And when my wife is happy; that's all that matters to me! Service is straight forward: order at counter, wait, and pick up food; but friendly people that greet & take your order! Food was out in a time manner and was cooked to order, so food was still hot when were got home! Unfortunately my order of fries were a little soggy being in a container box on the drive home, but easily fixed with a little oil in a pan to re-crisp the fries to my liking. Food portions are generous and can easily feed two people. We look forward to our next meal here! Sorry no food pics, I accidentally deleted them

I like that you can order ahead online and pickup is fast, usually 15 minutes tops in my experience at least. I've had the falafel gyro and the chicken souvlaki platter, they were both tasty; I liked the slight char taste on the chicken and the pita bread is so soft. They have a dedicated area for online pickup, making it easy to get your order quickly from an employee, and I was greeted when I walked in, which is always a bonus. There is plenty of seating both inside and out and the table I sat at to wait for my order was clean. Thanks!

I did get the dressing. I also paid for gyro chicken. The chicken is dry flavorless and taste old. Highly disappointed! When I think of the chicken that goes in a gyro it's flavorful with spices and seasoning form marinating. This taste like boiled old chicken. The dressing is good and I love the fresh veggies but overall disappointing and would not recommend. People should take pride in their food.

This is a deli and kitchen hidden in a grocery store in an unassuming strip mall in East Elk Grove. They have some of the best Levantine take-away plates in the area. There is no seating at all. The cashier is super friendly and greets you like an old friend. The beef and lamb shawarmas are delicious. Both were seasoned perfectly and was cooked just right, not too tough or over cooked. The falafel was crispy on the outside and warm and fluffy on the inside. Great textures. The hummus and Greek salads as sides were fine. The falafel also comes with some pita slices. The fries here are also great! Twice fried with great seasoning. Also great reheated in the air fryer.

Everything looked fresh, clean, and well organized. They also serve hot food, burgers, wraps, and a variety of ready-to-eat options. And their fries are the best! They have their own recipe and different from anywhere else especially paired with their whipped house-made mayo garlic sauce. Come and tried their fries, you won't regret it! The workers are all friendly, and I believe I spoke with the owner, who was welcoming and took the time to chat with customers. Will be returning because my favorite are the FRIES!!!

We ordered Afghan food from Ariana Gyros & Kabobs for delivery…read more We frequently got foods from Ariana before COVID, because it's the best Afghan foods in our areas. We returned many times since then but today, the old memories of why Ariana was one of our favorite restaurants returned. We ordered our favorites: Chablee kabobs, Chicken kabobs, Qabuli rice, mantoos, and Bolani. Qabuli rice or Kabuli pula, is my favorite. The basmati rice is served with the tender lamb meats. It's fragrant, eye-pleasing, and a good balance of sweet and savory spices and ingredients. It surely fits to be called the national dish of Afghanistan. Mantoos (Afghan dumplings) is the must have in my family. It's filled with ground beef and onions, covered with chickpeas sauce and tzatziki sauce and sprinkled with mint. It's refreshing. Bolani (potatoes turnovers) served with my favorite chutney that's made with cilantro, vinegar and garlic. The kabobs were tender and delicious as expected. I always like the foods from this restaurant. Today, the food arrived piping hot!! We did mostly takeouts from this restaurant for years. I noticed the restaurant did a lot of takeout orders but not many eating in. We did dine-in once, a few months ago. The restaurant updated their interior. The interior felt too dark when we went there for lunch. While the restaurant looked cleaner, I wasn't sure what the theme was. The spaces didn't seem to blend together to create a feeling of comfort. It's not enticing for us to stay to enjoy our foods inside the restaurant. But we like the foods so we will return for takeouts.

Ariana Gyros & Kabobs on Center Parkway is hands down one of the best hidden gems in Sacramento…read more Every single bite is packed with flavor and freshness. The bolanee was perfectly seasoned and fried just right, the kabob was tender and juicy, and the portions were incredibly generous. You can tell everything is made fresh like as if you're eating at mamas house and that's a high compliment coming from me. The chapter kabob plate was phenomenal, flavorful, well-cooked, and hot the spot. The pita was fresh and warm, the sauces are rich and delicious, and everything pairs perfectly together. On top of the amazing food, the service is friendly, welcoming, and fast, making the whole experience even better. Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch or a filling dinner, Ariana Gyros & Kabobs never disappoints. If you love Afghan food done right, this spot is a must-try. I'll definitely be coming back when I visit from San Diego!

