The Helmand

Fabulous spot for a dinner alone or with a group! I was visiting the area and have Celiac so I need to eat gluten free. My waiter very kindly showed me which items were not safe and I ended up ordering the chicken kebab, which was fabulous! So flavorful, the sauces were amazing; truly one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. This place was such a treat!

Excellent food. The pumpkin appetizer was outstanding! I still dream about it weeks later. I got a lamb dish with mushrooms in a sauce (I can’t find the menu online at the moment). It was well cooked and tasty, perhaps more mushrooms than lamb. Service was fast and friendly.

Great food, knowledgeable owner. As soon as we said “gluten free” the waiter sent the owner out and he told us what we could/couldn’t eat. Much is safe, except for pastry dishes. We ordered one dish that had a sauce that isn’t made in-house and the owner came out to tell us and give us options.

I've been here twice, both times the manager comes out and promises they'll make my meal gluten free. Both times I was sick the next day

Celiac friendly?

No

Owner/manager came to table to confirm meal selection for our gf diner. Great attention to safe healthy dining. All meals were excellent- definitely on do again list!

Super yummy and helpful staff for choosing a Celiac meal.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This restaurant was a pleasure to eat at! The staff was VERY knowledgable, and the options were vast. You can eat almost everything on the menu safely and things that you cannot are obvious. I would suggest this restaurant not only because its gluten-free navigable, but also because the quality of the food itself is outstanding.

The pumpkin appetizer is a must, as well as the lamb meatballs and rice.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Delicious!! Menu items and descriptions are obvious but the waitstaff were very knowledgable and understanding to all my questions. The lamb with the apricot was extraordinary and you have to have the pumpkin with yogurt sauce!
