What You'll Get
With your kitchen's pots and pans inhabited by the evil spirits of dead pots and pans, cooking at home has become both time-consuming and spooky. Get quality cuisine without interference from crazed kitchenware with today's Groupon: for $20, you get $40 worth of Afghani-fusion cuisine and drinks at Ariana in Huntington. This Groupon is valid for dine-in only and is not valid toward early-bird specials.
Backed by 15 years of elegant tradition, Ariana pairs the exotic flavors of the East with the recognizable and richly rewarding tastes of the West. The eclectic menu features fine feastables such as the vegetarian platter, lined with hummus, baba gannouj, eggplant salad, falafel, and olives revs ($19.95), and the protein-powered meat- and chickpea-filled sambossa ($6.95), a fitting primer for the filet-mignon kabob ($21.95). Complement any meal with any one of seven wines available by the glass, half, or full carafe, or peer into the dregs of a cup of potent Turkish coffee ($5.95). As you and yours sink into the comfy pillow-lined booths, a server will pose the question of dessert—and with options such as the sheer brinj ($6), an Afghani-style rice pudding, the response may be as simple as a subtle, yet confident nod or a steadily progressive slow clap.
This Groupon is not valid on Mother's Day, Father's Day, Memorial Day or Labor Day.

About Ariana Restaurant
Husband-and-wife team Ali and Nazifa acquaint American palates with Afghan flavors through accessible fusion fare—with many vegan options—that has caught the printed eye of the New York Times. Cushion-covered benches grant comfort, and glasses of wine complement entrees. The eatery’s framed art hangs on exposed-brick walls instead of over an art museum’s embarrassingly outdated Chuck Norris poster.
