Underwhelming Kabuli Pulao — expected more

I was looking forward to Kabuli Pulao here based on the reputation. The reality was disappointing. The fragrant and warming character that makes this dish special was muted — either from shortcuts with bolani stuffing herbs or from scaling up production at the expense of quality.

Afghan hospitality tradition demands feeding guests regardless of the host's circumstances. The an Eid celebration feast setting I was hoping for wasn't quite there either. qymaq cream tea was available but not suggested appropriately. I've had much better versions elsewhere. Two stars because the dish concept is sound; the execution let it down.
