Helmand Kabobi

"We've visited twice and enjoyed it both times. They are conveniently located near Johns Hopkins and there is a parking garage nearby. The restaurant has a warm and inviting atmosphere, service was friendly and the variety of food choices has made it fun to try new dishes. Prices are reasonable too."

"Nice food still. I am biased as I've been visiting multiple times once in a while. I like the sweetness of the turnips cooked in spices and raisins. The lamb is very soft. The mint sauce is a must try, if you like mint. It can go with the rice, the meat, or the soup."

"We ordered carryout and when we got home there was an obvious problem. Way too much food for two humans to eat at one time! Their servings are very generous (which we appreciated!), especially for the price. Apart from that, everything was absolutely delicious. Surprising flavors. Thanks much."

"Lovely restaurant, with takeout and dine-in options. Quiet and comfortable ambience, and no wait when I came in for an early lunch. The food is excellent, and I recommend that Kabuli pallow. Attentive and friendly service."

"First time there. Went around 1:45 on a Friday, place was empty. I was ordering takeout. Very surprised by the ambiance of the interior as it was totally unexpected based on the exterior. The traffic on Wolfe street seems to hide this neighborhood gem. The hostess was super nice & explained the menu as I'd never eaten Afghan food before. Ordered the beef kabob meal. Food was good. & wait wasn't long. Price is average. Would like to stroll back over & dine in so I can get the full experience & explore the menu more. Yes I'd recommend."
