Summary: Aromatic Afghan cuisine with a cozy ambiance.
The Helmand, a treasure in the heart of Cambridge, offers a vibrant atmosphere and a taste of Afghanistan's rich culinary heritage. The restaurant's décor, complete with summer squash-colored walls and Persian rugs, sets the scene for an exotic dining experience. The Helmand's menu draws from the diverse influences of the Silk Road, featuring aromatic and spicy dishes like ravioli with leeks and scallions, and the distinguished chowpan – grilled tender lamb with eggplant and rice. The carefully curated wine list complements the flavors of the cuisine, while desserts like caramel pudeen and Turkish coffee provide a sweet finish to a memorable meal. This local favorite is not just a place to eat, but a destination for those seeking a warm, classy environment and the rich, melting-pot cuisine of Afghanistan.
