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 unassuming restaurant is little on size, but big on flavorful dishes. The seating is a bit tight. I was wedged in at a two seater table between two other tables for two. We were so close together I couldn't help eavesdropping on both conversations. Most folks were there for their lunch buffet, but being a non meat eater I ordered off the menu. It didn't end up being a cheap lunch; $25 to be exact. I started with an appetizer. The Paneer Pakora ($5.99) was okay. I mean, it is just four wedges of cheese fried in a chickpea batter. I think I'd skip it next time and order another lassi and an extra basket of hot out of the oven naan. That is what you can get for the same price. The vegetarian selections are good. I had the Aloo Gobhi ($11.99). It was a spicy combination of steamed potatoes and cauliflower florets cooked in flavorful herbs. It doesn't look like much food for the price, but i ended up taking some home. The rice was nice too. Service was pleasant. Several people came by to check on us, yet weren't too intrusive. For being a weekday lunch hour, it was quite bustling. The place is small, but big on charm. read more

Their naan here is incredible! I haven't had a chance to try a lot of things on their menu but from what I have tried, everything has been delicious. Baingan Bharta is one of my fave Indian dishes and they do it well here. Their biryani is good but very very spicy. I slightly prefer the biryani at the Khadai restaurant in Bethesda. Their biryani seems less fried and has more vegetables. My husband ordered the shrimp vindaloo which he enjoyed very much. Would definitely come back here for dinner to try more of their appetizers and vegetarian entrees. read more

This is a decent Indian restaurant. Nothing here is out of this world but they do a good job across the board. I always get the Chicken Vindaloo and they make it decently spicy (could be hotter) but the portions are pretty big so I can't complain much. They deliver which is fantastic!! Pretty good food and delivery are solid combinations in my book. read more

Ordered the goat dish and kheer for dessert through door dash, arrived a little later than scheduled but not too bad. Goat was delicious, right spice level. The reason I gave it 4 stars? Dish and dessert was expensive and the portion was small - really small, if I'm going to pay $15-18 for a dish, it better be worth leftovers. read more

Good lord! Chintzy servings at high prices! WTH?! After a year of passing by, I finally found the time to go and try this place out. (The rain outside helped encourage me to go inside rather than going a little farther for food.) I was promptly seated, but let me tell you--the place was so dimly-lit I had to use the flashlight app on my phone to read the menu. now, I'm used to the price of Indian food in MD but still it felt a little high. Nonetheless orders were made and... Not enough food to justify the cost. Not one bit. Sorry, but ordering rogan josh and getting half a handful as a serving with a paltry amount of rice does NOT count as a meal! All in all, I didn't enjoy my dining experience there. I did leave a tip (it wasn't the waiter's fault, after all), BUT I did leave an explanation on the back of the receipt explaining why I wasn't coming back...which was only halfway legible because the whole dining room was so dim. Not coming back. Next time I'll walk all the way to Bombay Gaylord. the food was better and a smidge better serving size. read more

So I echo the sentiments of the others: listen to the reviews! Went for the lunch buffet and was underwhelmed. There were literally 6 things on the menu, and as a vegetarian that made my options very slim. The saag paneer was watery with no cheese mixed in, and the rice was hard. I have been to Indian restaurants with a much better buffet selection for the same price. The three stars are given because the customer service was good, and the personal basket of naan was nice. Silver Spring definitely needs a substantial Indian restaurant where folks are well fed and well satisfied. read more

I placed a delivery order at 6:00pm by 8:00pm the food still had not been delivered. They never contacted me to provide an update of any sort. I called to cancel and request my credit card be credited back the money for my order. The food was never delivered and they still have not credited back the charges on my card. I had to put in dispute with my bank. I will never order from here again. read more

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

Very satisfied, and happy with the food here, closest to home food. We ordered the Aloo Tamma, with rice and the soup momo (Nepalese dumpling) - loved it. Also got to speak with the owner, who harvests all the vegetables served in the kitchen. I also got the buffet, their shrimp fried rice was something new for me and I would order it again. The spices aren't overpowering and the set up is soothing and nice, with lot of natural light, with Nepalese instrumental folk music playing on the background. read more

This small spot is a true find and a gem. We have walked past it before, but this evening we decided to give it a try. The people are extremely friendly and the dining area is crisp, clean and comfortable. Service was very good. No rush. Our waiter kept an eye out for when we had finally put the menus down, and then asked if we were ready to order. The menu is fulsome and, for others who are vegetarian like ourselves, has a large number of choices. The food was excellent; the breads were fresh and very tasty. We had the vegetable pakoras and samosas to start. Both were done perfectly. The three of us shared our entrees and we were very happy. This little spot is worth seeking out for a wonderful Indian meal. We will definitely be back. read more

