Afghan Restaurants near Baltimore, MD

“The most delicious food! Good pricing. Celiac-friendly. Owner on site and lovely.“

“Just discovered a gem nearby. I ate at Kandahar on 36th Street. It is owned by the previous general manager of The Helmand. What a delight. Most reasonable prices and the food was excellent. The last few times I went to the downtown location it wasn't as good, I now know why. If you haven't been there, I promise, you won't be disappointed. 5 stars“

“The food was great! The owner explained how he brought food recipes from Afghanistan. Two of us shared the Kabuli Gosht Palau with Kabul eggplant. We also had the pumpkin called Kabul Kaddo that comes with bread. The flavors and freshness of the food are what stand out to me. We also enjoyed the Shugufa (means flower bud in Arabic) tea. It’s a whole pot of tea with a flower in it. It had a subtle flavor and aromatic smell. We ended with an order of Baklava. Everything tastes like it’s from someone’s home and unlike anything I’ve had in a restaurant. The prices are reasonable for the quality of the food. The restaurant, though, is small. Make a reservation so you are sure to be seated. The restaurant seems to do a lot of takeout. The business also displays beautiful rugs for sale that adds to the feel of Afghanistan. For me, the experience of eating the food and drinking the tea in this sweet place was calm and comforting.“

“Wow. I have had 3 different meals here in last 10 days. 2 to go orders and a dine in. Absolutely wonderful each time. Clean, quick, high quality ingredients, and good service are some attributes of this place.“

“I usually order the Tuesday chicken curry special which is really good. I decided to try the Wednesday special Chicken Jalfarazi . It was very delicious. The chicken was very flavorful and the sauce. The rice is always cooked perfect. I was inquiring about the spice level and The Gentleman that took my order was very nice to allow me to sample before purchasing.“

“Freshest chicken kabob salad anywhere! Middle of December. It’s as if each leaf of lettuce was single hand-picked. Chicken was moist and tasty with just the right amount of sumac.“
