Food From Afghanistan is Yum

On Saturday, Blake and I went to Trista's going away dinner at the Afghan Horsemen Restaurant. It was our first time eating foods from Afghanistan. I have to say WOW!! some of the best food I have eaten in a long time. We had the Aush soup that was a special Afghan Noodle Soup, cooked in a mixture of onions, garlic, tomatoes, different herbs, mixed with yogurt & mint flakes and the Kabuli Palaw witch consist of Baked rice topped with Kabuli (sautéed carrots, raisins & almonds), served with spinach, cooked potato, cauliflower & Chaka (sour cream & yogurt dip)

For a long time, the Afghan Horsemen was the only restaurant of its kind in Canada. Similar in style to Indian, and with dishes that resemble Greek salad and hummus, Afghan cuisine bears closest resemblance to Persian food with its milder flavours and wonderful use of rice.

It was delicious and wonderful and even got to use the traditional Afghan manner with low tables and cushions on the floor. We can't wait to go back and eat some more.
