Just excellent food! At a great value IMO -possibly not the cheapest yet on par with dishes from restaurants far upscale. Very nice people and great service too. I highly read more

This is as Afghan food should be. As close to home as you'll get. I spent 3 years in Afghanistan and this really took me back. It was busy. Parking can be an issue, but the food is fast and really tasty. Get the mantu it's great. And you're doing yourself a disservice if you don't try the lamb. It was so busy intact that we had to get it to go, there was no where to sit and I couldn't even take pictures.. so it's popular at lunch! It's a deli style place, and a bit crowded so come between lunch and dinner or get there early if you want to really enjoy it. Still.. even with a 20 minute drive in a styrofoam container.. excellent choice. read more

From the location to the interior this unassuming establishment makes some delicious food. I only sampled one dish. The Mantu was exceptional. The subtlety of flavors was divine. A surprisingly delightful combination of mid and far east flavors. The dumplings were fresh and soft. The sauce was rich and creamy with perfect hints of middle eastern and Asian flavors. The portion size was generous and the price very reasonable The staff was kind and the establishment was clean. Highly recommended for a nice next to the airport surprise. read more

The falafel is delicious-the best I've ever had. The food always tastes fresh and comes hot. The salad, perfect! The baklava cheesecake...I have no words to describe how delicious it is. This is my Friday night go to for delivery. So good! read more

I found this place randomly online and decided to swing by and give it a try. I ordered the chicken kebab, served over a bed of rice with vegetables and naan bread. Everything is made to order, so the wait was a bit longer than I expected but it was worth it. The portion size is a seriously awesome bang for your buck, and the food was great. I'm definitely looking forward to trying a different dish next time I visit! read more

Solid food. Hubs and I had the chicken and beef kebobs. Love the rice and sauces and flavors. Only minor ding was some of the lettuce was brown. Went back today and had the daily special (chicken jalfrezi I think?) and salad was fresh this time. Place is always busy. read more

Maiwand Kabob - Chicken and beef kebobs - Afghan Near Me - Linthicum Heights, Maryland

I am staying in the area for business and found this restaurant close to my hotel. I was excited to have an opportunity to eat some Afghan food... having lived near Kandahar some 20 years ago, i was interested in reconnecting with the cuisine. I ordered the chicken kabob plate which came with flat bread, salad, and rice. All of it was delicious. While it was a new experience using hot sauce with the meal, i found everything to be delicious and plentiful... for under $20, i had a very filling meal that could have been shared by another person if I was not such a glutton. I highly recommend and look forward to my next visit. read more

First up, more than half of the tables here were Afghan so that says something about the food right off the bat. The interior is somewhat cafeteria-esque, with long communal tables. It's a good setting for kids. My all time favorite dish is mantu, so I can't resist getting that at every opportunity. These come with four small dumplings to an order, with a generous portion of delicious sauce on top. The chicken kofta platter was also very good. The chicken is well seasoned and tender and the ground meat had a very good balance of spices. Both were complemented with a mild spiced rice. The appetizer with the platter was a very filling portion, and the bread was toasty but still fluffy and soft. Appetizer and platter together were $31 including tip, which isn't crazy but not really a bargain. Quite nice if you enjoy Afghan food! read more

The food here was simply delicious. Clean. Friendly. Spectacular. I will be back. For those of you overnighting in BWI this is where to eat or Door Dash from. read more

Those plastic cups of green yogurt sauce are why you come here. And the fact that they can grill chicken that remains juicy. No dry chicken here. They are happy to replace the rice and bread with more salad and vegetables if you're staying low carb. read more

Ate here a few times on a work trip. Food is very solid and I'll for sure be back if I'm in the area. My only gripe is that I asked the woman over the phone if I could add extra meat to my entree and she said yes, however when I went to pick it up she had just added a whole extra entree to my order for another $14. Lesson learned, but PSA you can't just get extra meat for 4-5 bucks. The rice was weirdly kind of sweet so I'll avoid that in the future as well since that's not really my thing. Overall, friendly service and solid food. read more

Dreaming of these curry chickpeas. So tender and flavorful! The tikka chicken platter was very good with a generous portion. The rice with it was perfectly cooked and aromatic. I loved the raisins in it. Salad was perfectly fresh and the green yogurt sauce was tangy and went well with the rest of the dish. Pita came out hot, was a bit hard after it cooled though. The mango smoothie was delicious and large. read more

You won't regret it...yes get the baklava cheesecake it's not too sweet. Indian and Afghan mix.

DELICIOUS! the rice is amazing. Perfectly cooked lamb chops. Highly recommend coming here.

Pretty good place. Has a good bit of seating and the location is okay. A little bit of a small parking lot. I had the lamb kebab and spinach for lunch and it was very good. You order at the counter and when your food is ready to call your name so service wise you're basically serving yourself. read more

This place is sooooo good! I had the lamb kabobs and everything was fantastic! The green sauce, as someone else mentioned is amazing but so was the side salad with yogurt dressing. And the rice! Seasoned amazingly! So freaking good!! read more

Really good chicken, huge portion sizes, everything is good. What can I say, I like the place.

