  Iranian hospitality and food is absolutely insane. Much love and appreciation to all the Iranians for bringing that positivity.

  Eating at the Iranian restaurant with your viewer is so wholesome

  Afghanistan has actually three languages-<br>Farsi <br>Dari(eastern persian dialect)<br>Pashto(completely &nbsp;different language of mountains)<br>And also some people speak their native languages very rarely and also learn Urdu to talk with tourist from India or Pakistan!

  And another thing… &nbsp; Loved that you spoke or tried to speak the language for each restaurant. Very cool, fun, and respectful. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  I have Iranian neighbours and they made a mean mutton rice. It is one of my favourite dishes full stop.<br><br>Fond teenage memories of helping the mum out on errands and DIY projects and being rewarded in mutton rice.

  Yemen Cafe for the win!!!! Both locations! I feel like there is better Russian food in Brighton Beach (particularly Ocean View Cafe and Skovorodka) but Russian Samovar is fun. I used to live near Dunya Kabob House and always found it underwhelming--I thought your review was very fair and generous (as always). Thinking about it, &nbsp;this would probably be of little interest to lots of vieweres but it would be cool to do a video of all the Russian/Ukranian/Georgian etc. restaurants in South Brooklyn.

  Overall, I enjoyed your video of the foods of forbidden countries. The one exception was for Venezuela. Every other country you went into a restaurant and had several dishes to sample. For Venezuela, you go to what was ostensibly a food truck and order one item. I will not suggest that the best food Venezuela offers would compete with the likes of Iran, but a Chachapa with queso de mano, a parchita, and some maduros, along with your patacone, would have leveled the playing field.

  I&apos;m so glad you had such a good time at Nasrin. Persians are such excellent people with such a real sense of genuine hospitality.

  Dang man, you made my day! Thank you so much. <br>As an english speaker I welcome the fact it&apos;s spoken around the world. However as you noted, I always try to speak the local language, however horribly. It has always been appreciated, and I find it gives me more of the local atmosphere instead of expecting english to be spoken. Cheers!