This has been my goto Indian restaurant for years. They serve the best okra anywhere and all of the lamb dishes are amazing. If you've been thinking about having goat, try the Khasi ko Masu, their Nepali goat curry. I tried a new appetizer, the samosa chat and Wow! read more

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

A mix of Indian and Nepalese, but with a healthier emphasis. Most of the meats used in dishes are cooked in Tandoor clay oven (reducing need for fats) along with sourcing locally-grown vegetables. You'll find many traditional dishes that are well executed (Saag Paneer, Chana Masala, Dal Makhani, Lamb Roganjosh, Chicken Korma, various kababs, etc.). Dishes are typically sized as mezze portions, with rice served separately. This makes it easty to share, although three portions for two people provided enough food to take some home that was enough for another meal. Nice service as well. For example, I liked that they filled my water glass once, maybe twice, during a long meal. It never got completely empty, but they weren't hovering to stock my glass every 3 minutes full of undrinkable ice. There is an interesting highlight of organic wines by the glass. But there's reasonably priced non-organic wines along with classic beers (King Fisher, etc) read more

I've eaten here at least 50 times (dined in once) but always order delivery. Even when playing Russian Roulette with my food order options, I have never been disappointed with the flavors and taste of my food. Once I pop open that bag and catch those aromas, "Yes Laawwdd." This restaurant has a history of delivering me perfection. However... On my very last order, for the first time EVER, my food was cold, my order was extremely late, the new delivery guy is just TRASH!! He reeked of poor grade marijuana and was extremely rude, which was a confusing contradiction. My order was about $32, I gave him two twenties and when I asked him for my change (key phrase: I asked HIM for my change, he didn't even try to give it back) he scoffed at me... ?!?! ....Bish! We don't pick our own tips around these parts. I digress. The only way I'll order (via delivery) from here again is if you guys fire that loser. -1 star for the delivery driver, not the food. read more

They took over the business next door, good for them doing well, the Lunch buffet is another good sign, dying to try it. I went back for the 5th time or so, The chicken in my vindaloo was the most tender I can remember, the spice was the spiciest I've ever had except for visions in petworth. Fresh pepper heat, no extract, not dimensional in flavor, just searing relentless heat that stays in your mouth, no throat or head heat, or psychedelic visions. GLAD I dipped the nice fluffy nan in the sauce to taste it first. Ate the several pieces of chicken over my rice and quarantined the sauce. Lovey had the butter chicken, I lusted for both. Has a nice table for a PARTY of 9 near the buffet. read more

do not eat here! absolutely poor service and food! worst dining experience i have ever had at a indian restaurant!

The entire dining experience left me wanting...more. Not food, but authenticity. They offer a $9.99 buffet (which is actually a very good price) but there weren't many options to choose from. The tandoori chicken was good, but there was a lot of cartilage to pick through. The butter chicken is exceptionally delicious, as well as the yellow lentils and naan. The cabbage and various other veggie dishes left something to be desired. I think the entire buffet consisted of about 7 dishes, rice pudding, salad, and your standard yogurt & cilantro sauces. The restaurant itself is very clean and classy looking, right down to the cloth napkins and strategically placed bottles of wine. So, you ask, why give this place 3 stars? It wasn't welcoming. The staff isn't rude, but they're not very nice either. It's very quiet and you almost feel out of place. In my experience, whenever I've eaten at an Indian restaurant there's always a certain charm to it. It's just there, and it has nothing to do with how clean or perfect everything looks. It's about the bold spices wafting through the dining area. The beautiful art on the walls or throws decorating a plush seating area. The entire establishment exudes warmth and vibrance...and this place leaves something to be desired. I almost felt uncomfortable digging into my buffet. Almost. Would I come back? If they offered more choices, yes. Would I make it a point to come back? Ehhhhh... read more

Good platters! Not the biggest fan of their prices for an individual entree, but I will give them four stars specifically for the samplers... vegetarian platter about $23... and delicious. Biggest and only real complaint, slow "hands off service." I think they think with their pretty decor they are giving you space to enjoy a nice quiet dinner, but it's like when you need the check, you really have to try and get their attention... eye contact is not enough, you have to actually do the pretentious hand motion for "check please." read more

Walked in, got seated and got a glass of water. We ordered our food, but when we got it, it was in a take-out bag. All the food was wrapped up and stapled up shut even though we never asked to take our food to go. There were other people sitting inside the restaurant too, just regular people like us, but not black like us. Even when we tried to tell them we thought we were dining in, they said "no... this is to take out". Meanwhile, there were other people seated and eating. It was messed up. We had to eat outside in the front. It felt like we were kicked out. read more

