Kabab and Curry House

Always had the great experience and food here. Way better than old management. Totally recommended!!!

This place is now under new management and I am very disappointed with the changes. We have always been a great customer (large orders) and the previous owners were always so gracious and kind and always slipped a sweet treat in the order or gave us some free sides. The new owners are the opposite — the orders very skimpy. previously the chicken tika came with chick peas and rice and a small salad. Now — just the chicken. The butter chicken had lots of sauce and very little chicken. Sad that the new owners are not focused on keeping old customers.

Worst place ever!!! I called and asked for chicken tikamasada and when I arrived no one was there to serve me. I saw a lady sitting watching TV and asked if she worked there. She said no. The goes behind the register to charge me. I pay then look at the food and told her this is not what I asked for. She shrugged her shoulders pretending to not understand me. Terrible service!!! NEVER AGAIN!

We should have walked out. Turned 180 degrees, and headed straight through the door from which we came. Though the butter chicken and white rice were somewhat edible, there were several reasons I will never return to this Indian Cuisine. Among these were the poorly trained staff, the grimy plastic dishes and silverware, the greasy puddles in the food, the dark, cobweb-​infested restrooms, and the roaches in the corner.
Never have I or my family been so disappointed by an eatery. We stayed and ate out of pity, but now our stomachs regret the decision immensely. To be quite frank, my belly and I are still in shock, and may be for the rest of the week.
In conclusion, please avoid this establishment at all cost. It is for everyone’s own good.

The people working there were very nice, but the buffet was beyond gross. Greasy and flavorless. Oil puddles in everything (not normal amounts; offensive amounts).
$ 10 poorly spent, unfortunately. I hate to leave a bad review, but I can’t in good conscience not let people on route 1 know what’s up.

I ate here one time and it will be my first and last. My husband who is Trinidadian and I went here looking for some good Indian food being I didn’t feel like cooking that night. Well we were in for a pleasant surprise boy was the lady there rude !!! My husband was questioning about some the food and it was like she was so bothered she yelled at him and very impatient I don’t know if it was because he is brown skin appearing to be black American not Trinidadian which is West Indian. All we wanted was some good roti to go with our food :-(anyhow I got my food and I was disappointed the rice was good the curry was blah and the tandoori was terrible !!! Never again even as we walked out and were driving off I seen the older woman working there yelling at the lady who yelled at us smh … Terrible terrible terrible !!!
If I had option of no stars I wouldn’t give any !!!

Personally, I think the negative reviews might be a bit outdated and probably overly critical. I regularly pop in here for the buffet and always leave totally satisfied.
I really like the fresh out of the oven naan and especially enjoy the chickpeas. There aren’t a ton of options in the buffet but there is enough variety of meats and veggies to please my taste buds.
I would categorize this restaurant as another Route 1 surprise and would recommend the buffet to anyone who is looking for a filling, reasonably priced meal. This place is not a fine dining experience but rather a great tasting tummy stuffer.

I stumbled across this place, looking for a place to eat off of Route 1. I was pleasantly surprised. Their lunch buffet, while not extensive, hit the spot. For $ 6.99, you get hot buttered naan bread (literally right out of the oven), rice, butter chicken, spicy samosas (too spicy for me, but I loved them mashed up potato fillings!), delicious lentils (I go out of town with that with the naan), chickpeas, and other specialty dishes they have for that day. You can also get a little styrofoam cup of salad if you request it. Cans of sodas are an extra, and there’s plenty of parking in the plaza lot. Definitely one of those hole-​in-​the-​wall places, if you’re craving for some Indian/​Pakistani food, this is the place to get that craving fixed.
+AYCE lunch buffet

This was the worst food experience I’ve had since moving to the area, and without a doubt the worst $ 20 I’ve ever spent. The first problem was that we waited approximately fifty (50) minutes for our carryout order. Little did we know that this would be the least upsetting aspect of our experience.
Our order consisted of three dishes: «Chicken karahi,» «saag paneer,» and «chicken sikh kabob.» The «chicken» of the «chicken karahi» was primarily bone, gristle, and skin, and contained very little actual meat. It was hot, but flavorless. The paneer in what was purportedly «saag paneer» was oddly melty — almost as though they just used a slice of provolone. It was not paneer. The chicken sikh kabob was perhaps the «winner» of the night, though given the circumstances this is hardly high praise. Much like the «chicken» karahi, this dish was spicy yet flavorless. However, unlike the karahi, I was fairly certain that the kabob was at least partially composed of chicken.
Notable quotes:
«That naan is NOT ‘passable.’ I take umbrage with your assertion.»
«The only good thing was that the guy smiled when he gave us free pakora.»
«Oh Jesus, this pakora is horrible.»

This is about the only choice I know of for this cuisine along Rt1. The food is pretty good and there’s an all-​you-​can-​eat buffet. Plenty of bread on tap too. Are there better places out there? yup. Still, I’ve gone back 5 or 6 times and find the food there consistent and the scene friendly.

