Late summer nights turns to fall, and our new menu is here! We’re saying welcome to Qabeli – our version of Afghanistan’s national dish “Qabeli Pulao” or “Kabuli Pulao” which is usually served with lamb. At Manto, we decided to use a plant based chicken instead, and of course our home made spice mix. This fluffy rice is mixed with the chickn’ stew and topped off with carrots, pistachios and cashews. Yum!

If you are more into the spicy stuff, we got you! How about our new Korean Tofu Burger with home made potato chips, or the Dhal with Spicy Tandoori Tofu Skewers? We also want to recommend Kado, a real Afghan classic! Butternut squash stew with oat yoghurt sauce and afghan bread.

New beverage! An amazing bubbly and fruity bottle has landed on the menu – pét-nat from the cidery Brutes outside of Stockholm. Team Brutes creates wounderful ciders and pét-nats filled to the brim with fruit. No artificial flavouring, just good fruit, hard work and patience. Come by to try our bottle of the season “Alright, alright, alright” – a pét-nat made of apple and pear, macerated with plums.

As you know by now, we love local collabs. Our friends over at Köld, who are ice cream artists, have made a custom ice cream flavour just for us. We feel very honoured by this collab, and our head chef Nasib felt like he travelled back in time when he first tried this ice cream. It is made from coconut, Afghan saffron and rose. A common ice cream flavour both in Afghanistan and also Iran, that lets us give you a little piece of Afghan food culture.

Hope to see you soon, and please give us feedback on the new dishes and drinks. We would love to hear what you think.

The heart of Manto beats for Asian cuisine, no doubt about it. To compliment that delicious comforting feeling you get from Manto dumplings or Potato Bolani, we like to collaborate with our local beverage producers!

On tap right now: Crispy Pils and an award winning IPA from our favs Hyllie Bryggeri. With their really cool custom made tap designs, great beer and a warm and welcoming approach, Hyllie won our heart from day one.

Moving on to some soft drinks: Kombucha – both delicious and good for the gut! Green Queen produces organic kombucha down the street from Manto. We love the innovative flavours and amazing service of the owner, Ika. Flavours change depending on the season!

Last but not least, Björksoda from Ängabacken in Småland. In the spring, the birch sap is harvested and turned into a unique beverage that is similar to sparkling wine. It’s low in sugar, alcohol-free and made with only two ingredients: lemon and birch sap. A bubbly, hand made thirst quencher served on 750 ml bottles at Manto.

Cheers to local and small scale producers!
