Shinwari Cuisine

The distinctive feature of Shinwari cuisine is that meat is charcoal grilled or cooked with no spices but salt and is cooked in lamb’s own fat, making it uniquely delicious.  Our lamb is hung and aged to perfection. One can see fresh lamb hanging on racks and black woks set above burners, so at a table with a bird’s-eye view of the chefs in action, you’re guaranteed to have a unique and memorable dining experience.

One of the Signature dishes in the Shinwari cuisine is Dumpukht. A great deal of care and attention is given to the precise moment , not a moment sooner or later, of cooking a succulent lamb meat on a very low flame in its juices and bone marrow and adding the balanced amount of special ingredients and spices to give it that exquisite taste and aroma that we are well known for

Afghan cuisine offer a real-time alternatives for those interested in the rich Central Asian culture of Afghanistan. Persian, Indian, Chinese and Mediterranean cultures influence Afghan food,  Onions play a part in everything, meat often features prominently and mint is often used as a garnish.

The flagship dish of Afghan cuisine is the Kabuli Pulao, which consists of tender meat (usually beef) domed under rice that’s mixed with lentils, raisins and julienned carrots.
