It was my first time. But it was one of my boyfriend's favorite places when we were on the UA campus. So we had to have it when we went to visit the campus! We got tikka masala and garlic naan! Oh my goodness. It was made fresh to order, piping hot! It was a to-go order and it was very well packaged so it couldn't spill in the car. The tikka masala curry was flavorful and tasted incredible - the chunks of chicken were tender. The rice was made just right. The garlic naan bread was good but I couldn't taste much of the garlic. It was still good! And we will definitely come again! read more

The lamb biryani is so good, even my friends who claim to not like lamb were gushing about it. The mango lassi is definitely needed to calm down the spice, medium level goes a long way here. The staff is always very kind, and the fridge has a wide selection of beverages. I was not expecting the white claws and cut waters when I first looked in. I would heavily recommend this place to anyone who is considering it. read more

Kababeque Indian Grill - Mango Lassi - Indian Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Decent for a quick college food joint. Food is served in to go containers and paper plates are available. You get to choose your spice level. Vegetarian options available. Decent amount of indoor seating but would caution against large parties hoping to score a table. Paid street parking or paid parking garages nearby .., the street car is also an option. read more

Came here during UofA spring break when all the "kids" are gone. My friend hadn't been here before and finding two parking meters was easy. Her chosen protein on this day was the paneer (cheese cubes) and mine was my usual lamb. We each chose the korma sauce although I think my favorite remains their pashanda (which used to be secret menu only but is now a listed option). Staff was completely disinterested but courteous. Our lunches took a surprising 15 minutes to make. There appeared to be 2 pickup orders ahead of us. The amount of protein is "average" - that is to say, not sparse but nothing you might exclaim about. The lamb was decent quality with minimal fat or gristle. The sauces are always the highpoint and generously served along with the included side of rice. We both had leftover sauce and I advised that I deliberately take the roughly 50% excess sauce home and combine it later with chicken and some quick rice/noodles. It really makes for an excellent "leftovers" meal the following day. The layout changed since I was last here (a year ago?!) with a better setup of tables and chairs but the best seats in the house are now gone (previously there were 4 barstools facing out the large front window). For quick/solo lunch goers those were always best. I'll be back sooner. read more

The food is so flavorful. My son and I have been going for the last ten years. He always gets the chicken Korma. I switch it up but never disappointed. Food is fresh and delicious. The service is always kind and fast. The dinning is very casual, to go orders are even better if we have more people as there are only a few tables. read more

I wasn't too hungry so I got the small chicken wrap for $8. It was loaded with chicken and flavor. I got a 5 of 5 spicy (maybe I'll go with the 4 next time). Nice thin tortilla. They have Indian beer as well. The person working the counter was very helpful. The ambiance is fast casual. Next time I'll have to get something more interesting like a dish from the "Chef's plates" part of the menu. read more

Friendly and hardworking family served some delicious and affordable lunch- I would go again! The chicken tikka stuffed naan was unique and yummy and needed a bit more garlic but paired great with my saag paneer. I would have liked a bit more flavor in the rice and the saag more creamy, but over all, it satisfied my craving and I had leftover for dinner. read more

Kababeque Indian Grill - Lamb and curry with basmati rice. - Indian Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

We stopped today for lunch before the play at Centennial Hall. Our meals were delicious and would rate the quality and flavors as a 5 but the service was poor, thus the 3 rating. The person taking our order wouldn't offer any suggestions and was very short when we asked questions. I ordered the chicken kabob and my husband had the chicken with curry. Because of the service we will eat elsewhere next time we are on University Avenue. read more

Prices are a little more expensive than currently listed on the wall, just so you know. Entrees aren't $10, but they're matched with the times. I ordered. The lady said it would be about 10 minutes. 20 minutes in, I'm still standing there. I've been the only one there for a while at this point. I have to go to the bathroom, and their restroom is closed. I tell her this so that I don't come off as rude when I ask how much longer. She says two minutes. A few minutes later she comes out of the kitchen, and I ask again. She says they just realized they hadn't started it. I went home to the bathroom and then came back to get it (I live nearby). By then it was ready, but it wasn't even that good. I got the chicken tikka masala, and the chicken seemed slightly undercooked, but it was not as annoying as the service. There's better food for at least a dollar less at places that won't make you wait and then fail to acknowledge how long they made you wait. Go to one of those. Jimmy's is next door, and it's great. read more

Kababeque is one of the best places to eat on University. This locally owned spot has a wide range of menu items and freshly made food with meat and veggie options. If you've ever been to Saffron Indian Bistro, this location is also owned by the same folks. Their team is always really kind and the food is ready fast. There is plenty of seating inside and outside for the size of their location. read more

