"The Boston area doesn’t have many Afghan restaurants; fortunately, the few that do exist are quite good. I’d been meaning to try Ariana for years and noticed one night that I could get it delivered all the way across the river from Brighton to Somerville. Despite the distance, a little more than typically ideal for a delivery order, the food was excellent, particularly the bowlawni kaddo — fried pastry shells stuffed with pan-fried baby pumpkin, onions, garlic, and other seasonings, with mint yogurt. (When in doubt, order any pumpkin dish when dining at an Afghan restaurant.) —RLB Currently offering delivery and takeout, as well as indoor and outdoor dining. Closed Sundays. Order: Caviar / DoorDash / Grubhub" - Rachel Leah Blumenthal, Terrence Doyle
