NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL We were travelling and decided to stop by for lunch at this restaurant - Overall Service : Extremely Poor Food quality : Poor (not really Indian) Wait time: 1.5 hours Served wrong orders They are heavily short staffed. Management team was MIA due to personal reasons and got in after 1p. Multiple customers left the restaurant frustrated due to long wait times. Our server was new however extremely polite. (+1 for Sherry) There is definitely scope of improving customer experience.

The place is not terribly inviting but the staff are friendly and fairly attentive. Menu is extensive enough to have a good choice without having so many dishes that none are special. Chicken Madras to die for. Good portions and a deep hotness that is obviously from a careful blend not just chili. Will be back whenever I'm in Miami.

I had the Biriani and my wife got the butter chicken, they were both very good. Very nice staff. Recommended.

It was on New Year's Eve during day we stopped there. I believe the place was short staffed, and the lady there was trying to be courteous while juggling...so I do not have any complaints about service. The complaint I do have is with the food. The food was low class, with few spices here and there this place is trying to be pass by as an Indian restaurant. I feel bad for tourists and anybody that don't know Indian cuisine, as they are being suckered in. I ordered okra Fry. Just to let you know. Oh the tea was good though.

i went here for lunch with my friend today and there was only one other person inside, who was already finishing up. so explain to me why the service was SO slow and lackluster..our waitress filled our rather small-sized glasses once with water before we got our food......and another time AFTER we were done eating. didn't come by to ask if we needed any more rice, and spilled food all over my friend's stuff. our food took forever to get to us as well. basically the service is shit but the food is pretty good albeit a bit pricey for the portions we received..

Great delivery service through Yelp, a bit too oily but great. Once raining got to wait a bit to come. But worth the wait...
If you're a seasoned eater of Indian cuisine, you may find that Kebab Indian Restaurant lacks just that...seasoning. Restaurants who cook food that differs significantly in taste and spice from prominent North American and European cuisines will sometimes take the "edge" out of their food to avoid the complaints from a mainly unaccustomed customer base. They may have gone a little overboard in this case. That said, if you actually aren't accustomed to eating Desi (South Asian) cuisine, this is a great restaurant to try out. The food is good, the portions are great and the prices are fair. This is a wonderful restaurant for vegans or vegetarians (as are all Indian restaurants) too. The decor here is not overbearing, with soft older Indian songs playing in the background and warm lighting throughout the restaurant. They've crafted a quiet and intimate feel that makes for a refreshing break from the overly stimulated atmosphere of some restaurants. The service (I've eaten here twice) is excellent; servers are helpful, friendly and polite. Kebab Indian Restaurant is basically the perfect place to take your American Mid-Western family out to dinner for something a little different.

The butter chicken was delicious.....the waitress was real nice and allowed me to try items from the buffet as a sample. I would go back for the butter chicken

We ordered chicken biryani as a to-go. It is like rice mixed with chicken curry. Tasted like sambar rice. Expected hyderabad biryani style but got disappointed. Raitha tasted very different, probably it's not what am used too or it is bad..not sure.

This restaurant was good and our waitress Afrin was so warm and welcoming, made us feel at home. She was very attentive and made the dining experience even better. Both my husband and I thought she was the owner with her attention to detail for every table.

Needs much more flavor! It's a generous 2.5 out of 5 stars. The food was not bad... it just was not at all special. Had the Shrimp Vindaloo, Chicken Tikka Masala and Naan (both the plain and garlic); the garlic naan did not taste good. I recommend the plain naan here.

We have had northern Indian food from many places, but this one tops all of them. I'm not sure what they did recently, but the food is SPECTACULAR. The service was wonderful, the restaurant is clean and well kept, and my Shrimp Vindaloo was perfectly HOT, not too hot.....highly recommended

This place blows, servers are clueless, no food on their buffet line, glasses are dirty. Food was ok, if they have it. Only reason why i tried this place is because its close by my workplace. Never gonna go back to this place again. 1 star is being generous, they should have half stars

Went with friends yesterday. The place was nearly empty. Not a good sign. We only saw one waitress on the premises. We had terrible problems with service. Most of the group arrived earlier than I did. When a friend and I joined them, the waitress walked off without acknowledging our existence, and it was quite a while before we saw her again. It took a very long time for her to come out and take orders. She never smiled; she had what I would describe as a pained expression on her face. She barely spoke. It was hard to understand her. At times she seemed annoyed. The wait for the food was very long. We ran out of water quickly. The waitress ignored us, and we got so desperate one of us took a carafe from what appeared to be an abandoned table. The food started coming out. Some people got served. Others had to wait. I ordered lamb rogan josh, rayta, mint chutney, puri, and a Sprite. The puri showed up before the lamb. When the lamb rolled out, she didn't bring the chutney and rayta, and I had to remind her. Ages later, she brought them. The Sprite required more prodding. We sat at the table discussing the best thing to do. No tip? A tip accompanied by a note for the manager? The food was okay, although the onion chutney seemed to be something that came from a jar. I would not go back to this place. I don't want to deal with unmotivated waiters, and I would like to have my food brought out in a reasonable time. I don't want to see one item at 1:10 and another item at 1:28. I want the beverage so I can drink it with the entree, not dessert. Obvious, right?

We were here just for few days and before heading back to DC decided to stop by at an indian restaurant. Nothing great about this place. We tried tried their Buffett. The price was reasonable. The food was okay. The bathroom really smelled bad, they should keep it smelling fresh. The servers had problem speaking English so it was a little difficult communicating with them.

Spicy as hell! Got my order through online delivery service, mentioned everywhere MILD=not spicy. After paying over $60 for delivery realized that everything ordered was spicy as hell: from tandoori chicken to vegetable korma! My poor hungry toddlers had to chew on nann bread for lunch. Disappointing and honestly taste wise- the worst indian food I've had!

