Tinsel & Tine’s Look at

ARIANA AFGHAN CUISINE

By Le Anne Lindsay, Editor

Have you ever tried Afghan Cuisine?  I hadn’t until last week when I got invited to a Media Event for a restaurant in Old City Philadelphia called Ariana Afghan Cuisine (134 Chestnut Street, cross st. closer to 2nd than Front), it’s run by female proprietor, Beheshta Hashmi, and believe it or not, it’s been there for 19 years!  I’m not sure why I never noticed it before, hence the media event, although, they have a loyal patronage, and good YELP reviews, but it’s always nice to add a little extra exposure. It worked, as now I plan to visit again during the upcoming 26th Annual Philadelphia Film Festival (click for T&T’s film picks) as screenings take place at Landmark Ritz East theater, located just around the corner from Ariana.
