Helmand Restaurant offers Afghani dishes with a wood-burning oven where the famous flatbread is cooked on one side of the room and an intimate fireplace is on the other side.

Helmand Restaurant entrées include tasty choices like qabelee, which is pallow rice baked with chunks of lamb tenderloin, raisins and glazed carrots or mantwo, a homemade pasta shell filled with beef and onions. If you like spicy dishes, try the koufta challow, consisting of beef meatballs with Afghan seasoning sautéed with sun-dried tomato, hot peppers and green peas in a fresh tomato sauce. Several vegetarian entrées are also available such as the kaddo and banjan challow, which is pan fried and baked pumpkin and eggplant served with challow rice and yogurt garlic sauce.

*Due to limited patio seating, we do not take reservations for our patio . Please note the patio or any other special requests in your reservation, or ask upon arrival, and we will do our best to accommodate.

Nice place and vibe. Service was acceptable but unexceptional, less than informative. Took a second request to get bottle wine to the table. It basically arrived at same time as food. My date and I sat slurping water for 15 minutes. Food was tasty but protein portions very small. Lots of rice and mushroom. A few small pieces of lamb and chicken. Price, restrooms and seating good.

We ordered the mixed plate. It was filled with nearly all of the various types of meats available and multiple styles of rice. It was incredibly filling and delicious.

We came here a year ago and had a very nice dinner, but this time it was such a drastic different experience. The dinner started off great with our table for 11 ready for us, and their appetizer bread was delicious. We ordered 3 of the mantwo and kadoo each, and the kadoo was delicious. We placed our entree orders, and this is when the disappointment started. It was an hr before they brought the food, and during that time, my wife had asked 4 different times just for a water refill, but besides each person saying ok, no one came to refill. We noticed another table of diners leave because they weren't getting service. The food came, and the lamb entrees were awesome. I ordered an entree with beef tenderloin, and it had a bad burnt taste to the sear. Overall, we were disappointed by this dinner experience.
The Helmand RestaurantA répondu le 29 juillet 2024
We deeply regret that your recent visit did not meet expectations, especially considering your previous positive experience. We're sorry for the hour-long wait for your entrees and the lack of water refills despite multiple requests. This service lapse is unacceptable, and we apologize for the frustration it caused. Your feedback about the burnt taste of the beef tenderloin is concerning, and we will address it with our kitchen staff to prevent future issues. While we’re pleased you enjoyed the lamb entrees. We strive to provide memorable dining experiences and clearly fell short. We hope you'll give us another chance to offer the exceptional service and food quality you deserve.

Food seems very expensive and not that good by my standard. Service was not the best. They put 3 people on a tiny table. We asked for one of the 4 tables that were empty and they said it’s reserve. We ordered three appetizers and when they brought it they realize the three appetizer plates will not even fit on the table which supposed to be for three people. They finally decide to move to 4 person table. Food was mediocre at best. Won’t go there again

We apologize for your disappointing experience. It's concerning to hear that you found our food expensive and not up to your standards, and that our service was not satisfactory. The table that was originally given is usually used for 3 guests, but we do understand the desire for a bigger table, at times it just depends on the how many reservations of 4 tops we have in that same time period. It's unfortunate that the appetizers couldn't fit on the table and that you had to be moved after they were served. We strive to provide excellent food and service, and we regret that we fell short during your visit. We hope you'll consider giving us another chance to improve your experience in the future.
