Ariana Cuisine in Mira Mesa

Great place to find all the spices and dried goods that are hard to come by in a common grocery store. Also had lunch there and it was awesome!

Beast place to find everything, fresh meat, international groceries, dairy, vegetables and hot food.

Lack of employees and services nothing is better even the food is not fresh plus everything is bad and dirty hope they improve and make good service and food for their customers they seem to be reckless they don’t care about their customers which is not really good customer service is first and also being clean is extremely important for a restaurant you should wait more than 20 minutes to get service actually I am not recommend anyone to go there waste his or her time in this restaurant which is really not worth it after when they serve you they don’t know what they should bring to you with your food like spoons,forks and Tissue papers intact they are not professional about their restaurant long story short it’s the worst place to be there

Oh my - it was actually DELICIOUS! Pretty cheap too. I like this place!! The person who helped me was so kind and welcoming.. It's rare these days. I got 2 entrees.. Both delicious. if You don't know, Afghan food is awesome. I have some Afghan friends and it's great.Healthy and vegetarian options! Grocery store on one side, and restaurant on the other. 👍 👍 👍

Great neighborhood gem! Glad they stayed around during Van Ness construction and updated their interior. Great to have them as neighbors. Gladly come back every time I can. Also great for take out.

Omg the waiting time is too long , if you them for order for having fresh meat they respond yes , but when you go to store no fresh meat , he takes out the frozen meat from storage. They sell things in high prices than other stores.

Excellent food, despite the small outfit. Juicy meat, both beef and chicken. Salad was overdressed for my taste. Firni is ok, too sweet taste. Excellent portion size. Picture is combo 3.

Good goat meat

Extremely disappointed with price discrepancy. Different guys charge different prices for chicken and lamb, got ripped off last time the guy with beard who I believe is handling business during Covid lockdown charged me 10.99 a pound of goat. Unacceptable. As a market owner you don't want customers to ask/plead you to charge the right price. At the same time I ordered chicken kabab from their restaurant to go it was very salty and I had to throw it away. Extremely unhappy and I probably will never go back there again.

It is the only shop in my near vicinity to get Goat Meat. The Baby Goat they have almost tastes like Indian Goat. They say that they baby goat is a fresh one. The cost is reasonable. They also have bones, lover and other parts of goat. It will be a mixed meat only. Chicken is also cut and delivered very fresh there. Buying whole chicken is the best thing to do.Some Mediterranean items are available there. Things like aroma diffusers, essential items and tea are also good.

Simply the best place to try authentic afghan food. Best customer service plus delicious dishes.

I regret even to give 1 star to this people. If you are a MUSLIM they treat you the BEST. Indians, Sorry to say, but I am sure you can find alternative shops. I wish there is another shop that opens soon. I hope these people learn to respect everyone. I am not the first person who felt this way.

I ordered from the store and got ripped off. I ordered 1 goat, around 30 pounds. But he only gave me 20 pounds, which is only 2/3 of what I was promised. He charged me $279. I still had to pay full price for only 2/3 if the goat. He was very dishonest

Afgan market and deli, had lunch with workmates, very good flavors, PS: they have Baklava for dessert!

Ariana Cuisine did a great job catering for our family. The staff was polite, the food was excellent, and everything was delivered on time. I would highly recommend them if you are looking for delicious Afghan food catering.

Best quality tender meat available here

Deeeelish! Tried the lamb and beef kabob combo, and the salmon combo. Excellent! Comes with yogurt and green (hot) sauces, salad, and lots of basmati. The lamb was particularly good--not even slightly gamey. While waiting for our entrees, we browsed the grocery aisles: lots of excellent Afghani and Persian products: inexpensive and interesting spices, cookies, sweets, mixes, etc. And high quality halal meats.

Good Afghani food at affordable prices. Tasty veg options as well

Owner is nice, good employees, hand slaughtered chicken, very tasty biryani

Steak kabobs are filet mignon

This produce was amazing!! We loved the shop and as Afghans very impressed. Food was extraordinary, service was phenomenal and the shop was awesome. Highly recommend to any one in need of South Asian food and produce. Coming back next time I am in San Diego.

Good place to buy Goat and chicken meat.

Better to put board only for Muslim. I was in the queue long time. One Muslim lady came later , but she didn’t follow the queue. Butcher asked who was first and I Said I m the one first came and the butcher also knew I m the one first came .but he served the Muslim lady . Even 3 other Indian people are also waiting after me . They are racist . They give respect only Muslim.All Indian people don’t have other choice to get meat nearby(fresh). Only the reason we r still going. I m going to complain to customer department .

Good for its meat.We tried their Goat Biryani. The price was reasonable for the quantity. But was bland and tasteless. It tasted nothing like biryani.

