Acclaimed Afghan restaurant The Helmand is named for both the longest river in Afghanistan and the owners' first-born son. The casual-upscale eatery offers a plethora of meatless options alongside traditional lamb and chicken kebabs and stews, satisfying vegetarians and carnivores alike. Specialties include chopendez (marinated tenderloin of beef) and ginger-infused sea bass. And with reasonable entrée prices, you can afford to sample one of the intriguing desserts. Full bar. Serving dinner nightly. No. 29 on Baltimore magazine's Best 50 Restaurants of 2009 list. Voted Best Moderately Priced Restaurant in the 2009 Baltimore magazine readers' poll. Voted Best Middle Eastern Restaurant in the 2009 City Paper readers' poll and Best First-Date Restaurant in the critics' poll.

There's much, much more to cosmopolitan Baltimore cuisine than crab cakes. Still, you won't want to leave the city without devouring several of them, including the award-winning specialties at G & M Restaurant & Lounge.
