Helmand Kabobi Cafe - Baltimore

The food was delicious, but my drink was missing from my pickup order. I had to return, only to be informed that they didn't actually carry that drink, despite it being listed on the menu. Why didn't they mention that when I came the first time? It seemed like they couldn't be bothered. With that kind of attitude, they really don't deserve customers.

Wow!!! Delicious and flavorful food. I was in town for a meeting and our group dined at this restaurant and was it a delight. The food was so tasty and fragrant. We ate family style and had several choices. We had the grilled steak, lamb and chicken. Theeggplant and pumpkin appetizers were great. My ABSOLUTE FAVORITE of all the dishes were the meatballs with the cumin basmatirice and the lamb with rice and carrots and raisins on top. Dinner was great. The owner (father and daughter) were very gracioushosts. If you?re in town, you should definitely stop by. Oh and the Portuguese white wine was a nice accompaniment to my meal.

I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. The young male server with glasses and AirPods was incredibly rude and disrespectful. His lack of hospitality and manners made for an unpleasant visit. He took a long time to check in with our table, and we often couldn't find him around. On September 20, 2022, we felt like we were just left waiting for far too long. I don't think he should be in a serving position.

Unexpected vegetarian delight! The vegetables and rice were perfectly seasoned, creating a wonderful blend. The sweet turnips added a nice contrast to the spicy mushrooms and peas. I really wish we lived in Baltimore so we could savor their food again!

If you live in the area or work at Johns Hopkins hospital, DO NOT IGNORE THIS RESTAURANT !! The Helmand on Charles Street is its heritage, and the food at this restaurant is simply divine as well. If you have never had Afghani food or put off becauseit may have too many spices? Fear not. If you are a vegetarian or vegan, you are welcome. The food is perfectly seasoned, takeit from someone who has been in the sand pit area TRUE AUTHENTIC AND VERY WORTHY ????????????
