Slightly spicy chunks of buttery sea bass in the korma mahi dissolve on the tongue. The spicy-sweet kabuli is unforgettable, with chunks of lamb (tender enough to cut with a spoon), brown rice,... more

The bread is a must-get here. My bf and I always bring it home and make sandwiches from it the next morning.
