My partner and I do weekly take-out from here because Indian is definitely one of our go- to favorite cravings. We could be considered hardcore Indian connoisseurs. I'm thinking we average about 2-3 pick-ups a month and supplement with take-out from Tandoori Grill as well. It is just a longer drive for us to go to south Boulder than Curry n Kebob's central location. We noticed that the food could be a little inconsistent but for the past few months it has really stepped up front & center and been consistently delicious! We usually get the chicken kebob and the bharta baingan (eggplant), both medium-spiced. We also get an order of regular and garlic naan. The naan recently has been absolutely perfect! Thick, doughy and soft. The eggplant and chicken kebob both have a great spice and flavor profile and I love the raw spice soaked onion that comes with the kebob. The chicken kebob has some incredibly strong spices on it..and it is tastes amazing but if you want something more mild, then I would suggest ordering something else. I must disclose, that I have not tried more of the menu offerings because the kebob and eggplant are so good that there is really no need to deviate. The atmosphere is fast casual which I think works best for take-out. The prices are also very reasonable and much appreciated! Curry n Kebob is a great addition to the Indian dining scene of Boulder. Would love to see them lose the styrofoam and have more green/compostable to-go food containers. If that adds an extra .25 per entree, I am happy to pay it to not have to interact with and perpetuate the use of styrofoam. read more

Great food at an awesome value. The lunch special was the best $8 I've spent in a while. Service was good. Atmosphere isn't the greatest being a hole in the wall fast casual concept, but appears to be family owned and operated so they have a vested interest in customer satisfaction. Garlic Naan was awesome. Chicken Kebab's were great, with nice heat. Chicken Saab was delicious and flavorful. Lamb masala was very good but could have been spicier (I ordered hot, but Kebabs were hotter. Could have accidentally swapped the heat preference during the order by mistake). I would definitely come back here again. Don't forget to check-in on Yelp for a discount on every other check-in! read more

Chana Masala was flavorful, with the chickpeas not overcooked. Offered coconut milk instead of dairy cream for $1 more. Although... that's all I ate and enjoyed. White rice, brown not available. "Too busy" was the excuse that they couldn't make roti. Consequently, the white naan was left on my plate as a tribute to lack of customer satisfaction! Dal soup was mainly broth, but flavor OK. Desert looked like canned fruit cocktail with a sauce: DID NOT TOUCH! If overcrowded, fast-foodish, and noisy is your game, run on in. I'm running elsewhere. read more

Have revisited a couple times since a singlw bad experience regarding the friendliness and quality and am re-impressed so updating the review. Changing review back to 5 stars from 3. read more

ordered chix tikka masala, rice was overcooked and lot of crumbles, chix itself was not bad

I love this place! Everything I have had is delicious! And to that how inexpensive their food is (for Boulder, that is) and you have a winner. The only potential down side is that they take 45min to an hour to deliver. But that just makes me really enjoy it when it arrives :) read more

I am so so incredibly happy! A long time ago, I used to work at an Indian restaurant, and keema mutter was oneof my favorite things. We ate here today because I was hungry, it was close, and I saw "keema" on the menu. So very delicious, and fast too! And they had duck and goat on the menu. Lunch can be had for as little as $7.95. I could not be more pleased. read more

We love this restaurant. The thali price is reasonable and there's a ton of food. I wish they'd updated their prices online cuz they're charging an extra dollar for both lunch and dinner specials. Which isn't much but still. We always order the chicken tikka masala and the chicken kebabs and they taste just amazing! On our last visit we ordered saag paneer cuz I just loveee saag paneer but I didn't exactly like the look of it. The taste was just fine too. Usually saag paneer has pastey spinach with small cubes of cheese but the look of their dish was not the same. We brought that dish back home and I fixed it up the way that we like it with some more added salt and spices and it turned out perfect. read more

