kababs

lunch buffet. buffet had a nice presentation but very limited space and limited items. all items on main buffet dishes were cooked to same spice temp. rice was long grain and not a saffron rice which would have been. bread pudding ( not southern style) was great for a desert. i would say a better dinner thanlunchkind of restaurant.

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. thelunchbuffet is acceptable. it feels like someone is training to cook, every batch tastes different. the dishes at thelunchbuffet 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 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 had indian food would do a better job of making chicken curry by following a recipe online.

downhill. i went to kababs yesterday forlunchbecause i was in that area of town for an appointment. i had eaten there a couple years ago, and thought it was very good. yesterday was another story. the food was horrible! starting with the naan; in the past it was authentic. the bread yesterday was definitely a packaged product. it seemed like one of those pancake-like pitas. i tried bits of most of the offerings and they were all bad. the potatoes were extremely salty. the meats seemed like they might be on the verge (or beyond) of turning bad. i just had an overwhelming sense that i was going to get sick/food-poisoned by my meal. i will never return to this place.

bad service. went to kababslunchbuffet n gets really disappointed.owner was not there n the waitress was rude n food was cold. some of the items were stale.the naans had back soot at them when complaint the next they brought were raw,then waitress ignored n didnt serve any naan again..............gets extremely disappointed n not going back there again ever......i recomend dont waste your money at there.very very rude staff .disappointed......

no thanks. just got back withlunchfrom here. had the samosas and chicken tikka masala. the chicken was rather tough and mostly tendons and ligaments rather than actual meat. the samosas were ok, but i could make better at home without trying. quite frankly, the quality was not what i was expecting and at nearly $20 for my meal i will not be going back.

what is this?. i have never had indian food before, and i think today will be my last adventure at trying it. we had thelunchbuffet, 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 differentlunchitems, 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 2lunchbuffets and 2 drinks.

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 thelunchbuffet. there are many different dishes to choose from and equally delicious. a very good deal. will visit again. by the way, the service is great....makes me want to go back soon.
