Qahwa aur kaRwahat

There is an Arabic saying ‘Qahwa uss waqt qahwa nahin, jab tak uss main muhabbat ka soz aur maut ki talkhi na ho’.

First of all can any one translate this into shusta and salees Urdu (without asking meaning of shusta and saless) :snooty:

Have you tried qahwa at different places specially some Aarb Restaurant / qahwa shop? Any difference between the qahwa at Arab shops and other places? :chai:

Re: Qahwa aur kaRwahat

I tried Qahwa from Iranian restaurant, similar to Pakistani Qahwa but lighter in taste because they add warm water to dilute the *talkhi *of Qahwa on demand....

Re: Qahwa aur kaRwahat

iss se acha tha Joshande main shehad daal ke pi lete :hehe:

Re: Qahwa aur kaRwahat

main pani main shehad dal ka pee longa.. joshanda nahi…

We also add honey in Qahwa, then there is another type of tea called green tea or Chinese tea.. I heard green tea boost metabolism of body and reduces fat :hmmm:

Qahwa is what modern world knows as coffee. Arabic qahwa is quite thick and extremely bitter in texture and taste. What is famous in Pakistan as qahwa is actually a hot drink made from green tea

Re: Qahwa aur kaRwahat

Then where does Afgani Qahwa stand?

I think Afghani qahwa is same as peshawiri qahwa, which is green tea

Re: Qahwa aur kaRwahat

so you want to say that Pashtun / Afghan people follow Chinese traditions of Qahwa rather than Arabic traditions. Interesting :hmmm:

Re: Qahwa aur kaRwahat

i've never tried qahwa before and i do NOT intend to do that ever! aisii talKh cheez ko kia muNh ko lagaanaa jo saarii zindagii yaad rahe aur us talKh tajurbe se Daraataa rahe.

to be honest, i am not very fond of anything that is even remotely Arabian except my religion and Arabi zabaan.

They are not following Arabic tradition for sure. Don’t know if this concoction that is called qahwa in Afghanistan/Pakistan has Chinese roots or not, but it might be the case. Well, tea leaves originated from China anyways, so the logical answer is yes

Re: Qahwa aur kaRwahat

ek Arabic Muhawre ke anosaar: Qahwa KaRwa hai :D

Re: Qahwa aur kaRwahat

Yea Qahawa in our regions is green tea , not coeffee. I think its due to large consumption of green tea beside active life, that afghans in general are lean and smart.

Re: Qahwa aur kaRwahat

Its interesting to note that tea was not common in India till British introduced it and that too after so many marketing techniques.

So, we can call Pashtun areas ‘Bab ul chai’.

Re: Qahwa aur kaRwahat

who introduced tea in Afghanistan? Any reference to earliest consumption of tea in Afghan areas?

Don’t know the answer, but tea is heavily consumed, both in Afghanistan and Iran, so whatever the history maybe, it would be common
