"The four Shams sisters banded together to open Sunshine Spice to provide the people of Boise a taste of the flavors of Afghanistan, where they were born. In 2022, Khatera Shams, the baker and chef, was named a James Beard semifinalist for her sweet and savory creations, like pistachio opera cake, pillowy steamed mantoo stuffed with spiced ground beef and topped with garlic sour cream, and avocado toast served on Afghan bread. Sunshine Spice is a nickname for saffron, which appears in many of the offerings. Along with the original, intimate, art-filled space on busy Fairview Avenue, the restaurant operates a second location in the heart of downtown." - Scott Ki
