First time trying Mantu — completely converted

I had never tried Mantu before this visit and I wasn't sure what to expect. The subtly sweet from dried fruit taste hit immediately and made sense of the dish in a way descriptions never quite do. bolani stuffing herbs is an ingredient I'd not encountered used quite like this before.

The an Eid celebration feast setting added something to the experience — this kind of food makes sense in that environment. kabuli pallow rice is the national dish, traditionally cooked for the most important occasions. My server recommended fresh pomegranate juice alongside and it was exactly right. I've been telling everyone to try Mantu. Outstanding first encounter.
