Kabuli palaw is the national dish of Afghanistan — and one of the most surprising on Kokcha’s menu. Long grain basmati rice cooked with tender beef, caramelised carrots, almonds and raisins, all perfumed with spices that evoke the Silk Road.
The result is a dish of perfect contrasts — the sweetness of the raisins and carrots against the depth of the meat, the crunchy texture of the almonds against the softness of the rice. A preparation that requires time and knowledge.
A unique gastronomic journey, steps away from the Sagrada Familia.

The aromatic complexity of kabuli palaw works best with neutral drinks that do not compete with the spices. A cold Alhambra beer or sparkling water are the most respectful choice — if you prefer something with more character, a mild vermouth also pairs well.
