kababs

not worth the money. have tried the food multiple times over two years before writing this review. either most of the positive reviews here are fake or the people were lucky. the lunch buffet is acceptable. it feels like someone is training to cook, every batch tastes different. the dishes at the lunch buffet are all fairly easy to prepare but still have the spice ratios and flavors off. about the dinner menu. the spices were out of proportion every single time. i have absolutely no clue where they learnt to make chicken kebab. almost every chicken dish they make has the same chicken in it and it seems that every single piece of chicken has been sitting there being boiled in a pressure cooker or something all day. i may be wrong but you don't use wet pre boiled chicken for chicken kebabs. kebabs are supposed to be marinated, preferably overnight. these kebabs were wet oddly shapes pieces of chicken covered in some shoddy spices. a real kebab has uniform flavor soaked into the meat of the chicken and is made over hot coal for a smoky flavor, never wet. the slices of cucumber served with the kebabs had been sitting out all day and were shriveled and dry. the naan was not naan. it was pita bread, we had specifically asked for naan. when you cook indian dishes you should leave the ginger garlic paste, onions, tomatos and all to cook well before adding the main part of the dish like the chicken or the veggies. doing so takes out the raw smell of those ingredients and gives birth to the beautiful smell of the curry with the spices. this basic technique is rarely ever paid attention to in this restaurant's kitchen. all that combined with handfuls of aromatic whole spices like cloves or cardamom just destroy the flavor. if you use cloves in a dish 2 or 3 is agoodnumber usually.
the prices are exorbitant for the quality of the dishes. i'd still be hesitant to pay $5 for a dish because it's a chore to stomach these unsavory dishes. maybe i missed ordering all the entrees they're actuallygoodat making. i've eaten here about 8 times in two years at regular intervals. i have seen absolutely no improvement in their cooking. even someone who's never had indian food would do a better job of making chicken curry by following a recipe online.

going down hill fast. as with most food establishments, when it first opened kababs was very good. i'm always watchful when a place operates as a buffet, so not very surprised to see the quality of the food go south. reheating food left over from the day before does not work on a buffet, especially chicken which gets very dry and very hard after several days of being reheated. servers don't know anything and the cook does not seem to care if food isgoodor not. simple things like having nan ready on the buffet line is a no brainier but often "not a priority" as we heard the cook tell the wait staff when we asked them to ask when it would be available.it's to bad because we like that type of food, however we won't be back and we will not recommend kababs to anybody.

pleasant surprise. we visited this small restaurant twice and really enjoy the food. the first time we ordered beef curry and lamb, they are both delicious. the waitress was so lovely, she found out it was our first time trying kababs and gave us a quick introduction of each dish we order. the naan (can't spell...) is also very tasty, especially the garlic style. the second visit we tried the lunch buffet. there are many different dishes to choose from and equally delicious. a verygooddeal. will visit again. by the way, the service is great....makes me want to go back soon.

we went for dinner. the appetizers were not verygoodor authentic (spouse is indian). the entrees however were very tasty. clean facility and courteous staff.

great! but..... i am generally unimpressed with the indian restaurants in wichita, but this is agoodone with a few caveats.

their food is good, by and large. some of it is excellent. the kormas and chicken tikka masala are good. if something has cream as an ingredient, expect it to be in american proportions (speaking of which, from my limited experience with indian food, i doubt that this stuff is very traditional, mostly due to cream content).

my most recent trip, i tried the biryani (spicy rice). excellent! think fried rice made with yoghurt sauce (i think) and indian-style spicing. very spicy when i had it, though i'll bet they'd tone it down if asked.

my one disappointing meal here was saag paneer, which is something i usually like. i don't know whether they used ghee or cream, but there wasn't nearly enough (for a change). there was no spiciness, either the hot kind or otherwise. bland. barely any paneer, either.

the following are my main complaints:
service is spotty. the last trip, 3/4 meals had an error (messing up spice levels on two and wrong meat in one). the server was new, though, and she claimed that one error was the kitchen's fault. it seems like we have a new server every time we go.

the buffet is... well... bad. i'm surprised to see the positive votes for it here. i don't know what goes wrong when they are cooking in large masses, but something is just off. it isn't disgusting, but nothing i would pay money for.

i went here with my husband for dinner tonight to try it out and was amazed! we have both been overseas and this was just like the authentic food there! the owners/staff is very friendly and helped us pick out agoodmeal! i didnt like the first coarse i had (it was a little too spicy for me being 8 months prego) but she promptly made me something else that was delish! i highly recommend it!
