This is hands down my favorite place in Boulder to eat for lunch! Their lunch specials are fantastic! It's not authentically spicy like I had hoped when I heard it was 5 star rated but the flavors are always spot on. Spices are fresh and vibrant. I typically going with the Chicken Mahkini and get it extra extra hot but most of my co-workers are content with medium. Depends on your preference. All the lunch dishes come with rice, a small thing of candied fruit as a palette cleanser and a fried onion fritter. I don't like onions but that fritter is incredible. And did I forget to mention the naan? Good god the naan bread is some of the best I've had. Fresh from the oven every time. This is a MUST TRY if you live here or are in the area! read more

Wow. After eating here for the first time, I ended up going back 4 more times in a two week span. I haven't had much experience with Indian food, so I wasn't sure what to expect at first. This place has set the bar very high for my experience with Indian restaurants. The chana masala lunch special was mouth watering good! Each time I go there, I can't stop eating because the food is so tasty and flavorful, so I walk away over-stuffed and completely satisfied. The service is extremely fast, pleasant and polite. There are really cool decorations, tapestries, and artwork on the walls. The dining area is very clean and the workers in dining area are always on their toes when a table gets up. I highly recommend Curry and Kebab to anyone, especially those who have yet to experience Indian food. read more

If you are looking for Indian food that is quick and easy to obtain, Curry N Kebob is a great place. Flavor wise it's "ok" but is a good value considering the "fast service" style cuisine offered. Do not expect very rich, highly complex dishes, but you can expect decent food, quickly. The sauces are not very thick, the rice is plain, and even though I ordered it spicy, it was less spicy than a few dashes of Tobasco. Given all of that, it's still a nice option for a quick meal.

For fast casual this place is really good. Good prices, family restaurant and really tasty. I will be back to try more dishes. For more sit down oriented I recommend royal clay. read more

The things that stand out: -Family owned -Made to order Northern Indian food -Extremely affordable, we had dinner for under $10 -Food was fresh and their hot, was sufficiently truly Indian spicy -Cozy atmosphere, small with less than 10 tables -Easy for take-out or delivery -Ambiance isn't much, but your comfortable and made to feel welcome by the owners It isn't the absolute best Indian I've ever had, but we really enjoyed the bold flavors and with all these pieces above that stand out, I think it's going to be a staple for easy take-out, especially with their great deals and large portions! Definitely worth checking out! read more

Surprisingly good for it's humble vibe. The family that works there is super nice and helpful, and .. I was really into the place. Don't by shy.. just try! read more

I came to lunch here twice while on business travel. Very tasty food, and plentiful portions at affordable prices. The chicken makhni is delicious. I opted for tapioca instead of fruit. Not a large restaurant but there is adequate seating. Could be rather busy if you show up at noon. read more

This is our must stop lunch place when we are back in boulder. The lunch special comes with rice, fresh naan, an onion crispy thing, a sweet sauce and pineapple. Service is very friendly and the food is tasty. Great selection of hot dishes. We came during the federal gov shutdown and they were very kind to our family. This is a great community establishment and deserves a try if you haven't had their food yet. read more

Can't think of anything that should change about this place. Great food at a very reasonable price. I'm a big fan of being able to order at the counter right when I walk in, and still getting quality food. The arrangement of the food in the metal trays is nice also. Oh, and so is being able to refill my own drink. That way, I don't have to see the judgement in the server's eye when the time comes for my 8th glass of water in 30 minutes. read more

Authentic curries with Indian owners and clientele with food served on a metal tray just like in India. We had lunch specials and the veggie and chicken was better than the beef (beef is not their specialty). read more

Had to make an unexpected stop in Boulder, and were very pleased with this place! It's an interesting concept, the menu only has a couple of choices of mixed foods they prepare daily. A nice Indian style of preparation. Highly recommended! read more

We drove from Westminster specifically to eat at Curry N Kebob. Thanks to Yelpers for leading us to a delicious lunch. Curry N Kebob is located in a little strip mall and you walk in and place your order at the counter. The menu changes frequently and the chalk board on the wall indicates what items are available that day. The day we arrived there were 3 meat-based dishes and 3 vegetarian options. Each entree is served with naan, rice, a fried onion patty with a delicious dipping sauce, and a rice pudding. You choose whether you want your dish mild, medium, or hot. For roughly $8 you get one hell of a meal. I chose a chicken dish which was similar to chicken tikka masala. The chicken was nice and tender and served in a deceptively large silver dish. There was enough for two people to eat. That meant leftovers we were able to take home! The service is very friendly and they are willing to explain the dishes or answer any questions regarding dietary options that you may have. We also found out that the owner used to own Yak & Yeti in Westminster. No wonder it's so delicious! read more

This is by fair the best Indian food in the area, I usually get the dinner or lunch specials, about $11 for a main course with sides. The chicken masala is amazing and great for beginners, I usually get mild because I like how sweet it tastes but medium is great too. The staff is also extremely nice! read more

Curry N Kebob - Indian Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Solid food, well priced, fast service. Win win win! They also send out coupons via email to frequent customers which is really nice.

