Has anyone been to Bamiyan or Bamiyan II? I went to Bamiyan II (in Alexandria) and was pleasantly surprised, first by the quality of the food and secondly by the atmosphere. I'd never had Afghan food before, and this was a very good first-time experience. Primarily a lamb menu. I had a chicken and lamb kebab with rice, salad, and some sort of bread. The flavoring was unlike anything I'd tried before, with a strong hint of what might have been lemon. Is this traditional for Afghan food? The friend with me had a lamb and eggplant dish, which he said was also very good. We went at a good time, around 4 or 4:30 on a Friday night; the place looks on the small side so I wonder what it would have been like otherwise. The waitress was pleasant and not pushy, which we appreciated. ;) Has anyone had any experiences with Afghan elsewhere? We'd be interested in trying some other restaurants.
