BOULDER DUSHANBE TEAHOUSE
1770 13th St., 303-442-4993.

Hand­crafted in Tajikistan and reassembled in Boulder, the Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse is the only authentic Persian teahouse in the Western Hemisphere. Vibrantly painted ceilings, carved cedar columns, ornate plaster walls and a sculpture fountain provide airy ambience during the day and casual elegance at night. Begin with an appetizer, such as Hawaiian poke (fresh tuna marinated with soy sauce, seaweed and green onion, served with pea-shoot ginger salad and sweet-potato chips). Entrées include Moroccan chicken tagine, a sweet, spiced, seared, boneless half chicken finished with honey-apricot stock and served with warm couscous; Chinese hoisin ribs, a half-rack of pork ribs in hoisin sauce served with Asian slaw and stir-fried noodles; and Southwestern trout tamale, a masa-encrusted ruby-red trout served with roasted cilantro potatoes, grilled zucchini and red chili sauce. Finish with a thick slice of tangerine-tea gingerbread cake, as featured on the Food Network, prepared with herbal tea and served with five-spice whipped cream. Enjoy a selection of more than 100 premium loose-leaf teas, gourmet coffees, chai, beer, wine and cocktails. Reservations required for traditional afternoon tea. In-house and off-site catering available. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner daily 8am-9pm. MC, VISA, AMEX, DISC and local checks accepted.
