Kandahar is an absolute treasure in the heart of Hampden. My kids and I tried the lamb shank w/ pallow rice, chicken kabob, mantu dumplings, aushak ravioli and it was truly one of the best middle eastern meals we’ve ever had in Baltimore City. The lamb was fall-off-the-bone tender, perfectly seasoned with rich spices that tasted authentic. The pallow rice was incredibly fragrant—light, fluffy, and full of flavor.
The owner was attentive and onsite, atmosphere warm and welcoming, and you genuinely feel the care and tradition behind every dish. If you’re looking for a meal that’s both comforting and memorable, this place is a must-visit. I can’t wait to come back and try more from their menu!

Such delicious food, and so glad it’s open for lunch! If you’re looking for top tier quality Afghan food like the Helmand, but in a more relaxed atmosphere (and open for lunch), Kandahar is for you! They didn’t balk when we came in with ten people and the service was fast, efficient, and friendly. The food is so good! We love the vegetarian options – our favorite is the mantu which is kind of like a dumpling. Sadiq was incredibly kind and answered all of our questions!

Our family loves this spot! The owner, his brother, and their staff are wonderful and their food is spectacular. The sauces and dishes are just cooked and flavored to perfection, and the owner Sadiq told us many of them are family recipes. I loved the lamb with apricots. We can’t wait to be back!

We drove 2 hours to try afghan food for the fist time. Well worth the trip. The food came out promptly and was nice and hot! The owner took our order and was very personable! Highly recommend the lamb chops. Genuinely some of the best lamp chops I’ve had for a long time.
Look forward to coming back!

I’ve had Afghan food at a popular chain restaurant and it doesn’t compare.! This is Afghan food at its best. We were a part of three and ordered the chopped salad, the Kadoo (pumpkin), and banjan laghatak (spicy eggplant with yogurt sauce) for starters. The house made basil vinaigrette on the chopped salad was amazing. They sell it by the jar and I forgot to pick up a jar on our way out. The pomegranate juice is freshly squeezed, not a gram of added sugar, not to sweet but refreshing and delicious. For entree we had the lamb shank- tender and falling off the bone. The rice was not just riceZ it was an entire meal on its own, exquisitely fragranced with (saffron?) raisins, and heavy dose of deliciousness. I closed my eyes in order to savor each flavor. Although we couldn’t finish everything , we still had to order desert. Who turns down freshly made vanilla ice cream with cardamom and dried figs and dates? We sure didn’t. We shared ice cream and a piece of baklava. The ice cream was delightful. I’m not a sweets person, but the baklava was equally delicious. The real deal, light, delicate, layers melted on my tongue. . Thank you Siddiq for a wonderful meal!

Friendly service and very flavorful food! The lamb was super tender and seasoned well, alongside some amazing rice!! I even ordered a box to go and ate it the next morning and it was delicious!

Came here 15 minutes before closing and was pleasantly surprised they still welcomed us in — really appreciated that! Orders are placed at the counter, and the space is super clean and spacious. We were greeted by Sidiq, who was incredibly friendly and helpful in recommending dishes.
We had the mantu as a starter, and it was delicious! The dumpling skin is a bit on the thicker side, but the generous filling balanced it out nicely. The mix of sauces and gravy was packed with flavor.
For mains, I had the chicken Kabuli pallow and my husband had the lamb shank. The Kabuli was well-spiced and tasty — I personally would’ve liked a touch more salt, but the chicken itself was nicely seasoned and not dry at all. The lamb shank was super tender and came with fragrant rice and a rich, balanced gravy.
Overall, great food and warm hospitality. Would definitely come back to try more
