...... A conservative way to continue is with one of the kebabs
of chicken, lamb, or ground beef. Beyond those are palows, rice dishes
akin to Indian biryanis. Chalows are similar but sweeter, with
raisins, sautéed carrots, and prunes. Vegetarian plates are available
as main courses or side dishes--try the pumpkin, eggplant, turnips, or
spinach, all nicely seasoned with native spices and herbs. Tea
drinkers will enjoy the cardamom tea. For a soothing dessert, order
the almond pudding with cardamom and pistachios.
