| - How much can you love a restaurant? Read my review and you'll find out.
From Texas, I made several trips to Wisconsin to trace my family history at the Wisconsin Historical Society. I fell in love with Madison from the instant I set foot there. State Street and the area felt like an old friend. I liked it so much, I had to move to Wisconsin. Couldn't find a job in Madison, so lived in Milwaukee, but made it into Madison for more research every chance I could, and ate at Kabul often.
The first time I tried the mashawa soup, i thought I'd died and gone to heaven. I liked it so much, I had to find the recipe so I could make it myself. And have. i couldn't convince my husband how amazing this soup was until he tried it himself. And then begged me to make it. A little lamb, multiple types of beans and legumes like lentils, chickpeas and green and yellow split peas, a wonderfully hearty dill-flavored broth, and just a tiny bit of heat. Plus a dollop of yogurt sauce on top. It is the PERFECT food when it's cold outside.
The service here can be hit or miss, but the food makes up for it.
The Moroccan Lemon Chicken (although technically not Afghani?) is my favorite here. One day I had a friend join me for genealogy research, and I took her here for lunch (technically dinner, since we were eating so late), and she too was convinced of the awesomeness of Kabul.
The day I had to leave Wisconsin, and the awesomeness of my old friends, State Street and Kabul, was a sad day for me. I'm planning another visit back as soon as Walker is removed from office, so I can celebrate.
If you happen to find yourself in Madison, do yourself a favor and stop in here.
