The Helmand is a long-standing favorite restaurant known for its powerful flavors and well-crafted dishes. Located in the MT Vernon area of Baltimore, it offers a lovely ambiance that enhances the dining experience. The food is delicious, with Afghan cuisine that is interesting and very palatable, often compared to north Indian food while still being unique. While some aspects like tepid food and paper menus were a bit disappointing, the Afghan ice cream, baklava, and rich coffee were highlights. For gluten-free diners, the chicken kebab is a flavorful delight, complemented by amazing sauces. The Kaddo Borwani is highly recommended and pairs well with their freshly baked Naan. The pudding dessert is also fantastic, even for those who typically do not care for dessert. With reasonable prices for an upscale restaurant, The Helmand is a fabulous spot for locals and visitors alike, perfect for a memorable meal, whether dining alone or with a group.