Fast and efficient. Order at the counter then take seat. A little pricy for a college town, but big portions and great food. Special requests are accommodated. The smoothies are very fresh. read more

My go-to place for Indian food. Their lunch and dinner dine-in specials are cheap and filling. You can only choose from their specials board, which causes you to go out of your comfort zone (though they usually have a chicken masala option). Great naan bread and I personally love the onion baji. Quick service too! I don't eat Indian anywhere else in Boulder. read more

We went here and got the dinner specials, which supposed to come with rice, nan and a desert. We asked what the desert was and they say rice pudding. The specials selection was underwhelming. Nothing on the menu looked like it was anything special or unique to this restaurant. When we got our food, the food was really bad. Instead of rice pudding we got pineapples from a can?! The nan was very obviously store bought and reheated in the microwave. There was one other green soupy thing I didn't know was it was but it was disgusting. It was watered down and had tastes of dirt in it. The main dish was okay. It was also watered down and the chicken was dry. I was pretty disappointed. For $12 I expected a lot better. read more

Not only is the food here amazing, I just witnessed the owner/manager Rashad, show the most compassion for a person that came into the restaurant to beg for money. Instead of just kicking the man out for harassing his customers, (like a lot of business do) he instead pulled the man to the side and asked if he could make a donation. Such a great gesture, glad he chose Boulder for his business! We frequent here often, and will continue! Jessica read more

What a great find. You order at the counter and they bring it to your table. And seriously, it's so fast they almost passed me and got to the table before I did. They have specials (meat and veggie options) that are 10.50 and super generous portions. I was taken aback at the size of the meal. I ordered hot spice wise and it wasn't really that hot but other than that this place is highly recommended. Get there! read more

This place gets one star because that's the least I can give. I ordered Chicken biryani while visiting Boulder. It had 3 ingredients rice, chicken pieces and red food color. No salt, No spices. Calling that thing a biryani is a blasphemy read more

Really good food but I had a mistake with delivery in the past. Received personal message from owner who apologized so it is fine. If you want good food then come here I recommend the tomato soup and onion bajji read more

The top non-buffet indian restaurant in the Boulder area. This place has the flavors spot on for your favorite dishes and is very affordable. First thing to discuss, this place is unique in how they operate. They do not offer a buffet. They do have a menu you can order from, although I rarely do so. What makes them unique is their lunch and dinner specials. Every day, they have 6 to 7 entrees on special, 3 of which are always vegetarian. The special is $8 at lunch and $10 at night. It comes with a large helping of your entree, rice, naan, an onion baaji or pakora, and fruit (normally a small dish of pineapple). kind of fun! The vegetarian options are normally chana masala, aloo gobi, and mushroom mutter. I have tried all three and like all three. My favorite is the chana. It is a thin sauce with tons of chickpeas. The flavor is phenomenal. I think this is my favorite version of this dish I have ever had. The chickpeas do tend to be more on the crunchy side, but the flavor of the sauce makes up for it and if you take home leftovers the chickpeas will be amazingly soft the next day. The aloo gobi would be my second favorite. It is very veggie heavy with large pieces of cauliflower and potato. This sometimes makes it hard to eat, but the flavor is delicious. If you order the chai, note that it has good flavor but is a little less sweet than some and comes out piping hot! The atmosphere of this restaurant is very casual. Tile floor and cushion-less seats. You step up to the counter to order and they bring the food out to you. The restaurant is always busy, because it is so good and affordable. There is normally a large staff working and they are efficient if a little cold at times. read more

Love this place! Their lunch specials are bomb and a fantastic deal! Their extra hot is actually extra hot! Love that they can make any entree gluten free OR vegan! One of the best Indian food restaurants in Colorado! read more

