Holiday memory — Kabuli Pulao that transported me back

I first ate Kabuli Pulao on a trip five years ago and have been searching for a version this good ever since. This restaurant finally delivered the aromatic with cardamom and saffron quality I remembered. dried sour grapes kishmish was handled correctly — something most restaurants here get slightly wrong.

kabuli pallow rice is the national dish, traditionally cooked for the most important occasions. It was the a traditional Afghan home dinner memory that I was really chasing and this recreated it. fresh pomegranate juice was offered and brought the whole experience together. Some dishes are attached to a time and place. This one finally restored that attachment.