I've been here with my friends a few times, but I recently brought my mother along with me as she'd never eaten here before. After proclaiming that it was "the best Indian food she's ever had", she tucked the two leftover naan from her meal that she was too full to finish into her bag and snacked on them the entire drive home. And I have to concur. This place is so good you'll want to savor every last drop. The Bollywood videos that play in the background also give a cool vibe to the place. I will be returning. read more

My coworkers and I regularly go here for lunch, and it's a great place. The food is fresh and flavorful, and there is a good variety. You can get rice pudding instead of the canned pineapple as a dessert, so ask for it if you're into that. The spice levels vary drastically, with the extra hot having never been more than a medium in my opinion, and the naan is a bit on the balloons side, but the portions are decent and the price isn't bad (although I do think they've raised it recently). It's a solid option for lunch, although they can sometimes get swamped so plan accordingly. read more

I hadn't been to Curry n Kebob in a long time. Was in the area and thought I'd give it a try. Very disappointing. My kebob had no flavor. The naan was not homemade and looked like what comes in the frozen section of the market. It was so bad my son didn't even take home the pieces he didn't finish- a first for him. His chicken tikka masala was 'different but not bad'. Won't go back. Too many other choices in Boulder. read more

This place lifts my soul into the clouds every time I go! I'm dumbfounded that a place so rare and precious could be in Boulder, right next to my home. It's cheap, delicious food with views of the Rockies. I mean, isn't that the agreed upon trifecta of awesome?! I think so. The food is incredible in it's simplicity. The naan is doughy (not sure that's traditional style but my American stomach loves it!), the rice isn't dry and the vindaloo dishes are so flavorful! Did I mention their lamb cooking skills? I seriously don't know how they pull it off. This is my go-to lunch spot and I thank my lucky stars that this place resides in the last place I would expect. Big shoutout to Zuned and family! read more

Nice casual Indian restaurant where the old 8 Islands used to be. I just stopped by here last night and tried out the following items: - naan & garlic naan: regular naan was a bit doughy, garlic naan had good flavor - chicken tikka kebab: cooked well, seasoned well, very tasty! - bhindi masala: seasoned well, although i would prefer more tomatoes - chana masala: very spicy, good seasoning, tasty, but cream based (which is not really my cup of tea) Service was friendly and attentive. Prices are reasonable, and IMHO I'd rather come here than most of the other sit-down Indian restaurants in the area. read more

We there on a whim and so happy I did! I ordered the Chicken Masala and it was sooo yummy. It was also their dinner special. The naan and rice were so good. They give you quite a bit and it makes for a great lunch the next day. The actual restaurant has a fast food vibe. I do not want to say its a dive because its super clean but its bright and kinda cold. The food is delicious though and if you live in the area they deliver. read more

I really love the food at this place so much that I'm not even taking away a star for lack of ambiance. Who cares what it looks like when the food is this good?! I'm picky when it comes to Indian cuisine, and I can honestly say that the Tikka Masala, Korma, and Tandori chicken are amazing and amongst the best I've ever had, if not the best. Also, the family that owns it are the nicest people. They are the kind of people you want to see succeed. Good food that comes from good people...I love that. read more

I'm still madly in restaurant love with Curry N Kebob. Probably my favorite place to eat in Boulder because of price and taste. On average, we go three times a month, sometimes more. Owners are super friendly and know us by now. Whenever we (my guy and I) go, whether for lunch or for dinner, we split the chicken makhni or the chicken tikka masala (whatever is on special). They give you a big silver platter that comes with a generous portion of chicken with heavenly sauce, lots of rice, delicious naan bread, a deep-fried onion tumbleweed, and a small cup of the dessert of the day. We buy extra rice and naan, since we split the platter. It's an extremely superb meal -- for $12ish (counting tip)! That's $6.00 per person ... amazing price, particularly for how good the food is. If you want to go it alone, Lunch special is only $7.95 ... and I believe dinner is $9.95?? Either way. It's cheap. Cheap is good. If you are reading this review, and you're on the fence about going, my input is this: absolutely. Get off your butt and go eat some of the most delicious food in Boulder. And if you like spicy, ask for "hot" -- mmmm! read more

