My wife and I stopped by for dinner at 5:30 pm on a Tuesday evening, and the restaurant wasn’t very busy, with only a few tables occupied. The first thing that caught my eye was the seating arrangement. The center of the room had folding chairs—the type you might use for a card table, with no cushions—paired with tables. These weren’t the most comfortable, being just metal chairs. However, the tables along the outer walls had proper wooden chairs, which were much better. Our server quickly informed us that they were in the middle of remodeling, so we were willing to overlook some of these issues with the ambiance.
We started with the lemon rice soup, and this was a great start to the meal. The soup was tangy with a strong lemon flavor, which we both enjoyed. It gave us high hopes for the rest of the dining experience.
For dinner, I initially ordered the Beef Stroganoff, while my wife opted for the Chicken Lemonato. However, after a short time, the server came back to let me know they were out of the Stroganoff. I decided to order the Chicken Lemonato as well but asked for pasta instead of rice, which they happily accommodated without any issues.
After a wait of around 10 minutes, our meals arrived. My wife’s Chicken Lemonato, served with rice, had an extremely heavy sauce. While the lemon flavor was strong and the sauce thick, it was also quite salty. The chicken on both of our plates was dry, relying heavily on the sauce for moisture, but the sauce itself was too overpowering. My dish, served with pasta, fared a bit better for me since I prefer pasta to rice, but the strong lemon flavor was still overwhelming.
Overall, while the lemon rice soup was the highlight of the meal, the main courses left much to be desired. The overpowering lemon flavor, dry chicken, and mismatched value for the price make it unlikely that we will return.

This is a great restaurant hidden away in the suburbs. The food was really tasty and looked great too. There are not many vegetarian options but the restaurant was accommodating to replace ingredients or remove them.
We ordered the lemon rice soup with eggplant parmesan and California avocado wrap. Everything tasted great!

We ordered here for a quick breakfast before Christmas shopping. It’s a beautiful little place, amazing service, and delicious fresh food. We were greeted by a young guy with long curly hair. He was super nice and accommodating. He let us sit down for a few minutes while we waited for our food. And the food is AMAZING. I got the meat lovers skillet, and my boyfriend got the plum crepes and added blackberries. Both were sooooo delicious.

The best hidden gem in the area!! From breakfast, lunch, and dinner, it doesn't matter what time of the day you go the food is absolutely amazing!! Everything is freshly made and you can tell by the quality of the food. The staff is always courteous, friendly, professional and treat you like family as they always go above and beyond to make sure you have a great dining experience. If you are in the area definitely give Ardiana's a try, you will not be disappointed, also make sure you save some room for the desserts!!

We called in advance letting the restaurant know that we would have a party of 16 arriving within the hour. Upon arrival our large table was already pulled together and set up for our extended family.
When my younger niece requested chocolate milk the owner himself came to our table and explained due to limited requests he does not routinely stock it. However, he then personally went out to a local store and picked up a half gallon specifically to make her day. Adriana's is a hidden gem in Novi that I visit every chance I get.
Breakfast, lunch or dinner the food and service are top notch.
