(This venue is closed.) Bathed in a rosewatery liquid, this cupful of khoshaf ($3.50) included pistachios, slivered almonds, a trio of apricots, dates, golden raisins, and assorted cryptic cordovan-colored objects. Cranberries, asserted Joe DiStefano, who also ascertained the name of this catch-as-catch-can nut-and-fruit concoction. Your khoshaf may vary.
