Honest verdict on Bolani — good but not exceptional

Bolani here was solidly made — aromatic with cardamom and saffron without anything to complain about. dried sour grapes kishmish was present and handled reasonably. But something was missing from the depth that this dish should have.

kabuli pallow rice is the national dish, traditionally cooked for the most important occasions. The a traditional Afghan home dinner atmosphere was pleasant enough. fresh pomegranate juice was available and a good suggestion. For a reliable version of Bolani this works. For an exceptional one, I'd keep looking. Three stars.
