    Entrance

    4.5 stars! Maiwand Kabob offers authentic Middle Eastern cuisine; nestled between Arundel Mills Mall and Baltimore-Washington Parkway, with an abundance of free parking. After perusing the menu, we decided on Samosas (six per order) and two Chicken Kabob Entrees (subbed spinach for salad). After placing the order, we were told that prep time would be approximately 25 minutes. Although I was quite hungry, this information was much appreciated. The wait was worth it. The food arrived piping hot and prepared to perfection. Chicken was tender and well-seasoned. My only gripe is that the A/C was blasting which took away from the overall dining experience. Cozy atmosphere, friendly service, and delicious food. Highly recommend for a taste of the region. Definitely check it out if you're in the area!

    Upon entering the restaurant, I noticed that it was somewhat small and dimly lit. There were tables throughout the front of the restaurant, and the order/pickup area was at the far end. Overall, the ambiance was pleasant, and the place appeared clean. Although the staff member was busy when I arrived, he acknowledged me in less than a minute. The service was efficient, and I was in and out of the restaurant in under five minutes. My order was already waiting on the countertop. After paying for my food, I left. My order included grilled salmon, chicken kabob, rice, salad, hummus, and pita bread. I thoroughly enjoyed the perfectly cooked grilled salmon that was seasoned just right. The mildly flavored, ideally textured rice and salad were good. The hummus and pita bread complemented the meal nicely. I was pleased with the food, so this restaurant will be a close second choice for Middle Eastern fare when I'm in the mood for it.

    Stopped to grab a bite to eat for dinner. It wasnt busy. Thw atmosphere entering was not extremely bland but calm and clean. We ordered the Chicken Kabob that had the an Afgan still rice and spinach, potato samoas and drinks. Its self seating, therefore, we tried to get comfortable seating. The air conditioning vents in the summer seem to have been on blast. Before our food came to the table we had to relocate to feel at ease from the cold. Our food came out hot and as probably expected. It was tasty. The chicken kabobs for my plate was sparse and the veggies were pretty much not grilled seemingly a little (raw). The chicken was seasoned well and not dry. The rice and spinach were of great taste as well. The Samoas were ok as Ive had better at another location. Overall this was not a 5 star location but I will come back as I have gone to the other location in Baltimore City.

    Employees at this location of Maiwand Kabob were very friendly and helpful! I got a samosa appetizer, which comes with 6 pieces, and a chicken + chicken kabob platter, which comes with rice, a side salad, and naan. There was so much food for the price! I had a good amount leftover afterwards. There are not too many dine-in tables, but it was not particularly crowded when I visited on a weekday at dinner time, so you can probably get a seat if you want. Make sure to stand in line to place an order and pay before you sit. The staff brings your food out to your table. I will definitely return in the future! The food was amazingly delicious, and the employees left a great impression on me with their friendliness!

    If you like kabobs, curry, lamb, etc this is the place for you! Quality ingredients and large portions. Friendly and helpful customer service make this place shine. The ambiance is fast casual but not loud and obnoxious. I first went to Maiwand Kabob in Columbia (their original location), I have been a fan ever since. Congrats to this small business on their expansion. I can also say I have visited many of the new locations and they are fabulous. Definitely worth your time and with such a fair price, I have to recommend them!

    Chicken Jalfarazi

    Ordered the Wednesday Chicken Jalfarazi and it was delicious. The curry was on the thinner side but was still packed with flavor. Rice was cooked well. Customer service was good as well! Would recommend and get again!

    Lamb Kabob
    Brian E.

    Did an Uber eats order...it was just ok Lamb kebabs were nice, tender meat, good flavor Fries kinda sucked Hummus was surprisingly good, as was bread

    This is both the chicken kebab and beef kebab meals, but substituted the rice and salad with the courage, chickpeas, and spinach!

    Food is 10 out of 10!!! Every time I come here, the quality and customer service is superb!!! This is definitely a hole in the wall type restaurant and I would encourage people to try it not only for its quality food, but it's affordable prices

    Tandoori Bread (Naan)
    Coco T.

    I had to make a airport pick up run. The flight was delayed so I stopped to grab a bite to eat. This was my first time so I just decided to just get the day's special which was Lamb Curry. The sauce was too sweet for my liking. To me, it tasted more like the butter chicken sauce than curry. I don't think that meat was cooked in the sauce. It tasted as though the meat was cooked separate and then the sauce was poured over it. Now, the naan was so good. I ended up purchasing another naan and just eating the sauce with the naan.

    Chicken Kabob with Chickpea curry and Naan

    My favorite Maiwand Kabob in MD! I come here at least once a week and the food is amazing every single time. My usual order is the chicken kabob with chickpea curry instead of the salad. The chicken is juicy and flavorful while the naan is nice and fluffy. The best part about this place is that they have Sriracha!

My husband really enjoyed the strawberry funnel cake one as it had strawberry filling, strawberry in the cake batter and has flavorful toppings. This cupcake was 1.00 extra as it was their premium option. The key lime pie was disappointing as the only lime flavor was the drizzle on top, nothing incorporated into the cupcake itself. While I appreciate the beautiful presentation of these cupcakes and those from other similar bakeries, I just find that none of them stand out in flavor beyond what you can purchase at the store and bake at home. I also order the "pupcakes" for my dog and he really enjoyed them. They were carrot cake with a frosting and a tiny milk bone on top. They presented beautifully and smelled delicious. I almost ate one myself!

Bakery: In response to Yelper Lani M., it's true that the pastries and bread are dry and plain, but they are supposed to be in Guatemala, Mexico, and other countries in the region. The French style pastries and bread you are used to are made with lots of butter, cream, fruit jams, and sugar glazes that make them moist, rich, and strongly flavored. In contrast, Lain American pastries tend to be made without those ingredients to create a dry texture suitable for dipping in coffee and hot chocolate. Making the pastries flavorful would clash with the hot drinks. Think your noni's biscotti and your bubbe's mandelbrot.

I visited a few other times in 2024-2025. A Meetup group I'm a part of likes to go here after the dinner & game Meetup. The staff is accommodating as we are rushing to get here before 10 PM closing time, really by 9:45. The organizer of the Meetup suggested ordering ahead on the app, so they aren't so slammed with 10 (or whatever #) of people 15 minutes before closing. I heeded his advice. They are efficient getting the drinks done in a timely manner. Staff is nice, and they aren't abrupt with kicking us out the second it hits 10 PM (like Starbucks the very second it's closing time, they will practically yell at you to get the heck out of there). At Gong Cha, the staff is polite about it, and we try to still rush to clean up and get out. My girlfriend & I will split the largest size for cost & calorie efficiency. Overall, a delicious boba tea. I will say it's a bit on the expensive side in 2025 even compared with some other places, but it's still a solid choice.