What a difference a year makes!!! Went here with some friends for the lunchtime buffet and what a marked change. Gone are the intimate booths, but also gone is the dinginess... now we have an open freshly painted and newly carpeted clean restaurant and more importantly...without compromise to the food. The vegetable soup was just great. I went back three times for it (oink oink). So pungent, so flavorful. It was my favorite. The all you can eat lunchtime buffet is a great deal because Indian food is so expensive in South Florida for some reason and here you have a chance to taste many dishes at a great price. The service for my Kingfisher beer was a tad slow given that the waitress didn't have anything to do except provide water and drinks to the tables. Kebab is back on top of my rota for Lunchtime treats:)

This review was for a recent takeout dinner from Kebab Indian Restaurant. This was the first and last time I will be eating from this restaurant. As we didn't eat-in this review is primarily for the food and not for the service, ambiance, etcetera. The items we ordered were Lamb curry, Butter Chicken, Seekh Kebab, Raita, Naan and Rice. I've eaten Indian food over a 100 times. Hence, I know what to expect in regard to taste, flavor, spices, etcetera. The food was below average at best. It lacked the flavor that Indian food is so well known for. The Butter Chicken was more of a tomato paste based stew rather than the rich taste of a Butter Chicken. The lamb curry was a watered down version of what a lamb curry usually is. It appears they may have been holding back on the spices. To clarify, I was was not seeking spicy, just flavorful. Similarly the seekh kebab was $16 for one 7-8 inch skewer that was cut-up in 4 pieces of blandness. Rice served in Indian restaurants is Basmati-the aromatic rice that entices your palate before it reaches your table. The rice served here was the standard supermarket long grain. The Raita was the biggest disappointment. We paid $10 for 4 very small containers. Raita It is plain yogurt, cucumber and spices. Once again, no spices but instead the chef at this place decided to add sugar to sweeten the salad, which is not the norm. In fact, I have never in my life eaten a Raita that had sugar in it. All said if you wish to eat "Indian" food you may want to consider a different place, I definitely am, as the food here was disappointing. I'm giving it 2 stars (that I feel is more than generous) as the owner-woman-was very polite at the time of picking up the order.

I'm used to arriving at Indian restaurants and there be plenty of available seating. However, Kebab Indian Restaurant was totally empty. Which was a scary sign at first, but one that we are used to facing. We sat down and were the only customers in the entire joint, not too bad and the owners son was our waiter, who was extremely friendly and eager to make sure that we were taken care of. I do grant one star for being an intimate, clean, well decorated venue. One more star for the quality of service. My last star will be granted for location. It is probably the closest Indian restaurant near the 33025 zip code, so it makes it more difficult to drive to more preferred Indian restaurants. I was not overly impressed with the food, and this maybe had something to do with the fact that we were the only ones in the restaurant, so we were probably eating the leftovers from earlier that day. Regardless, I may go back, but it may require some convincing. The other positive is that the naan bread was made fresh for us.

It's not exactly Indian food, but it's delicious and made with love. I ordered the Chicken Bayrani (sp?) and the goat Qua--? These names are a little difficult! It's rice with spices and goat meat. So good. The staff is friendly. Hole in the wall, great food, I highly recommend!!

Saibu S.
I love this place. If you're ever there, order their Butter Chicken or the Chicken Tikka Masala. You'll not regret it. Although, keep in mind, if you are not used to having spicy food, you might find it a little too spicy. I suggest you ask the person taking care of you and go with their recommendation. Speaking of which, ask for Afrin: she is SO amazing, friendly, accommodating, and she really knows her stuff. They also have an assortment of Indian beers that you wouldn't find anywhere else. Parking is not an issue either. The only downside is the location: it's a little far away from South Beach, Brickell, and Downtown where I usually hangout. But if you take the trip, I'm sure you'll love it.

We love this place. Naan is fresh and always delicious. Chili chicken is great. There is one waitress, Astrid, who goes out of her way to make sure we feel welcomed and taken care of. Prices are exceptional for the quality.

I tried their lunch buffet and the food was decent and reasonably priced at $11.00 There were some dishes that could have been less dry like their red chicken. The two waitresses we saw barely smiled and seemed a little too shy (not the qualities you look for in a server) and didn't seem like they were happy to be there (maybe it was a cultural thing) when we sat down they both let us just sit there for 5 -10 minutes before acknowledging us.... their customer service is hit or miss. But the restaurant from what I could see was clean and the buffet area was attended well. Its quick and easy for lunch during the work week so I would recommend them for a quick lunch.

Great! I love this place..I remember coming here about 4 years ago to their lunch buffet to satisfy my co-workers and I, Indian food cravings. I came here about 3 nights ago and although they did not have the buffet, I must say their food is still good if not better than before! I ordered Chicken Tikka Masala and Butter Chicken with Garlic Naan. They were both delicious! I will definetely be coming here again as this is my number one pick for Indian food around this area.

Michelle P.
This place is great! I've been there several times and I've never tried anything I didn't like... Rather, everything I've tried has been really wonderful. They have a ton of vegetarian (and vegan) options although the restaurant is not vegetarian by all means. They recently remodeled the place and it looks a lot better. It's not fancy or anything like that, but it's a quaint little Indian restaurant with really amazing food. I would definitely recommend going here, without a doubt!

Worst Indian I've ever eaten. Copper Chimney is 5 mins. from my job so I tried the lunch buffet. It was so awful I went back a second time because I couldn't believe it was that bad, I assumed they must have just had an off day the first time I went. But no, it really is just awful, bland food. Try Copper Chimney in North Miami Beach or Royal India in Ft. Laud.

Cristina R.
The food was wonderful! Parking was easy and sufficient. Restaurant was clean and although small had a few patrons eating when we arrived. The waitress was nice and accommodating, a bit on the slow side as far as service, but not annoyingly so. We got the garlic Nnaan and aloo pakora as appetizers, both hot fresh and delicious! I got the coconut chicken (little to no spiciness), my mom got the eggplant bhatra (little to no spiciness), my dad got the lobster curry (mild), and my son the fried tilapia (medium). My chicken was really good, my dads was perfectly cooked and yummy bit too spicy for me. My son's was perfect, but the shining dish was surprisingly my mom's eggplant. I don't like eggplant but this was one was just too amazing! I would definitely return to this restaurant!

Jarrod H.
I ordered takeout from this place and it was very good, I would definitely order again. I got the paneer masala and the butter chicken, Both were very tasty. The garlic, onion, and butter naan were all exceptional and were served hot. I also placed a huge order and they had it ready exactly when specified. Awesome!
(5)
Samantha H.
Two stars sums it up. Grab take out if it's convenient. The food is fine, not amazing not awful. It will hit the spot if its all that's around. I don't suggest dining in-- there is only one waitress which inevitably leads to poor service. We were given only one glass of water each our whole visit and we didn't receive it until we had been seated for over half an hour.

Gi S.
My star rating is based solely on the food, if your there for ambiance, decor or service, this is not the place for you! I was going to the Panya Thai restaurant next door but the place was closed for renovation. Kebab was pretty busy and I'm guessing it's because Panya was closed Vegetable Samosa's = delicious! Shrimp Vindaloo = OMG so good! Lamb Curry = great curry flavor but chinsy on the meat. All good portions and spiced just right. There was only 1 waitress and the manager working the tables. The waitress was off on another planet, couldn't get her attention if you got hit by a curry cart but the manager was really nice and as attentive as he could be for a restaurant full of people. Would definitely go back for the food. Mmmm Mmmm Good :0)

A few years ago this was arguably the best Indian spot around. The ownership, decor and food has changed. It's still good stuff, but this is no longer a place you plan a dinner around. It basically hits the Indian craving if you're nearby.

