Silk Road owner Hashim Sidiqee immigrated to the U.S. from Afghanistan in the early eighties. He gained experience in the food business and dreamed about opening a restaurant to showcase the cuisine from his native country, finally opening Silk Road in 2004. He made it a family effort by enlisting the help of his wife and children.
The dishes of Silk Road are incredibly flavorful and delightfully seasoned. Those of you who don’t like spicy food will be pleasantly surprised, as everything is extremely savory and yet subtly seasoned. There are kabob, vegetarian and rice dishes to choose from, and all are prepared with the freshest ingredients in a healthy way. The most popular choices are the lamb chops, chicken kabobs and salmon kabobs, and the sabzy (spinach) and banjan (eggplant). The most popular rice dish is the Naringe Palow, a slightly sweet rice flavored with orange peels, saffron, and nuts.
Silk Road has had excellent reviews by both the Courier News and The Star Ledger, and most importantly, from its legions of loyal customers. Travel the Silk Road to experience a fresh, healthy, and delicious cuisine like you’ve never had before.
