Bamiyan Kabob

I've heard lots of good things about this place including how it's the best Afghani food in the City and I've been meaning to go and try it out for the last 4 months. I finally got my chance, but it was so crowded in the restaurant that we decided to grab the food to go. 


The Naan is pretty interesting. The portion is quite large and it's baked in an oven and sprinkled with black nigella seeds.

Top: Barg Kabob Dinner
Bottom: Half Chicken Kabob Dinner
All kabob dinners come with basmati rice, salad and naan.
I'm used to eating jasmine rice and trying basmati rice was an interesting experience. It's a lot longer and not as puffy as jasmine and the basmati has a hint of a scent or flavour to it. The salads were nice: one was made of lettuce and a light mayonnaise sauce and the other was a tomato, onion and coriander salad.
The Barg was chunks of filet mignon rubbed in spices on top of a bed of long grained rice. It was really tender and very tasty.
The half chicken was dry rubbed on the outside and tender and succulent underneath the skin. It was an interesting contrast and the spice mix was lightly spicy.

Overall: I liked it! The meals were reasonably priced, tasty and filling.
