Very small and very expensive place. The guy at the counter is also not a nice person to deal with. They sell a small portion of rice for 3.99+tax and a very small salad from a bag for 2.99+tax. In the end you pay $20 for low quality fast food. Two skewers of meat are 16.99+tax so if you go for that you end up paying $30 bucks for your fast food meal. The food is full of oil and below average. They won't make substitutions or sell half-portions. On top of everything, I have noticed that they use only styrofoam plates and containers that they, of course, don't recycle. And, according to the guy at the counter they do it for 20 years. Such a shame. Needless to say I'll avoid this place in the future. read more

Maiwand Kabob - Chickpea Curry $5 / Rice $4 / Salad $3 Super expensive! - Afghan Near Me - Hanover, Maryland

Love the lamb chops and their chicken. One of the few places I trust eating meat from! Very friendly customer service. The ambiance is comfortable. I see families eating there often. read more

Sadly this place is far better for in-restaurant dining. I ordered delivery tonight - combo beef/beef kabob and fries. The beef was sooooo dry and the fries were....chewy? They went in the trash after rooting around for some crispy, deep-fried perfection. There were exactly 3 pieces of veggie with the kabob meat - two slices of onion and one piece of green pepper. And frankly, I would not have thought this was "double beef". Sad, but will never be ordering again. Not at $40 before driver tip. read more

Maiwand Kabob - My dry beef, 3 veggies, and some ok rice. - Afghan Near Me - Hanover, Maryland

It's been a couple of years since I've been here. I decided to come here after leaving Arundel Mills Mall after having unfulfilled food court food. The food was still good like I remembered, I ordered the Chicken Kabob with Saffron Rice, Salad and it came with a huge piece of Naan Bread. Everything was cooked fresh and flavorful. read more

Excellent food! Naan cooked just behind the counter as we ordered. Talk about fresh! We both ordered the chicken and lamb kabob with big, juicy, flavorful chunks of meat. It came with naan, a nice little salad and a sweet cinnamon rice with a few raisins. Appetizers sounded great but I'm glad that we skipped them because the Portia were really big. I suggest splitting a kabab dish and getting a couple of apps. read more

I ate the lamb kabob that cost $17 or so. They gave plenty to eat, and the food was delicious. As to the lamb meat it was okay, but I had leaner, juicier lamb meat from other kabob places. Some pieces of the meat was a bit fatty and chewy. read more

Forgive me father, for I have sinned. How have I sinned, you might ask? By giving this place three stars in 2012. It is now 2018, and this place deserves every bit of the five stars I'm giving out. I loveeeee Maiwand Kabob. The chicken. The falafel. The samosas! It's alllll amazing! I usually come here after I go for a mall run at Arundel Mills, and I get my entire life. The staff move quick, the food is fresh and the price is right! What else can be said! This place is bomb. read more

Great service the few times I have visited. You should take advantage of the daily specials, its worth it. The place is always clean. During covid restrictions they have a few tables open for dining in. read more

The best kabobs but oh the rice! We don't live in Maryland anymore so it was nice to find out Maiwand Kabob was still here and still excellent. Come hungry and remember it takes time to cook chicken fresh to order. Oh? Did I forget to mention naan baked fresh? I ate a piece of chicken b4 taking photo. read more

Great food, service and cleanliness. Ray was super helpful. This place serves the best kabobs. I tried kofta and chicken kabobs. Just the right amount of tenderness and moisture. Highly recommended. read more

I enjoy the chicken kabob and chickpea curry. Always friendly service. Nice job incentive to earn points for discounts.

Wonderful, authentic food! Cooked to perfection and served with pride! Bread and dessert are incredible!!

Stopped off the interstate for a bite with my wife and 3 kids. Lamb curry (Monday special) was excellent. Same with the kabob. Kids loved their meals as well (they're not easy to please). The gentleman working the register was kind and enthusiastic about the food. Excellent experience for a quick lunch! read more

Finally tried this place. Pleasantly surprised! I might be coming here more often... the food is tasty! That bread that comes with the combo was so soft and delish!! I had the chicken with bones... I didn't mind bone-in since I feel like those meat tend to be more moist and juicy. Indeed it was! The spices were amazing! I even enjoyed the side salad that comes with it .. refreshing. My friend got the mango smoothie, I got to try a sip.... gonna order it next time! I can't wait to return and try their other stuff. They also have daily specials, I'm not sure what they are but it's at a special price too. Always love a deal!! read more

