The quiet ambiance, friendly staff, and exquisite spices make it a must-visit spot. A long walk from Union Square is rewarded with great vegetarian food and a welcoming neighborhood vibe. The large space is perfect for groups, whether they are meat lovers or vegetarians. While some feel that Helmand hasn't aged well due to the storage use of the front bar and a slight odor, others rave about the flavorful vegetarian options, such as the eggplant and pumpkin dishes. Overall, Helmand offers a unique dining experience worth trying.
The flat bread was hot crunchy and delicious. The lamb and rice both complex flavors, very good.
Special vegetarian platter w/o yogurt sauce (vegan) was ab fab super flavorful. The eggplant was amazing, the pumpkin was reminiscent of Thanksgiving sweet potatoes but with a satisfying chewy texture… I could go on. Loved my dinner experience.
The Best food experience I had after being in USA for more than a week. I loved everything.
Really enjoyed our dinner here. Nice selection of veggies and the owner was a delight. Hope we get to come again.
Good food and huge portions at reasonable prices. Only parking is a problem.
