Afghan restaurant
Maiwand Kabob is a beloved Afghan restaurant that first opened its doors in 1999 in Columbia, Maryland. The founders, inspired by the village of Maiwand in Kandahar Province, aimed to introduce traditional Afghan cuisine to a broader audience. Starting as a small family-owned business, the restaurant quickly gained popularity for its homemade dishes, generous portions, and affordable prices. With dedication to authenticity and quality, Maiwand Kabob expanded to multiple locations, becoming a staple in the local dining scene.
The restaurant is known for its freshly marinated kabobs, slow-cooked meats, and flavorful vegetarian options. Signature dishes include tender chicken and lamb kabobs, creamy eggplant, chickpea curry, and stuffed dumplings known as mantu. Everything is made from scratch using family recipes and traditional Afghan spices, giving each dish a depth of flavor that keeps customers returning. Guests often mention the balance of warmth and spice in the meals, as well as the consistency of taste across locations.
Beyond food, Maiwand Kabob is appreciated for its welcoming atmosphere and friendly service. The staff treat customers like family, reflecting the Afghan values of hospitality and community. Whether dining in, taking out, or ordering for a special event, guests experience more than just a meal—they get a taste of Afghan heritage. With over two decades of service, Maiwand Kabob continues to stand as a proud representation of Afghan culture through food.
