" Kabobi By The Helmand is a charming spot that serves delicious Afghan food. I love how they prepare their kabobs; it's a crowd-pleaser! You can't miss the banjan borani—it's such a comforting dish. The staff was very nice and attentive to our needs. Although the place was a bit packed when we arrived, we didn’t wait long for service, and the food came out quickly. I would definitely recommend eating here! Good value for the quality and flavors offered. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wanted to explore Afghan food for the first time and chose Kabobi. The food was fantastic! I was amazed by the array of flavors in every dish. The lamb kabob was juicy, and the vegetarian dishes were equally delicious. The vibrant colors in the food presentation were delightful. The service was friendly and seems like they want to make everyone happy. I had a great time here, and I definitely recommend it to anyone curious about Afghan cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Kabobi By The Helmand and it was an unforgettable experience! The ambiance was warm and inviting, perfect for family gatherings. I sampled the Kabuli Pulao with lamb, which was brilliantly spiced and tender. My favorite dish was easily the Banjan Borani, which was so flavorful and complemented the main course wonderfully. The service was exemplary, with our waiter offering helpful suggestions and checking in on us frequently. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to enjoy authentic Afghan cuisine in a comfortable setting. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited here on a whim after reading some reviews, and I was not disappointed. The Kabuli Pulao was delicious, with the perfect balance of spices. While the portion sizes were generous, I found the lamb kabob a bit underwhelming compared to the rest of the menu. The ambiance is very casual; I appreciated that it felt welcoming without being pretentious. Service was decent. Overall, it’s a solid place for good Afghan food, but I’d recommend trying something other than the kabob. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious doesn't even begin to describe the food at Kabobi. I loved the lamb dishes, especially the kebabs, which were grilled to perfection. The flavors were rich and satisfying. Moreover, their customer service is on point; the staff was welcoming and very attentive to our needs. My only grievance would be with the seating area, which felt a bit cramped. Regardless, this is a restaurant I will definitely return to for another amazing meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a lover of Middle Eastern cuisine, I was excited to try Kabobi By The Helmand. The atmosphere is casual, yet the decor gives it a nice touch of authenticity. I ordered the Mantu dumplings, which were rich and flavorful, paired wonderfully with the dipping sauce. The service was friendly, but I noticed they were a bit overwhelmed during peak hours, leading to slow service. However, the food more than made up for it. If you're looking for good Afghan food in the area, I highly recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)