Took it at home and ate the entire dish. It was refreshing and nice. I'll definitely come back to this one. I find it funny that I was told the limitations on my protein. It's chicken/falafel or Beef/lamb. I wanted chicken and beef but the counter girl said it's not done that way. So I just ordered the chicken falafel. It was actually really good anyway.

here is another local review update. This is Another location where i have enjoyed my dining…read moreexperience and wanted to check the consistency of their food quality and prep. I especially wanted to see if their lamb shank was still the "star" from my last visit and to try their meat kabobs. So what did we order. 1) Lamb shank (2 orders): again, i believe this entree is one of the best items here. The shank is braised so well that the meat comes right off the bone without any efforts. The flavor is exceptional. it arrives on a bed of rice, hummus, greek salad, and pita bread. This is an item i would order without hesitation. 2) Chicken kabob skewers plate: 6 pieces of boneless white meat that is grilled once the order is placed. The chicken had a nice char and looked great. But the flavor was very mild and grilled a little too long which made the meat a tad dry...perhaps the chicken needed to be marinated longer for the spices to penetrate but the dryness was in preparation over the grill. 3) chicken and beef kabobs skewers plate: again the chicken was grilled a tad too long which made the pieces dry. the beef was moist and had a nice flavor. It also comes with rice and a salad. 4) mixed plate: sliced meat from a rotisserie spit on top of a bed of rice and topped with tzatziki sauce and hot sauce, hummus and greek salad. the sliced meat was a bit dry but more tzatziki sauce on the meat helped. The side salads were very basic. The pita bread is not as soft and fresh as the ones from Jayna Gyro on Alhambra blvd. But I would give 4 stars for the lamb shank and 2-3 stars for the grilled and chicken and beef kabob and rotisserie chicken sliced from the spit.

She'd noticed my growing curiosity about Afghan cuisine from a previous visit elsewhere and gently pointed me toward Chopan Kabob House, insisting it was worth the experience. There was something comforting in that recommendation--like being guided toward a place that already held meaning for someone you trust. When I arrived, I was immediately struck by the restaurant's clean, welcoming atmosphere. The space felt intentional--nicely furnished without being overwhelming, simple yet warm. I mentioned I was ordering takeout, and the gentleman behind the counter handed me a menu. At first glance, it seemed straightforward, but the more I looked, the more it felt thoughtfully curated--each item carrying a sense of tradition and care. Wanting a proper introduction, I chose the Combination Kabob with Tikka and chicken. It felt like the right balance--a way to experience more in a single meal. I was told it would take about 20 minutes, and as I sat waiting, I found myself appreciating that detail. In a world built on speed, those 20 minutes felt reassuring. It suggested intention, freshness, and the kind of cooking that isn't rushed. When I finally brought the meal home and opened the container, I was genuinely surprised. The portions were generous--almost abundant. A vibrant salad added a refreshing contrast, while the long-grain rice was fragrant and perfectly cooked. Then there were the stars of the meal: the Tikka beef and the chicken, both beautifully prepared. Each bite carried depth--layers of spices and seasoning that felt both bold and comforting. It wasn't just flavorful; it felt rooted in something deeper, something traditional. By the time I finished, I realized this wasn't just a satisfying meal--it was an experience that lingered. There's a certain nostalgia in discovering a place like this for the first time, especially through the recommendation of someone close to you. It feels personal, almost like being let in on a secret. I'm already looking forward to returning, perhaps next time to dine in and take in the full experience. And with a menu that promises more to explore, this feels less like a one-time visit and more like the beginning of a new favorite.

But a few things: - the food took SO long to arrive. We were the only group in the restaurant and we waited over an hour before our food finally arrived - there is no AC in here, and just small spinning ceiling fans. It was so hot the day we came - 100 degrees outside so it was boiling inside while we waited. - the food had a lot of carbs, wish there was more protein. I think if I crave this, I would do takeout instead of dining in.
