It had probably been 10 years since my last visit to Kabul. Warm spices floating down State Street on an idyllic summer's day brought me back. Sitting outside on their patio under the shade of an umbrella drinking Afgan iced tea (with light notes of cardamon) how could I not be happy? Throw a great lunch special (salads or soup come with your entree) and I'm a happy camper. I used several pieces of bread to mop of the delicious meat sauce I had covering my eggplant rounds. Substantial food that didn't make me feel too full - the perfect compliment to the beautiful day.
