The food here is amazing, with the best part being to bread they serve at the beginning of the meal. It comes with a range of sauces and butter. There’s a wood fired oven they have running to make the bread and it comes out hot and fresh. Full wine selection and have never had a bad meal here. Good service. FIVE STARS !!

This was my first time dining at Helmand, and it was outstanding. The food was exceptional and the service was excellent from start to finish. Walayat truly made the evening with thoughtful recommendations and attentive hospitality. I will absolutely be back and I highly recommend Helmand.

The fresh-out-of-oven table bread alone is worth it! Lamb chops and cinnamon rice are yummy too. Gets busy even on a week night, but the space wasn’t overly noisy. Will come back!

Appetizers and bread were good but the main courses were lacking in meat portion size and seemed overpriced for what we got. The pineapple cake was lovely on the top part but bottom layer was very dry. Cocktails were so-so.

Some of the best food I have had in the Boston area!
The Helmand restaurant is a wonderful place to enjoy authentic Afghan cuisine in a warm and inviting setting. The food is absolutely delicious, full of rich flavors and beautifully prepared. The service is excellent, with friendly and attentive staff who make you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. A special mention goes to the host, Walayat, whose kindness and professionalism truly stand out. The cozy and pleasant atmosphere, combined with lovely Afghan music playing in the background, creates a relaxing and memorable dining experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great food and hospitality. We were a group of 12 well accommodated. Thanks Guys!

Really excellent homey cooking on a cold winter day. Everything from the soups to the starter bread to the lamb chops were great quality and satisfying. We would definitely come back!

First time experiencing the cuisine of Afghanistan, and I can report that it was fantastic. Every dish we ate was delicious--bread basket with 3 dips, 3 appetizers, a split lamb entree, and a split dessert rang up to a very reasonable total. Service was friendly and attentive.
