Kabul in Belmont, CA - Afghani food at its finest with some nice spicy chutneys!

Went to lunch with mom today - yum.

Incredible food. 2 excellent spicy chutneys, a tangy green jalapeño chutney and a hotter sweet red habanero chutney. Both went with this dish perfectly. 

I forget the name of this dish (it was complex. lol), but it's steamed shredded carrot & raisins served on a steaming mound of rice, which covers the most tender chunks of spiced lamb I've ever had. Hints of cumin & other spices created a perfect balance with the sweet from the carrot & raisin.  The lamb was tender and fell apart, but wasn't at all overcooked. I suspect it was sous-vide.
Everything that came out of the kitchen looked incredible. If you're in the SF Bay Area and are interested in an excellent and reasonably priced Afghani meal, it's on El Camino Real in Belmont.  Family owned and highly recommended.
