The Kabul Piquant, Ethiopian Berbere,Persion Gulf Baharat, and the Afghan Curry Braise which I will use tonight as I have already tried out the other 3, Which titillated my taste buds With some mighty fine flavors.

Can’t wait to try Kabul piquant!

Went to Rumi to purchase more of your fantastic saffron. This Kabul Piquant caught my eye and I can’t wait to try it on some chicken. Love the unusual blend and can’t wait to taste it vs just sniffing the bottle!

Kabul Piquant chicken-YUMMY!

I marinated chicken thighs in a rub of Kabul Piquant Chicken blend and a little olive oil for about an hour or so.. I made sure to put some under the skin of the chicken. Halfway through the grilling of the thighs, I sprinkled the spice on the skin side, just for added color and flavor. Delicious. This is a nice spice blend to have on hand for a slightly different weeknight chicken meal! Customer service is always good at Rumi. I had a concern about packaging of my order as the box arrived crushed. The response to the concern was timely and kind. Prompt delivery of the order was excellent .

VERSATILE NOT JUST CHICKEN

Omit the word Chicken and realize it's a perfect blend of middle eastern spices. UNLIMITED USAGE! I grew up with Egyptian foods...love Syrian spices...THIS IS THE BEST. It is fragrant and spicy. There are so many usages. Bake your eggplant with it. Read the spice ingredient and realize there are so many usages for this spice to be added to somethings you cook may be more familiar with. I love it!

Piquant Chicken

I really enjoy using this spice. I only eat broiled white meat chicken and it is very tasteless and dry; however, using this spice makes it extremely yummy!

Rumi is the best spice I’ve ever had

Arrived quickly and perfectly packed. Very beautiful design of the bottles, they were larger than I expected. I ordered 7, they are all different but all fantastic. Very high quality ingredients in the mixes, made our cooking of new exotic taste, we’re enjoying all of them heartily. Trying to be careful with these nice glass containers, not to drop them as their elegant cork may open and all the treasure may spill. Though natural cork adds more charm to the spice container. The price is bearable to be using these spices generously as they make any ordinary dish taste gourmet. Only wishing Rumi company to stay successfully on the market to be able to order their flavoring product any time
