Fries with Cilantro Yogurt sauce - Good
Sowmya V.

Our first time at Maiwand disappointed us. We really looked forward to trying their Fried Bolani, Lamb with potatoes (Friday special) and Chicken wrap but unfortunately we couldn't finish anything. Fried Bolani was over fried with the bread becoming extremely hard. Pan frying them instead would have helped them better than deep frying. Lamb with potatoes dish was for some reason, really sweet and oily. It was okay for the first 2 bites, but got sickly sweet after then. Chicken wrap lacked flavors and tasted unfortunately really bland. The only saving grace was their Cilantro yogurt sauce and the fries. This restaurant was in my bookmarks for a while and seeing all the amazing reviews, I'm quite surprised to write this review. I might give them another try to check out their other dishes though.

Chicken Shawarma wrap: $13.99
Clariee J.

Very good! I got a chicken shawarma wrap with a salad and babaganoush. The wrap was really good; the meat was juicy and seasoned well. It came with a side of sauce, but the wrap was so juicy, you really don't need it. The babahanoush was good too, though I thought it was bitter at first. Turns out it's just smoked. I'd taken a bite of my wrap before the baba, and I think the flavors clashed at first. The baba came cold and I prefer it warm, so I stuck it in the microwave for about 30 seconds to get it to the temp and texture that I like. It came with a big piece of naan. The side salad was typical, though it didn't come with any dressing. Great meal!

Chicken Kabob

Fast & friendly service, food came out quickly. Chicken kabob: reallyyyy good! The chicken is flavorful and very soft. It pairs well with the white and green sauces it comes with. Chicken shawarma wrap: large and very filling! The wrap kind of falls apart because it's so packed so use a fork! Every thing about that wrap had me excited for the next bite. I'll be ordering this again!

Indoors

We came by around 8PM on a Friday in maple lawn and were surprised to see the place near empty. There were plenty of metal seats and chairs for us to sit at in complete silence. There was one man on the counter who was very nice and helpful and a few more chefs in the back. During our time there about 3-4 people entered to grab food and leave but it was just my party of 4 there the whole time. Besides the empty interior the vibes were solid. The food was great and had a solid quantity. I ordered a chicken seekh kabob which came with a rice, massive piece of naan and a salad. For that quantity at only 16 dollars I can't complain. The food tasted solid and was quite filling. I could barely finish it all and I am quite the eater. A lot of my party could not finish all that food and so it's definitely worth the price. I did feel the food was a bit dry. They serve it all with a small packet of green sauce but if they added a yogurt or another packet of sauce it would make much more sense in my opinion. The kabob itself tasted great, and the naan was quite impressively soft and fluffy. But I wish there was more to make it all feel a bit less dry compared to other kebab places in the area. They also have water cups for everyone to grab and plenty of hot sauce and ketchup for people to take. But unfortunately they only provide that one packet of green sauce. Solid food, a bit dry, massive quantities. Will come back for some more at some point.

This has to be the best Kabob place around and the best Maiwand location (they got quite a few) in the DMV. Everything is so fresh and I love their unique sides...especially the pumpkin!

Chicken Seekh Kabob!!!

"Is this an army of unicorns killing Genghis Khan?" Darla Dudley's adoptive father inquired, staring at her school project diorama, unaware of the super-heroic secret (Shazam!) shared among Darla and all of her foster siblings, courtesy of Billy Batson. "Yes!" Darla exclaimed. "Unicorns aren't real," uttered a voice behind a video game. "It's called speculative history, Eugene. Look it up!" Little did Darla and her siblings know that, by the end of the day, Darla's quick thinking, her ability to problem-solve, and her childlike fondness for Skittles would convince monstrous unicorns to fight for them against the harpies, manticores, and cyclops, unleashed by Kalypso, and for the residents of the City of Brotherly Love: Philadelphia. But what if this tale of Greek Goddesses (Hespera, Kalypso, and Anthea) were set elsewhere, in a thriving community shopping center in Fulton, Maryland, known as Maple Lawn? Perhaps the would-be-world-devouring unicorns would surprise us there also, opting not for the Tiramisu Truffles of nearby Decadent but rather the mouthwatering kabobs of boneless chicken and lamb, seasoned ground beef, shrimp, and salmon, along with scrumptious sides of hummus, babaganoush, and pumpkin, served at Maiwand Kabob.

Food was delicious & service was great! I'll be back for sure! The rice was my favorite! Ambiance is modern as it offers greenery on the walls. I saw alot of people leaving with yellow and pink drinks. I didn't get to try one but I'm excited to have experience this place.

Lamb curry with rice and chickpea curry
Starvel D.

