We always leave with leftovers because we want to indulge ourselves again the next day; it never disappoints. I have heard people say they don't like Indian food, which I don't understand.

Guests can choose their preferred protein, sauce, and spice level, as well as enjoy a selection of beer, wine, and Indian Sula wines. We visited during lunchtime and partook of their lunch specials, featuring generous portions and a decent variety. I enjoyed Goat Vindaloo while wife was milder with Seafood Korma. I asked for spicy and received their level 5 (1-5). It was good, flavors and seasoning were excellent, but for truly spicy you need to ask for "True Indian Level" they are used to a bunch of Americans with tender palates! The staff is friendly and helpful with recommendations, and although the place was busy, we never felt rushed. The restaurant's clean and inviting environment adds to the positive experience. We saw a few dishes that others had ordered from the regular menu, and they looked ample and generous. So, although it seems a little pricey, it is not a bad value.

Lamb kabob was also bursting with flavor but we thought the serving size was small. The falafel plate was very good. Everything was so flavorful and we really enjoyed the food. The owner was very nice. Since we shared the food, we would have appreciated if we were also given an extra plate; nevertheless, we were starving so it was alright. Would definitely come back!

While my order was getting ready in front of me, I had a chance to go around andexplore around. It was a super spacious restaurant with two levels of seating areas. Very bright and surprisingly guarded from the noisy traffic, it was a great spot for a quiet lunch. Food & service: My order of Kebab & fries served with Naan, Tzatziki sauce and Afghani salad was made to order and tasted very juicy and flavorful. Spiced perfectly and the right portion size for 1 person, every bite of the freshly made naan and kabob was perfection. My server was so courteous and attentive and he prepared my food in less than 20 minutes.

We ordered the buffet then noticed most of the fountain drinks had no syrup or just pure syrup. So filling up a few of the micro 3oz cups with the one fountain drink that was working, we head to the buffet. The curry chicken was nothing but bones and sauce, same with the goat curry. Nan bread was gone and rice available was minimal. Vegetables seemed to been cooking since lunch and were either goo or dried up. Never again for us.

My esteemed husband lived in the RVA about 7-10 years ago, he and his family swear by their biryani. My husband is a born and raised native of Mumbai, India who attended Cooking and Hotel Management School. Needless to say, he loves to cook and is picky about his food. He makes a fabulous biryani himself, which he is always trying to perfect. He absolutely adores and loves the food at Kabab House. The flavor is incredible, it is rich in delicious seasonings. The price is totally worth the value and the best part of all, the portions are huge. I'd say this place is a hidden gem of the RVA, if you love tasty Indian Food this is the place for you.

Parking on a Thursday evening was still available around 8 o'clock in the parking lot across the street. I applauded the atmosphere and decor in my first review; it remains beautiful and refined. The service is formal and timely; the staff observant and accommodating. During this dining experience, we noticed that the protein and sauce (e.g., Mango) were watered down compared to our first visit. We expected the thick, creamy sauce, bursting with chicken and flavor that we had come to expect, but what we got this time was watery and plain disappointing. The appetizer, the naan and breads, were the same high quality, but the sauce sealed it for us. I hope that this was simply a fluke or a bad night in the kitchen, not a recurring theme at Tulsi. It is hard to recommend Tulsi after our most recent experience, only because other Indian restaurants nearby serve the most exquisite food.
