A slightly contemporary Afghan eatery {pizza on the menu and flashy decor}, Mazaar had a more diverse menu than the first two restaurants we visited. They retained all the traditional main courses {try the Qabuli Uzbeki} but we decided to go for a smaller spread of dishes that piqued our interest.
Out came the Bolani Gardana; a flatbread stuffed with leek and spring onions {think parantha, but with very thinly-rolled dough} which we polished off with mint chutney in the blink of an eye. The Mantu, a dish of dumplings stuffed with meat and onions, topped with yogurt and dal chutney, was a new but pleasant mix of flavours. We finished with Sheer Yakh—the Afghan version of a kulfi, composed of vanilla ice-cream, condensed milk, rose water and pistachios.