Abdullah A.
Loved the food. We had Lamb Roghan Gosht with plain Nan. We, generally cook and eat pretty hot but we went with medium spice level and found it to be accurately calibrated to our to taste buds. Meaning their medium was our medium. They serve halal food, in case you're wondering about that. Will come again inshallah.

This Indian restaurant remains reliably good and reasonable. Convenient parking directly in front or behind restaurant.
I have been staring at this place for 20 years and finally decided to try it. Unfortunately for them, they are next door to the best Thai restaurant in South Florida, Panya Thai. I ate Thai a few days ago next door and finally decided to try this Indian restaurant that I have been looking at for so long. I tried to lunch buffet which was absolutely delicious. They had butter chicken on the birthday that was simply outstanding. All the food it was fresh, warm, and looks like it was made to order. The place was spotless, and had a great atmosphere. They also had chaana, daal, and the typical Indian fare. I highly recommend this restaurant for lunch.

Michelle W.
So, let me preface this with it's really getting a 2 stars for the buffet. It had a lack of variety that I'm accustomed to with India buffets & they didn't even have samosas out!!! What is that??? Anyhow, I don't eat meat & most of the options they had out were chicken.... so that was kind of a bummer. The lentil dish that I had was quite excellent with the naan. I didn't care for the rice at all. It was very buttery & greasy, not the usual saffron or white rice you normally get at Indian restaurants. They also did have a veggie soup that was quite good. It had a really nice kick to it. So, I don't recommend going for the buffet unless you eat meat.... I do want to go back and order off the menu to see if I can upgrade them, because other than the rice, the food I ate was decent.

Carmen D.
Blah as to the flavors of all the curries I tried in the buffet. Very subpar and lacking in so many levels. The lentil soup was good only redeeming factor. Sorry not a fan.

There was an extremely long wait for the food. There were two parties so not sure if this is the norm. Not sure if the food was really that great or just that i was that hungry from the wait.. Will have to wait till i eat here again to give a more fair judgement

Tired of doing rushed lunches on weekends in between errands... so decided to finally check out one of the spots I drive by all the time. Indian has always been high on my list... but it needed to be with someone who knows what they're doing, since I'm a novice at Indian cuisine. Place was empty when we got there... which was a bit worrisome... but they quickly changed my mind. Now I wish I could tell you what we ordered... but I wasn't the one doing the ordering. It's hard for me to order at these places because I do.not.like.spicy.food. Go ahead and judge, but my taste buds just can't handle it. We started out with a variety of sauces and some kind of pita/chip/bread to dip it in. The challenge of finding something mild, but delicious for my main dish was met by a involving chicken, pineapple and almonds. Prices weren't bad... and service wasn't either (I would hope not - there was only one other table being served by the time we left).

If I could give "0 " starts I would, people I took my boyfriend to this "place" 2 days ago and OMG, I want it to use the bathroom so I open the door and there was a HUGE ROACH ,looking at me , so disgusting, I immediately told the waitress that look like she didn't shower in days!!! I came outside and told her and she said I'm sorry and LAUGH.. My bf was so upset:( please be careful and don't waste your time driving there.

Giving it three stars, which is pushing it since the service was pretty horrible. Food was excellent, but our waitress was far from courteous as mentioned below. I would've understood if we were there during a weekend and it was packed, but it was a Wednesday night, and only two other couples were inside with us. Took almost 10 minutes until they took our drink order, and when the food did finally arrive, we had to wait an extra 5 minutes for our rice. I'm guessing the lack of good service is due to the fact that they automatically add 15% tip to every check. I normally tip 20% as long as the service is good, so they kinda lost out on that in my opinion. If we do ever decide on this place, we'll probably just order take-out.

This place NEVER lets me down!!!! The dinner special is well worth it if you want a nice variety of appetizers, curries, and meats. It also includes amazing dessert!! Took my nieces who had never tried Indian....they loved it!

Previously gave this place a great review but feel it very necessary to give an update. We dined here for a third time tonight ordering dishes we've had here before and it was as if we were at a different restaurant. The chicken tikka masala wasn't as good as a package preparation you can buy in a grocery store and the lamb curry was thin and watered down tasting. Our empty dishes sat for ages on table while we waited for our included dessert and watched our waitress texting endlessly in the back of the restaurant. Definitely not consistent in food or service.

I am an Indian food snob. Its sad and true. Growing up, I had a friend named Farah, who is Indian and whose wonderful and blessed mother and grandmother, would cook for us rag tag bunch of teenagers. Ever since, that has been the rubric I have held for Indian food. Now this place, it has come so close that I am tickled pink by their skills! We had no clue what the heck we were going to order and the lovely waitress explained all the dishes we asked about thoroughly. Now let me just say, they have the most amazing Na'an bread (did I massacre that spelling?) Its fresh and smells so yummy! We spread the garlic butter on it and it was divine! And let me tell you..the food....AHHHHHHHH! So glorious. Sigh. They made mine mild and my boyfriends spicy enough that he was sweating in his 'britches' ! The jasmine rice was perfection. The dishes which I have zero clue what they are called, made our mouths water just looking at them and rightly so since they were amazing. Ok so why did I give them less then perfect, well for a sit down place it was shabby looking. It looked like it belonged in a cheap B rate 70 movie. Also they seem to cater out and the people from the catering business kept coming in on their phones being loud and just obnoxious if you as me. Walked around like they owned the place and you could tell that the patrons were uncomfortable. It took away from the experience for us. They need to do that in a different way so as to not put off the customers.

Natalie M.
The garlic naan and parathas are delicious! For my main meal I had the vegetarian dinner plate for $20-- this may seem pricey but for the amount of food and the taste, its totally worth it. Rice, two dishes,three appetizer samplers, soup,bread, three dressings and a dessert honey ball. Not to mention its actually pretty good indian food for south florida. I would have liked no peas or corn in my rice though, so if you order make sure to ask for plain rice with your meal.

The decor of this restaurant may need a little upgrading. But the food is very good. I have tried their lunch buffet, which is fabulous, and their dinner menu is just as good. The staff is friendly and very helpful. If you are in the mood for something different and an eclectic palette of flavors and spices, give Kebab a try. You will not be disappointed.
(3)
Rick V.
The only reason I gave them a 4 is the interior has been changed from cosey booths and tables to just tables. Lost a lot of atmosphere. We are long time customers (since early 80's) and have eaten Indian food at many places in the US. We have always gone just for dinner. All the different dishes we have had were excellent. We have taken friends that said the same. Our favorite dinner is the "Kebab Indian dinner for 2". It includes soup. appetizers, 2 main dishes, dessert and tea or coffee prepared to your personal spicy taste.

