Our take: Albany Park’s Afghan oasis: Helmand brings Silk Road flavors to the Second City. Bring a bottle of bold red and prepare for a magic carpet ride of flavor.
Wine Pairing: Afghan cuisine pairs beautifully with a spicy Gewürztraminer or a fruit-forward Grenache. For white, try an aromatic Viognier.
Beer Pairing: A light lager complements Afghan flavors. Try a Czech-style pilsner or, for a regional option, Murree Brewery's lager from Pakistan.
Spirits Pairing: While not traditional, a spiced rum like Kraken pairs well with Afghan flavors. For a regional option, try Arak for anise-flavored cocktails.