Stopping by this place was a wonderful accident. I was in the area, got hungry, and just decided to grab something before heading home. I walked into the restaurant, and there were just a few customers inside. The cashier was very friendly and gave great recommendations. I decided on the special that day, which was lamb curry. It came with two sides, so I selected the rice and the chickpea curry. It took five minutes or less for my order to be ready. I grabbed my bag, headed home, and hoped for the best. Oh my goodness, I should've sampled the food before I left the restaurant. If I did, I would've ordered two lamb curry specials. This was some of the best lamb I've had in a while. Actually, this may be the first time I've had lamb curry. The lamb was tender, flavorful, and melt in your mouth good. They give you plenty lamb & rice, so I was able to eat some and save some for later. I must visited again to see what other wonderful dishes this restaurant has to offer.

Valencia and another gentleman, Kumar (?) gave excellent service. Made sure that my meal was just right. I came in right before closing and they treated me like I was their first customer. You know that I thrive off of good customer service especially at restaurants. Lamb Kabob, pumpkin, naan, vegetable samosa were a HIT!

Samosa

Food was not bad. The restaurant was extremely clean, service fast. I got the samosas with a potato filling, smaller than expected but they were very good and filling. Not oily, definite plus. Overall, Nothing to write home about in this experience but was a good fast bite.

I've come here at least twice during the weekday and had nothing but great experiences. This restaurant is situated on a small street, which if your lucky you might be able to get parking during lunch time, otherwise you'll have to park further at an attached parking lot. The interior is small however I've always managed to get a seat. I attribute this to people getting their food to go during the week. The service was fast and the food was tasted great each time. I usually order the dumplings in yogurt and ground beef kabob. I especially liked the dumplings considering I never had them this style before and the yogurt has a great flavor. The portions were good and both times I came here the consistency was the same. It's not every day you can find a place that's dependable and can meet your expectations every time, that being said I'm happy I found this place.

This is only my 23rd 1-star review and crazy the 2nd business in this shopping center! See my 1-star review of Tropical Smoothie Cafe written last week (updated from my 2023 2-star review) of them. Maybe 1-2 years ago I ordered my food, and then asked for a cup of water. The guy said we have bottled water for sale, and I said no, just a free cup of water with my meal. He said we don't do that here, and told him I'm not giving any money and to cancel my order. I suggested to him that they should start giving courtesy cups of water with meal. A few months ago I was over there, and I wanted to test if Naz's changed a year later. They still didn't. The cashier said that all the Naz's don't offer the courtesy cup except for Columbia location as they had taken over the Halal Guys, which the set up of the restaurant was different for the coke machine. I've considered to try the Columbia location once, but I'm skeptical because it's still Naz's company policy to not offer courtesy cup of water to a paying food customer. It's not just that the Burtonsville only location are being jerks; it's Naz's as a whole. On Sunday, July 13, as a hail mary after the 1-star Burtonsville Tropical Smoothie Cafe right next door (see my recent review) was going to charge me $1.35 per cup of water even though we would've been paying customers. I said to my girlfriend, I'm sure Naz's will deny the water too, but let's test them, and I asked do you give a free cup of water with meal, which cashier once again said no. So, we ended up at ISAAC's across the street. I'll get around to a 5-star review of them in the future. My girlfriend said this shopping center sucks! Only Tropical Smoothie to not give courtesy cup + Naz's right next door. Also, it's the worst Roy Rogers location even though in March 2019, I see I wrote a 4-star review; various more recent experiences warrant 2-star for them if I ever get around to it. And the worst Greene Turtle I've been to; see my 3-star of the Burtonsville location. For good restaurants, go across the street to ISAAC's, Playa Bowl, or even freakin' Chipotle!

But what if, instead of the Douglas fir-dominated city of Portland, those thriving communities of Wesen could be found instead in the small town of Laurel, Maryland, centrally located between the major metropolises of Baltimore and Washington, DC? And what if, as in the show, Nick temporarily lost his Grimm abilities and had to resort to observing what, to the rest of us, looks like human behavior? Nick would have to choose spots that would appeal to multiple communities. One such spot, located at 13600 Baltimore Ave, adjacent to PetSmart, is Jalapeño Fresh Mexican Bistro, which serves memorable Halal Mexican dishes (taco bowls, quesadillas, burritos) in addition to delicious Halal Afghan and Indian fusion entrees (Tandoori Chicken, Lamb Shank or Chops, the Chicken Tikka Club, Veggie Platter, Kofta, and Naan). There, Nick might come across the reformed Blutbad (wolf) Monroe, a clock repairer, who, to the disdain of his family, has shunned red meat and become a vegetarian; the Fuchsbau (fox) Rosalie, whose woge (pronounced vohguh) transformation is much more subtle and who shares a similarly powerful sense of smell; the helpful yet cowardly and often-meddling Eisbiber (ice beaver) Bud; or even one of the darker, more dangerous species--the Hexenbiest (witch-beast), Hundjager (dog-hunter), or Lausenschange (snake). All might find entrees for purchase that appeal to their cloaked or hidden forms. But, if you bring kids, be cautious to avoid the weeping woman seated at a corner table, outwardly showing grief for her lost children. She might just be La Llorona, a specter even a Grimm should be wary of.