Pro's - very best Indian food in Boulder! Con's - have had goat or human hair in my meal 3 times now (just unpleasant) read more

We stopped here on our way to Estes Park, and I am so glad we did!!! At first I was a little sceptical because I didn't see anyone South Asian eating here, so I wasn't sure if the food would be authentic or if it would be whitewashed lol. They have daily specials that come in a thali (silver plate that comes with naan, rice, pakora, and fruits), and then regular menu items also. We ordered 2 thalis: 1 chicken Tikka masala and 1 chicken jalfrezi. You can tell them how spicy you want it, and I chose for both of them to be hot. The chicken Tikka masala was amazing. The chicken jalfrezi was a chicken curry with chickpeas (it was almost like spicy chole with chicken pieces added), but it was tasty! The rice, naan, and onion pakora were all very fresh and delicious. The portion and quality of food was AMAZING for the $11.95 per thali. We also ordered a lamb korma from the regular menu and it was so delicious! The korma sauce was so rich and flavorful, and the hot spice level was perfect for us. This was served with only rice. It's a family owned joint, and I'm pretty sure the owners are Nepali. Service was good and the place was clean and had a welcoming atmosphere. If I'm ever back in Boulder, I'll definitely stop by again! read more

Curry N Kebob - Indian Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Who would have thought - the most modest looking restaurant with the best & authentic Indian food in Boulder! Dine in, and have the dine in special. Owners are friendly and service is sufficient. If you need anything, just ask. They just took over and renovated the space next door, so no more having trouble finding seats.... or will there? This place is definitely getting more popular by the day compared to not even a year ago. read more

Oh lord. Horrible food. I cant even start to explain where to begin. Me n ma frnds went to this restaurant after a tiresome day. N ordered chicken soup n chicken curry... Chicken soup was given to us in a bowl, half the bowl was oil... N chicken curry - it was horrible. Chicken pieces in sambar my frnd ate just rice without curry as he was very hungry where in the world is this indian cuisine please avoid this place... Please do... I gave one start as i cannot give 0 stars... read more

Curry N Kebob - Soup in the oil .. Dont think i dont know english.. It is soup in the oil - Indian Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

I was excited to come here after reading all these reviews. Unfortunately my experience was less than I had hoped. My paneer masala was very runny, my rice was undercooked, and my naan and masala were both BURIED in cilantro. It's a very overwhelming herb, so it did take away from the overall dish for me. The place was very busy, so we had to wait for a seat (lunch rush), and there aren't a lot of seating options -- so be prepared for that. Overall, I've had better. But the prices here are great and from what I saw their daily lunch specials are nicely priced as well. read more

So, how this place has such good reviews, I don't know. Food was mediocre, at best, The service was awful, the place was dirty.. what appeared to be the owner, made it a very uncomfortable experience. I will never eat here again. YUCK! The owner sent me a very sarcastically rude message after leaving this review. What a jack wagon! read more

I have never been a fan of indian food that is until I tried Curry n' Kabob. The food is hands down AMAZING and AFFORDABLE! The owners/staff were extremely friendly and actually seem sincerely happy. Overall, Curry n' Kabob has single handedly made me like Indian food. I highly recommend that you visit this hidden gem!!!! read more

For their lunch or dinner special, Curry n Kebob's Chicken Masala is unbeatable. Probably the Chicken Masala anywhere. And when it's all said and done, you're out the door for less than $10 (completely stuffed). The rice, naan bread, and the friend onion are all incredible. On the right day you'll get a yogurt with cinnamon for dessert, but usually it'll just be canned fruit. Seven day a week, the owner is always there, which is very cool to see. Don't forget that they close between lunch and dinner. read more

