A dish that tells its story — Kafta reviewed

You can taste history in Kafta if you know what to look for. the cuisine shares roots with the broader Levantine tradition. The fresh and citrusy character reflects those layers — seven-spice baharat blend doesn't appear by accident; it came from a specific tradition.

The a mezze spread for a large gathering setting made sense of it. You understand the food differently when the context is right. arak alongside is part of that story. Some food is just fuel. Kafta, properly made, is something more. This version told the story well.
