Babani's Kurdish Restaurant, Minneapolis/St. Paul

Babani's claims to be the first authentic Kurdish restaurant in the United States. The unfamiliar menu items may keep some away, but once you try it, you will definitely come back. The richly aromatic cuisine is prepared using fresh vegetables and organic herbs and spices. The Kurdish chicken soup, dowjic and tabbouleh are nicely complimented by naska nan wa paneer, an addicting, delicious house-baked bread.For those looking for a taste bud-tingling entrée, don't miss the kubay sawar, ground beef stuffed in fried wheat dumplings, or chicken tawa, chicken layered with potato, green pepper, onion and dried lemon. Prices are reasonable and portions are enormous.