Unreal Indian food. For my money, the Chicken Makhani (buttered chicken) is the star. If you've never had this delicious Indian dish, prepare to have your life changed. Think a spiced up version of tomato basil soup with delicious tender chicken inside, all served with amazingly soft naan bread, delicious condiments, fried onions, and perfectly cooked basmati rice. And then there's the value. At $8 for the lunch special, you'll get enough food to feed two normal humans or one competitive eater. This place is as good as it gets, and the sort of perfectly done unique food you'll be craving again and again. read more

Good Indian food is hard to find in Colorado but Curry n Kebob does a terrific job. Absolutely love their dinner and lunch specials with the thali concept. Very reasonable price for a TON of food. My family ordered the chicken jalfrezi, chicken kebob, Chana, and the korma, as well as some chai and mango lassi. All were phenomenal and had great flavor. Love the fast casual concept of ordering up front and sitting down. Lots of seating room and great ambiance! read more

What is there to say about Curry and Kabob that hasn't already been said? My partner adores this place, so it's a shock when I realize that we don't swing by nearly enough. The prices are reasonable the service is quick - both in the restaurant and via delivery. The food is always fresh and the prices are stellar. To my vegetarian comrades, I strongly recommend the veggie samosas. They always hit the spot no matter my mood. But do know that the saag paneer, chana masala, and vegetable korma will not disappoint! Or, you can trust your gut and go with their daily veggie special. In the end, you can't go wrong at Curry n Kebob. read more

I love Curry-n-Kebob! I usually judge an Indian restaurant on the quality of their tikka masala and this place rocks! The service is always friendly, the food is always quick and tastes are awesome. I could drink their tikka masala sauce, it is that good! This place isn't fancy, but is perfect for takeout or a quick bite. read more

This place has expanded over the last year due to how amazing the food is. The lunch specials (especially the vegetarian curries) are very flavorful and they give you generous portions of rice and naan. The eggplant curry with peas gets me very time! They've also renovated quite a bit and the service has improved! read more

My wife loves Indian cuisine and she said that she hasn't had it in a long long time so I went searching for a place to take her for her bday. She was stuck between this place or another that we found that served alcohol. Yelp helped to make the final decision and we decided to go here purely because of all the positive reviews. We pulled up just before 7pm and the place was packed! We walked up to the door but didn't see any place to sit inside and started to have second thoughts about eating here. Just as we were walking out the door, 2 tables opened and we made a bee line to a booth. We grabbed some menu's and within seconds the booth was clean and a waiter was asking us if we had any questions about the menu or the daily specials. We put in our order and watched as the people streamed in and out of the door. Our wait for the food was between 15-20 min, which was impressive for having something made to order. I can't say that I've ever been a big fan of Indian food, but after eating here, I definitely am now. The curry's spice was made to my specifications, the temp of the food was piping hot, the naan was better than naan should be and the portions were generous. We were so impressed with the food, we put a order in for a couple of entree's to go so we could have them for dinner the next day. So, are there any downsides? It's not the price. You can get a helluva meal for just over $10 (including tip) out the door. The only downside that comes to mind is the lack of seating. The place is small, but that must be just to keep all of that flavor locked up inside. read more

OK, we've been here about a dozen more times, and several of the dishes are excellent - you just have to know what to get. In general, the vegetarian entrees are all spectacular: Saag Paneer, Bharta Makhni, Chana Masala, Malai Kofta, etc. Whenever we order chicken it is usually a bit dry and overcooked (in Chicken Tikki Masala). The naan is just mediocre - it is a bit on the dry side and not that flavorful, but it's not bad. The daal soup is very disappointing - the daal at Gurkhas has a lot more flavors (cilantro, garlic, spice). It is always crowded but the service tends to be pretty efficient which is the opposite of the norm for restaurants of this cuisine! The service is also a bit curt and not that friendly but they're not rude either and they're just trying to get through all the orders. I've tried every Indian/Nepalese restaurant in Boulder, and overall Curry N Kebob is one of the top four places, along with Gurkha's, Tiffin's, and Nepal Cuisine. read more

