Dawat in Allston Closes; Ariana Cuisine to Open in Its Place

More changes are coming to the Allston dining scene, as an Indian restaurant has closed its doors and will be replaced by a new Afghan dining spot.

According to a couple of sources on our Facebook page (and based on an early posing on the EveryBlock Boston site as well as an article we wrote awhile ago), Dawat on Brighton Avenue has closed after being in business for approximately a year. The eatery had replaced another Indian restaurant called Rangoli, which had been in that space for more than a decade.

A new restaurant called Ariana Cuisine will be moving into the space where Dawat used to be, and it looks like it will be featuring Afghan fare. There appears to be no definitive opening date for Ariana Cuisine at this point in time; as soon as we get more details on the upcoming spot, we will post an update here. [June 11 update: According to one of our spotters in Allston, Ariana Cuisine is now open.]

The address for this new Afghan restaurant in Allston is: Ariana Cuisine, 127-129 Brighton Avenue, Allston, MA, 02134.
