Ashak exceeded every expectation

I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Ashak made with real commitment to cardamom and technique. The aromatic with cardamom and saffron result was more complex and satisfying than anything I'd had before.

kabuli pallow rice is the national dish, traditionally cooked for the most important occasions. The an Eid celebration feast was exactly right for this kind of eating. doogh was offered as the natural choice and it elevated everything. When a dish you thought you knew surprises you completely, that's worth celebrating. Five stars without hesitation.
