More Than a Meal.

Ariana Kabob has been bringing authentic Afghan flavor to Carytown since 2022 — one fresh, flame-grilled plate at a time.

Rooted in Tradition.

Afghan cuisine has a story in every dish. The marinades, the spices, the way meat is prepared over an open flame — these are recipes passed down through generations, refined over decades, and served with pride.

At Ariana Kabob, that tradition is alive in every order. Our kabobs are made from fresh halal beef, chicken, and lamb — marinated, flame-grilled, and served the way they've always been meant to be served. Not fast food. Not fusion. Authentic Afghan food, made fresh every single day.

When you eat at Ariana Kabob, you're getting food made the right way.

What's on the Menu.

Not sure where to start? You're not alone — Afghan cuisine is new to a lot of Richmond diners, and we love introducing people to it.

Start with a Lamb Tikka Kabob — chunks of marinated lamb, flame-grilled and served with fragrant rice, fresh salad, warm bread, and your choice of chickpeas or spinach. Or go with the Qabeli Palaw — basmati rice with raisins and carrots, served with lamb shank. Crispy Sambosa turnovers and creamy Hummus make perfect starters. And if you're feeding a group, our Family Combo Platters are built for the table.

Bold flavors. Fresh ingredients. Something for everyone.