See all

Tasty food but shockingly rude staff. This story is crazy, so read until the end! I'll preface this by pointing out that I've worked in the service industry off and on for 15+ years. Some of my favorite restaurants have staff who simply get the job done, and don't go above and beyond to creat a warm and welcoming atmosphere. These places are often my favorite. The food is the star, its usually busy so staff work their butts off to get the food from point A to point B. The unwritten rule of "you get what you pay for" applies to staff too, and whenever I'm confronted with rude staff I usually try and put myself in their shoes, and give a pass because services provided usually have a correlation with how much you get payed. So needless to say, I've never written a Yelp review, and I can't remember the last time I've felt the need to let others know how awful staff had treated me. When we first arrived the guy taking our order (you'll know him because he stands probably 4'10") held up his finger at us, without looking at us, without saying a word to us, and continued talking with another staff... for atleast 30 seconds. It just stood out because I don't think it's ever happened to me, and I'm 40 years old. Then after each question we asked about the menu, he would pause, roll his eyes, and then give a couple word answer. He wouldn't speak any louder, and after a few times asking him to speak loud enough for us to hear, we just quit and ordered something else. The whole vibe was that of a teenage foodcourt worker at the mall from some 80s movie, who was way too cool to be working the register and trying to impress friends by showing how disinterested she was. Again we've all had some variation of service like this, but this was so over the top you couldn't help but feel like this little guy was truly disgusted with you. And since it started within a few seconds of us being there, it's not like we'd given any reason for him to treat us this way. A short while later he brought us out our food, and messed up our order. Totally normal, and something I've personally done many times, but he made a point of insisting that we had made the mistake. Not a huge deal, but since I was the one ordering I knew I had told him correctly. Language barriers are a real thing, and 99 times out of 100 I would feel total empathy and I'd rush to assure the staff that it was a misunderstanding, a language barrier and that they were doing awesome, but in this case he was simply too busy trying to show his co-workers how much of a bother we were to him by ordering food, that he messed up half our order. Okay, so you're probably saying to yourself, this isn't that bad, just massive douche working the register who was having a bad day? And I would have thought the same thing, until after our meal we go back to get to-go boxes, and the other male worker started in with the same exact behavior. I ask for 3 to-go containers, the ones with a lid because we had three different curries and didn't want to spill, and he just stared at me like I'd asked for his first born child. So he rolls his eyes and like out of some angsty teen movie, sort of huffs and hands me one. At this point it's almost comical, I'm thinking this has to be the strangest service I'd ever had. So I say to him "I need two more, we ordered 3 curries" aside from other things and I didn't wanna just dump 3 different dishes and make one big soupy mess. So the guy hands me one more! So now I'm kinda over the whole thing, at first you're thinking "okay, maybe this is their shtick, like the appeal of having a grumpy bartender can be fun sometimes", but now I'm like just give me enough to-go things so I can get out of here. He says to me that I can't have a third to-go container for the third curry because I'd reached my limit. I start laughing, out of words and more or less embarrassed now realizing I'm pleading with them, and they for the first time seem to be enjoying their job and having fun with this. I'm trying to explain that we ordered 4 entrees along with sides, and just need one more so that everything will fit. The 4'10" guy then comes up while eating food, and no joke after taking his last bite starts LICKING HIS FINGERS clean (not even gonna get into how disgusting that is during Covid) and is giggling at the spectacle. I finally give up and leave, but when I come outside and tell my friend let's just leave its not worth it, she isn't having it and goes back in to try and make sense of it. A third staff member, a nicer lady who was trying to help, came over and my friend explains how over-the-top rude the guys were, starting from the second we stepped to the register. My friend explains we just need another to-go container, since we ordered enough food for 4 people. They said no, we beged to buy one, they then gave us one. As we left they were literally laughing and waved goodbye. In the end it felt a lot like school yard bullies. Truly one of a kind experience! read more

This place is the bomb. Eat here and you will be back. I'm worried that as a new business they'll review their balance sheet one day and start jacking up the prices, but I haven't seen that yet. The owner gentleman is also REALLY nice. The dinner specials are the way to go, the chicken mukhti (sp?) is off the hook. eat it. Adding to this review a few years later- still love this place and we eat it at least once a week. Really really good and high quality Indian. read more

Great bargain for dinner. I ordered the combo plate for around $10 on the dinner menu board. I was stuffed! The food was great. The service was quick. The restaurant was clean. There was a constant flow of people picking up orders. Maybe next time I should call ahead? read more

Visiting from NY and curios about Boulder's ethnic food scene. Saw all the great reviews so decided to give it a try. I must say the food was a little disappointing probably because of high expectations I see after reading the reviews. I got the lunch special and yes for $7.95, very good value. Although the chicken didn't have any taste and was a bit dry. Naan was pretty good. Hubby ordered off regular menu and I thought maybe his food is better, but not much better. I did like the chai tea. I would give this place 3.5 stars but rounded up because of friendly service. read more

Lunch special is the way to go! Seriously delicious food with great service, and it's a true bargain considering the portions you receive. I highly recommend the chicken makhni. As a tip, they go light on the spice, so don't be afraid to order with more spice level than you might otherwise. read more

Curry N Kebob - Chicken makhni lunch special - Indian Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

This place is decent, the quality isn't true Indian food (and that's coming from an Indian myself lol). The service is always great and employees are always waiting to help you with your needs. And in terms of overall cleanliness; the tables are kept clean and the atmosphere in the restaurant is great and calm. You can't go wrong with Curry n Kebob, but this place is a bit overrated. read more

Tried Indian food for the first time. Medium hot is not very spicy. I really like it. read more

Curry N Kebob - Indian Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Love this spot. Eat here pretty frequently. Saag Paneer and korma curry are my favorites.

