Owners of a new Tucson restaurant and market are hoping to share their food and culture with the community.
Ahmad Bahaduri and Ritiek Rafi opened Kabul Corner on Friday, Sept. 1 at the intersection of East Fort Lowell Road and North Campbell Avenue. An array of Afghan food is available including traditional dishes, pastries and ingredients.Bahaduri said, “Everyone was asking about Afghan food and an Afghan store. That gave me a feeling, it gave me an idea.”“I’ve been in Tucson for 24 years, I came here as a refugee myself and my partner, as well.
“I think it’s pretty exciting. We have been wanting to push to have an Afghan restaurant here. In addition to it, also have a bakery and a store that offers pastries and sweets.” “Most of those men have had some sort of deployment in Afghanistan. They’ve grown a taste for the food, especially for the naan. I’ve talked to many of them that miss the food,” Mohammad said. “They always ask me as an Afghan where they can find a restaurant.”
