I normally go to the Fulton/Maple Lawn restaurant but I was nearby and decided to try this one. I was not disappointed! Located in the Columbia Crossing shopping center near Nordstrom Rack (for a point of reference). I placed a take out order for chicken kebabs with white rice, salad and bread. My food was ready pretty quickly. The employee who rang me up was helpful and courteous. I think her name was Alicia. I love their green sauce. I asked for extra and the manager (I think) obliged. He was very kind. Thank you!. The food was fresh and delicious. Yummy in my tummy. I'd visit here again if I'm in the area!
Two stars for excellent customer service and the restaurant space itself was well appointed. Otherwise, I ordered a gyro salad and it was not good. When the food first arrived, I realized it had the type of rice that has a cinnamon flavor to it, and I do not like cinnamon. I let the girls at the counter know, and shortly I received a new plate with white rice. However, the whole thing was slathered in sauces I didn't like and the gyro meat wasn't good at all. I still took it to go and my friend's kids ate it. Would definitely not order this again.
I always have a fantastic time at Maiwand! This spot has a nice-sized seating area and a cozy partitioned section that gives a sense of privacy--perfect for a relaxed meal. We ordered the chicken shawarma platter, which comes with rice, a salad (you can swap out the salad for fries for just $2 extra), and the Chicken Tikka. Both dishes were served with warm, fluffy Naan. If you've been here, you know the food is delicious! The flavors are on point, the portions are just right, and everything is served with a smile.
It was my first time here and I gotta tell you it was AMAZING!!! Everything I saw, ate, and the way I was being served. The service is excellent with the waiter explaining everything that I had questions about and the way they were treating us. I would highly recommend to come here and give it a try.
Two thumbs up to Maiwand Kabob!! Decided to give it a try after passing it by for months. I'm not a huge kabob fan, but this place is so much more than that. I stopped in on a Friday night and saw that the daily special was lamb curry with potatoes. Yummy!! They have a different special each day of the week. Since this was my first visit I didn't want to get too carried away with my order, so I just grabbed the special which was right around $15. Can't beat that. The place is really nice inside and great for dining in. I grabbed mine to go. I noticed some of the reviews said their food took a long time. I didn't experience that. Food was ready in 10 mins. Granted it could have been what I ordered. Got home and couldn't wait to dig in. The portion is huge and could turn into two meals. You get a large serving of rice, the lamb and potatoes, side salad and naan. Whoa!!! Everything had amazing flavor, the lamb was nice and tender, and the green sauce it comes with is so fresh and light. I will say, the curry lamb was a bit on the greasy side but I assume that's just how this dish comes. Overall a win for me! Look forward to trying some of their other dishes.
First of all our server Valentina is the sweetest human being. She was so pleasant and accommodating to our needs. That she gave us everything we asked for with such a sweet smile. She was very lovely and we were all very happy with her service. The food was amazing. Everything was great. The meats were soft and the naan bread was divine. The mango shake was soooooo good. I love it! It was just the right amount of sweetness. The whole place was huge and beautiful. With nice chandeliers so it doesn't feel like just a regular restaurant. It elevates it a little bit. It was very spacious.
Pretty great service from pretty great staff !! I was greeted by Mishell S upon entry, and she was so helpful. I had more questions than a curious toddler. The dining area was very clean and welcoming. I ordered the Monday Chef's Special, which was Curry Lamb. It came out pretty fast and was tasty. You get a lot of bang for your buck !! 2 sides, an entrée and bread. I definitely had leftovers. I will return to try a few other menu items. Give it a try if you haven't already. You won't be disappointed.
I'm a regular here. The place is always clean. The food is always delicious. Fair price for the quality of the food. What other reasons can I give to give this place a try.
I have been here before and will continue to come back. I had no idea this is the original location. Staff is nice and courteous. Food is delicious. Best Hummus, rich and creamy, this maybe the best Hummus around. I had the daily special, Good food at a good value. Drink selection is not the best.
Valencia and Kumar gave excellent service tonight. I came in right before closing and they treated me like I was their first customer. Valencia made sure that my food was perfect. Lamp chops, naan, pumpkin, and vegetable samosas were perfect! Mistakenly I left the review on the Fulton location and it was meant for Columbia! Best service !!
Love this place, the food is constantly great. The place is clean and the staff is friendly. Does need better lighting, feels like it could be brighter
Dined here for dinner last night and glad I go to try this place out! I started to become a little impatient with the 20 minute wait since the restaurant wasn't crowded, but was told the kabobs take a little while to cook. And I rather them cook it the right way for it to be delicious and oh it definitively was. I had the daily special which was the chicken curry and my husband the chicken tikka kabob. Chicken curry was good, not spicy. Both dishes come with rice, salad, naan, and a very tasty sauce. The standout was the chicken tikka kabob, seasoned and tasted very nicely. Even the rice with it was different from mine and I loved the spices it was cooked with. Enjoyed the naan too. Huge portions and definitely great price point for all the food you get, plus quality. Restaurant is super clean (as well its bathroom). Staff is friendly. Definitely will be a repeat customer!
I ordered the Chicken Malai Kabob, which comes with a ton of rice, salad, and a cup of chutney. I made my own yogurt sauce and ate the kabobs with Cava brand harissa. The chicken was amazing! The rice was perfectly cooked and seasoned and tasted excellent! The salad was a good amount to balance the meal. So pleased! The staff were all friendly as well. I will definitely be back!