I love coming here! I come here every now and again. If I order take out or I decide to eat in I always feel satisfied, especially with the price. I love how they have a lot of vegetarian options too.

Decided to make it an India night out by first having some Kebab and then watching Slumdog Millionaire @ Sunset Cinemas wit some friends. Much like Jennifer, this was also my first time doing Indian but it won't be my last. We ordered a bunch of different stuff and kind of shared it so I got to try a lot. There was not one item that wasn't delicious. We started with Nan (bread) Leavened bread of fine flavor, baked in tandoor w/ butter $3.50 Garlic Nan (bread) Leavened bread of fine flavor, baked in tandoor w/ garlic butter $3.95. On the table we had Chicken Tikka Masala, Boneless chicken pieces cooked w/ cream, fresh tomato sauce, onions, green peppers and indian spices. $15.95 Lamb Biryani Tender pieces of lamb cooked w/ rice, nuts and spice flavored sauce. $15.95 Palak Panir Spinach and homemade cheese w/ a little curry sauce. $11.95 Aloo Gobhi Cauliflower, potatoes and green peas cooked w/ herbs and spices. $11.95 The service was attentive. I never had to ask for a refill of my water and thats great 'cause it can get spicy. The only reason that it doesn't get a fifth star is that I thought it was a bit pricey but then again I really don't have anything to compare it to.

I've been eating at this Indian restaurant since I moved to Miami more than 10 years ago. The dish I enjoy the most is chicken shahi korma with rice pillaw and plain nan. Other items on the menu including the mango lassi are tasty as well. The authentic service with a smile is always something I count on when visiting. The decor, music and staff remind you that you're in an Indian restaurant which is great, but the overall feel of the restaurant is a little bit cold. This is the best Indian restaurant in Miami and Fort Lauderdale.

Jennifer R.
This was my first rendezvous with Indian cuisine and how lovely it was. I have been dying to try Indian food for weeks but something always came up. By coincident, the friends we were having dinner with last suggested Indian food and I jumped on the idea of going to Kebab. Kebab is small, not fancy, moms and pops family joint. The dining room is decorated with Indian arts and they play very soothing Indian music in the background. Between the 4 of us, the Kebab dinner for two, 2 other entrees and garlic nan. The food was excellent and the wait staff was courteous, it was a great 1st time experience with Indian food and I will definitely go back for more.

ive seen this restaurant so many times and never actually been in, until the other night i decided to stop by for dinner. i was in the area with my friend john. we walked in and got seated immediately. this place smelled so good, so i knew right away that i had made a good choice in coming in. service took a while, for everything, for our menus, for our drinks...for them to take the order. but everything we ordered was delicious. vegetable samosas and aloo pakora. great stuff, tasty and spiced to perfection. then we shared a chicken masala and the vegetable biryani (rice cooked with onion, tomatoes, mixed vegetables and nuts), of course some naan bread and cucumber rayta. what a delicious dinner. next time, ill order medium spicy instead of mild. i just wasnt sure what 'spicy' meant for the waitress ...i think i can handle medium. i will definitely go back to this place and i highly recommend it to those who enjoy the north indian cuisine. oh yeah, we finished almost everything (some naan and rice leftover) and paid less than 50$ including tip. awesome!

pretty good for a 10.99 lunch buffet. decent naan, butter chicken, tandoori, pumpkin dish, etc. come here for that if you're gonna check it out.

India is the birth place of Chicken Tikka Masala and Curries. Indian foods are prepared with a blend of finely mixed spices quite popular across the region. The spices develop the rich taste in Indian food enough to boggle your mind. The ever-increasing fan base of Indian food around the New York city is steadily increasing because of the large number of Indians who traveled to the land of dreams. The Indians also brought their very own vibrant, colorful, and aromatic authentic dishes for the people in the West. While most of the Indian population is Vegetarian, Indian food is great for people who are looking for vegan or vegetarian food option. If you are a Meat lover, don't get disappointed yet. Indian food also boasts of some popular non-vegetarian dishes too. Few examples are the famous Butter Chicken, Mutton Biryani and Tandoori Chicken are enough to satisfy your taste buds.
Indian food has gained reputation all over the world especially in the United States. You can find many places serving the appetizing Indian food across all major cities in the US. India is a diverse country with different food culture originated from different parts of the country. While the Northern region boasts tandoori dishes and korma offering royal taste, the Western Ghats offers sea foods that is made in naturally sweet tender coconut milk. The South Indian food servers a quality of different dishes made from rice accompanied with spicy chutneys, curries and famous sambhar. Also, the Indian sweets are a delight to relish. If you ever want to have a burst of sugar syrup in mouth, don't forget to try few Bengali Sweets. Be it spicy, tangy, or sweet flavor, you can find everything in the Indian cuisine. Be assured that the melody of spices will surely bring delight to you.

NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL We were travelling and decided to stop by for lunch at this restaurant - Overall Service : Extremely Poor Food quality : Poor (not really Indian) Wait time: 1.5 hours Served wrong orders They are heavily short staffed. Management team was MIA due to personal reasons and got in after 1p. Multiple customers left the restaurant frustrated due to long wait times. Our server was new however extremely polite. (+1 for Sherry) There is definitely scope of improving customer experience.

The place is not terribly inviting but the staff are friendly and fairly attentive. Menu is extensive enough to have a good choice without having so many dishes that none are special. Chicken Madras to die for. Good portions and a deep hotness that is obviously from a careful blend not just chili. Will be back whenever I'm in Miami.

I had the Biriani and my wife got the butter chicken, they were both very good. Very nice staff. Recommended.

It was on New Year's Eve during day we stopped there. I believe the place was short staffed, and the lady there was trying to be courteous while juggling...so I do not have any complaints about service. The complaint I do have is with the food. The food was low class, with few spices here and there this place is trying to be pass by as an Indian restaurant. I feel bad for tourists and anybody that don't know Indian cuisine, as they are being suckered in. I ordered okra Fry. Just to let you know. Oh the tea was good though.

i went here for lunch with my friend today and there was only one other person inside, who was already finishing up. so explain to me why the service was SO slow and lackluster..our waitress filled our rather small-sized glasses once with water before we got our food......and another time AFTER we were done eating. didn't come by to ask if we needed any more rice, and spilled food all over my friend's stuff. our food took forever to get to us as well. basically the service is shit but the food is pretty good albeit a bit pricey for the portions we received..

Great delivery service through Yelp, a bit too oily but great. Once raining got to wait a bit to come. But worth the wait...

