: At this Midtown spot named after Aryana, the ancient region now in Afghanistan, you'll find a wide array of Afghan dishes---from mild vegetarian entrées to charcoal-grilled kebabs and seafood specialties. Among our favorites: aushak (leek-filled dumplings in meat sauce); kadoo bolanee (pumpkin fritters with yogurt); and the combination of savory sumac-dusted kebabs and aushe burida (a soothing noodle, yogurt and meat casserole). Hand-woven wall hangings and pictures of Afghanistan provide the ambience.
