Enjoyed a wonderful dinner tasting many of the new summer dishes. Just love the Afghan dishes and the flavours using as much local ingredients as they can at this Mount Pleasant gem.

1^st dish:

Roasted Brussels Sprouts, Char Masala; this was definitely one to get if you love brussel sprouts, it has hummus at the bottom of the plate and it’s topped with a beet vinaigrette.

2^nd dish:

Shor Nakood, Chickpea, Potato, PicklEd peppers; a unique and traditional salad that almost reminds me of a summer soup.

3^rd dish:

Chilled Eggplant, Black Pepper, Yogurt with the Afghan naan.

4^th dish:

Cauliflower, Black Tea-Pickled Raisin, Romesco, Dukkah Spice; another must try dish, the raisins really make this dish and the stand out flavours.

Drink

Parwan: Minty pomegranate soda (mocktail) nice and refreshing on a summer day.

Drink

Gulrang Rose (mocktail) Jason enjoyed this one that was made with grapefruit.

5^th dish:

Spicy Chicken, Gravy, Afghan Naan; and this was so good and wasn’t overly spicy, great flavour and more gravy to pour as you wish.

6^th dish:

Lamb Shoulder, Toasted Almond, Chilli; this is a hearty dish for all lamb lovers.

7^th dish:

Shir Yakh, qaimaq, pistachio — their yummy Afghan ice cream that dreams are made of.