If you're a seasoned eater of Indian cuisine, you may find that Kebab Indian Restaurant lacks just that...seasoning. Restaurants who cook food that differs significantly in taste and spice from prominent North American and European cuisines will sometimes take the "edge" out of their food to avoid the complaints from a mainly unaccustomed customer base. They may have gone a little overboard in this case. That said, if you actually aren't accustomed to eating Desi (South Asian) cuisine, this is a great restaurant to try out. The food is good, the portions are great and the prices are fair. This is a wonderful restaurant for vegans or vegetarians (as are all Indian restaurants) too. The decor here is not overbearing, with soft older Indian songs playing in the background and warm lighting throughout the restaurant. They've crafted a quiet and intimate feel that makes for a refreshing break from the overly stimulated atmosphere of some restaurants. The service (I've eaten here twice) is excellent; servers are helpful, friendly and polite. Kebab Indian Restaurant is basically the perfect place to take your American Mid-Western family out to dinner for something a little different.

The butter chicken was delicious.....the waitress was real nice and allowed me to try items from the buffet as a sample. I would go back for the butter chicken
(5)Srikanth M.
We ordered chicken biryani as a to-go. It is like rice mixed with chicken curry. Tasted like sambar rice. Expected hyderabad biryani style but got disappointed. Raitha tasted very different, probably it's not what am used too or it is bad..not sure.
(3)Sabrina S.
This restaurant was good and our waitress Afrin was so warm and welcoming, made us feel at home. She was very attentive and made the dining experience even better. Both my husband and I thought she was the owner with her attention to detail for every table.
(3)Nicole C.
Needs much more flavor! It's a generous 2.5 out of 5 stars. The food was not bad... it just was not at all special. Had the Shrimp Vindaloo, Chicken Tikka Masala and Naan (both the plain and garlic); the garlic naan did not taste good. I recommend the plain naan here.
(2)John C.
We have had northern Indian food from many places, but this one tops all of them. I'm not sure what they did recently, but the food is SPECTACULAR. The service was wonderful, the restaurant is clean and well kept, and my Shrimp Vindaloo was perfectly HOT, not too hot.....highly recommended
(5)Rye M.
This place blows, servers are clueless, no food on their buffet line, glasses are dirty. Food was ok, if they have it. Only reason why i tried this place is because its close by my workplace. Never gonna go back to this place again. 1 star is being generous, they should have half stars

Went with friends yesterday. The place was nearly empty. Not a good sign. We only saw one waitress on the premises. We had terrible problems with service. Most of the group arrived earlier than I did. When a friend and I joined them, the waitress walked off without acknowledging our existence, and it was quite a while before we saw her again. It took a very long time for her to come out and take orders. She never smiled; she had what I would describe as a pained expression on her face. She barely spoke. It was hard to understand her. At times she seemed annoyed. The wait for the food was very long. We ran out of water quickly. The waitress ignored us, and we got so desperate one of us took a carafe from what appeared to be an abandoned table. The food started coming out. Some people got served. Others had to wait. I ordered lamb rogan josh, rayta, mint chutney, puri, and a Sprite. The puri showed up before the lamb. When the lamb rolled out, she didn't bring the chutney and rayta, and I had to remind her. Ages later, she brought them. The Sprite required more prodding. We sat at the table discussing the best thing to do. No tip? A tip accompanied by a note for the manager? The food was okay, although the onion chutney seemed to be something that came from a jar. I would not go back to this place. I don't want to deal with unmotivated waiters, and I would like to have my food brought out in a reasonable time. I don't want to see one item at 1:10 and another item at 1:28. I want the beverage so I can drink it with the entree, not dessert. Obvious, right?
(2)Hamed G.
We were here just for few days and before heading back to DC decided to stop by at an indian restaurant. Nothing great about this place. We tried tried their Buffett. The price was reasonable. The food was okay. The bathroom really smelled bad, they should keep it smelling fresh. The servers had problem speaking English so it was a little difficult communicating with them.
(2)Ariadna R.
quiet ambiance very clean and confortable food is excellent especially the chicken tiki masala I would definately recommend to anyone also loved the tea I ordered a combination plate dinner for two
(5)Anya W.
Spicy as hell! Got my order through online delivery service, mentioned everywhere MILD=not spicy. After paying over $60 for delivery realized that everything ordered was spicy as hell: from tandoori chicken to vegetable korma! My poor hungry toddlers had to chew on nann bread for lunch. Disappointing and honestly taste wise- the worst indian food I've had!
(1)Gina H.
What a difference a year makes!!! Went here with some friends for the lunchtime buffet and what a marked change. Gone are the intimate booths, but also gone is the dinginess... now we have an open freshly painted and newly carpeted clean restaurant and more importantly...without compromise to the food. The vegetable soup was just great. I went back three times for it (oink oink). So pungent, so flavorful. It was my favorite. The all you can eat lunchtime buffet is a great deal because Indian food is so expensive in South Florida for some reason and here you have a chance to taste many dishes at a great price. The service for my Kingfisher beer was a tad slow given that the waitress didn't have anything to do except provide water and drinks to the tables. Kebab is back on top of my rota for Lunchtime treats:)