My wife and I came in from Denver to take our friend out for his birthday and he suggested Curry n Kebob. It was Sunday and we got there at 2:20, just as they were about to close. They said they could seat us if we could order right away. We decided on lamb curry, goat biryani, and channa saag. It was all excellent! The channa saag came with two onion bhajii and naan. The channa didn't taste like they'd come from a can, and the spinach was leafy, not chopped or frozen. The lamb curry had a smoky spice to it. The goat biryani had carmelized onions, raisins, and almonds, and was very flavorful, but I'm wishing I'd ordered the goat Vindaloo instead. The food was excellent. The place is clean and sunny, without a lot of the usual trappings of a dark, Indian restaurant. The people who waited on us were Nepalese. I have to say, that it was some of the best Indian food I've had outside of India. It was fresh tasting and filling, and came with an assortment of chutneys (and raita for the biryani). The price of the meal for three people was around $45. No alcohol is served, but the food is great and the service is excellent. I'd eat here again in an Uttar Pradesh heartbeat! read more

After they expanded, we went back to Curry N Kebob, and it's become our go-to for Indian food in Boulder. The food is delish, the larger restaurant more accommodating to our kids, and the staff and service have improved. While we normally order Chicken Masala for the kids and Chicken Kebob for my hubby, I order off the menu. Their vegetable korma is the best I've ever had anywhere, and the Ceylone vegetables is a delicious, vegan treat. read more

I think that I have written a review in the past, when the quality of their food was better. Frankly it is has declined and I'm disappointed. More precisely, the quality of the food is not consistent. Sometimes it can be like it used to be, but more often it is worse. I used to go here often, but now it's 3 - 4 months between visits and even then it is only because my wife wants to go. I hate to see a local business go downhill like this, but it happens and can be fatal in such a highly competitive restaurant market as Boulder. The owner posted an ad on Facebook to lament the negative reviews that he has been receiving lately. Instead of doing that, he should listen to the feedback from his customers and do what is needed to bring the quality back to what it used to be. Instead, he just sits in at a table in a corner and ignores the customers. Based on what he said in his Facebook ad, it seems that he refuses to believe what his customers are telling him and he won't talk with them in the restaurant. read more

Best value and taste for Indian food in Boulder.

You would think good indian food in boulder would be easy to find, but it's turned out to be quite a challenge. Wedged between dominoes and a nail salon in a strip mall, you wouldn't expect CnK to be impressive. But it is. Great family owned indian place with some of the best basmati rice I've ever had. I did a sit down dinner, ordering a special meal with a lassi. Everything was fresh, and the pakora plum sauce tasted homemade. Pros: - Cheap (solid meal under or around $10) - Fast (sitting down, I had my plate in less than 10 minutes) - Delicious - Good enough that other Indian folks were eating there. (As a white girl, I can't say it tasted like mom's, but it looked like some other patrons could have.) Cons: - Atmosphere (Still looks like a strip mall joint. Not dressed up at all.) - Not super GF friendly (If you know how to order you'll be fine. However, the owner was pretty taken aback that I couldn't eat naan. I know. It's a travesty. But some of us have to make sacrifices to fight the good (gut) fight.) read more