We're foodies who LOVE eating out and I just knew that we'd been here. My husband was right, haha. There are two doors to ease the traffic flow. One guides you to the register and the other is the exit. Staff will ask whether you are taking out or dining in. If dining in, you will be given a menu and may choose your table to await table service. They have the cutest little bench adorned with flowers for photo ops. We sat there while waiting for our to go order. There is no music playing, perfect for conversations. The food is fresh and delicious! I have a feeling that we'll be going back! read more
11 years later, I still love my Maiwand Kabob. This is one of six locations of this name. All of them are delicious, but a couple of notes about this location: * The printed menu is pretty short, but they do have a much longer menu online (I've found I can order those items in-store also, but you need to know to look for them) * It has a larger dining area, and offers table service for groups or if you have mobility limited folks in your party * Online ordering cuts off an hour before store close, but you can still call your order in after that * Don't forget about dessert! Unsurprisingly they have great baklava, but the cheesecake variants are sleeper hits Afghan remains one of the best combination of affordable and savory in the area, it's a great way to eat well and support a local business while you're at it! read more

Overall: delicious food, fair prices, cute casual and clean ambiance, okay service We get take out from here often, but went inside for the first time in a long time. The food is excellent. The portion sizes are filling and the prices are fair for the quality of food. I especially love their kofta, eggplant, fries, and green sauce. They have high chairs. I was too full for dessert but they have lots of really unique and delicious looking desserts. I want to go back for the rose ice cream. I didn't love that we were given plastic cups with plastic lids and plastic silverware when we were dining in. I'm trying to reduce the amount of plastic send to landfills and I would prefer reusable things when I'm dining in. read more

Clean restaurant and decent Indian food! DO NOT be fooled this is not Afghan food. Its a poor man's attempt and quite frankly an insult because I am from Afghanistan not to mention from California where we have authentic Afghan restaurants. I ordered what looked like Qabali palow (seasoned rice with carrots and raisins) and to my surprise there were a couple raisins with a few strands of thin carrots. Why so stingy with the raisins and carrots?! The baked bolani was so disappointing. First off who bakes a bolani? It should be fried, ALWAYS! So apparently they don't serve fried bolani on Wednesdays so we resorted to the baked one. They couldn't even do that right because I was literally eating dough. I really wanted to like this place but it just wasn't happening. It definitely caters to the desi community! Apparentky it's afghan owned which is very disappointing. read more

Hello I’m sorry our food was not up to par with your standards. We…
My family has been coming here for years and it's a nice spot to chill and get some kabobs. Their chicken kabob is my go to with a side salad and their rice. I wish there was more salad and less rice. Their veggie samosas are good thought they're not traditional tasting by any means. I've tried their beef before, but their chicken is honestly better. The beef tasted dry and lacking in flavor or juiciness for me. There's definitely much better kabob places even regarding their chicken, but for a local spot and to satisfy that kabob craving, they're pretty good! read more
My goodness! This place is tasty! I've been wanting some kabobs for a while and Maiwand Kabob didn't disappoint. I had to pick something up from Target (of course) and decided to place an order to go since I was nearby. I ordered a combination platter which consisted of chicken and lamb kabobs. The platter came with rice, salad and some green chutney. The chicken and lamb were flavorful and tender. The rice was fragrant and I can tell that they used some spices that you wouldn't typically expect like cinnamon. The rice also had raisins but everything about it just worked. I'm drooling as I write this review. At the time of my visit, they were only doing carryout due to covid but I was very pleased with the packaging of my food and the staff were nice. I'm currently drooling as I'm writing this review. I may have to visit again sooner than later. read more

We came here for dinner one evening to try a new place for a change of pace. We ordered kebobs and our daughter got a kids meal with chicken fingers. The food was very good and the service was good after an initial mishap where they forgot to give us menus. Everyone was very friendly and we enjoyed our meal. The place itself could be dressed up a bit decor wise. read more

Beautifully decorated restaurant. When you walk in you instantly notice the chandeliers, and the famous portrait of Sharbat Gula/'Afghan Girl'. They used to have an indoor waterfall by the door for as long as I could remember, but it wasn't there the last time I went. For a place that looks upscale the prices are excellent. The dinner plates have generous portions and nearly every entree is under $20. The naan was freshly baked. The kebobs were succulent and made with good quality meat. Rice normally isn't the star of a dish, but over here that wasn't the case. The brown rice is a pilaf seasoned with warm spices and has raisins and shredded carrots mixed in. read more

I order from you guys all the time The quality of the chicken is a hit or miss. Sometimes very juicy. Sometimes really dry and Y'all jacking up prices which is fine I get it...inflation. But then why are you forgetting to put the main thing - CHICKEN when the order is for Chicken Kabob? Not good read more

Very disappointed. I ordered a lamb gyro and there was barely any meat, and the fries.... they looked and tasted like leftover fries. Get it right read more
If you only eat Halal and love Kabobs and don't want to break the bank, look no further. Now this place isn't fancy, but it's great for family dinners, group meet ups and quick bites. My friends and I ordered the veggie samosas, chicken samosas, eggplant, pumpkin, baba ganoush, naan, mango lassis, mint lemonade, lamb, shrimp, chicken kabobs, literally everything off the menu. We wanted to try it all. I must say everything was absolutely mouth watering. We had an absolute blast while enjoying scrumptious and very modestly priced dishes. I will have to add this to the list of restaurants to continue to visit when I'm in Maryland. read more
