Really tasty! I had the Seekh Kabab and Bowlawni. The lamb from the Kabab was flavorful, juicy, and cooked perfectly to my order. The purée served with the lamb added an awesome bit of acidity to complement the lamb. The Bowlawni was great too. I’m not a big scallion or leek fan but that one was tasty and the spicy potato one was tasty as well.

Aush, Chapli Kabob and Pulaw we’re all incredible. Everything was uniquely delicious and the service from Hamyoun and the rest of the staff was perfectly attentive without being overbearing. The ingredients are obviously intentionally selected for high quality and freshness. Absolutely 10/10 would recommend when in Cambridge!

My wife and I visited Boston for the first time and we decided to have dinner at Helmand Restaurant. It was the best thing we did because everything we ordered was leaps and bounds better than any afghan restaurant we've been to. When dinning at restaurants we like to order multiple appetizers and one entree as this allows us to get a better feel for the different flavors in the cuisine. The entire time we kept looking at each other in amazement of how good the food was!! We will DEFINITELY be coming back for more in the future!

We had ordered from this restaurant twice online before and enjoyed the food so much, we decided to check it out in person! The food is absolutely amazing and accommodating to many diets - pescatarian, vegetarian, pork-free, etc. I would highly recommend the vegetarian special for anyone wanting to avoid meat but still indulge in flavorful, authentic Afghan food! The “Our Cake” and the “bucklawa” is also phenomenal, and if you’re visiting while she’s working there, ask for Kate as she was our waitress and did an amazing job! Will be recommending this restaurant to friends and family in the area

Great service and food, it is a must to try their rice dishes, we visited last night and had a few plates of each to share and couldn’t get over how well done the meat were. We really love their mutton, it was tender and juicy. Highly recommended by my colleague, who has great taste and is our compass for food. Sorry but I didn’t had a good picture of the food as it was too good to even wait for a good shot. That’s what left just a few minutes into service.

Highly recommend! This was my first time trying Afghani food and I was incredibly impressed. The food was absolutely delicious, high-quality and fresh. Our server, Kate, was so kind and attentive. We will definitely be back!
