NEVER COME HERE. This isn’t even Afghan food. It has no taste and no salt. I paid over $200 and I’m really really disappointed. They even got our order wrong. Please don’t use our food and make it like it’s bad.

The food doesn't even taste like Afghan dish. The atmosphere is like very tense. The was one guy cooking, serving, running the cashier, I took my family who had come from Europe but I should not have.

Great, peaceful, quiet/dinner. Felt personally loved by the chef, my experience was so empecably perfect. I enjoyed the smooth timing of each course, as well as the beautiful preparation and the wonderful flavors of my dinner. Helmand Palace is great place to enjoy a classy, delicious,well prepared meal.

Great real afghan food with reasonable price and good taste
It is deeply disappointing to see the name of Afghanistan and “Afghan” being used in association with your restaurant when neither proper hospitality nor respect for culture is being upheld. I kindly suggest that you first improve your manners and customer service, and then work on the quality of your food and the cleanliness of your establishment.
What you are serving as “Qabuli Pulao” is far from the traditional Afghan dish. In fact, it more closely resembles what is known in Afghanistan as Shorba Berenj (rice soup), which itself tastes far better than the meal you are presenting under the name of Qabuli Pulao.
Furthermore, I strongly urge you to remove the name of Helmand—one of the most respected provinces of Afghanistan—from your restaurant’s title. Such misuse not only misrepresents Afghan cuisine but also harms the image of our culture. Please do not follow the unfortunate example of others in the industry who tarnish the name and heritage of Afghanistan for profit.
