Kabab and Curry's - Tandoori chicken, tandoori roti, aloo baingan - Indian Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Consistent great food. One bad day ... oh well... don't have anything more to say... must try

This is my all time favorite food for Indian and Pakistani food. My cravings are always for lamb korma, chicken tikka masala, aloo palak and bread pudding. I also enjoy the chicken sheek kabab and my hubby enjoys the beef sheek kabab. The owners and chef are very humble and they make 'home cooked' food. When I used to visit it 20+ yrs ago, it was a place for cab drivers. But now they have upgraded the decor and created a great ambiance. Plenty of parking outside the restaurant. Love this place! read more

We had a great experience thanks to our server, Sarwar! He provided excellent service, was very quick and efficient, and made sure we had everything we needed. He was extremely kind, friendly, and attentive throughout our visit. His positive attitude and professionalism made our dining experience even better. We really appreciated his service and would definitely recommend him! read more

I had a team lunch at Kabab and Curry's for the first time. The waiter was patient in taking our large orders. From my Indian coworkers, they praised this place and its authenticity. Most of what we ordered were lamb biryani, curries, and fish. The food was good; a bit too flavorful for my taste buds though. We initially ordered goat biryani, but they did not have it at the moment; will try this place next time for their goat dishes. read more

Terrible service. Ordered food to go was told to pick up in 30-40 minutes. 2 hours and food not ready yet

We ordered biryani and lassi here, we got one small size broken plastic piece and we got plastic dust piece in lassi. They are not keeping the kitchen clean. read more

If I can give this place minus, I will. Terrible customer service. Crappy food. Not worth the money! They ask for payment over the phone before ordering over the phone. Never heard about this before. Even in the 3rd world country does not do that. They need to be reported to Santa Clara Health Department for non-compliance!!! read more

I've been coming here for around 15 years now. We come 3-4 times a year and the food is usually pretty consistent. What is also consistent is the service, which is generally not very friendly and is a bit short. I don't mind the service since the food is what we are looking for. We love the chicken tikka masala, biryani, butter chicken, tandoori chicken (on the breast, the wing is usually black/burnt - good flavor, but often parts of it are too dark), aloo gobi, aloo mutter, palak paneer, eggplant potato, paneer tikka masala, naan, basmati, mango lassi. With to go orders, I typically call at 4:55-5pm to place my order and the earliest I've picked it up is 6pm. From all of my experiences, the pick up is very slow. read more

Heard quite a bit about the place and eventually made it here with friends for dinner. Parking can get tough though persistence pays off. This place has a pretty good reputation and is always bustling with guests. We were greeted by Mohammed who got us seated to a table of our choice and as well mentioned to us to start thinking about what we would start with as there could be a wait time otherwise. We got into the act of ordering right away and started with a couple of order of chicken seek kabab, a couple mushroom tikka. Chicken tikka tasted great and it definitely looked to be cooked with an effort rather than in haste. Mushroom tikka had good reviews as well around the table. We followed that up with an order of Chicken Korma, Kadai chicken , Aloo mutter a couple garlic and butter naan along with an onion naan as well. Korma and Kadai chicken tasted epic and i would definitely visit them for those dishes absolutely for sure. The naans were made to perfection as well though aloo mutter had some room for improvement. We ended the night with tea for the table and found it to be just fine (sometimes at places the tea towards the end of the night/day gets to be extremely strong in flavor and this one tasted fresh). All in all phenomenal customer service, great chicken curries and a nice cozy ambience to the place sums up our visit which we would like to repeat as time and opportunity presents itself. read more

Eaten on 7/5/24: lol I really love kabab and curry's still, only update is that I have tried the new tikka masala wings and they are my favorite wings! They come with a creamy sauce that's great for dipping, about 6 wings per order. read more

