So, it's been a while since my family and I last went out to eat at a restaurant, and we landed on this one since it was both nearby and the prices reasonable for the fare that they offer. My wife and I had been here for lunch before and had a good experience, so this time we figured why not check it out for dinner? Turns out, it was a great idea. The wait for the food was a bit on the longer end, but to be perfectly fair, we ordered a LOT, so we certainly didn't mind. By the time the food hit the table, we forgot about it almost entirely because the smells of freshly made kitfo, lamb tibs, and this stewed chicken dish whose name I can't remember (but it came with a hardboiled egg!) hit our nose, nothing else mattered. The food was presented in a way that somehow matched the overall vibe of the restaurant, which at this time of night was set to be kinda toned down with dingy lighting and smooth music. Huge call out to my waiter that I curse myself for not getting his name, because he is, simply put, the best server I've ever had at a restaurant. Not only was he timely and discreet about topping off our waters, but also checked in about soft drinks as well, and when he heard my son saying the food was too spicy for him, he took it upon himself to get him something else to eat that wasn't spicy at all, and without myself or my wife asking. If you're looking for a great place to eat with a killer atmosphere and even better service, you've found it. read more

Visiting DC for the weekend and I can say this is by far the best Indian food I've ever had at a restaurant! My partner had the vegan Ethiopian platter and told me it was one of the best meals he's had in a while. An absolute must if you're in DC! read more

We ordered the Ethiopian veggie combo and it was absolutely delicious! Two orders were more than enough for the three of us to share. We ordered both kinds of ingera, the American (fluffier) style and the Ethiopian style. Both were different but fresh and tasty. My son ordered the baklava for dessert and said it was the best baklava he's ever had. The staff were very nice and we also enjoyed the atmosphere and the music. read more

This was my family first time having Éthiopian food, we are so glad we went here the service was amazing and the ambiance was inviting. We asked the waitress to pick the food for us and OMG! The food was so good I called the restaurant. My favorite was the Doro Wet, beware it is spicy but I love spicy so I didn't mind. I'm also a fan of the Asa Dulet. There was a beef dish but I forgot the name. My five year old son loved the samosas I had to fight him for it lol. My husband had a great time waiting for the food dancing to their Afrobeat playlist. We will definitely will be back. Don't let the 3.5 star rating on Apple Maps fool you THEY ARE 5 stars hands down!!!! read more

Mild Indian food - fit and easy to try for rookie food explore. Anyway, overall is still tastes good. The highlight is about service, very polite and professional. Price is a little bit more expensive than others because it makes from organic products. Location in downtown Silver Spring- no free parking spot near the restaurant - but there are a few meters parking around and garages are available. read more

We'd been wanting to come here since moving to area and finally got around to it last night. In a sea of Ethiopian places in Silver Spring, Ghar-E-Kebab also has a ew, btu we both were craving Indian food. Service was cordial, prompt and lovely, and we found the ambiance of people at the bar, a few other occupied tables and the random "scenic view of places around the world" footage on the TVs great. We had the Furaula to start, which were warm and super tasty. The accompanying chutney added a great flavor to it and I was happy we'd tried them. For our mains, my partner got the Non Vegetarian Thali with Lamb and I got the the Kadai chicken, although I think it's called something else on the actual menu in the restaurant. Mine was super tasty and the portion was very nice as were the flavors. The Thali drew rave reviews as well. Some of our favorite Indian food so far in Silver Spring. Highly recommend read more

My partner and I had a good time here. I used to live in Pittsburgh and we had a ton of amazing Nepali restaurants. This restaurant was very different from what I was used to in Pittsburgh but was still very tasty. The rice desert that was a part of the thali was TO DIE FOR! Everything else was well spiced too. The server was nice and the ambiance was clean. I will be happy to come back or order take out. read more

Good food and a reasonable price. Fresh and hot and tasty. I recommend you try the biriyani and samosa.