I wish there was a — star rating I would give this place –10
the food is terrible!!! I really don’t know how they stay in business!!!
I waited over 20 minutes for kabobs that were wrapped in Nan that tasted like it had been dragged through the mud! The rice tasted like it was days old, chicken Tika was was dryer then SAND!!!
Honestly this is the worst pace I have EVER been!

I was out shopping and needed to get dinner, but don’t eat meat so I avoid fast food joints. I used Unilocal and found this place. I was not impressed. The food was ok at best. Everything was spicier than usual except for the lentils which seemed to be lacking in flavor all together. The bread was good though, so that helped. The people were friendly, but seemed annoyed when I told them I didn’t want anything with meat in it??? Overall, it was ok and I’m not sure if I’ll get takeout from here again.

If you’re south of Route 1 and you want kebabs, this is pretty much your only choice. The Bread and Kabob place near Belvoir closed (replaced by an African restaurant) as did Sultan Kabob in Old Town. I tend to prefer Moby Dick, but the one in Franconia can be a pain to get to. I tried this place about a year ago and wasn’t impressed by anything except the price. The menu was all over the place; a mix of Indian curries and Paki kabobs and burgers and hotdogs (?!). The service was ridiculously slow; half-​an-​hour for carryout. The guy running the kitchen seemed to be doing everything. His «help» was either clueless or just lazy. I took to calling the place «Stoner Kabob» because half the staff seemed totally high. I think either the place switched owners or they got their act together because I tried it recently and like it a lot. They’ve trimmed their menu down substantially: lamb/​beef/​chicken kabobs, naans, samosas, sides. They also serve some nice smelling sweets. They have an all-​day buffet which is a good deal if you want to bulk up on the cheap.
The interior is pretty bare bones: about 8 tables, a cooler for sodas, and al Jazeera on the widescreen. The place is halal if that’s an issue; my experience has been that halal places usually are conspicuously cleaner than the run of the mill kebab shop. My visit to the restroom bears this out. You wouldn’t mind sitting down for a meal here, but it’s not a real destination lets-​linger-​over-​expensive-​drinks date place like Lebanese Taverna. And I’ve never seen more than one or two people at this place. It’s pretty isolated in a little mall that you can barely see from the main drag.
I ordered a $ 10 Kabob Sampler that included tandoori chicken, lamb, and Sikh kebab; seasoned rice; spicy chickpeas; a small salad; and naan. A ton of food. The salad exists for the sole purpose of cleaning your palate between bites of kebab. The rice is loaded with carmelized onions, so if they give you gas, you should pass. On the rice I mean, not the gas. The lamb was a bit gristly (but I like gristly) and a bit bland. I was suprised the tandoori chicken was so flavorful. Usually breast meat is pretty dry, but not here. They occasionally have bone-​in thigh meat which is really juicy. The chickpeas had a good level of aromatics, spices, and heat. This is not dumbed-​down, mild flavored food. The real hit was the Sikh kebab, a well-​seasoned mix of ground beef, spices, and fresh herbs. The grind was pretty coarse, so it wasn’t the usual fine grind hamburger beef texture. I tried to order some samosas, but the cashier guy showed me the two that were left and said he was going to toss them out, so bonus points for him not trying to unload past-​its-​prime food. Instead, he gave me a complimentary side of some sort of cinammon-​clove-​pumpkin dish that had the consistency of firm grits but had a nice mild sweet flavor. No idea what it was but it was pretty tasty. Looking forward to trying their lentils and okra.
On a stretch of Route 1 where your ethnic cuisine choices are limited, Kebab and Curry House is a fine addition to La Mexicana Bakery (tacos) and Tacos El Costalilla (sopes). It’s also the only game in town when it comes to kebabs.

Popped in for the lunch buffet. $ 10 bucks covered a couple trips, salad, naan, and a coke. Salad just barely passable, naan not what I’m used to… but, of course, thats what they’re hoping you’ll fill up on! Tandoori chicken was excellent. All the vegetables and lentils had a kick. Yum-​o. Atmosphere very casual.

I like this place =)
The buffet is good, but sometimes, it seems like it’s been up a little too long.
Overall, very good. The food has flavors that «dance on my tongue» — spicy =)

This place I would put nearly on par with Crystal city Kabab Palace but it’s closer to home for carry out purposes ;-) and it’s a tad cheaper. Some of their entrees outside of the Kabab spectrum I think are better. Tawa fried Keema is very nice and doesn’t hold any flavor or spice back. Peshwari cahppli is also good. I’ve never been able to get the Lahori fried fish — always «sold out» when I order. To go orders take about 20 minutes, so it’s best to call ahead unless you want to catch up on some TV news on the big screen in the restaurant. PS — Samosas good also.
