Helmand Palace serves the Russian Hill District of San Francisco with unique Afghan cuisine, including what many have called “the best lamb in the U.S.” Our premium, attentive service is the backdrop to an incredible dining experience here, which in itself originates from one of the most beautiful states in Afghanistan that is commonly defined by its Helmand River which flows through this lush, fertile desert region – and which provides water diverted for irrigation – the land that yields these culinary delicacies routinely explores its rich origins via incredible flavors and textures.
As such, Helmand Palace has become a hotbed for sampling the Afghan region’s most famous and tantalizing dishes, soups and vegetables – from popular entrees like char-broiled leg of lamb marinated in pureed vegetables and laid upon a bed of pallow rice, to homemade pastry shells stuffed with beef and onions served on a pool of yogurt.
