Restaurant Review – Afghan Village (Camberwell VIC) – 3.5 Stars

Having not tried Afghani food before, I didn’t really know what to expect. What I didn’t expect was how delicate, yet substantial, the food at Afghan Village would be. There were leek pastries, and spiced lamb dumplings, as well as kebabs of marinaded chicken and lamb over salad. But the biggest surprise was the extremely tender lamb in the dopiza korma with wonderfully sweet onions and yellow peas that managed to be both juicy and crunchy. These were nicely finished with rosewater and cardamom custard. I didn’t know what to expect going in, but I certainly expect to go back.
