    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)

    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
    Chadric A.

    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!

    Chicken Tikka Kabob
    Eun P.

    I got the chicken tikka kabob which was delicious! The rice was well flavored, the salad was fresh, and the chicken was super tender and juicy. A great spot to grab a satisfying meal!

    Chicken kabob entree

    Delicious, hot and fresh kabob. Friendly staff and perfect spot for a quick lunch. I didn't see lots of family takeout options, more so individual dishes. I will return.

This small, family-owned restaurant offers freshly prepared, well-seasoned South Asian cuisine in a quiet, welcoming setting. The food was flavorful, generously portioned, and made to order. We enjoyed chicken karahi, chapli kabab, chicken seekh kabab, goat curry, and chana, followed by tea. The freshly grilled meats were tender and aromatic, and the house-made breads were warm and delicious. Though the restaurant may appear unassuming from the outside, its food quality makes the visit truly worthwhile. The owner, Manzoor Ahmad, and his staff were warm, attentive, and gracious. We appreciated the pleasant conversation with the owner and the thoughtful gesture of complimentary items. The only drawback was the service time, since most dishes are prepared fresh on a small grill, resulting in a noticeable wait. However, the freshness and taste more than compensated for the delay. Overall, we had an excellent dining experience and would gladly make the relatively long drive again to enjoy their authentic and satisfying cuisine. Zafar Iqbal, PhD, Herndon, VA

Upon entering, we were met with graffiti inspired artwork on the walls, which was cool. We perused the menu and decided to order. They have different levels of spice for your chicken and decided on an order that was mild (2 sandwich meal) , medium, (2 sandwich meal) and extra hot (I was warned by my daughter to rethink this option, but, alas, I did not heed her warning; 1 tender 1 sandwich meal). They had the spiciest level, reaper, which you have to sign a waiver to purchase, I wasn't that crazy y'all... Food delivery service was available and they had an LED board with which ones each order was under. The service was great with the associates very pleasant at the counter. We also ordered a fruit punch slushy, but it was TOO sweet for me and I couldn't finish it. If you love sweet drinks, this would be the one for you! We were given a buzzer and we didn't wait long for our order to be ready. The orders were accompanied by crinkle cut fries (we got cheese on ours for an extra cost) along with a small container of coleslaw, pickle slices, and Dave's Sauce. The fries were good with that cheese sauce: fresh, crispy, not greasy and the sauce tasting like real cheese. Now....I pride myself on enjoying a good hot spiced item from time to time... but my extra hot tender was not to be played with. I bit into that crispy tender and instantly knew I indeed "bit off more than I could chew!" It was as if that hot spiced item shot through my whole body and I was heated on the inside for about a couple of minutes. I say that to say, if you are not into spicy SPICY, don't go above medium. So glad I chose a medium spice sandwich (yes, you can get different spice levels in your order) because that saved me. The chicken was fresh, with a crispy coating on a fresh bun with Dave's sauce. The pickles were fresh and crisp (my go-to to put out that heat from that extra hot chicken tender!), the coleslaw was fresh and ok. I really don't like sauces like the Dave's sauce on my food, so the next time I will get my sandwich without it. All in all, a nice place for a good chicken sandwich, especially with the cheese fries! Epilogue: I saved the rest of that extra hot tender to eat the next day hoping the spice level had dissipated...but no...it seems as if it intensified...but I still ate it...maybe I'm used to that spice level now...
