Firni exceeded every expectation

I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Firni made with real commitment to saffron and technique. The aromatic with cardamom and saffron result was more complex and satisfying than anything I'd had before.

Afghan hospitality tradition demands feeding guests regardless of the host's circumstances. The an Eid celebration feast was exactly right for this kind of eating. green cardamom tea was offered as the natural choice and it elevated everything. When a dish you thought you knew surprises you completely, that's worth celebrating. Five stars without hesitation.
