We visited Ariana Kitchen for lunch on the August long weekend Monday. We were greeted and seated immediately. Our server was very friendly and answered all of our questions about the menu items. Our food and drinks then came pretty quickly. Everything was fresh and generously portioned. The ezme and bread and the lamb shank and rice were standouts as was the bolani and the accompanying sauce/dip. The mango shake I ordered was also very delicious and refreshing. We were served some lovely cardamom tea at the end of our meal. Atmosphere-wise, the place is bright and clean and there was even fresh flowers at each table. The only reason I could not give five stars for this category was due to lack of toilet paper in the washrooms. I did tell a staff member and was assured it would resupplied right away. (To be clear, the washrooms were very clean.) Overall, this was an enjoyable visit. Good value/prices and great food. We are already planning our next visit!