"Funny nam'e, Top notch gam'e." One of K&C's Michelin Bib Gourmand plaques on the wall says it best -- you come here for the food. Not the service, which can be brusque even if you're a regular. Not the ambience, which is non-existant. You come here for the excellent home style food. Standouts include butter chicken with a hint of BBQ sauce flavour. Tandoori chicken with char to die for. And dum biryani that, excuse the cliché, probably really might be the best in the Bay (get the goat). Kabab and Curry's is the aloof kid / neighbour / coworker who, despite their faults, is just too damn good at what they do to be ignored. You come here for the food. True score: 9.1 / 10. Return: YES read more

The last time I came here was before they remodeled, they had a buffet back then too! The food here is delicious. They offer many different kinds of breads, tandoori options, curries and biryanis. Here is what I tried recently: Nirali lamb (not on the menu, our server told us about it) Chicken keema naan Garlic naan Lamb biryani Chicken leg quarter tandoori Chicken boti kabab My favorite was the nirali lamb and the tandoori leq quarter. Every time I think about it I want to come back! Few notes: - 15% service charge added to all done in orders - Street parking is available - Naan was too charred on the back (might be a one off thing) - check their timings, they are closed on particular days so plan accordingly Lastly...expect to be here for a long time, for us it took about 20 minutes to get our order taken and 45 minutes to get our food. Some parties were getting their orders taken sooner after arrival. read more

My office usually caters from here and the food is always so good. So I thought of trying it on my own. I had placed a to-go order, and the wait time was 50-55 mins. Unfortunately they took additional time to have the order ready upon arrival. Sure, it was a weekend dinner, so I was expecting service to not be the best (also, read other reviews regarding the same). Now, onto the crux of the review: the FOOD Living in Fremont, I know Pakwaan is a huge local favorite for Pakistani/Indian. But I liked the curries at Kabab & Curry's slightly better in taste. So, I am happy to find some nice options for Pakistani/North Indian Non-Veg cuisine in the bay. I tried these dishes: Chicken Kadhai, Bhuna Ghosht, Tandoori Chicken, Chicken Biryani. I loved the currys : amazing flavor! Tandoori Chicken was soft and not dried out, like many other places. The only thing I thought was okayish was the chicken biryani. (first of all, salt was lacking in the rice anf the chicken, and the meat was kind of dry for me) But , overall, a great find to satisfy non-veg cravings! I will be trying out more of their kababs and currys. read more

This place has incredible Indian food! I came with a group of six, and they seated us right away on a weekday evening. Our waiter was attentive and gave great recommendations. Whenever you go out with a large group, I really recommend sharing a mix of dishes. That way, you'll get to sample a variety of flavors! We split 5 curries, a Chicken Kebab platter, 6 garlic naans, and three orders of rice. One serving of garlic naan is just the right size for one person, so keep this in mind. You have to order rice separately if you want that, as well. The curries were super tasty. I really enjoyed the Chicken Tikka and Lamb Korma. I've had my fair share of curries, and these are definitely top notch! I especially liked how they were rich, and filling, but weren't overly oily and buttery. read more

Fish tandoori rocked. Lamb chops were good too. Chicken tikka masala was decent. Parking is curbside by the restaurant. Excellent service, Okay prices too, highly recommend !!! read more

Our group of 10 came around end of lunch and were seated in the back room without wait. A lot of seating is available in the shop so good for larger parties. They weren't that busy and service was decently quick for our large group. Ordered and got food in about 15min. 9/10 Lamb Chops $18 - The best thing here! Lamb was juicy, lightly crispy edges, and cooked medium well! Enough to still be tender with a slight chew! Seasoned well but only 4 small pieces. 7.5/10 Fish Fillets $17 - 2 small fillet strips. Fish is dried seasoned. Almost a lemon grass flavor but was just ok overall. 6.5/10 Butter Chicken $11.75 - below average for butter chicken. Lacked a lot of flavor and creaminess. Good amount of chicken that was well coated. Portion size seemed average. 7/10 Lamb Korma $12.50 - lamb was tender and came in good chunks. Flavor of the gravy was pretty average. 6.5/10 Garlic Naan $5 - garlic flavor is super light. Naan made well but not worth at all. Just get the plain. 6/10 Beef Qeema $7 - definitely mot worth it either. Meat filling is very little and didn't have much flavor at all. 7/10 Choley $11 - average in taste and portion. Nothing special 7/10 Mango Lassi $5 - a different type of mango lassi than what I was expecting as it is more yogurt (sour) than sweet mango flavor. Not bad but it is super thick and heavy. 8% service fee as noted on menu and sign for dine in. Free onions if you ask. Overall super pricy and does not line up in taste read more

