Keep An Eye On Maiwand Kabob, Which Looks Close To Opening The New Location Near Rte 175

The new Maiwand Kabob off Rte 175 looks like it could open any day.  Let me know if you hear that they have fired up the grills and bread oven.

We looked in the windows last week, and the tables and chairs piled inside suggested that they were close to opening.  Of course, there were still ladders and other construction equipment so work is still being done.

S. left a comment on a prior post with a similar discussion.  This will be a restaurant with a feel closer to Nordstrom Cafe than the existing counter-service restaurants, according to a comment by MK.

Coupon? Where/how?

The coupon was in the June/July Clipper Magazine (i get the "South Columbia" edition). When I called the the other Columbia location on an expected opening date last week, they said sometime around June 1.

Not open as of today. Does not even look close to be being ready to open apparently due to some inspection delays. I don't know why they sent out a coupon prematurely or why they don't answer the phone to give an update to prospective customers.

They're open & the restaurant looks beautiful. The food is great, too.

I had dinner at the new Maiwand Kabob yesterday, too. It is a gorgeous restaurant and the food is as great as at the Harper's Farm location. You still order at the counter, but they serve you at the table. I'm thinking of taking a group there, and they say they will take reservations. I also love the choice of music for background -- sounded like traditional central Asian music alternating with some modern pop music that reminded me of Turkish pop music.

The interior was beautiful but the food there is horrible. I've visited twice since it's opened and was very disappointed both times. The Harper's Farm location's food is much better.
