“This is a new Afghan restaurant in the Claremont Mesa area. They are both a grocery store and a restaurant put together as one. They have a wide variety of Afghan dishes. So far I have tried the Mantu - Afghan dumplings with meat sauce , garlic , green onions and yoghurt. I also tried the chicken kabob - very good boneless pieces of chicken bbq with rice mixed with raisins, carrots , nuts and spices. So far this is a great restaurant and I will definitely come back.“
“I have been wanting to go here for years and finally had a chance to go with my wife for a Friday lunch. Parking can be a little tough, but there is free street parking and pay lots nearby. The restaurant atmosphere is super cool inside and the wait staff was incredibly friendly. The food was delicious. We got an appetizer platter and loved it. We ate the entire appetizer platter, including extra Pita bread, and almost ruined our appetites before our entrées arrived. The main meals were delicious. I also got the vegetarian platter with 4 different items and different rices.I will definitely go again (next time not on a Friday during Lent so that I can try some of the entrées with meat options). I will also recommend to friends and others.Vegetarian options: Wide variety of vegetarian options with excellent flavor profiles and large, hearty portions.“
“Went to eat here with my parents. We have had Afghan food before and love it, but this was perhaps the best food and experience we have ever had. We ordered several kabobs (all lamb) which included organ meat and it was DELICIOUS! Our server, Parisa, was awesome and so kind! We really enjoyed speaking with her and she took really good care of us. The other Afghan restaurants in San Diego don't even come close to the quality and value available at Ariana Produce & Cuisine. Can I give 10 stars?“
“We had a nice late lunch here on a Sunday. Friendly service and great food. We both had lamb dishes. One was the Chef Special with sour cherries. The other was a lamb shank with rice. Both were very well prepared. The rice was perfectly cooked and not too moist. I look forward to coming again.“
“I had the gyro sandwich combo with hummus, and everything was fresh and flavorful. I got pretty much exactly was I was looking for when I decided to try this place, and I enjoyed trying a couple of new flavors on the side, particularly the Afghan chutney. The dining area was clean and the music was chill, and I'd gladly come again.“
“I loved my falafel wrap from here. I have been looking for a falafel with a soft core and a not too oily fried exterior, and this was exactly it. Partner got the lamb shank and I was eating the rice that came with it on its own.Ample parking .“
