“ The chicken tikka masala? A creamy, spicy masterpiece that tastes like it was handcrafted. Warning: The spice levels are real. “Medium” is basically “Think About Your Life Choices” spicy, but I like my food with a side of existential crisis, so no complaints there. Kabob and Curry is a treasure, a delight, and a calorie-packed love letter to your taste buds. Just make sure you wear pants with an elastic waistband. You’ll need it. ”
“ Very tasty food with good service, and very generous portion sizes! Coming back soon ”
“ We were so grateful this spot was open on thanksgiving due to us traveling. The food was delicious, they had an Indian thanksgiving meal which was pretty unique. They even had gluten free chickpea bread! The building is unique and we enjoyed our experience here. ”
“ Food was delicious! The service was very professional and courteous! Food was served fast and fresh. This is the first time I have eaten here, and I'm certainly looking forward to go again! The ambiance was peaceful, when me and my son went there for lunch, and even as it was getting busy it was pretty tranquil. I truly recommend this restaurant, specially if you want to experience excellent Indian food. The servers recommendations for dishes were spot on! Don't be afraid to ask any questions he took the time and carefully explained to us the ingredients and what the dish was like. ”
“ We recently ordered takeout from Kabob and Curry and everything was ready quickly, fresh, and delicious. It’s always great to see a local favorite consistently deliver. We’ll definitely be back to this staple spot! ”
“ Let me just start off by saying this exceeded my & my husband's expectations in so many ways. Seating was no wait when we got there; I had made a reservation originally because I wasn't sure how busy it would be, so that is an option. Service was quick with taking our order and getting us our drinks, appetizers, and entrees. We tried the Lamb Samosa and the Chicken Masala Poutine Fries as Appetizers, though the Fries easily could have been an entree. The turnovers came with two dips (one spicy the other sweet), but they taste amazing with or without them. The flakiness of the pastry and the flavor of Lamb was wonderful. The Poutine Fries were a much larger order than expected, and blew us away. The chicken was very tender and the cheese with the Masala sauce was amazing with the fries. The level of heat was mild enough for us both to enjoy together For Entrees my Husband ordered the Lamb Mushroom Korma at Medium heat, while I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala with Mild heat. We also ordered several Naan breads to try as well; Plain, Garlic, Paneer Cheese, and Coconut Fruit. "The lamb mushroom korma was just as ordered spicy enough to warm but not make uncomfortable and super tasty, paired great with the garlic naan." - Husband Very similar to the Poutine the Chicken Tikka Masala at Mild was the perfect amount of heat for me, so I was able to fully enjoy the flavors without too much heat. Once again the chicken was nice, juicy and tender while the Tikka Masala sauce was creamy and paired well with all the Naans in my opinion. It's hard to say if we had a Favorite of the 4 naans we tried. The Plain was lovely and had a bit of butteryness to it if one prefers to have a nice, fairly basic bread. The Coconut Fruit Naan was the right amount of sweet without going too much, we believe it was cranberries in the naan with the coconut but forgot to ask before leaving. The Paneer Cheese was a buttery cheese and very pleasant; perfect with the Masala sauce. The Garlic might come off as strong if you are expecting the subtle garlic bread you might find other places so that is something to note if you aren't used to it; my husband loved it. The portions for the entrees were very large, and we ended up needing to-go boxes for half of them and the naan breads. Overall it was a very lovely experience! We will definitely be returning to try their other dishes as well as bringing friends! ”
“ Kabob and curry is my new favorite place seriously. It's soo good. the staff is a little stiff for sure but very kind the food came out quick and it's fun to try something new i went back to get the lamb tika masala again it was soo good and with the Naan bread...oh..my.god. I got it med heat this time and it was spicy for sure so if you can't handle heat be cautious ”
“ Came here for the first time with a group of friends so had the chance to try a few of their dishes. Pleased to say that I was not disappointed by a single one! Their vegetable samosas were delicious, but their assortment of naans is what had us all hooked! My favorite was the paneer ( cheese) naan, though the garlic and cilantro naan was also to die for! The tofu mango curry was a solid 5/10 as it was too sweet for my liking ( without enough spice) but would definitely come back to try a different curry option, as they had many! Our server was also very polite, efficient and kind! Overall, a great experience for sure! ”
