Kabobi By The Helmand - Afghan Restaurant

My wife and I have been waiting to try the food at Kabobi By The Helmand since the spring and finally made the trip this week. After trying many of the appetizers and a couple of the entrees, we both said to each other, “We should have come here sooner.” and we are already planning our next visit for the near future. The owner, Khaleeq, was there to help guide us through our first experience with Afghan cuisine with recommendations and explanations of the ingredients and cooking methods used. Appetizers: Kaddo Borani (pumpkin) and Banjan Borani (eggplant): Both dishes were seasoned with flavorful spices and the texture and tastes were amazing. My wife preferred the pumpkin while I liked the eggplant more but they were both excellent and we would order them again without hesitation. Bo

I ordered 2 entrées but received only one bread and one of each white and green sauce. Food was basic and doesn’t feel worth the price. Similar to other kabob places but more expensive. EDITING TO RESPOND TO REPLY MADE BY MANAGEMENT: As I see management/owner replied that they have footage of my visit, first picture clearly shows that it was a delivery and I didn’t visit the restaurant. So this clearly means management lied about it. And as I didn’t visit, how would I request extra sauce? Plus it’s clearly visible in the order receipt that there were 2 entrées. So 2 naans correct? Talking about giving extra sauce on a big container as requested, that never happened as I didn’t go to the restaurant and there doesn’t make sense that I requested anything. If I requested anything, it will sho

Excellent Afghan restaurant with authentic flavors and high-quality ingredients. The food was fresh, well-seasoned, and beautifully presented. The staff was professional and welcoming, and the atmosphere was warm and comfortable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for genuine Afghan cuisine.

This was one of the most disappointing and overpriced dining experiences I have ever had. We paid $60 for two orders of Qabuli, yet what we received was simply a small portion of rice with a bit of beef stew nothing resembling the Qabuli we ordered. Additionally, we were charged extra for bread that was never served. When we asked the staff member about the discrepancy, she responded with noticeable irritation and stated that she is only an employee and serves whatever the restaurant owner instructs. This, in itself, was an indirect acknowledgment of the restaurant’s misleading and unprofessional practices. I am writing this because after my friend left a review on their site, instead of offering an apology or addressing the issue, the restaurant staff chose to accuse us of causing a distu

I have mostly ordered for pickup which generally does make the experience a bit less heightened, but in this case it never matters. The food quality is always top notch. I tend to order the lewand dishes or kebabs and they never let me down. I’ve tried many things on the menu, however. I only wish that they were getting more traffic and attention on social media or were in a location that would allow them more customers because this place deserves many many flowers.
