Description

One dinner at this Afghan restaurant exposes you to more flavors than five meals at most Middle Eastern restaurants. A starter called quruti consists of thick, triangular bread slices dressed in garlic-tinged yogurt and crispy fried onions; the torshi platter, a sampler of spicy relishes, tastes great with potato bolani, samosa-like pastries seasoned with scallions and cilantro. Standout entrées include badenjan borani (baked eggplant steaks with garlic-mint yogurt) and kabobs, which range from marinated lamb-loin cubes to chicken chunks seasoned with saffron, ginger, garlic, cayenne, and yogurt.
