kababs

excellent vegetarian food... my wife is vegetarian & wanted to try really authenticindianfood. our experience at kababs was excellent. food was really nice specially veg tikka masala & samosa. service was really good. there was personal attention from owner. i recommend kababs.

bestindianand pakistani food in town. in a city where most restaraunts are average, kababs excells. they have the best buffet-- everything is delicious and the service is great. this truly is the bestindianfood in town. if you haven't tried it, you need to go.

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 cookindiandishes 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 a good number 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 actually good at 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 hadindianfood would do a better job of making chicken curry by following a recipe online.

certainly room for improvement. i an not a connoisseur ofindianfood, just a local on a date night with my wife. she had the lamb kababs marinated with garlic and spices with a side of naan, and i had the daal fry (lentils finished with browned garlic, green chilies, and coriander leaves) with a side of rice.

there was only 1 other customer when we entered, tuesday night at 8, maybe this is normal customer volume the day of the week and time? the waitress was sitting at a table with presumably her boyfriend, which is perhaps acceptable with a low customer volume? she got up to seat us and take our order, then returned to her table, getting up occasionally to refill our drinks and then bring our order when it was prepared, and the check when we were done. it kind of felt like half-hearted service to me.

the lamb kababs with naan side did not seem like a complete meal to us. it was really just 4 or 5 pieces of (broiled or grilled) lamb on a garnish if lettuce. no additional vegetables. when we do kababs at home we add onions, mushrooms, bell peppers, zucchini, tomatoes... i do not know what a traditionalindiankabab consists of, but we both were expecting some veggies with the lamb kabab to complete the meal. the flavor and texture was only okay.

my daal fry was good, but the side of rice was the star of the evening. there were seeds in the rice, i suspect cumin, and other seasonings that made the rice absolutely delicious.

i guess that kind of sums up our experience at the restaurant, if the side of rice can be the highlight of the meal, then there is certainly be room for improvement in all other areas...

absolute worstindianfood i have ever eaten. no papadum. had to ask for rice. mango lassi was awful. saag paneer was made with mustard greens instead of spinach. will never be eating there again.

yummers. i go to kababs whenever i craveindianfood. my personal favorite is the chicken makni and i add garlic naan to it. my friend likes the chicken tikka masala and the lassi. i don't go anywhere else forindianfood, because this place is close to my house and i have heard is better than theindianrestaurants on the east side. hint: if you want to get food to go, order it 20 minutes a head of time, going in and order in person takes quite a bit of time. other than that, its a gem, especially since the west side does not have a lot, but kababs would be great on any side of town. bonus: if you eat in the restaurant, you can listen to bollywood music while you eat!

i usu. don't go forindianfood (my close friends know my history with this kind of cuisine), but this food was great, and service was friendly. will for sure dine again soon.

what is this?. i have never hadindianfood before, and i think today will be my last adventure at trying it. we had the lunch buffet, and used our $10 living social deal for $20 worth of food. i suppose it is fairly priced, the buffet was $8.99 for all you can eat and they had about 12 different lunch items, rice, salad, and dessert options. i had the mint lemonade, which was good, but not very minty, however it was $2.99- i say stick with water here. the naan bread taste like, well- nothing. the jasmine rice was good. the chicken dishes were all made with chicken thighs (cheap, and very fatty). i suppose if i knew what the ingrediants were in the food, i may have been able to eat more, but the only thing i found familar and that i could even swallow was the veggies in tomato sauce. our bill came out to $24.91 for 2 lunch buffets and 2 drinks.

bestindianfood in town. i went to the buffet on a saturday ($9.99 a person) and it was amazing. they had a variety of food and everything was surprisingly flavorful. the atmosphere is great and and the staff is brilliant. i will definitely go again.

great! but..... i am generally unimpressed with theindianrestaurants in wichita, but this is a good one 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 withindianfood, 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.

bestindianfood in town!. i am always pleased when eating at kababs! the food is extremely authentic and the service is wonderful. definitely a hidden gem!

will go again. wonderful food and service! went for a birthday celebration and everyone agreed that we were served some of the bestindianfood around. fantastic veggie samosas! reasonably priced....will definitely go again!!
