Maiwand Kabob: Authentic, Affordable Afghan Cuisine

In only a little more than a decade, Maiwand Kabob has already expanded into four separate locations. That's thanks to the family who owns it and strives to meet just one, simple goal: dish out fresh, authentic Afghan food at affordable prices. They're doing just that at all four branches, including the Columbia restaurant near Monarch Mills.

Unsurprisingly, the menu features many authentic Afghan kabobs. Chefs marinate lamb in a special blend of spices, slice it into chunks, and spear it and sear it. They do the same with beef, ground beef (AKA "kofta"), and chicken. If you want some greens with your dinner, order the chicken salad. The same boneless morsels of chicken are tossed atop a bed of greens with grilled veggies, olive oil, and balsamic. You can always go with the classic gyro sandwich, a mix of sliced beef and lamb in tandoori bread and served with fries and a drink if you're looking for something quick and simple at Maiwand Kabob.