Edit again: 9/21/12 (hopefully the last edit) The owners made a supreme effort to "make things right" after the series of weird events that I originally documented below. Whatever the case, they've convinced me entirely that the situations were a fluke--and I was surprised by how sincere they seemed in making me feel truly like a valued customer. They've earned my loyalty. Original Review: So, I've mostly positive feelings about this place. I wanted to give this a 4 star maybe 5 star rating except for the negative experience described below. (edited from 3 star. Explained at the bottom) The food is astonishingly good. It's flavorful and, me being gluten and dairy free, it's becoming my boulder fallback food-stop. Even for those not gluten/dairy free, it's fantastic based on the responses from all my friends. I've been introducing the place to as many people as I can purely out of selfishness--just to have an excuse to come back. Lamb malaya ftw. The prices are decent, and the service generally good. The reason I can't give the 4/5 stars is not because of any negative experience with the food, but with one particularly...uncomfortable service experience. Basically, I walked in and the place was packed except for the strip of tables in the middle of the room. I was eating in, so I sat down in the corner of the only available table of 6(separate-able tables, nonetheless). The lady, owner or worker I don't know, walked up to me and was terribly concerned. She asked me if I was alone. I said, "Yes." She was like, "no no no." She waved at the table like I hadn't realized that there were 6 seats here, and I was one. She could have just separated the tables? Anyway, she did it again. She told me I couldn't sit there. So I asked her, "Where do you want me to sit, then?" As if just realizing I had no other place to sit, she looked around--and found a seat for me. With 2 other people. In the restaurant booths. They were fine with it; I was uncomfortable, but what the heck. Anyway, about 10 minutes pass and no one serves me. The other booth occupants leave, and only then does the server realize that I'm not part of the other party. He was very apologetic, but IMHO, it was their responsibility after my treatment to make sure that I was served. Since, I've come back several times. I brought friends the next time. Six, to be exact, and I did have some mild feelings as she had to confirm that I indeed had 6 people coming to the table. This was enough for me to knock this down another star. I mean, if I'm supporting their business so much by coming several times a week, and bringing all my friends, you'd think she'd smile at me like she was happy I was there--even if she isn't? So, to sum up. Great food. Good service, usually. Eat here anyway. Cheers! Edit: 9/19/12 I don't know if I'm lucky or what, but since I posted this review roughly a day ago, 1 more positive and 1 more negative event occurred. Positive: I was e-mailed by the online marketing rep for the restaurant. Apparently they read the review and felt bad for my experience. They offered me a meal on the house. With that response, I was ready to return the rating to a 5 star immediately, and I didn't even plan on redeeming the offer since I do like supporting small businesses that are trying. But... Negative: I went in today and met up with some friends. Unfortunately, no food showed for 25 minutes, and we inquired. Apparently, the ticket was lost. My friends were on a time crunch, so they asked for their order to be taken to-go instead. About 10-15 minutes later, they were told that the order was "being made right now." Why the dish wasn't prioritized immediately, I can't say. Anyway, I encouraged my friends to stay even though they were running late, just a couple more minutes. They received their food and when no bill came with it, I offered to take care of it in case it wasn't on-the-house as could be implied by the lack of bill coming with the to-go order. Based on the 45 minutes total of wait time, I thought it was reasonable. When the bill came, their order wasn't listed--again, making me feel as if the restaurant was working well on the customer service. But, just to be sure, I inquired. And nope, it was an oversight. I ended up footing the full bill for my friends as well as my order. Not to say that I expected anything, or that I do expect anything further for this event, but I'm pretty certain that based on my experiences, mistakes are common at this restaurant on the customer service side of things. That being said--good intentioned people. I'm changing my rating to 4 out of 5, but I can't give it a 5 out of 5 as I would have loved to. read more

If you like great curry and kebobs, then you have to come here. This restaurant puts Indian cuisine on the map for Colorado. My favorite lunch spot in Boulder. I gotta have it each time I visit. Today's Special #3. Chicken Kebob (tandoori chicken cubes tossed in a light tomato sauce with onions and bell peppers). Mild. The naan was a bit undercooked. Seemed thick and doughy. The iced Chai was good. A little on the bland side and the portion was small. Service is great. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. read more

Wow! Went here for lunch today. $8.95 lunch gets you so much food! And so much flavor. This place is a gem. I had the chicken kabob cooked with red bell pepper in a light creamy tomato sauce. So flavorful and tender. Seemed like I got 2 whole chickens breasts worth of chicken! My son got the Mushroom Mutter, a vegetarian curry dish. Each lunch special came with plenty of naan, rice, fried onion ring, and pineapple. I'm definitely coming back. read more

Forgot my wallet, and they bought my lunch! Always an inviting atmosphere and the consistency in the food is great! Thank you Curry n Kebob for lunch read more