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Kabob & Curry's, and ordered butter naan with a Mutton Rogan Ghosh. The butter naan was soft, fluffy, and had the perfect balance of crispiness on the outside with a rich, buttery flavor that elevated each bite. It was the ideal accompaniment to the Mutton Rogan Ghosh, which was simply divine. The mutton was cooked to perfection--tender and succulent, with the deep, aromatic spices of the Rogan Ghosh infusing each bite with a complex blend of warmth and flavor. The dish was neither too spicy nor too mild, striking the perfect balance that made it incredibly enjoyable. If you're a fan of authentic Indian cuisine,Kabob & Curry's is a must-visit. I highly recommend trying the butter naan and Mutton Rogan Ghosh--you won't be disappointed! PS They get so many take-out orders, it took slightly more time to serve food.. read more

Ordered through toast for lamb biryani. Crazy long wait to pick up something that's usually readily available after noon. There wasn't crowd in restaurant either. Expecting someone to wait for 30 minutes is crazy shit. After a full 45 minute wait in the middle of working day, the guy evading my eye contact all the while comes to me saying the biryani is burnt.. can you please take chicken biryani ?. I can't fathom i leave the place without any biryani after a full 45 minutes of wait. Such is the service here. read more

Went to Kabab and Curry after craving some Indian food and found this nice spot to get some yummy takeout. We ended up ordering from before on the phone and thankfully the food was ready on time. We got: *chicken tikka masala - this was creamy and delicious with juicy pieces of chicken *lamb korma - I liked this one as the curry was very flavorful, but wish it came out hotter *butter/garlic naan - both were delicious with the yummy chicken and lamb gravy's Overall yummy food, decent prices and good quantity! read more

Extremely spicy Biryani! Not sure why their spice level is so high so I couldn't taste anything except chili. My appetite died after this taste of chilli. The other chicken curries, butter chicken and chicken korma were ok. Nothing that I can't get anywhere else. Butter chicken wasn't what my kids like as it was more of a chicken tikka curry. I also didn't feel comfortable giving my card number on the phone when you place the order. read more

Please beware :Santa clara location, tried calling establishment to inform staff: We unfortunately found a beetle/bug in the Butter Chicken order ... such a shame, we loved the naan and most items, Please ensure to check the food/storage/cleanliness of properly. read more

2.5. Walking inside, it looks newly remodeled with plenty of accolades hanging on the wall but I don't see any from this year, for good reason. They should've remodeled the bathrooms too, there are two single restrooms that are gross. Quality was just not there. I got paneer tikka masala and minced beef kebab. Beef had a very strong cilantro flavor, I like cilantro but it could use other spices. Curry Portions are really small, almost tapas size and naan is too doughy. There's a mandatory 15% service charge but service was lacking. I had to ask for water, sauce, the bill, etc. they don't check on you at all. Maybe it was better in the past. read more

Stopped by for lunch. At 11:30 we were the only ones in the restaurant, but within 15 minutes it was packed! Overall good food, but small portions. Chicken tikka masala had awesome flavor and decent heat level, but the chicken was quite dry. Paneer tikka masala was a good dish with nice smooth flavor. Lamb Biryani was another good dish. Their garlic naan was a star and would get that all day long. Will definitely return read more

