We had a party of 7 that had to start dinner early due to a show at Peabody. The manager said they would open one hour earlier for our group and prepare a host of delectable entrees for us to share and experience. Everything was fresh, interesting and full of flavor. Our waiter was wonderful and as it became packed... more

The only good thing about this restaurant was our waiter who busted his hump not only for us but for his other tables. Outside of that - this place was horrible! First - another waiter attempted to steal our waiters tip. The atmosphere was a mix of wanna-be's & guys that dressed like they just walked off the set of... more

Not much to say that hasn't been said already. This place is wonderful! I had the Chicken Kebob which was amazing. The bread is phenomenal and you should definitely order it even though there is a charge. I was very skeptical about Afgani food before we went here but was so pleasantly surprised! Also had the pumpkin and eggplant appetizers... more

Have been a huge fan of the Helmand from the very first time I visited Baltimore in the '90's, and after moving there 10 years ago. Everything on the menu, from the Pumpkin (Kaddo Borwani) to the Dwopiaza, Aushak, and Kabuli is amazing. And the desserts, especially the Ice Cream with Figs and nuts, are great. more

I have gone here many times for many years. The service is very good, the food is always consistently good and they even have real table clothes. The only draw backs is that they are very efficient and often times you are finished your meal way before you are finished your conversation. It can be noisy and it is often... more

This is my favorite place to eat in the Baltimore area. I've been numerous times and it's always been awesome. This is the place I take all out of town guests. Make sure you get reservations for the weekends. It's always packed. more
