The Helmand

The food here is amazing, with the best part being to bread they serve at the beginning of the meal. It comes with a range of sauces and butter. There’s a wood fired oven they have running to make the bread and it comes out hot and fresh. Full wine selection and have never had a bad meal here. Good service. FIVE STARS !!

It felt like I was traveling Europe or Middle East right in the middle of Boston. That foreign feel was so unique. Servers were very nice, some didn't speak English but we somehow communicated and they were helpful. I am new to Afghanistan cuisine and the Afghan special yogurt drink tasted like a more liquidy version of one of their yogurt sauce... A little salty and tangy. Interesting flavor. We ordered Chef Signature Special platter for the group per waiter recommendation and it was plenty to go around and worth it if you are with a group and want to taste different types of meat without having to order multiple dishes. Their bread was amazing - fresh and full of pleasant aroma, probably with some herbs as well. I really loved the experience. The appetizers were pretty good too. One of t

Great for date night and to spice things up. Amazing seasoning and everything tasted so cohesively. I love the aesthetic and looks fancy but still at a good price. The service was fantastic too! Best Middle East/Central Asian food i’ve had in Cambridge.

I find Persian food delicious, and the menu here is rich, featuring both Persian dishes and some Afghan exclusive options. The pricing felt a bit high compared with other Middle Eastern restaurants in Boston. I can’t quite give the food five stars, but it’s still a good place to experience the cuisine from that part of the world.

Authentic Afghani food. All dishes were well prepared. For salad Shor Nakhod and for appetizer we tried Aushak. Some of the dishes we ordered were Lamb Chowfan,Lamb Seekh Kababs and Chicken Murgh Kabab Lamb Sabzi Challow was excellent. They have a full bar and a customer friendly wood fired oven by the bar where one can see fresh bread being baked