This review was for a recent takeout dinner from Kebab Indian Restaurant. This was the first and last time I will be eating from this restaurant. As we didn't eat-in this review is primarily for the food and not for the service, ambiance, etcetera. The items we ordered were Lamb curry, Butter Chicken, Seekh Kebab, Raita, Naan and Rice. I've eaten Indian food over a 100 times. Hence, I know what to expect in regard to taste, flavor, spices, etcetera. The food was below average at best. It lacked the flavor that Indian food is so well known for. The Butter Chicken was more of a tomato paste based stew rather than the rich taste of a Butter Chicken. The lamb curry was a watered down version of what a lamb curry usually is. It appears they may have been holding back on the spices. To clarify, I was was not seeking spicy, just flavorful. Similarly the seekh kebab was $16 for one 7-8 inch skewer that was cut-up in 4 pieces of blandness. Rice served in Indian restaurants is Basmati-the aromatic rice that entices your palate before it reaches your table. The rice served here was the standard supermarket long grain. The Raita was the biggest disappointment. We paid $10 for 4 very small containers. Raita It is plain yogurt, cucumber and spices. Once again, no spices but instead the chef at this place decided to add sugar to sweeten the salad, which is not the norm. In fact, I have never in my life eaten a Raita that had sugar in it. All said if you wish to eat "Indian" food you may want to consider a different place, I definitely am, as the food here was disappointing. I'm giving it 2 stars (that I feel is more than generous) as the owner-woman-was very polite at the time of picking up the order.
(2)Javi S.
I'm used to arriving at Indian restaurants and there be plenty of available seating. However, Kebab Indian Restaurant was totally empty. Which was a scary sign at first, but one that we are used to facing. We sat down and were the only customers in the entire joint, not too bad and the owners son was our waiter, who was extremely friendly and eager to make sure that we were taken care of. I do grant one star for being an intimate, clean, well decorated venue. One more star for the quality of service. My last star will be granted for location. It is probably the closest Indian restaurant near the 33025 zip code, so it makes it more difficult to drive to more preferred Indian restaurants. I was not overly impressed with the food, and this maybe had something to do with the fact that we were the only ones in the restaurant, so we were probably eating the leftovers from earlier that day. Regardless, I may go back, but it may require some convincing. The other positive is that the naan bread was made fresh for us.
(3)Sydney A.
It's not exactly Indian food, but it's delicious and made with love. I ordered the Chicken Bayrani (sp?) and the goat Qua--? These names are a little difficult! It's rice with spices and goat meat. So good. The staff is friendly. Hole in the wall, great food, I highly recommend!!
(5)Nikki R.
This place is absolutely perfect! My hubby and I are always looking for good Indian food and this was a gem. Everything was delicious and the service was great
(5)Ray T.
Onion chutney is great. The "hot" is really spicy and they make their stuff from scratch.
(4)Saibu S.
I love this place. If you're ever there, order their Butter Chicken or the Chicken Tikka Masala. You'll not regret it. Although, keep in mind, if you are not used to having spicy food, you might find it a little too spicy. I suggest you ask the person taking care of you and go with their recommendation. Speaking of which, ask for Afrin: she is SO amazing, friendly, accommodating, and she really knows her stuff. They also have an assortment of Indian beers that you wouldn't find anywhere else. Parking is not an issue either. The only downside is the location: it's a little far away from South Beach, Brickell, and Downtown where I usually hangout. But if you take the trip, I'm sure you'll love it.
(5)Charu A.
We love this place. Naan is fresh and always delicious. Chili chicken is great. There is one waitress, Astrid, who goes out of her way to make sure we feel welcomed and taken care of. Prices are exceptional for the quality.
(5)N A.
I tried their lunch buffet and the food was decent and reasonably priced at $11.00 There were some dishes that could have been less dry like their red chicken. The two waitresses we saw barely smiled and seemed a little too shy (not the qualities you look for in a server) and didn't seem like they were happy to be there (maybe it was a cultural thing) when we sat down they both let us just sit there for 5 -10 minutes before acknowledging us.... their customer service is hit or miss. But the restaurant from what I could see was clean and the buffet area was attended well. Its quick and easy for lunch during the work week so I would recommend them for a quick lunch.
(3)Jennifer C.
I have been eating here for years. It's the best Indian food in town. Check out their lunch buffet to sample their amazing dishes.
(5)Juan K.
Great! I love this place..I remember coming here about 4 years ago to their lunch buffet to satisfy my co-workers and I, Indian food cravings. I came here about 3 nights ago and although they did not have the buffet, I must say their food is still good if not better than before! I ordered Chicken Tikka Masala and Butter Chicken with Garlic Naan. They were both delicious! I will definetely be coming here again as this is my number one pick for Indian food around this area.
(4)Michelle P.
This place is great! I've been there several times and I've never tried anything I didn't like... Rather, everything I've tried has been really wonderful. They have a ton of vegetarian (and vegan) options although the restaurant is not vegetarian by all means. They recently remodeled the place and it looks a lot better. It's not fancy or anything like that, but it's a quaint little Indian restaurant with really amazing food. I would definitely recommend going here, without a doubt!
(5)Shelley M.
Worst Indian I've ever eaten. Copper Chimney is 5 mins. from my job so I tried the lunch buffet. It was so awful I went back a second time because I couldn't believe it was that bad, I assumed they must have just had an off day the first time I went. But no, it really is just awful, bland food. Try Copper Chimney in North Miami Beach or Royal India in Ft. Laud.
(1)Cristina R.
The food was wonderful! Parking was easy and sufficient. Restaurant was clean and although small had a few patrons eating when we arrived. The waitress was nice and accommodating, a bit on the slow side as far as service, but not annoyingly so. We got the garlic Nnaan and aloo pakora as appetizers, both hot fresh and delicious! I got the coconut chicken (little to no spiciness), my mom got the eggplant bhatra (little to no spiciness), my dad got the lobster curry (mild), and my son the fried tilapia (medium). My chicken was really good, my dads was perfectly cooked and yummy bit too spicy for me. My son's was perfect, but the shining dish was surprisingly my mom's eggplant. I don't like eggplant but this was one was just too amazing! I would definitely return to this restaurant!
(4)Jarrod H.
I ordered takeout from this place and it was very good, I would definitely order again. I got the paneer masala and the butter chicken, Both were very tasty. The garlic, onion, and butter naan were all exceptional and were served hot. I also placed a huge order and they had it ready exactly when specified. Awesome!
(5)Samantha H.
Two stars sums it up. Grab take out if it's convenient. The food is fine, not amazing not awful. It will hit the spot if its all that's around. I don't suggest dining in-- there is only one waitress which inevitably leads to poor service. We were given only one glass of water each our whole visit and we didn't receive it until we had been seated for over half an hour.
(2)Gi S.
My star rating is based solely on the food, if your there for ambiance, decor or service, this is not the place for you! I was going to the Panya Thai restaurant next door but the place was closed for renovation. Kebab was pretty busy and I'm guessing it's because Panya was closed Vegetable Samosa's = delicious! Shrimp Vindaloo = OMG so good! Lamb Curry = great curry flavor but chinsy on the meat. All good portions and spiced just right. There was only 1 waitress and the manager working the tables. The waitress was off on another planet, couldn't get her attention if you got hit by a curry cart but the manager was really nice and as attentive as he could be for a restaurant full of people. Would definitely go back for the food. Mmmm Mmmm Good :0)
(4)Jesus R.
A few years ago this was arguably the best Indian spot around. The ownership, decor and food has changed. It's still good stuff, but this is no longer a place you plan a dinner around. It basically hits the Indian craving if you're nearby.
(3)Abdullah A.
Loved the food. We had Lamb Roghan Gosht with plain Nan. We, generally cook and eat pretty hot but we went with medium spice level and found it to be accurately calibrated to our to taste buds. Meaning their medium was our medium. They serve halal food, in case you're wondering about that. Will come again inshallah.
(5)Tony R.
This Indian restaurant remains reliably good and reasonable. Convenient parking directly in front or behind restaurant.