Had a take-out dinner, and it was OK but middle of the road. The chicken kabab in garlic and mint was very good, and so was the biryani, but the mulligatawny soup was thin, and tasted just like split pea soup, and the raita was runny and with no oomph. This restaurant might be a nice place for a quick lunch, but not a celebratory dinner. read more

I got the spicy butter chicken and naan It was really good, and I got a lot of chicken. It wasn't really spicy though, I added hot sauce to mine lol. It came with white rice and three random peas... the naan was amazing. Four stars instead of five because my food was cold B+ for you guys! read more

i NEVER right reviews but had dinner here tonight. It was fantastic! my husband had the chicken tika marsala and I had the shrimp tandoori. Both were to die for. And by all means don't for get the Panera pakora or the naan bread. Service was also exceptional. Next time we are in town we will be back! read more

Came here for dinner before seeing a movie. We were sat pretty quickly and service came pretty fast. I will say the restaurant felt very dark in terms of lighting, but the food was pretty good! We split two dishes and got the basket of nan...for two people this was a lot of food. While I love bread, the basket of nan was a bit too much. Overall a good time, good food, maybe turn the lighting up a bit. read more

Came here for lunch buffet and was pleasantly surprised. I'm visiting from out of town. Interior is clean and nice. Cloth napkins, etc. Service was excellent and surprisingly attentive for lunch buffet. There are 3 or 4 guys making rounds at all times. The buffet was constantly replenished, which is a good sign...small, hot portions that haven't been sitting around all day. The buffet itself was on the smaller side but the variety was excellent. Today they had veggie pakoras, tandoori chicken, and at least 4 curries ranging from veggie to fish to chicken. Fresh naan was brought to the table. I found everything to be quite tasty Overall the buffet is an incredible bargain for $11. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. Not sure why it doesn't have a higher rating on Yelp. I've been to many buffets over the years and this one is near the top. read more

Me and my family recently visited this place. The food is great. I enjoyed the Salmon Tandoori the best. We also enjoyed the Vegetable Korma and Chicken Tandoori. They were very careful with sanitization and guidelines during this pandemic. Highly recommended!! read more

After our neighbors recommended it, this has become one of our favorites. We usually order kebabs (Green kebab is our favorite) and/or some of the classic Indian dishes (chicken Tikka; butter chicken). read more

Service was a bit slow but the waiter was a nice young guy trying his best to satisfy everyone. The food was great. I had a vegetarian dish with okra. Really good just not spicy enough for me so he brought me some fresh jalapeños which made it great. The lentil soup was tasty and of course the garlic naan was great. I'll certainly be going back again and oh because I checked in with yelp they gave me a FREE glass of wine read more

I've been coming to this restaurant for the better part of seven years I believe at this point. I have literally never had a single bad meal. They're chicken vindaloo and lamb vindaloo are absolutely amazing. The butter chicken is outstanding. The pakoras, the samosas, and their lentils all have complex flavors and are feeling. The portions are huge, and the non is absolutely delicious. It's insane that anyone would give this a rating less than a 5. Be sure to give them your business the next time you're near by. The atmosphere is calm and inviting and the wait staff are attentive. read more

Food is good. Overpriced but decent. I've ordered delivery from them a dozen times but the last two were so rude that I won't be ordering again. They've forgotten parts of my order on multiple occasions and delivery time is very inconsistent. Sometimes twenty min sometimes almost two hours with no notice. The spice level is also very inconsistent within their food. Why have a spice level when everything is going to come out with ZERO spice even when telling them very clearly for very very spicy on multiple occasions. I've decided this place won't be on my delivery rotation anymore. Old Review: Indian restaurant that delivers steaming hot food to my door! Yes please. Love the tikka masala and butter chicken with extra rice and naan. Naan is always hot and delicious and the food is really good if you order it very spicy then put in the directions to make it very very spicy. Otherwise, no spiciness at all. Will continue to ease my cravings with this place. read more

Only problem, tonight I did not get Garlic Naan even though I ordered it. I got salad and some beans in its place!

