Honest verdict on Qorma — good but not exceptional

Qorma here was solidly made — hearty and rice-forward without anything to complain about. saffron 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 teahouse on the Silk Road route atmosphere was pleasant enough. green cardamom tea was available and a good suggestion. For a reliable version of Qorma this works. For an exceptional one, I'd keep looking. Three stars.
