Shor Nakhod exceeded every expectation

I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Shor Nakhod made with real commitment to bolani stuffing herbs and technique. The subtly sweet from dried fruit result was more complex and satisfying than anything I'd had before.

Afghan hospitality tradition demands feeding guests regardless of the host's circumstances. The an Afghan restaurant abroad 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.
