Helmand Restaurant is one of our 2012
Hot 10 Baltimore Restaurants|
| Helmand is comfortable enough for every day, but not inappropriate for a special occasion. It is exotic in that this food is Afghani, yet not so challenging that your finickiest friends won't enjoy every bite. How does Helmand do it? And how can it charge so little for such generous, well-prepared meals? Many of the ingredients for such addictive dishes as kaddo borwani (spiced pumpkin mash with lightly garlicky yogurt sauce), aushak (delicate ravioli filled with leeks, topped with minty ground beef and yogurt), and koufta challow (rice with lamb and beef meatballs, sun-dried raisins and spices) are sourced at the restaurant’s own organic Fig Leaf Farm. Expect to be treated like a visiting dignitary and to be enticed by the extensive vegetarian menu. Members of the Karzai family---Afghanistan’s first family---are the owners, and there could be no better ambassadors for their country’s cuisine. |
