I have been planning to visit this restaurant for a long time and really wanted to love it, but was so disappointed with the... food quality. I have Afghan friends and have tried their delicious food both homemade and in authentic restaurants and ourexperience at Helmand was nothing close to it. The grilled meats were over-tenderized and the lamb shank had a bad smell.Ghabelee is my favorite Afghan food and the one at Helmand butchered my good experience from its taste. If you look forauthentic Afghan food, I do not recommend this overpriced restaurant at the time of writing this review. Read more
We had dinner here a few days ago, it was our first time trying Afghan food, and it was absolutely amazing. The waiter was very... helpful in recommending dishes to try. We ordered the vegetarian specialty and the chowpan (half rack of lamb entree) as well asthe aushak and bowlawni. Everything was super delicious. The food was fresh and not too heavy. The menu also has lots of optionsfor different dietary requirements. They also have patio seating (in the summer) that is first come first serve. The inside alsohas a nice ambiance with a big bread oven in the center - it would probably be very cozy for the winter! Read more
The restaurant is quite pricey, but so worth it! We've never tried Afghan food before, but the server was very helpful and had... great recommendations. The food was top-notch, with big portions, and the atmosphere is also great. Read more
Amazing food! The place has a nice ambience and good service, however, the food is simply amazing. I had the CHAPENDAZ, The... meat was excellent and then there was like this pumpkin puree on top of cabbage which was also amazing. I had the rice puddingfor dessert, absolutely delicious. Read more

Overpriced place with the quality of food that was offered. Nothing much to expect from the decor. Service is quite good. I had... high expectations from the food. But as there’s not much Afghani restaurants around the place, this is the best you could get. Read more
