The Scene
The Helmand's colorful main dining room is adorned with festive Afghani clothing and tapestries. The outer room has a burnished wooden bar and several intimate tables. Both dining rooms feature pristine white tablecloths and dapper staff.
The Food
Every dish is a careful composition of cumin, coriander, mint and other spices. The sweet-tart banjan borwani appetizer, for example, combines tender eggplant and tomatoes in a yogurt-garlic sauce. Slightly spicy chunks of buttery sea bass in the korma mahi dissolve on the tongue. The spicy-sweet kabuli is unforgettable, with chunks of lamb (tender enough to cut with a spoon), brown rice, raisins and glazed carrots. The Helmand's reputation as a great vegetarian restaurant is well-deserved: The hot, tangy vegetarian korma stew is stunning.
