Frequented almost exclusively by locals in the know, this turreted restaurant just north of Ave Cartier is often overlooked by visitors to Québec City. The exotic menu includes sumac-scented kebabs and traditional central Asian curries such as badenjaan bourani (stewed eggplant in tomato sauce with homemade yogurt) and qhurma (an onion-based dish with meat or vegetables).
The perfect accompaniment to these dishes is qabli pulao (cardamom-flavored rice with fruit and nuts).
