“got different things everytime, the meat is very good and the vegetarian dishes are very special and different.”
“The combination of so-so food and absent service keeps Helmand, unfortunately (because I love variety), as the only Afghan restaurant I'll go to in the area.”
“But the food was so good and the people so nice that we'll definitely go back again.”
“The staff was very friendly and the food was just delicious!”
“The only downside is that the service was a little slow even though the place only had about 5 couples in it.”View Less
CLOSED. This place is now closed and another restaurant is in it's place serving Himalayan Mountain cuisine.
best samosas. i have been there a couple of times now. i have to say i really like this place. i got different things everytime, the meat is very good and the vegetarian dishes are very special and different. the food is very simple, healthy and has a lot of flavor. do not get fooled by the way it looks. it's a very simple place, but you'll love the food!!! and the samosas are the best in town! i would say it is one of the best hidden restaurants in boston.…
Wonderful!. My husband and I went here for Valentine's Day and we really loved it. The staff was very friendly and the food was just delicious! They had a variety of vegetarian dishes, and I ended up eating the Afghan "ravioli" filled with scallions. My husband had a lovely dish called Mantwo, which were like dumplings filled with beef. Both of us were pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed our experience. The only downside is that the service was a little slow even though the place only had about 5 couples in it. But the food was so good and the people so nice that we'll definitely go back again.…
I Love this place!. My fiance and I visited this restaurant and fell in love with it. Their lassi's are the best that I have ever tried. I ate the Vegetarian special and it was delicious. Just wish it was cheaper so we can eat there more often!…
Bad Experience. I was really happy to hear that there was another Afghani restaurant opened in Boston beside Helmand. However, this was a very bad experience for all of us. There was 3 of us and we ordered simple dishes and our bill came up to $135. On top, the meat was old and tasted really bad. They charged us $3 for our soft drinks. I will never go back again. Afghan food is good, but I am not sure what they are cooking.…