I avoid using clichés but one mantra kept bouncing around in my head after visiting Kebab, "Good things come to those who wait." I had just finished watching a Bollywood film, Devdas, that was over 3 hours long and I was inspired and hungry. I decided on 'Quebad' Indian Restaurant because it was a shorter drive and my go-to, Heelsha, didn't open for another hour. Here's why I should've waited -- Décor: Used to be quite charming with sari wrapped servers and hand-carved booths with silky curtains. Now it looks like it's been flooded to the ceiling by monsoon rains.Too casual and rundown to be charging $15-20 a plate. Menus: Seems like they were used to line a Bengal tiger's cage during a transatlantic voyage. Shortly after they arrived, a whole kindergarten math class practiced writing numbers on them. The frayed, stained menus are updated by scratching out old prices with pencil and writing in new ones. Classy. Restroom: The one part of an Indian restaurant that I don't want to be 'authentic' is the lavatory. It has the eye watering, nose blasting smell of an anti-moth genocide campaign. I don't know how I didn't step on 50 mothballs on my way from the urinal to the sink. After using the Candyman-esque bathroom, you don't want to eat, you want a Haz-Mat decontamination shower. Service: A note to the management, get rid of auto-tip. The staff behaves like South Asian reincarnations of Simon Cowell. Waited 15 minutes for water but, "Be careful what you wish for." It finally arrived with a splash! The server sprayed my face with so much water, I felt like R. Kelly's prom date. Mistakes happen, but then she just dropped some napkins on the table and shimmied away. I attempted to order just one dinner, but the server gave me a face like I offered to marry her ten year old daughter with a $5 bride price. I ordered two and here's what I got -- Chai (spiced milk tea), Mango Lassi (yogurt drink), Mulligatawny (curry-spiced vegetable soup), Onion Chutney (sweet-fiery salsa), Rayta (savory yogurt dip), Papadum (chickpea cracker), Puri (fried bread), Naan (flatbread), Samosa (veggie hot pocket), Aloo Pakora (cauliflower fritter), Mixed Hot Pickle (death by spice and sodium), Biryani (basmati rice, cashews, golden raisins and green peas), Chicken Tikka (vibrantly red roasted chicken) and Jamun Gulab (Thai donuts in honey syrup)! A Tandoori For One, included 90% of the aforementioned items, why did I need two? I would've taken the leftovers but there's a strict "no Indian or seafood" policy for the office microwave. The total was $35, I put in a $50 and didn't receive any change after waiting 10 minutes. I wasn't about to reward sub-par service with a 30% tip and went on a manhunt. I finally found her making a 'quick call'..on a cellphone..calling card in hand. I recommend Kebab, as long as it's to-go. The cooks are the only ones that know what's going on and I can't wait to try some of their other specialties. Until then I'll be praying to the goddess Kali to enact a terrible vengeance on the waitstaff.
(2)Jeffrey F.
I have been staring at this place for 20 years and finally decided to try it. Unfortunately for them, they are next door to the best Thai restaurant in South Florida, Panya Thai. I ate Thai a few days ago next door and finally decided to try this Indian restaurant that I have been looking at for so long. I tried to lunch buffet which was absolutely delicious. They had butter chicken on the birthday that was simply outstanding. All the food it was fresh, warm, and looks like it was made to order. The place was spotless, and had a great atmosphere. They also had chaana, daal, and the typical Indian fare. I highly recommend this restaurant for lunch.
(4)Michelle W.
So, let me preface this with it's really getting a 2 stars for the buffet. It had a lack of variety that I'm accustomed to with India buffets & they didn't even have samosas out!!! What is that??? Anyhow, I don't eat meat & most of the options they had out were chicken.... so that was kind of a bummer. The lentil dish that I had was quite excellent with the naan. I didn't care for the rice at all. It was very buttery & greasy, not the usual saffron or white rice you normally get at Indian restaurants. They also did have a veggie soup that was quite good. It had a really nice kick to it. So, I don't recommend going for the buffet unless you eat meat.... I do want to go back and order off the menu to see if I can upgrade them, because other than the rice, the food I ate was decent.
(2)Carmen D.
Blah as to the flavors of all the curries I tried in the buffet. Very subpar and lacking in so many levels. The lentil soup was good only redeeming factor. Sorry not a fan.
(2)Marcelo F.
There was an extremely long wait for the food. There were two parties so not sure if this is the norm. Not sure if the food was really that great or just that i was that hungry from the wait.. Will have to wait till i eat here again to give a more fair judgement
(4)Christine P.
Tired of doing rushed lunches on weekends in between errands... so decided to finally check out one of the spots I drive by all the time. Indian has always been high on my list... but it needed to be with someone who knows what they're doing, since I'm a novice at Indian cuisine. Place was empty when we got there... which was a bit worrisome... but they quickly changed my mind. Now I wish I could tell you what we ordered... but I wasn't the one doing the ordering. It's hard for me to order at these places because I do.not.like.spicy.food. Go ahead and judge, but my taste buds just can't handle it. We started out with a variety of sauces and some kind of pita/chip/bread to dip it in. The challenge of finding something mild, but delicious for my main dish was met by a involving chicken, pineapple and almonds. Prices weren't bad... and service wasn't either (I would hope not - there was only one other table being served by the time we left).
(3)Vero S.
If I could give "0 " starts I would, people I took my boyfriend to this "place" 2 days ago and OMG, I want it to use the bathroom so I open the door and there was a HUGE ROACH ,looking at me , so disgusting, I immediately told the waitress that look like she didn't shower in days!!! I came outside and told her and she said I'm sorry and LAUGH.. My bf was so upset:( please be careful and don't waste your time driving there.
(1)Vanessa P.
Giving it three stars, which is pushing it since the service was pretty horrible. Food was excellent, but our waitress was far from courteous as mentioned below. I would've understood if we were there during a weekend and it was packed, but it was a Wednesday night, and only two other couples were inside with us. Took almost 10 minutes until they took our drink order, and when the food did finally arrive, we had to wait an extra 5 minutes for our rice. I'm guessing the lack of good service is due to the fact that they automatically add 15% tip to every check. I normally tip 20% as long as the service is good, so they kinda lost out on that in my opinion. If we do ever decide on this place, we'll probably just order take-out.
(3)Joe R.
This place NEVER lets me down!!!! The dinner special is well worth it if you want a nice variety of appetizers, curries, and meats. It also includes amazing dessert!! Took my nieces who had never tried Indian....they loved it!
(5)S B.
Previously gave this place a great review but feel it very necessary to give an update. We dined here for a third time tonight ordering dishes we've had here before and it was as if we were at a different restaurant. The chicken tikka masala wasn't as good as a package preparation you can buy in a grocery store and the lamb curry was thin and watered down tasting. Our empty dishes sat for ages on table while we waited for our included dessert and watched our waitress texting endlessly in the back of the restaurant. Definitely not consistent in food or service.
