About Us
Afghani Cuisine reflects a unique mix of peoples and cultures. It is a rich and diverse cuisine, which includes influences from Indian, Persian, Turkish, Middle Eastern, Greek, Chinese and Central Asian cuisines. The blend of spices varies from family to family. Most dishes are flavorful but not hot. Generally, the hot spices are not added to the pot. Fresh or dried hot peppers, hot chutneys or spicy pickles are served on the side for those who prefer their food hot. Chutneys are relish-like condiments made of fruits & vegetables, ranging from sweet to very hot
