Kutchi Deli Parwana

This is a lovely lunch spot in Ebenezer Place. We had not had a lot of Afghan food prior to visiting the establishment so all the dishes were new experiences for us. The menu is small, but all dishes are delicious (my kind of food place!). We had a lamb kebab, a serving of dumplings, and the famed eggplant curry, with iced chai and rose sharbat on the side. The dumplings remained crunchy, despite being drenched in extremely flavorful tomato sauce. The kebab was of course delicious; and the eggplant curry was a little sweeter than we had expected, but that was definitely a welcome surprised. We left full and satisfied, and without much of a dent in our wallet because everything was so reasonably priced!

Kutchi Deli is a great addition to the already impressive list of eateries along Ebenezer place. Adorned in groovy patterns and colours, marvel in the atmosphere while you decide on what to order. The entire menu is definitely worth a look. I was able to sample a few dishes with our party of four. Everything tasted great and an honorable mention on the iced chai. Whether it was brewed from tea leaves and spices or powder, I'll never know (I would if I asked...). The Chai was delicious and not overly sweet the way most cafe's make it.

Adelaide is on the up because of joints like Kutchi. Family Ayubi are changing our understanding of Middle Eastern cuisine with their traditional Afghan recipes. Everything on the menu is worth doing, but the eggplant, dumplings, and spiced chai are all time. Worth going back at least once a week. At least.
