the quality of the food decreased and it was mostly cold. The tables were greasy and sticky, and the toilet was very messy. I think that the quality of the food will deteriorate as the number of customers increases.

It is a pleasant tradition, but the music is very loud

Very disappointed with their service. Quantity was very less compared to what we often got.

The restaurant is full and busy. The quality of the food was good in relation to the prices. Unfortunately there is no parking and it is on a busy street.

I do not recommend these restaurants. Never again! They cannot serve customers respect and arrogant

I don't advise anyone to visit this restaurant. I visited this restaurant to get food but the treatment was very bad. My friends and I were sitting at one place and we were asked to change the place. Why didn't we know? His treatment was very bad. I felt special.🤮👎👎👎👎

Nice food, good environment But it was a bit oily than usual

The food is amazing. The employees need five years of training in the art of dealing with customers

Fantastic and more. Enjoy many types of Afghani & Pakistani food here. You will not regret it for sure if you are a rice & meat fan ☺️

Nice place and delicious food 👍

Incredibly tasty, good and affordable prices, you have to have a bit of patience, it's always full, great opening times

Very popular restaurant in a very central location. First time having Afghan food, but it tasted great! The chicken was super moist and tasty. Read some reviews abt poor cleanliness, but certainly wasn't the case when I came. The staff promptly cleaned the tables before I sat down, once with a wet towel and again with dry tissues. Good attention to detail!

The food: is highly recommended 5🌟 Service: is not that good 4 ⭐️ Atmosphere: if the weather is hot then you will have issue cuz they don’t have proper AC and the ventilation doesn’t work but in winter should be ok ;) 3⭐️

Too good, I must have lunch here every day sometime dinner

Authentic Afghan food in a slightly dodgy neighbourhood.

My favorite restaurant in Frankfurt❤️

Very tasty and as far as I can tell authentic food.

I was here at the restaurant and the service was really bad. Food is very bad and three people ordered food. Two people have already eaten and then the third person comes with the food

They have extremely bad service. Hygiene is quite bad as well. The table where I was sitted, after the previous customer left none came to clean that. Then I asked someone and he just moved teacup and tissue from there. There was water on the table, nobody felt like cleaning it. Then I changed the table by my own, but found that table is dirty too. Next comes the service. I had to order lassi twice and then it arrived when i almost finished my food. I ordered kofta, that was just super average. I Asked lemon and chilli for eating it. They never arrived. Finally I went to the counter for paying my bill and wanted to talk to the manager. There was no managers but only workers. I told them what happened they replied please don't complain we have too many customers! True... overcrowded, very poor food quality and bad service but yes it is halal !

The service was so slow. After waiting for 10 minutes of my order, someone came back and told me they don't have it.

real juice shop meat was raw and bommas without seasoning

A money taker is a very indecisive person

I used to love coming to this Afghan restaurant in Frankfurt for their authentic cuisine, but unfortunately, the quality has declined over the years. I remember the first time I visited; the food was delicious, and the prices were really reasonable. However, prices have now gone up significantly, and sadly, both the food quality and service have taken a noticeable downturn. This time, we ordered a medium-sized Palaw, Lamb Karahi, and Chapli Kebab. Out of all the dishes, the only one I could recommend taste-wise was the Palaw. However, even with that, the amount of meat was inadequate for three people, despite the server advising it was meant for two. The Lamb Karahi was underwhelming, and the Chapli Kebab was particularly disappointing—dry, barely warm, and lacking the lamb flavor as advertised on the menu. The Ayran we ordered was refreshing and tasty, but that’s the only highlight I can mention. It feels like this place has lost its ambition to maintain a high level of quality. The restaurant seems a bit rundown, likely due to its popularity, and the service was far from what it used to be. It’s sad to see a once-great spot lose its charm.

The food was not the best, and I was not expecting the cleanliness and good flavors. I was surprised that it did not come out with a different flavor than Afghan cuisine.

Food tastes bad, atmosphere is chaotic, poor service, dirty place

Yummy food n not at all expensive

Service 0 , food with too much oil and nothing inside , receipt paper in the top on salade Wow 👌 , please be careful of your service we are not paying for nothing

The food is delicious and the prices are reasonable. I recommend trying it out.

Food was great so can't complain about anything

It was a very bad tasting bread because the rice bread had no salt at all

The food was delicious, but the restaurant was very small for so many customers. So if you want to eat in peace, then I don't recommend it.

First time trying Afghanistan food , delicious lamb and veal cuisines , worth the try ! Give it a try if you are nearby or passing by!!!

The owner of this restaurant takes the money that the owner of this restaurant takes. It is a forbidden supplement. Three months later, when I came back, he boiled bread and boiled water again. God damn them.

The food was pretty good, but however the service was absolutely awful as they kept bringing us the wrong meals, the waiters were rude and annoying. Now the atmosphere was just as bad, it was busy and sticky, I thought this place was supposed be good well atlest the food was half decent. Overall I would not recommend this crappy place s

Bit crowded and hot but price and quality unmatched

Delicious and wide variety of Afghani dishes

Almost went to the hospital when we ate the food here, absolutely disgusting, second time and never again 🤬

the best restaurant in Frankfurt

Very tasty food! Highly Recommended!

Are you a person who is interested in food above all else? Then this place is a must! The food in this place is full of flavor, the portions are truly generous, and their ice cream is quite unique. Nevertheless, there are some caveats. The restaurant is not the cleanest in Frankfurt. If you're squeamish, this might be a problem. The place is quite chaotic, at times being so loud you can barely talk to the people you're sitting across from. The service is very irregular, sometimes everything works out perfectly, while others they'll forget to bring your drinks. Overall, you have to ask yourself, can I put up with these imperfections so I can enjoy a delicious meal? If the answer is yes, then come. If not, then simply walk in, order take-out, and enjoy the meal at home.

You get what you expect for the price. The meat was great and the rice was delicious, fries were also good, it could have been a little more salad. There was also bread, which even filled my very large stomach. Super! Keep it up 👍🏻👍🏻

First of all, I am very sorry to write this to my countryman, but you must be critical. Pay attention to cleanliness because there is a very bad smell in the restaurant and in front of this restaurant And give your employees some guidance on how to talk and behave with a customer
