Tonight I have a small advantage to try Afghan cuisine. The resturant is next to Rasputin on Broadway and Cambine. I have passed by this resturant many times and wonder what’s inside. Looking into the door, it looks pretty normal, just like any other small family resturant. When we arrived, the place is quite empty, but we were told almost all table are reserved. We couldn’t sit inside the Afghan style room with low-raise table and cushions. The menu is in English, so at least I know what I am ordering. The food is very similiar to Greek food, with lots of lambs. Since Afghan is a Muslim country, no pork is served. I have ordered a platter to share with Pat, it has a little bit of everything. The taste is ok, but I still prefer Greek better, these two are pretty similiar anyways. The service is sub-par, the waiter at the reception looks kinda scary, and they didn’t refill water for us often enough. I am a bit disappointed they don’t have horse meat in their menu. I was told horse meat is a famous cuisine in Afghan. Maybe I will try another Afghan resturant with horse meat next time. However, I suspect that is probably the only Afghan resturant in Canada.