Visiting Boulder from Seattle for work. Drove by and decided I was in the mood for Indian food. Was a little worried it looked like fast food. It wasn't. It was GREAT. Very friendly and helpful staff. The chicken Marsala was absolutely delicious and came with three little sides plus non bread and rice. Lots of food for a good price and very fun. The homemade tea was also very good. The booth was comfortable and the ambiance was nice. Quiet so easy to talk. No annoying tv or music. I will take my work mates there next time and if time is short, I will order ahead like I saw others do. Good for both lunch and dinner. read more

The Gist: Two full dinner specials with naan, somosa, entree, and ambrosia for $20! Great deal, great food, and great service! The Breakdown: My wife and I have tried most of the Indian restaurants in most of the cities we've lived in (read: many), and this is one of my favorites. The prices are low, the portions are big, and the food is good and flavorful. I had the chicken tikka masala (as I do everywhere to gauge how I'll like a place) medium and it had quite the kick. I usually get it spicy but this place runs a little hot, so medium was perfect. My wife got the Chicken Vindaloo and really enjoyed it. Both meals came with a good portion of naan, a samosa, sauces, and a little cup of ambrosia which was a nice treat. Cost at most other places: Chicken Tikka Masala $12 Chicken Vindaloo $12 2 orders of Naan $7 Samosas $5 Ambrosias $4 ----- Total $40 Total here $20 Awesome! read more

Understand first that from the outside, this looks like a pizza joint where you order by the slice. However nothing could be further from reality. The interior is nothing fancy but serviceable in decor and spotless in appearance. The food is very, very good and the prices (especially for Boulder: the 24 square miles surrounded by reality {who else would decide to go into the utility business??Don Quixote?}),- OUTSTANDING. Perhaps the next outstanding feature of the place is their website. They use a service/plugin called OrderAhead that is awesome. You select, customize, place & pay for your order via a browser. Then at the appointed time show up and pickup your meal. I did that tonight and it worked brilliantly. Pulled in, walked in, picked up and drove away in about 2 min. with and outstanding meal for 3 people. What could be better? They did forget one Nan but that was nothing compared to the overall transaction. My second meal here; definitely a keeper. read more

After trying all the Indian restaurants in Boulder, Curry n Kebob wins, hands down! Their lunch special is the best option. It comes with naan, rice, a veggie fritter and dipping sauce, a bit of canned pineapple for a sweet finish and of course your choice of entrees from a small selection. It's a great price at $7.95 for the whole thing. Personally, I think you can't go wrong with the chicken makhani. The atmosphere is simple and casual, but the food makes up for an ambiance you feel you may have missed elsewhere. My only complaint is that the dinner option is identical, but a higher price. But then, that's just about everywhere these days. read more

Good find. Thanks fellow Yelpers, the staff was fun and helpful the portions Are plentiful. Don't be scared to order vindaloo spicy! Garlic naan is really flavorful. For good appetizers I recommend onion baji. No frills but who cares when they are nice about helping you. read more

Super good and reasonable my priced! Will be back. Fast as well. Great little fast and good gem.

Best Indian food. Great value - very filling and delicious. I've been about ten times and have never been disappointed.

Now, fair warning, I had this dining experience after a long day at work, during which my food intake wasn't exactly what one would call stellar. I was hungry, very hungry. That being said, this was a fantastic dining experience. Well, wait, let's try that again. Curry N Kebob isn't fine dining, it is more like some tables stuffed in front of a kitchen in a strip mall. ( I've always hated the phrase "strip mall.") I'm just trying to manage your expectations here, cuz atmosphere isn't exactly the strong point. But does it need to be? I mean really, it's about what comes out of the kitchen. And what comes out of the kitchen is absolutely amazing. This is the best Indian food I have had in a long time. It's got a great price, and it's fabulous. The owner is a great guy, don't miss this little gem that's hiding out on 28th! read more

This place is great with a wide variety of dishes to choose from, and good meal specials. The food is absolutely delicious; I have had many friends who have never had Indian food before come here and it has become one of their favorite foods. I recommend the makhni and masala. The portions given tend to be quite large, so be sure to come hungry! read more