Have you ever walked into a restaurant that you haven't been to in a couple of years and almost do not recognize the place? That's what happened to me a few weeks ago when the family unit and I had a sudden Indian craving while milling about in downtown Silver Spring, so we ventured over to Ghar-E-Kabab solely due to its close proximity. We entered the restaurant and I was expecting a tiny shoe box, but was stunned to see rows of tables adorned with white linen cloth and wine glasses. They had obviously had bought out their former neighbor and expanded their dining space. ********************************************************************** I have to break into this update to address the number of recent reviews who complain of Ghar-E-Kabab's supposedly high prices. I did a quick search of other area Indian restaurants and their prices are on par with the going rate for Indian fare in the DC area. Most entrees are around the $15-$16 dollar range. That's hardly price gouging. If you want expensive - go to Rasika. Back to the update. ********************************************************************** Not only has the space expanded at Ghar-E-Kabab, but the menu has as well. There are more vegetarian options, appetizers, soups and salads, and even some children's options (a rare find in most Indian restaurants). We have tried a number of dishes since rediscovering this place and all of them, from the Rogan Josh to the Kukhura ko Masu, have been fine to exceptional. I will also note that their Chicken Vindaloo was one of the hottest Vindaloos that I have eaten, even though the waiter tried to dissuade me from ordering it in the first place. When will people learn that this white boy can handle the heat? In fact, I crave it (my ass - not so much). At the end of the day, Ghar-E-kabab may not be the greatest Indian restaurant on the planet, but it is a very fine restaurant that I definitely recommend to visit if you are in the Silver Spring area. read more

This is a gem of a restaurant with wonderful food and very sincere and attentive staff. We had the butter chicken and saag paneer with garlic naan and an order of momos. The saag paneer was delicious and the butter chicken was very good (but didn't come close to the Wee Curry House). Both very flavorful and well prepared -- served with rice that is well beyond the usual mediocre rice. The garlic naan was also delicious, but must agree with Su K. that the order is a bit small. I was excited to come here given my love of a good momo, and must say that they were not what I had hoped, but the rest of our food totally made up for any momo disappointment -- and the service was the perfect compliment to the food. I left with the same feeling you get from a home cooked meal. Total comfort food -- and immediately apparent that it is prepared with great care and attention...more like eating in the home of a friend or family member -- where you are treated more like family than a customer. I did check out the buffet which was a rather limited selection of items as others have noted, but the food did look delicious. Will return. read more

Did the lunch buffet, reasonably priced and with accommodating staff. Owner seems very nice and the cooking feels like comfort food from my mother-in-law. I especially liked that its organic and from a family run farm, so their business practices are admirable. I'll be coming back here. My only complaints were that the baingan was a little too greasy (possibly spoiled since I'm used to a home recipe) and some of the pakora felt soft and less crispy. But overall excellent classic offerings, attentive service, fair price, and good business practices. Keep up the good work. read more

Ouch, my wallet hurts. $13 chana masala? $2.50 per samosa? That's setting some pretty high expectations. I've ordered here a few times and every time it doesn't feel worth it. Consider your substitutes: chana masala is now cheap, easy, and fast to make at home. What are you getting here for your extra ~$10? That said, the food is good (I particularly like the Baigon Bharta eggplant dish), and the delivery alternatives are dismal so if you want Indian, this is about it. But consider this a solicitation: someone out there should start an Indian place in Silver Spring that delivers. The market is wide open. read more

I couldn't figure out whether to give this place a 3 or a 2. I settled on a 2, but it's a high two. First, the positives. service was friendly and attentive for the most part. our drinks were refilled often and they were able to see our body language and move us from a drafty table by the door to a warmer table in the back. everyone was very nice. On the downside our meal took over an hour to be prepared. maybe more like an hour and a half. I'm not sure why i even stayed and didn't leave. I was confused but they told me that tandoori chicken and vegetarian ghar-e-kabob thali took a long time to prepare. I was skeptical but obviously i don't want to piss wait staff off or give them too hard a time - especially these people who seemed very nice. I am fairly certain our meal was never put in or lost by the chefs, because other people were served. and when we did get the food, some of it seemed a bit charred and dried - maybe trying to cook real fast? The tandoori chicken was dry and flavorless. the vegetable assortment had its highs adn lows. i thought the chana masala was really good, but the other stuff was hit and miss. In addition we never got any of the samosa we had, but when we finally got our meal i was too hungry to even bother. The rice was very good. the bread basket which we finally got after reminding them was good too, with one exception. there was some hard grainy odd stuff on the bottom of some pieces that was gritty and weird tasting. i'm not sure what it was. To end on a positive note the wait staff was all apologetic about the wait (once they realized we still hadn't been served they got more apologetic), and gave us free tea and some sort of yogurt drink that i didn't like but the thought was nice. I may try the place again because i have this feeling that it was an off night, but I wouldn't order the tandoori chicken, maybe the chicken tikka masala. read more
