Helmand Kabobi Cafe

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 absolutely enjoy visiting this restaurant for lunch with my wife. The portion sizes are generous, the food is incredibly delicious, and the prices are reasonable. It's definitely worth the trip, even if you're not in the Hopkins area.

The food was tasty but they left the drink out of my pickup order. I had to go back and was told they didn't carry that drink even though it was on the menu. So why didn't they tell me when I came the first time? They couldn't be bothered. With that attitude they don't deserve to have customers.Food: 4/5 Ver carta

If you're seeking a restaurant where you’ll feel like part of the family, benefit from an enlightening wine lesson from a gracious owner, and savor exceptional food, look no further. It's rare to find a place that rivals Kabobi's five-star experience. This restaurant won't merely make your top ten list; it will likely become one of your absolute favorites.

I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. The young male server, wearing glasses and AirPods, was quite rude and disrespectful. His lack of hospitality and manners made our visit unpleasant. He took a long time to check in with our table, and we often struggled to find him. On September 20, 2022, it felt like we were left waiting for far too long. I believe he shouldn't be in a serving role.

So happy to have a small version of The Helmand near my workplace! The food is awesome. My favorites are the pumpkin appetizer (Kaddo Borani) and the rice bowl with lamb (Kabuli Pallow). The potatoe chickpea salad (Shornakhod) is super tasty and you get a big portion for a small price. Prices in general are lower than at the main restaurant on Charles Street. It can get busy during lunch hours, so make sure you get there before 12:30. I highly recommend this place! Ver carta

First time there. Went around 1:45 on a Friday, place was empty. I was ordering takeout. Very surprised by the ambiance of the interior as it was totally unexpected based on the exterior. The traffic on Wolfe street seems to hide this neighborhood gem. The hostess was super nice explained the menu as I'd never eaten Afghan food before. Ordered the beef kabob meal. Food was good. wait wasn't long. Price is average. Would like to stroll back over dine in so I can get the full experience explore the menu more. Yes I'd recommend.

I visited this restaurant again with my coworkers and had a wonderful experience. Although I considered trying something different, I ultimately ordered the dwopiaza once more and enjoyed it immensely. I also had a taste of a coworker’s soup (the name escapes me) and a piece of their naan, both of which were delightful. The service was outstanding, just as it was before. I'm starting to think that my previous four-star rating might have been a bit too low, especially considering the restaurant's reasonable prices. I wanted to update my old review, but I couldn't find a way to do that. In any case, I'm sure we'll be returning soon!

It was easy to find street parking on a Tuesday evening. Ambience: spacious, clean and cozy. Was not crowded at all. We got shorwa and shornakhod for starters and they were fine but nothing too special. For entree we got kabuli pallow and chicken kabob and they were both very flavorful. The meat in the pallow was tender and juicy. The chicken kabob was very well made as well. Would definitely recommend both. For dessert we got fereny and jaala vanilla ice cream and we really loved them both. Service was slow and poor, hence would rate the overall experience as 3.5-4 stars. still not a bad option for some good afghani food. #afghancuisine #kabuli Ver carta
