Had a main dish for lunch the other day, and two small plates for dinner later in the week. Absolutely fantastic food. Tasty, unique, with an abundance of interesting Menu options to explore. And the proportions are very sizable. Highly recommended!

Kabobi By The Helmand is one of the best Afghan restaurants I’ve visited in Northern Virginia. The food was fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. Every dish was prepared with care, and the quality really stood out. The kabobs were perfectly cooked, the Kabuli rice was delicious, and everything tasted homemade. I ... highly recommend Kabobi By The Helmand to anyone looking for authentic Afghan cuisine and excellent service. I’ll definitely be coming back! Read More

If you are new to Afghan cuisine or familiar with Americanized versions, you will be in for a treat. This is an authentic Afghan restaurant. The kofta, spiced meat, and kadoo, roasted pumpkin, are exceptional. I always stop here whenever I'm dropping someone off or picking them up at IAD, and I recommend you do the ... same. Read More