This grill is located near the University of AZ campus. We were not sure what we wanted. When we saw the Indian food sign, it piqued our interest. After reviewing the menu, we decided to try it. I ordered the Q chicken curry wrap and hubby got chana masala with rice. They do a big take out business. Our order probably took about 15-20 min. Everything is cooked fresh to order. They also ask about spicy levels; mild, medium or hot. The food was ample. They offered 4 types of different sauces; hot, yogurt, tamarind and spinach. We enjoyed both dishes. I chose the yogurt sauce and it was perfect. Street parking. read more

Yo. Yo. Yoooooo!!!! Y'all should be ashamed of y'all selves for how lit this food is. Being a vegetarian around here is difficult sometimes with needing a decent portion of food, flavor, AND an affordable price point. Y'all did that. The Paneer Roll spicy is such a stacked combination of what I've mentioned and then some. The richness of the spices, the freshness and firm texture of the paneer is crazy work. 10-10-10-10! read more

Kababeque Indian Grill - Tikka Masala vegetarian - Indian Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Their dishes are consistent and so easy to order dairy free or without butter. Great flavor and spices. The woman who takes orders is so well informed of ingredients and is always friendly and professional and knowledgeable. We love all the veggie dishes. Eggplant, Dahl, spinach dishes are my favorites. My only complaint is they only use disposable dishes that are made of black plastic or styrofoam. The temps are usually very hot so clearly these meals include toxic chemicals leaching from disposable to go containers. Bring your own glass for them to fill up. read more

we have been eating this great food for several years. The last several times that we visited, the portions have been cut in half. I have spoken with the management a couple of times without any good results. They have just cut thier main portions in half and it seems that they know it and it also seems that they have done what they have done and so therefore we will look for another place to have good Indian food. Too bad, the food is very good but now, it is what it is.. read more

Ordered: Medium spice chicken tikka masala Garlic naan The food was absolutely amazing and I'd totally eat here again because of it. Pleasantly spicy chicken, and the naan was slightly charred but still soft. I wish the tikka masala had more chicken, but there was plenty of rice to soak up the extra sauce. The restaurant itself is small and feels dated...the booths are cracked and overall lack luster. Ambience is meh. Service is average - the woman working the counter was obviously stressed and didn't make conversation or put in effort. Overall, would definitely order to-go or delivery because the food was 5 stars. read more

Got chicken curry with garlic naan & it was amazing!!! Love this place. Good food and good service!

This is the worst Indian I've ever had. It is real slop with no flavor and thrown on flimsy plastic plates. In top of it all, they gave us hardly any chicken with the tiki masala or the lamb korma. The nan bread was not even hot. Two pieces of Nan bread, 2 tiki masala's and 1 lamb korma almost $40. It's not even worth $20. Since this is owned by Saffron, they should institute new management otherwise they will ruin their reputation and people like me who love Saffron and eat there often will stop going. read more

SAHUARITA, AZ Location!! Currently, the Sahuarita location isn't aligned to Yelp per address as of 27 Mar, so this review applies to THIS location and not the Tucson or Oro Valley locations. - Finally opened; walked in and could clearly see that the building was immensely refurbished, updated, painted and outfitted to a modern fitting. The restaurant's colors are appealing, calm and yet simple. The smell of Inidian cuisine is a refreshing addition to Sahuarita where mexican and pizza joints have all but flooded the area in the same. I met with the manager who explained his past and why they came to Sahuarita. Their intent is to additionally open two more restaurants (purportedly) In Green valley and over in Vail. Again, nice to see an expansion of food style. Ordered three meals off of an overly simplistic dual-half page menu with garlic naan. $65.00... Yikes. for three meals that consisted of rice, 8 pieces of chicken and bread, this is seriously expensive. My wife noted, we're likely not going to be ordering much here for these prices and I couldn't agree more. The prices are extreme for this area - for this style. The meal itself was very delicious and fulfilling. The $65.00 price tag stuck in my mind the whole time I'm chomping though... 'Is this worth this??' From my 22 y/o and wife's POV, the meals were mutually delish. They handed the meals over BTW in a nice clean, green to go shopping fabric bag that can be reused - love those! Aside from the pricing, the meal took nearly 20 minutes to receive; though, IMO being brand new, this is almost to be expected and I'm okay with that. As long as this is corrected over the next week or so. The manager stated the goal for food-to-customer timeline 'should' be between 8-11 minutes and knows they need to work out some kinks. I certainly believe with the fanfare, they're going to work on this. They really want this restaurant to survive where again, the dynamics here are A) very few sit down restaurants and B) primarily Mexican and pizza based. Come check this place out, enjoy some well cooked, delicious meals. We thoroughly enjoyed the meals but still concerned at the pricing. You decide after a run through... read more

