"An interior of cobalt blue and white, enlivened by colorful, gilt-framed art, sets a romantic scene at this Afghani restaurant. Its unique cuisine, reminiscent of Indian fare, relies on ingredients like lamb, pumpkin, legumes and fresh vegetables, along w..."

"The specialty at Helmand, a unique Afghani restaurant in North Beach, is lamb served three ways: sautéed with yellow split peas, onions and vinegar; speared into kebabs, marinated with onion and sun-dried baby grapes, and charbroiled; or marinated, slice..."
