Everything tasted fresh, and the portions were generous. The staff were very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed.

The aromas alone promise something special, and the food more than delivers. Every bite bursts with flavor, freshly grilled and perfectly seasoned. The portions are hearty, the prices more than fair, and the hospitality feels genuine. I ordered the Chicken Kabob, and it was simply outstanding, tender, juicy, and beautifully spiced, served with fluffy rice and naan that tied everything together. By the end of the meal, I wasn’t just full, I was happy. Maiwand Kabob is the kind of place that reminds you how good food, made with care, can feed both body and soul. Highly, highly recommended.

Delicious! I want to go try more of their dishes. The food was superbly spiced, served fresh, bread straight from the oven, (pan?) and oh so good. We had a gyro salad and the kofta kabob, which comes with rice, salad, and bread. The restaurant was clean, staff was friendly and eager to please. Try it!

The food was amazing! We love a good kabob placr and stop for some in every country, every city we visit. We've had kabobs all over and this was by far top 10 for taste. The meat was large, the naan was cooked perfectly AND THE RICE!! No plain basmati here. It was flavorful. You could taste the hints of cardamom and the raisins added just a touch of sweetness. I mean we were pleasantly surprised and so we're our tasebuds. Not to mention the staff was very pleasant. Even got to talk a little about faith and history with the owner. Support this business! My husband said he knew it was gonna be good when we opened it and the chicken was the right color! Picture shown but we had already eaten half of it! Lol

I googled “good lamb chops near me” and this place popped up! I took a chance and it was worth it. You get so much food for a very affordable price. I loved their lamb chops, they were well seasoned and hearty. Cooked perfectly. It also came with a salad, bread, and rice. Such a great deal for $25 in my opinion. Also every employee that I spoke with was very kind and caring. They greeted me and answered my questions. I felt very welcomed. I definitely will come back!

Some of the best lamb I’ve ever had!! Dip it in the made from scratch white or green sauce (I liked it with the white). The chicken, beef, and kafta were fantastic too, especially with the grilled red onions and green peppers. The chickpea salad, rice, and salad were perfect pairs on the side. I got a family platter that could easily feed 6 people!! Usman is the owner working with his son Adam, they are good, friendly, respectful people doing honest work.

I wish I had more pictures but there is nothing left. It’s delicious! I tried the chicken and kofta combo. As soon as I tasted the rice I knew this was going to be good. I got this flavor of cloves, cumin and coriander. There were raisin and nuts and it was buttery and rich. The kebabs were perfect. Once again packed with flavor. I preferred the chicken kebab over the kofta. It has just a slight hint of heat but lots of flavors like the mint and yoghurt had a cooling contrast to the spices like cinnamon and cumin. I usually am not a fan of restaurant salads in fast casual locations but this was really good. It was also a perfect accompaniment to the flavor with the spicier kebabs and rice. Even though all of this was delicious it also all felt fairly healthy too. I definitely want to try the Naan too. My dish didn’t have it but I did see other guests getting them and they looked awesome. Thanks and definitely see you again soon. Simple, homely and will take to you to a flavor destination- 5 stars!