Wow I'm impressed! I actually was on my way to another restaurant and the owner came out and spoke to us and invited us in. The food smelled good so we sat down. I ordered the veggie combo and it was delicious! I can be picky about Ethiopian because I only really like one spot in MD but this really met my standard! Everything was traditional from the decor, the dishes they used and even the music. I was grateful for the outstanding customer service and would love to come back read more

Ghar- E- Kabab - Veggi combo - Indian Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

I haad ordered samosas, aloo parathas and chana masala for takeout. Parathas were not made of atta but some other flour. The samosas were stale and had been fried again to make them seem fresh. All three items were tasteless and were a total waste of money. Better avoided. Worst Indian food that I have tasted in the whole of US in the past two years of my stay. read more

Excellent butter chicken! One of my friends has been coming here for years and recommended that I give it a try. I was not disappointed. It was absolutely amazing! The garlic naan was an excellent compliment to the dish (You're definitely going to want an extra order to sop up all of that delicious sauce!) The owner and staff were all polite and very nice. We came after the lunch rush and only had to wait about 10 minutes for our order. If you order online, you can save 10% on your meal. You're welcome. read more

The momos were good. They're a kind of Nepali dumpling. Get the chicken kind rather than The vegetable kind lol. The service was pretty reasonable and the ambience wasn't bad. Would come back to have more momos! read more

I have enjoyed this restaurant for years. They are always super polite and friendly there. From the moment you walk through the doors they are welcoming you, to the time you leave and they thank you for your business. Being seated is always quick and they accommodate you if you prefer another table in another area ( for whatever reason). The food is very tasty and doesn't take extremely long to come out. They are very attentive and always make sure your glass stays full. The atmosphere is quiet and intimate with a candlelight vibe. Best little hidden secret! If you like Indian you should check it out. read more

What looks like a quiet and unassuming place has some of the best Indian food I've ever had. The chef is charming incredible to talk to. The bartender was welcoming and served proper drinks. I can't wait to come back here again. This in my new favorite Maryland spot. PS. The Garlic Nan is to die for. If you don't eat Indian food come in for a drink and have the garlic Nan. It will blow your mind. read more

I caught a movie at downtown Silver Spring and wanted to try a restaurant I haven't tried before, so I walked near this one and stepped in. The food is excellent, I ordered a veggie platter that has a variety of dishes in small containers. Pretty filling as well. They have a bar and the waitress was friendly. I'd eat here again, try it out if you're nearby and want something good! read more

Went a few times to this place. Tried dinner, weekend buffet as well as weekday lunch buffet. weekday buffet Pros: Chicken was tender. Kheer was good Location Owner/manager was courteous. Cons: Food not tasty. Food presentation was horrible. Go if you are craving Indian food. Otherwise a pass. I would read more

I came here a couple of years ago and the food wasn't memorable then. I didn't really want to come here--I was actually hoping to go to Gusto's but my friend was starving after the Thanksgiving parade in DTSS. I tried telling him where Gusto was but you would have thought it was located in Timbuktu. Anyway, he didn't seem interested (you know when you're trying to suggest something and the person is just not feeling it). Ghar-E-Kabab is right across the street from the parking garage and he saw it and said "let's go there." We (really him) decided to go with the buffet--which is $10.00, not bad. The restaurant was half full and it smelled really good. I don't really care for buffets because I hardly ever go back for seconds but for $10.00, one plate was enough. I checked in (of course) and they have a free glass of wine with an entrée but we couldn't use it because we got the buffet. They gave complimentary naan which was nice and warm--probably the highlight. The mango chutney was overly salty, the lentil stew was basic as were the chicken pakoras. The worst thing was the butter chicken. The chicken was tough--I ate a little piece and left the rest. I've made butter chicken and mine was much better and I'm not even Indian! I didn't even bother with the rice pudding. The service was basic--nothing noteworthy and the food was lackluster, to say the least. There are plenty of Indian restaurants in the DMV, I'll skip this one. P.S: We took a peek into Gusto after lunch and my friend wished we had gone there... read more

Unforgettable experience, Service was terrible,server didn't know how to explain the menu. Water never was offered, food was served cold & untasted . I love Ethiopia/Indian food is completely rich -great testé but this place is far to offer it read more

I love Indian food (and normally Nepali food as well), but I was very disappointed recently with our experience. The waiter was curt and looked very much like he didn't want to be there. He didn't ask us about spice level, and I probably should have inquired about that as the food came back with literally no spice or flavor IMO. He didn't refill water until our glasses were empty, which I would have been ok with if the place was packed, but it was empty. The chicken was over cooked and when we asked the waiter of we could split our meal by two credit cards, he sighed and looked annoyed. Once again, the place was empty. I don't mind suboptimal service if the food is great, but this wasn't worth it at all. Oh - the portion was tiny - and price higher than the place I normally go to for Nepali food. read more

