    i checked this place out after a friend recommended it. I tried the chicken kabob with lamb rice and chickpeas. The boneless chicken was juicy and seasoned well, rice and chicken peas were the star of the dish, it was all seasoned and cooked well. If you are a lamb lover then you'll enjoy it more than I did. The cook on the lamb was medium at best. It was decent, but I'm not a huge fan of lamb. I also ordered a hummus with pita bread. That was amazing. I recommend that alone if you needed to try something from this place.

    Love Maiwand Grill! We got carry out, with a variety of items including the sweet pumpkin side dish, spinach, and meats. Everything was flavorful and delicious. The order was quickly filled and ready when we came to pick it up. The restaurant lends itself to takeout, but there were a few tables inside of you wanted to eat in.

Good seasoning as well. Be sure to order a side of fresh bread, it comes out piping hot as it is made to order. Soft texture , with starting this, allowing you to scoop the sauce.

When we walked in, we were greeted very nicely and sat quickly. Our server was new and it was her first day so she couldn't really give any recommendations which wasn't the best, but the manager came out and was able to help with describing some of the dishes and giving great recommendations. Most of the people that we ate with ended up with some type of lamb dish and the lamb was phenomenal. The rice was delicious. The eggplant was delicious. We got a bunch of appetizers. Everything was on point. Everything tasted super fresh and overall we had a very nice experience. The food also came out very quickly. The overall ambience was very nice very home type vibe and it is a smaller restaurant for limited tables One of our friends that we went with since we haven't seen each other for a long time was really craving a beer and kebabs which sometimes a little bit harder than one would anticipate but they served alcohol as well as delicious food so win-win here. So overall, I would highly recommend this place if you want delicious Afghan food, but of course remember to book in advance .

The pumpkin dumplings and pan fried veggie filled dumplings were great as well. I thought my salmon wrap and the chickpea side was ok. Interesting flavors for sure. As for the service, there was always someone filling up our waters and our waiter was very nice checking in every now and then. The only downside of the experience is at the end when the waiter was boxing up all the food for us. Very sweet that they do this but when boxing up my partners food, they only boxed up the rice and they got rid of the lamb that he was looking forward to eating more of later. So that was kind of a disappointment for us. I think if we go again, we would request to box our food ourselves since I'm not sure why they decided to get rid of all of his lamb.