I've loved this restaurant for years. I ate here again this past week and they've removed the high tables and replaced them with low tables. They are all separated and I felt comfortable eating in (corona). There were no other customers eating inside at the time, but a few people picked up to go orders and wore masks. I always get the single chicken tikka Q-roll and a side of rice. I get the double roll if I want leftovers. I love the white and green sauces to add to the roll. My mom got the chicken tikka masala and loved it. It was too tomato-y for me but I don't normally order this dish out anyway. read more

I like the food (not love but like). I thought I would go here seeing I work around here this will be super convenient if I just order a big order for family that's in town on my way home. The order was called in around 2 for a pickup at 4:30.......Oh it's 4:53 and I'm still here waiting for my $&@$ food. They didn't prepare anything and complaining will do no good seeing they don't really care about your feelings (I've always seen and known it). I paid $176 for a super late meal!!!!! I'm done with this place and will never come here again even if it's convenient (because it's not!). Oh it's 4:57....no food yet. Can I get a discount or a free smoothie?! What eves! I'm done and you should avoid this place. Go to other Indian food places then here or the better U of A area places to eat. It's not even busy too!! read more

Ordered take out from here last night and ordered Lamb Saag and Cheese Naan. I love Indian food so I was excited eat here. I was very disappointed. The Saag didn't taste fresh, lacked any kind of spice (heat) and the naan was weird and tasted the same. Would not eat here again. read more

This place is a good authentic Indian place. I go there time to time just for the lamb curry and garlic naan. Food tastes good. Today I accidentally ordered medium spicy lamb curry which I typically order mild. It was very hot. I am not hot spice tolerant person. I could not even finish the dish. I cannot even imagine about full spicy one. If you are not good at eating hot spicy food, you should definitely choose mild choices. This place is not fine dining or family gathering type of place. If you are looking for authentic Indian food, it is a good choice. There is almost no service for the customers. The place is a self-serving type of place. I wonder why the cashiers expect tip from the customers. I would give them 3.5 stars for overall. Their food deserves 4.5 stars read more

I got the lamb with rice and it was good. The tables are flimsy and definitely wasn't a super good working environment.

A solid choice for Indian food. I ordered the mild lamb korma, which was excellent. We did delivery, and they seem to have mislabeled a few of the dishes, so some people ended up getting medium spice when they wanted mild. Other than that, the food was very solid. Definitely a place I wouldn't mind going to again. I personally did not get the garlic naan, but was told it was also delicious. read more

I have been eating here for years upon years. When I cannot get off campus to Shere-E-Punjab, this is my go-to spot. And since the renovation of last year or so, the space and -- somehow -- the service have improved substantially. My favorite about the new space: gorgeous windows that let in natural, bright light, and I've developed quite the affinity for the bright green chairs there. What to know? This is a small, super casual and speedy restaurant. And, after placing your order, you can be sure that your food will be prepped and ready to go within 10 minutes or so. My favorite is the saag. Doesn't matter if you have it with chicken, paneer or whatever else, the dish always carries a lovely flavor, with a hint of mustard seed. Nice. But where are the issues? The place can get crammed very quickly during the lunch rush. That makes for too many awkward situations. Also, the veggie samosas and the tikka masala are strangely flat on the flavor. Just...not interesting at all. I hear the tikka masala is the most popular dish. How?! There is SO MUCH MORE going on with the menu offerings, I cannot believe the tikka is the go-to item here. The tomato sauce flavor is strong with this one. The bonuses? I've had great luck with the curry and korma. The aloo matar and the biryani are also quite nice. And the Q-roll -- brilliant addition! It's yummy, spice-enduced flavor wrapped in a thin bread-like tortilla with crisp lettuce and this glorious sauce. Seriously?! Perfect for lunch. Try the lamb and haryali rolls. Yum-yum. Also important to note: You have the option of mild, medium or spicy. I tend to go with medium, but find that I often wish I had gone a bit more spicy than that. I was raised in Los Angeles. Tobasco sauce is a fun flavor additive. Dave's Insanity offers just an enjoyable rise. ("Give me the habanero, I say, or give me death!") So, for me, the spice often runs mild and dry at Kababeque. What else is important to mention? The favorite and enjoyable naan! You have the option of plain naan, or a whole selection of flavorings, like cheese, japapeno, lamb, aloo and other naans. Seems the garlic naan is pretty popular here. I have not tried anything other than the plain naan. It's pretty amazing. The size of two adult faces for a little more than $2. Nice pricing there. So, yes, highly recommended, especially if you are on campus or visiting campus. read more

I ordered the chicken tikka roll, large size. The chicken was very very tender and had a good tandoori flavor, however the mild sauce added detracted from the overall meal, giving it more of a Bolognese type tomato flavor.
