Restaurant review — Ashak that actually delivered

I'm sceptical of any restaurant claiming to do Ashak well, having been disappointed often enough. This one delivered. The hearty and rice-forward base was authentic and the use of bolani stuffing herbs showed real knowledge.

Afghan hospitality tradition demands feeding guests regardless of the host's circumstances. The atmosphere was genuinely a teahouse on the Silk Road route, which the food matched. green cardamom tea came with the meal as it should. The portions were generous and the price was fair. A reliable place for this dish.
