Ariana Halal Market & Cafe is a hidden gem of a small business that offers a unique dining experience. Located within a grocery store, this establishment is run by a single proprietor, Sharif, who hails from Persia and brings his passion for life and amazing stories to the cafe.
The menu features a variety of Afghan cuisine, including a delectable flatbread appetizer and mouthwatering chicken kebab. Customers can also enjoy a refreshing yogurt drink with mint, similar to kefir, which complements the flavors of the food. The chutney that accompanies the appetizer provides a moderate spice level, catering to those who prefer a little kick.
Ariana Halal Market & Cafe caters to a diverse clientele, offering vegetarian, traditional religious, and vegan options. The proprietor is also accommodating of dietary restrictions, willing to modify or suggest substitutions to meet customers' needs.
Despite the small, cozy dining room and the proprietor's sole responsibility for both the store and the kitchen, the establishment provides a welcoming atmosphere. Customers are greeted with a smile, and the owner's dedication to providing a pleasant experience is evident.
While the service may be a bit slower due to the owner's multiple roles, the quality of the food and the unique charm of this small business make Ariana Halal Market & Cafe a hidden gem worth discovering.
