Helmand Palace Reviews
Exceptional flavors and ingredient combinations. Beautiful atmosphere, great staff, and excellent prices. I am only in San Francisco for 4 days and I might come back a second time because the food was so great. Well worth the visit!!!!!
Incredible and authentic food. Definitely try the Qabele, Kadoo, and Aushak. Reminds me of Helmand in Boston too - same exact menu.
Haitham and Marwa were extremely hospitable and nice!
I love this place!! Have been coming here since I was 16-17! Delicious food 😋

Helmand Palace is a hidden gem, serving high-quality food at fair prices. Customers praise the cozy and friendly atmosphere, as well as the genuine hospitality that reflects the warmth of the Afghan people. The owner, who started as a dishwasher, is a wonderful host, taking time to recommend dishes and explain ingredients. The restaurant offers a variety of dishes, including lamb, prime rib, and chicken options, with standout items like the QABELEE. The food is delicious, and the service is lovely and welcoming. Guests often comment on the beautiful preparation and wonderful flavors of their meals, noting that the food is never too heavy and the portions are generous. The restaurant also offers a pick-up menu and can accommodate various dietary restrictions, including a fantastic vegetarian special.
