mongulstjohn Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Hi, I served in Afghanistan for a year and had a chance to help the impoverish but wonderful Afghan people and their food. I would love to have some nan and beef korma (beef stew) again. Does anyone know an authentic Afghan restaurant in Bangkok? Thank you. G.I.

Bartman Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 try an Indian resturant, plenty of those. Is there a difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mca Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I went to the Hazara restaurant once with some pals on Sukhumvit Soi 38. Nice food. Northern Indian style grub which I believe is very similar to some Afghan cuisine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sel Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 There is an Afghan restaurant very close to the main gates of Nichida Thani, opposite the Mexican place in Pakkret area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

senshusband Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Well, I also enjoy the non in Afghanistan, but I doubt you are going to get anything like that in LOS, because of different ways it is baked. Also, Indian food is far from Afghan food. Afghans sometimes use curry in their stews, but thats about it. I would guess the place that Sel mentioned would be about the only place your gonna find Afghan cuisine. Good luck though, and if you do find an establishment let us know. I would like to take my wife there, possibly, so she can experience what we have, to some extent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polsci Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Try Saraburi;there- there are communities of Pashtuns,who settled down a generation before,definatly - they still cook food of their ancestors,you may even get yourself GF who will cook for you,what you like. I have to look for them myself next time when I'm in Saraburi. But unless these Pashtuns travel back and forth between Afghanistan and Thailand (and other countries where they have since settled in), their food may have become more Thai (because of available ingredients). Theses days the Pashtuns in Afghanistan are more Pakistani (in fact more Peshawari) due to their long stay as refugees in Pakistan that the Afghan food is quite similar to Pakistani cuisine. Even Indian culinary (due to Indian influence of Bollywood and much more) slipped into this part of the world except that the Pashtuns prefer their food much blander. The closest and easiest thing that OP may experience as an authentic Afghan cuisine in Thailand is Roti with tea. When I was in the U.S. military, my local Pashtun staff would share their breakfast of Paratha (as called in Afghanistan and Pakistan) and tea ("chai" with or without milk) with me. So, Roti, that is. The OP didn't say where he was in Afghanistan. Different regions, different favors. The Kabulis have slightly different dishes from the Pashtuns in the East and South.
