Quadra Street Afghan-Persian home cooking: mantu dumplings, qabuli palaw and hospitality so warm that ordering too much is practically required.
Quadra Street, Harris Green
More infoMantu is a small, warm Quadra Street room serving Afghan and Persian home cooking, the generous, theatrical kind meant to be eaten in company. The namesake mantu dumplings are just the beginning, followed by qabuli palaw heaped with carrot and raisin and charcoal-kissed kebabs delivered with ceremony. The hospitality is genuinely half the date. Come hungry, order more than feels reasonable, plan to linger. Closed Tuesdays, so check first.
Come hungry and plan to be hosted, order more than feels reasonable: the namesake mantu dumplings, the carrot-and-raisin qabuli palaw, and a couple of charcoal kebabs to share across the one table. The warm Quadra Street room and the hospitality are half the date, so don't rush it; budget close to two hours of lingering. Closed Tuesdays, so confirm the day before you arrive at a locked door.