Nice place to buy halal meat like chicken goat and beef. They also sell frozen fish. They do sell liver which has lots of health benifits which you may not find in other shops.

Halal Mediteranian food family owned . Food was really tasty and clean restaurant. Big portions at a reasonable price.

We had great food and good service!

One stop shop. Freshest products. Reasonably priced. Owner/manager will guide you in the healthy nuances of Mediterranean cuisine. Very helpful and knowledgeable. Eat in or take out. Bulk foods. Hard to find Specialty products. Clean.

This is a place you want to order food from! It’s great if you have to bring a dish for a party or are hungry and want an absolutely satisfying lunch or dinner. It’s authentic Afghan cuisine and supporting this familyOwned business is the way to go! And after you order food grab some sweets and tea !!! I

Unprofessional owner, not clean, and with a very bad attitude, ba Kale kal khod 👴🏼👴👴🏻

Ordered some decent quantity of food to go. The food was decent taste and quality. However what was annoying was that I asked for some extra chutney sauce on the side and the lady told me I have to buy it. On a $60 take out order it would have been a good gesture and customer service to just give on the house two 2 oz sample sauces rather than ask to pay for it.

Great food, thanks.

Beat place to buy fresh mutton. Q

Good for fresh goat meats.

I been here several time and used thier food. Awosem Afghani Kabab, Rice ( Qabeli, ... and other delicious food) with good prices.

This is go to place for good middle eastern food and fresh meat in Mira Mesa area

We ordered kurbani and when we picked up the meat and brought it home, it weighed only 15 pounds. He promised the meat was 25-30 pounds.

Wonderful place for Mediterranean food! I've been trying to find anything that rivals the flavor profile and home cooked stuff out in LA and this was hands down the best. The place is a bit worn but the family that runs the shop is diligent and experienced. Every dish is prepared with care and I absolutely love the menu options. This place leans towards more middle eastern as opposed to Greek or whatever the chain places in the area serve. The owners are very friendly and helpful and the portions are huge! Do yourself a favor and order a chive bolani and any of the beef dishes, you'll be in flavor heaven shortly after it arrives.

One of the best places in town to try authentic Afghan and other middle eastern cuisine. Other than their very reasonably priced, good portioned menu items, you can buy delectable sweets and grocery items/spices. Finally, fresh halal meat for cooking at home. Parking is easy in the lot and seating is decent sized. Staff is very warm and welcoming.

I love the food at the restaurant in the back of this Afghani supermarket! The chicken kabobs are so tender they melt in your mouth and are not dry like many other chicken kabobs. Also the rice is so good, not sure how they do it but wow it's delicious! Owner is very friendly as well. There are a few booths and several tables and chairs for dine in or get it to go. Some of the most reasonable & delicious Afghani cuisine in town.

The food is always super delicious! It takes a little longer because it's all made fresh and you can tell by how delicious all the food is. Our favorites items here are the gyro wrap, bolani with chives and the ferni, oh the ferni is so good. While you wait for your food check out the Ariana store that is attached, we go there for all our spices while we wait for our order.

One of different foods I have ever tried. I stay near by and I just searched in yelp and I found 5 stars and wanted to give a try. After entering the store it is both a cuisine, halal market and grocery store. Coming to food it was awesome. I had lamb kabob and a buffet(10.99$) it was super awesome. I get to see all the dishes so much authentic Iranian food.

Good for Middle Eastern ingredients.

Do not go if you arent of a certain people....my wife is black and I am white. The open hostility of the customers towards us coupled with the fact I waited at the checkout for about 15 min with no one to help us made this a place I will never return to. My food was on the counter waiting to be checked out and another customer walked up seeing me and cut in front, dropped his food on mine. I casually put mine back on top and waited to be served. My wife and I are patient people and do not ever try to bring trouble anywhere. All I was trying to do was spend my money here. I will go to the stores in Anaheim where all are welcome.

It's a small family run shop. Understandable for it to have storage and clutter if they're running it as their residence part of the time, but during business hours, keeping it tidy/somewhat presentable is probably a good idea. I came here to support a small/local restaurant, but it took 5 mins for them to track down a menu and it was unsettling how grimy it was. Covered in stains and old food residue. It's unfortunate. Based on this, I didn't want to order any food. I'm even concerned about ordering delivery based on this experience on the exterior of the shop. I really wanted to give it a chance but it didn't feel sanitary

Must try. Love the test

The man is very dishonest. We ordered for $300 to get 30 pounds of goat meat. But we only got 20 pounds of goat meat. This is extremely unfair.

Its a small store with Arabic cuisine and sells halal meat