(1)Mariela D.
I am an Indian food snob. Its sad and true. Growing up, I had a friend named Farah, who is Indian and whose wonderful and blessed mother and grandmother, would cook for us rag tag bunch of teenagers. Ever since, that has been the rubric I have held for Indian food. Now this place, it has come so close that I am tickled pink by their skills! We had no clue what the heck we were going to order and the lovely waitress explained all the dishes we asked about thoroughly. Now let me just say, they have the most amazing Na'an bread (did I massacre that spelling?) Its fresh and smells so yummy! We spread the garlic butter on it and it was divine! And let me tell you..the food....AHHHHHHHH! So glorious. Sigh. They made mine mild and my boyfriends spicy enough that he was sweating in his 'britches' ! The jasmine rice was perfection. The dishes which I have zero clue what they are called, made our mouths water just looking at them and rightly so since they were amazing. Ok so why did I give them less then perfect, well for a sit down place it was shabby looking. It looked like it belonged in a cheap B rate 70 movie. Also they seem to cater out and the people from the catering business kept coming in on their phones being loud and just obnoxious if you as me. Walked around like they owned the place and you could tell that the patrons were uncomfortable. It took away from the experience for us. They need to do that in a different way so as to not put off the customers.
(4)Natalie M.
The garlic naan and parathas are delicious! For my main meal I had the vegetarian dinner plate for $20-- this may seem pricey but for the amount of food and the taste, its totally worth it. Rice, two dishes,three appetizer samplers, soup,bread, three dressings and a dessert honey ball. Not to mention its actually pretty good indian food for south florida. I would have liked no peas or corn in my rice though, so if you order make sure to ask for plain rice with your meal.
(4)Tough C.
The decor of this restaurant may need a little upgrading. But the food is very good. I have tried their lunch buffet, which is fabulous, and their dinner menu is just as good. The staff is friendly and very helpful. If you are in the mood for something different and an eclectic palette of flavors and spices, give Kebab a try. You will not be disappointed.
(3)Rick V.
The only reason I gave them a 4 is the interior has been changed from cosey booths and tables to just tables. Lost a lot of atmosphere. We are long time customers (since early 80's) and have eaten Indian food at many places in the US. We have always gone just for dinner. All the different dishes we have had were excellent. We have taken friends that said the same. Our favorite dinner is the "Kebab Indian dinner for 2". It includes soup. appetizers, 2 main dishes, dessert and tea or coffee prepared to your personal spicy taste.
(4)Jay P.
I love coming here! I come here every now and again. If I order take out or I decide to eat in I always feel satisfied, especially with the price. I love how they have a lot of vegetarian options too.
(4)George M.
Decided to make it an India night out by first having some Kebab and then watching Slumdog Millionaire @ Sunset Cinemas wit some friends. Much like Jennifer, this was also my first time doing Indian but it won't be my last. We ordered a bunch of different stuff and kind of shared it so I got to try a lot. There was not one item that wasn't delicious. We started with Nan (bread) Leavened bread of fine flavor, baked in tandoor w/ butter $3.50 Garlic Nan (bread) Leavened bread of fine flavor, baked in tandoor w/ garlic butter $3.95. On the table we had Chicken Tikka Masala, Boneless chicken pieces cooked w/ cream, fresh tomato sauce, onions, green peppers and indian spices. $15.95 Lamb Biryani Tender pieces of lamb cooked w/ rice, nuts and spice flavored sauce. $15.95 Palak Panir Spinach and homemade cheese w/ a little curry sauce. $11.95 Aloo Gobhi Cauliflower, potatoes and green peas cooked w/ herbs and spices. $11.95 The service was attentive. I never had to ask for a refill of my water and thats great 'cause it can get spicy. The only reason that it doesn't get a fifth star is that I thought it was a bit pricey but then again I really don't have anything to compare it to.
(4)Damien M.
I've been eating at this Indian restaurant since I moved to Miami more than 10 years ago. The dish I enjoy the most is chicken shahi korma with rice pillaw and plain nan. Other items on the menu including the mango lassi are tasty as well. The authentic service with a smile is always something I count on when visiting. The decor, music and staff remind you that you're in an Indian restaurant which is great, but the overall feel of the restaurant is a little bit cold. This is the best Indian restaurant in Miami and Fort Lauderdale.
(5)Jennifer R.
This was my first rendezvous with Indian cuisine and how lovely it was. I have been dying to try Indian food for weeks but something always came up. By coincident, the friends we were having dinner with last suggested Indian food and I jumped on the idea of going to Kebab. Kebab is small, not fancy, moms and pops family joint. The dining room is decorated with Indian arts and they play very soothing Indian music in the background. Between the 4 of us, the Kebab dinner for two, 2 other entrees and garlic nan. The food was excellent and the wait staff was courteous, it was a great 1st time experience with Indian food and I will definitely go back for more.
(4)Ahsen Q.
You call this Indian food? Are you kidding me nothing here is Indian. Yelpers, you are dead wrong at saying this placing is "great". The food was horrible. Definitely...Definitely, NOT indian food. Bangalidishi perhaps...
(1)Catherine A.
This place is decent for Indian and I've been there several times. It's worth trying but it's not going to be the best indian food you've ever tried.
(3)San R.
Loud wait staff yelling at each other in the kitchen, complete lack of ambiance and servers who cannot fathom requests beyond knowing the names of the dishes on the menu. The including of the gratuity on the bill is a warning sign from the get-go.
(1)Joseluis A.
ive seen this restaurant so many times and never actually been in, until the other night i decided to stop by for dinner. i was in the area with my friend john. we walked in and got seated immediately. this place smelled so good, so i knew right away that i had made a good choice in coming in. service took a while, for everything, for our menus, for our drinks...for them to take the order. but everything we ordered was delicious. vegetable samosas and aloo pakora. great stuff, tasty and spiced to perfection. then we shared a chicken masala and the vegetable biryani (rice cooked with onion, tomatoes, mixed vegetables and nuts), of course some naan bread and cucumber rayta. what a delicious dinner. next time, ill order medium spicy instead of mild. i just wasnt sure what 'spicy' meant for the waitress ...i think i can handle medium. i will definitely go back to this place and i highly recommend it to those who enjoy the north indian cuisine. oh yeah, we finished almost everything (some naan and rice leftover) and paid less than 50$ including tip. awesome!
(4)Rob C.
pretty good for a 10.99 lunch buffet. decent naan, butter chicken, tandoori, pumpkin dish, etc. come here for that if you're gonna check it out.
(4)
