Ariana Restaurant
About
Ariana Restaurant serves Afghan cuisine in Boston’s Brighton neighborhood and has been run by the same family since opening in 2010. Its cooking is rooted in the homegrown flavors and traditions of the Afghan meal. Diners can find dishes such as mantu, meat-filled dumplings with yogurt; qabili, rice with lamb; crispy bolani; and vegetable dishes like pumpkin, leek and shallot shells, and lentils, with pita and sauces brought to the table while guests wait.
Husband and wife Najeeb and Baheja Rostami built the restaurant from their own journey. Najeeb worked in UK restaurants before moving to the US in 2005, and together they opened a small first location in Allston before relocating to a larger space in Brighton five years later. The move added seating, private dining and outdoor tables, and many customers have stayed with them since the early days.
