Bruce, I stumbled upon your blog when looking at Bansuri Food Truck. Explored a little and checked out your review of Afghan Cuisine which is right around the corner from where I live. Used to go there when it was Village Restaurant. You menu scans have prompted me to try this place. Thanks.
We first discovered this place summer 09 and the curry was awesome, full flavored indeed, I've had both lamb and chicken & tend to order the chicken so I don't have to deal with the large lamb bone as the gravy seemed to be the same. I hadn't been in quite a while & returned earlier this last summer only to find flavors much milder and the overall effect much less complex... so disappointing to me (I tend to like intense flavors). I attributed it to hard economic times... maybe I just got one of those occasional "off batches" and will give it another try before too long just in case. The firni also makes a nice light dessert. We've tried some of the other dishes but preferred the curries - a personal taste thing. I'm hoping they go back to the more complex spicing!!

ReplyDeleteI haven't been in a couple of years myself. I should get back out there.
