This is a caption too
 
Incorporating the herbs and spices of India, Iran, Greece, and Afghanistan - the dishes offered at The Helmand evoke sentiments of a culture through an exotic blend of taste and aroma.

The Helmand offers an extensive full course menu of lamb, seafood, beef and chicken dishes as well as eggplant, spinach and other fresh vegetable options. With appetizers like the Kaddo Borawni (tenderly baked and pan fried baby pumpkin seasoned with sugar and served atop a yogurt garlic sauce), and entrees of char-broiled lamb tenderloin, marinated and served with pallow (rice that is boiled, seasoned with oils and spices prior to baking) - the quality and the delicacy of preparation extends to every selection on the menu.

About Helmand

Specializing in Afghan cuisine.


Enriching the city of Baltimore with a dining experience brimming with history, culture, and exotic spices.

The Helmand has helped introduce and popularize Afghan Cuisine in America within the last 20 years. The Helmand was named after the owner's first born son, as well as in honor of the famed Helmand River that runs through the predominantly dry country of Afghanistan, bringing vitality and nourishment to it's people. Much like this river, The Helmand of Baltimore provides their guests with enjoyment in the form of exquisite food prepared with care and dedication. First established in the autumn of 1989, The Helmand is proudly celebrating 32 years!