Ordered takeout from here. Chicken kebab salad was exceptional. Chicken was moist and had a ton of flavor. Came with ranch and mint chutney. Ranch was that really good thick ranch. Greens and toppings were very fresh. Easy to park location near the airport. Food was ready when I came to pick it up, so I would say service is good. Very friendly. Nice casual place. read more

A Great Quick Lunch Ordered: (Main) Lamb and Chicken Kebab Combo - 4/5 - The meat was so tender and juicy. Everything else was good, but the best part were the sauces. The garlic sauce, spicy sauce and mint chutney were all flavorful and added a lot to the already well-seasoned meat. This place is great for a quick meal. The food came out very quickly and it was all hot and delicious. read more

I came for a visit here with a friend to grab a quick bite to eat. When we entered, we were both very surprised that there was only one other customer in the place at the time. The employees were very friendly. They took our order and payment at the front counter, then had us take a seat and delivered the meal to us at the table. My boyfriend loves this place and highly recommended the chicken skewers, which my friend and I both decided to try. I thought the chicken was very juicy and delicious, but there wasn't that much meat overall in the dish. The skewer came with basmati white rice, a salad, and tandoori bread (naan). These sides suited the dish well, but I felt like I had a disproportionately large amount of sides with a very small amount of chicken skewer. Overall, the food was yummy enough that I would return. In the future, I would like to try their "double chicken skewer", which is the same dish but with two chicken skewers instead of just one. read more

Great Kabob, good Chicken Tikka, Lamb Tikka. As the afghani rice made with butter is extremely classic and delicious. The hot freshly baked hot from the oven / tanoor, Naan/bread, is spectacular. Their mango juice is awesome. Great food for an absolute fair price. Quality of food to price and rating star ratio is absolutely phenomenal. Excellent by industry standards. read more

The ambiance is great, nice soft music playing, comfortable furniture and ample sunlight. The food and the service were not good. I ordered the falafel platter. The falafel were hard as stone on the outside, the plastic fork would not pierce it. The hummus was flavorless, and I was personally disappointed that they dressed my salad with ranch and didn't have any vegan sauces at all. read more

Stumbled on this place while on a road trip. We got the lamb kebab that came with rice, salad and naan and the lamb gyro that came with fries. The bread was spectacular, the lamb in both dishes was fresh and flavorful. The rice was perfectly cooked and the green side sauce and the yogurt dressing on the salad were delicious. Overall, excellent food for the money! read more

Great food and generous portions. Try something new! Hard to go wrong here. We ordered by phone and carried out. Good service and very tasty. read more

I was staying in a nearby hotel and saw that this business had great reviews so I decided to take a short walk and try this place out. It was near other hotels and was small but easy to find right near the main road. Once I walked inside you can smell the aroma of amazing food and see the food on others tables that looked delicious. I was quickly greeted and had the menu explained to me by the nice employee who was in the back. I was in the mood to try various foods since this was the only time I was going to be there since I was there in business. I the appetizer I ordered the Aushak which she stated was a popular dish along with some Falafel. For the main course I ordered the Beef & Chicken Kabob Plate. And not only that, for desert I ordered some Baklava! I know! I was a fat boy this day! The food was fast, fresh, and amazing!!! I ate everything, and not even sad that I ruined my diet. I was that good!!! The price was great and the taste was even better! So if you're in the area definitely try this amazing place! read more

A co-worker took me here for lunch, oh so long ago, but my review never posted- and I rather enjoyed my experience, so I wanted to go back & positively promote the location- A great business for the area, as it provides a reliably delicious, reasonably priced, hearty lunch- Often packed, (best for take-out), they are clearly known to be a quality eatery. he food was cooked to order, this took about 15-20mins, but we knew there is often a wait so we called ahead to place our order for pick-up- We got the samosas to split, while I got the gyro salad as my entrée. The samosas were stuffed with ingredients, not overly greasy, with a crisp flaky outer crust- The gyro salad was loaded with gyro meat- not too overly smothered in sauce, but packed with fresh vegetable ingredients- I ended up splitting it into two lunches (saving half for the next day) Service was super friendly, I could tell the staff enjoys being a top spot for lunch read more

Recently came in for a lunch date with my wife and it was fantastic. Maiwand Kabob was packed; clearly folks know this is a good place to get a solid meal. We got the vegetarian platter and the falafel platter, both of which were delicious in their own right (they have lots of meat options including lamb, beef, and chicken; we just weren't feeling it that day). The veggie platter had mixed lentils, potatoes, chickpeas, eggplant, and roasted pumpkin. Every bit was good on their own, mixed together or with rice. The falafel was fantastic - nice and crispy outside with a fluffy fava interior. It came with a nice sauce and a lot of hummus. Both platters came with a freshly baked flatbread. Food is cooked fresh to order, so be ready to wait 10-15 minutes after placing your order; don't be deceived by the few sides staying warm behind the glass. The man in front of us didn't get it and was a bit of a tool about it when the lone woman behind the counter started to take other orders. Plus side, the food is very fresh and hot when food is ready. Prices are reasonable and the service is friendly. Would come back. read more

Great location. I always get the specials Lamb Curry and Chicken Curry. Their prices have risen and the specials are now $13.99 with the meat of the day, rice and one side. Parking is usually kind of hard in the area, so you can park in the building in the back. Place is always busy during lunch, so call in before hand if you're strapped on time. Food is always fresh and taste great. Highly recommended. read more

Excellent food, just talking distance from our hotel and 1 mile from the airport. The gyro and falafel were the best I've had anywhere and the salad platters had generous portions and yummy sauces.
