Afghan Turk Restaurant

About Afghan Turk Restaurant

Afghans eat a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. Common fruits include dates, melons and other dried fruits. Common vegetables include eggplant, spinach, potato, carrot, peas, onion, legumes, tomato, cucumber and lettuce. Fresh mint and coriander are also very common. Dinners are usually eaten on a dastarkhan, a tablecloth laid on the floor – you must never step on or over it. Cutlery is not usually used – you use your hands to scoop up the food (or a naan) and you would only use your right hand. A guest will always be offered the place of honour at the head of the table.