The food is good here and the service friendly. I just wish their menu was a bit more accommodating when it comes to add ons. If I want the veggie platter bc I like those sides but want to add a kabob I basically have to purchase two meals bc there's no Ala cart menu for the kabobs; that can get pricey. Other than that food is always consistently good. Try the green pea and potato curry! read more

We ordered the lamb kabob, it was good as usual. I recommend it if you like lamb! Salad should include tomato and cucumber like the original when they first opened. Should ask if we wanted extra sauce to dip nan. read more

I love the one at Hanover. I ordered a Naan bread every day with my coffee. The people Who work there are very friendly. They also offers military discount my husband and I enjoyed read more

The food is great! I left with a to go plate of food for the next day lunch. Very affordable. I'm not adventurous with my food endeavors and I still loved it. It is not fast food and expect to wait for about 15 minutes for your meal. The bread is smoking hot and the food was warm. If your looking to go on a date wait until date # four or five :). Not a sit down atmosphere but has seats like any other carry-out spot. About 10 tables. I would go here again. U had a lamb and chicken tikka combo and substituted salad for potatoes. Yummers! update 10/10/11 I got Samosas, pumpkin, tandoori bread, and Lamb Curry with brown rice today. The pumpkin is amazing and most similar to sweet potatoes but sweeter and less wet. The samosas are good too and are basically pastry filled with potatoes like one would imagine. I would not get the Lamb curry again and instead would stick with Lamb kabob. Tonight it was a seat-yourself chill atmosphere and I sat and enjoyed. read more

They have daily specials and they are amazing. I usually get the salmon and shrimp kabob special. The shrimp are so juicy and flavorful. It's on a bed of rice with raisins and a side salad. read more

I love this place. I usually have the special which differs every day. The potions are good and the prices are decent. The chicken is always tender and juicy. The lamb is amazing. The eggplant and pumpkin are two of my favorite dishes. I eat here at least once every week with co-workers and the food is always hot and good. If you like Afghan food eat here, but it gets really busy so call your order in ahead and go early! Totally yum! read more

Before I say anything about the food that is served here, I would like to point out how respectful and polite the Teenager working the counter was. This young man has better customer service skillsets than many other bigger restaurants have! I would come back to this place solely based on how nice they are, add on the delicious food they serve and its a homerun! But seriously the food taste amazing and has that authentic middle eastern feel to it, I've spent my fair share of time overseas and was craving a good middle eastern meal. I promise you this place serves food that taste exactly the same as if it were being made 2,500 miles away. I will deffinately be returning to this wonderful little restaurant! read more

Delicious as always. Very flavorful. Great service. And clean establishment. We always enjoy coming here when we're in the area. read more

Never been inside but the food is always great via pickup (but my family says the service is friendly!) Great samosas and mango lassis!

Best lamb kabobs you'll find in the city. Kind and friendly service. Always room to sit if you want to stay and eat. Quick turnaround if you're looking for a fast lunch. read more

Was driving through (heading back to NJ from DC) and stopped in for some lunch. DID NOT expect this amazingly delicious food!!!!!!!!!!! A few times, we considered turning back to grab another order to bring home and will forever regret that we didn't. I've tried a few Afghan places here but nothing compares thus far. Will plan a trip to MD just so that I can eat your food again. read more

Yum! This place was great! The staff was super friendly and explained the items on the menu we were unsure about along with the specials. We ended up getting the lamb and beef kebabs which were cooked and seasoned well. I would definitely recommend them. Our meat came with a small side salad, rice and a side of naan for a pretty affordable price for the portion size. I would definitely come back here again and try the curry, I hear it's excellent. read more

It's three and half stars actually. The food was ok. I got Falafel platter, for some reason the falafel were a little burnt. The taste inside was ok though. You guys don't need to fry it until it's all black. The platter was a good portion, fresh naan with butter was really good. Rice pilav and salad was good too. Only sad thing was the falafel were burnt outside. . read more

What an awesome place run by super service oriented people who serve high quality food! I ordered on doordash, an item was left out (by restaurant or dasher unsure) but I called the restaurant and immediately they contacted doordash to get me a refund and apologized to me for the inconvenience and I didn't even have to say much beyond missing it. I could not be more pleased with how wonderfully responsive and courteous this young man was. Now on to the food, we ordered multiple sides like spinach and eggplant, samosas and the appetizer with the A that's like a dumpling of sort but very saucy and tender and delicious. The lamb gyro was tender and abundant. The chickpeas. Everything was so good and flavorful and really well made. Thank you maiwand!!! read more

Great Food and always quick. People are very nice in there. Restaurant is small but perfect for what it is.

