The partner's word
Ariana II carries a history that stretches back to 1986, when the original Ariana opened its doors in Manhattan and quickly found an audience for its authentic Afghan cooking. That success eventually led to a second location, this time on Kilburn High Road in London — a stretch of the city well suited to a restaurant rooted in tradition and hospitality.
The food here is Afghan at its core, with a broader selection of Middle Eastern dishes alongside vegetarian and vegan options. The standout is the Kabuli palow — slow-cooked lamb shank served beneath fragrant Afghan rice, finished with carrots and raisins. It's the kind of dish that takes time to get right, and it shows. Also worth noting: the Kabuli with lamb tikka kebab, where grilled lamb marinated in freshly grated spices sits alongside that same distinctive rice, and the lamb kofta kebab version with two skewers of minced lamb in a flavourful marinade.
The atmosphere leans romantic — intimate enough for a proper sit-down dinner, not just a quick meal.
