Afghan Dumplings
Khyber Pass was listed as a place to check out on the dumpling tour in October in the lower east side. Dim lights and hookah added to the ambiance. We ordered a salad and lamb dumplings, which came with a tasty yogurt sauce. Loved it! Want to go back and try other things on the menu.

L&B Spumoni Gardens. Whoa!
Family style, Sicilian food and lots of it. The size of the dishes, both appetizers and entrees, are huge!
We ordered off the menu, rice balls and broccoli rabe to start, three pasta dishes, an eggplant/cheese entree, and a bottle of wine. I have to admit that my pasta dish was quite tasteless.
The portions left us reeling! While we were eating the chef came by to give us another bottle of the same wine we were drinking that he accidentally opened. He chastised us for ordering off the menu and told us to order from the Chef's menu in the future. During the course of our meal he brought out three different appetizers for us to try and sent us a dessert on the house. True italian hospitality !
Probably won't go back for the entrees, but am curious about their pizza.