Great chickpea dish! Also loved eggplant with yogurt. And 5 mts from tesla supercharger!

Thank you Yelp for the advice to go to this place for lunch with my mom. It was a great little place with just a couple minor hiccups. We went on a Saturday afternoon, and even at that time every seat in the place was taken. Which is a great sign if you ask me! It is quick food too, so just waiting for our food allowed a seat to open up. The customer service is excellent. The gentleman behind the counter was super helpful and nice. When I ordered my food he said great choice (referring to the samosas) and even when getting to go boxes he was overly accommodating. Anyway, the food is hit or miss. The samosas were really good, tasted super fresh and homemade. The chicken kabob platter was also delicious, I highly recommend getting this and will be getting it next time! The beef kabob, however, was so so so dry, I was so disappointed, luckily my mom gave me some of her chicken, otherwise I would not have been very satisfied. Love that they give you a side salad, it was really good. The side of rice had raisins in it and was sweet, which was kind of weird to me, but might be the traditional way of doing it? I don't know, but it wasn't my fave. What WAS my fav was the naan, OMG it was delicious. You can see them making the fresh naan right behind the counter, it was soo good. We also got a side of hummus perfect for dipping the naan. The atmosphere was a little grungy. When I went to use the bathroom they had a mop and bucket sitting right in front of the toilet, the smell was overwhelming and was a huge turn off... I appreciate it being cleaned, but it was kind of gross to be sitting there though. It seems like it might be a storage issue as they had stacks of boxes and cases of water in the back hallway where there is another door to enter and exit the restaurant. Overall, it was good. I much preferred it over the food court at Arundel Mills Mall so I might return, but I will be sure to order the chicken kabob and extra naan! read more

Excellent service !! Food was fresh and tasty. I ordered a bone in kabob and was given a boneless one by mistake. I thought it was a genuine mistake but did not complain and started eating. A couple of minutes later the person from front desk who took the oder came on his own to me, and was very sorry about the fiasco and said I can eat it and gave the original oder too. read more

This place is pretty basic but the food definitely isn't. Parking is technically behind the restaurant so the door you come in is the back. The menu is on the wall and you order up front. They either call out numbers or bring the food depending on how busy it is. We went for dinner on a Friday night, around 5:30 and it wasn't crowded but not deserted either. We ordered the aushuk, a dumpling filled with ground beef and covered with lentils and a delicious mint yogurt sauce. SUPER DELICIOUS and highly recommend! For the main meal I ordered the falafel platter and my husband ordered the lamb kabob. He really enjoyed his meal and I didn't get to try it so I'll have to take his word for it. The falafel platter had several falafels, rice, hummus, salad and came with naan and a green sauce. In order of my favorite to least, the green sauce, rice, naan, falafel, salad, hummus. I thought the hummus tasted too much like tahini but my husband loved it. I liked that the naan was fresh and very tasty. My daughter really liked the falafels but I thought they were just okay. I thought the rice was really good and really loved the green sauce. Prices were reasonable for portion size and the place was clean and service was prompt. They also had daily specials on the wall. One thing I didn't realize they offered was pumpkin on the appetizer menu that I'd like to try next time. read more

Afghan food is hard to find and this is probably the best in the area. I got the vegetable platter with stewed eggplant, pumpkin with yoghurt, spinach, chickpeas, potatoes, fresh rice and fresh naan bread. My only complaints were the overuse of styrofoam cups and plates. Terrible for the environment. I'll definitely come back to try other things! read more

Maiwand Kabob - Restaurant menu in the back - Afghan Near Me - Hanover, Maryland

I have been to the Columbia location and a first for this one. I really like this better! We had the Chicken Curry and the Kofta kabobs. Came with different rice and I'm not a fan of the cinnamon spiced one. The other more traditional one was very moist and fresh. i had a lot of chicken in my plate !! Salad and rice with the yogurt sauce was included. Love the large bread which was very fresh & warm. I would like to return and try something different. The place is clean and they offer some additional condiments by the soda station. Can enter on either side of the restaurant. Prices are very reasonable. read more

When we walked in the restaurant was empty and no one was manning the front, but we knew NOT to leave. We had the Lamb curry, and I had the spinach side with rice. After adding powered spice and hot eastern sauce it was just to my liking! Delicious! The naan was freshly made and just lovely. Thank you for the excellent food and service! Even though I was not staying at the Hampton Inn, which is a convenient walk over, it was worth the short drive for the local shop of spicy deliciousness. Picture not included, for the look would never match the mouth watering flavors of the food. read more
