"My friend and I started off our “Complete Dinner for Two” ($55) with a delicious bolanee kachalou — basically an oversized fried wonton filled with smashed potatoes — and tender chicken kebabs on a bed of rice. So I wasn’t sure what to think when the qabuli palow (it’s $25 a la carte) arrived. It seemed like another heaping plate of brown rice topped with slivers of carrots and raisins had landed on our table after we already inhaled enough carbs to feed four people. It turns out that tender chunks of lamb shank were tucked into this traditional Afghan dish. We didn’t leave one grain of rice by the time we paid our bill." - Eater Staff