If you want authentic tasty well portioned Indian /Pakistani food this is the place! Its santa clara's best kept secret. I typically order is chicken Achari, chkn tikka masala, biryani, Lamb Seekh kabob and their big naan read more

Palak paneer and chicken tandoori leg was good. Seekh kebab chicken was a little dry. 3.5 rounding to 4! read more

Ordered the tandoori fish which is extremely flavorful and tender, the portion is pretty small for the price though (but possibly worth it for the flavor). I just wouldn't count on the dish to get full. It is located on a corner of two streets away from the main road, so street parking is easy. ***For the pandemic, easy to call and order (will have to pay ahead of time so have payment info ready) and pick up is easy too. read more

This place keeps getting better in some aspects. The foods are amazing! Biryani, chicken quarters, butter chicken, chole, or you name it, they're all are well seasoned! For dine in, the sittings are nice, the staff are quite efficient. The take out is quite slow due to high frequency of people ordering, just make sure you check your order before living the premises since it won't be fun and inconvenient to go back. read more

Tried their Chicken boti kabob and chicken dum biryani. Absolutely authentic and super tasty. Biryani was very well made, absolutely one of the best dum biryani in the bay area read more

Parking is hard to find on a weekends and has decent place for dining but looking at the crowd, went for togo on few occasions and always stuck with Togo as service was slow lately. Sometimes the doordash n uber crowd was too high. Their Biryani is on pleasant side with respect to their spice levels compared to other indian places wehre its little spicy. Would recommend these dishes Chicken and Goat Biryani Tandoori Breast - Was very Juicy and amazing- Goes good with Beer Chicken Boti was also good lamb Chops were awesome Give it a try read more

Grabbed lunch here......pretty good and tasty for the most part.....but with except of Lamb chops which was extremely dry and not very flavorful; the lamb also seemed not very fresh.

Since place for tasty food. Butter Chicken is awesome. Fish is also good. The place tends to get very busy where the wait time becomes 1.5+h at times for pick up. I have been going there since 2009, and the place still is the same with some interior changes. Good place for food, but not for fine dining. read more

Enjoyed the service and food here at Kabab and Curry's. They did a remodeling and i guess they raised their prices a bit... i don't remember exactly how much it was before.. but now it's around $15 for chicken tikka. We had a good experience tho, service was great.. i remember the chicken tikka being better the first time but it was still good so can't complain. The garlic naan was very good along with their saffron rice and mango lassi. I tries the aloof cauliflower curry and it was too oily. I'd be back again! read more

Best kebab in town , authentic taste . Chai was in different level , must try....will come back..

An authentic place that feels family owned. Love their naan, biriyani and chicken tikka masala, which is uniquely flavored here compared to the other tomato heavy version at most places. Kabab n Curry's has been my family's go to place for Indian food for over a decade. Service is very unpretentious and quick which I don't mind at all. read more

Chicken leg quarter was delicious. Definitely coming back to have it. Beef kabab was good too but I have had better in bay area. Their lamb stew was okayish. I guess I should have ordered Lamb Korma since that's their speciality in lamb curries. I also feel that their chicken curries would have been better. The naan was amazing. Perfectly fluffy and soft in the mouth. Definitely paying another visit to try their biryani. Iy looked really fresh but I didn't order since I was too full. read more

I loved the food here, and I will definitely be back to try more things. The food is served in small portions, which makes it nice to try many different things. I enjoyed every thing we ordered though. Good Tikka Masala that is different than most I've tried. I liked the Lamb Biryani, although it is rice heavy and would have been better with more meat in it. The Navratan Korma was really good, and I enjoyed the naan and the ground beef kebab. Delicious raita and spicy green sauce, and drinks. Really super clean and new looking inside, with cute tables and a homey atmosphere. I didn't even mind they charge you the 15% tip as a "service charge" on the receipts, just be careful not to tip twice when they spin that ipad over to ya! Buyer beware on that. read more