Ordered some delivery they said 45 minutes, it's been over 1:25 minutes that's almost double the time. No answer on the phone and can't even tell if it's coming. At this point the food could be the best I tasted service is terrible. Just when um typing driver pulled in. This is how it looks you can guess the rest. 2 stars is generous read more

Attention---This restaurant advertises ,local,organic, farm food. Well I'm here to tell you-----That is a blatant Trumpian-lie! A few vegetables used in the cooking come from a non-certified "organic" farm but that's it. The meat,rice,flour, sugar ........& basically everything else is restaurant depot garbage! The meat is of especially poor quality. It's not halal or kosher either (in case you're wondering but they advertise this too!) I dunno about you but I find this to be unconscionably deceitful! Dear Restaurant Owner, Please take down your false advertising outside the restaurant and on your Menus. It's misleading and fraudulent. Thank you read more

Keep forgetting that high expectations are a setup for disappointment: my sister & her husband love their food and get their take-out all the time. Me on the other hand, I thought the food was just ok. It didn't help either that we called in our order when they're supposed to be closed (3-5pm) - and the guy who answered the phone said he would cook the food b/c the chef wasn't there ... hehe, hopefully the guy was the sous chef! We were craving Indian so we took our chances :) This place serves both Indian & Nepalese cuisine. Ordered the following dishes: - Chicken Saag ($12.99) - boneless chicken sauteed w/ spinach in curry sauce. I love Saag Paneer so my thought was chicken might be better for my stomach than cheese (I'm lactose-intolerant). Chicken was tasty, the sauce was just ok. It didn't help either that the dish didn't look so appetizing - no fault of theirs: it's just hard to make cooked spinach look pretty. - Baigan Bharta ($10.99) - eggplant baked in clay oven & cooked w/ Indian spices. Spicier than I expected. Mushy texture. One of my sister's favorite dishes. It's pretty good but I probably wouldn't order it again. - Cho-e-la ($6.99) - boneless duck marinated w/ Nepalese herbs & spices, and cooked in clay oven. I wanted to try something Nepalese, and this app was the most interesting-sounding on the menu. Not bad but the duck was a little salty. Glad I tried it but I probably wouldn't order it again. The entrees do come with a generous serving of Basmati rice - one serving can probably feed 2 people. We also got 2 orders of naan which arrived nice & warm. Our order also came w/ complimentary condiments (sweet brown sauce, green sauce, and some kind of relish). Service was very good - food arrived still warm about an hour later, and the delivery guy was very nice. Portions were very generous - enough food to eat 1-2 more times. FYI - they offer free delivery w/in 5-mile radius. read more

This is a gem of a location that one could easily miss if you were passing by on foot and didn't know what to look for. We have ordered delivery from them several times and decided to dine-in on a random Friday evening. The staff was extremely friendly, and no reservation was needed. The dining room was clean, white table cloth style seating (with a paper cover) and extremely comfortable. We weren't particularly hungry, so we split an order of Garlic Naan, Vegetable Samosas, and Chicken Tikka Masala. It was a good amount for the two of us, their veg samosas were surprisingly spice filled (and tasted amazing). The entree order is of course served with rice. Would definitely recommend coming in to show support outside of the traditional delivery method! read more

Ordered the thali which was delicious. It was enough food for several people. The samosa in particular was delicious. Stuffed full of veg and fried perfectly. Will definitely be ordering from them again! read more

Very tasty, high quality food! Everything is made fresh, and you can taste the quality of the ingredients, and the skill of the chef. There were many different components to the Thali, and every single part of the dish tasted very well-made. The quality of the meats we tried (lamb and chicken) was noticeably great. All workers here are wearing masks properly. We were treated very well, the owner is nice. I definitely recommend this place, and will be back the next time I am in the area. read more

I love ordering from here. The food is always tasty. A bit pricy but when I have money I like to order from here.

This is not a Pakistani or Indian kabob place. This is Ethiopian / Nepali place. Not recommended for real kabob lovers.
