Next up on my What to Eat Wednesday we go to St. Paul, Minnesota. The capital of Minnesota. It's a nice city. Beautiful and quiet. Old trees, old houses, yummy food.

One of my favorite places in the Twin Cities to eat is Babani's. It is thought to be the first Kurdish restaurant in the country. I don't know if that is true but I do know the food is very aromatic, warm and unique. Some of the dishes seem to be a lighter version of Indian food. My favorites are the lentil soup, Niskena, the Kurdish bread, the Kurdish lemonade made with black lemons and the Garbanzo Bean Shilla with chickpeas that melt in your mouth.
