    Paneer (cheese) Tikka Masla, Bullet Naan, Dal Fry
    Paige K.

    Veggie Samosa, 3 huge homemade pockets, fried to perfection, soft and crispy. Incredible flavor and dipping sauce balanced the spices nicely. Tikka Masala can be served with paneer as a vegetarian option! Use naan for dipping! Dal Fry is the best I've. Not only were the flavors incredible but the texture was in tact. Too many Indian restaurants water down the lentils. I was most pleased with the thickness. The spices in the food are just right, not too hot to destroy my taste buds, but just hot enough for my nose to run. I do recommend a lassi. It helps cool the pallet. The husband took my order was very kind and patiently answered all my questions. His wife later spoke to me and was equally kind, told me all about Thumbs Up soda. If you drink soft drinks, you should try one. Leftovers were great when reheated!

    This place still better be standing when the Covid curve flattens. I haven't been able to order food from her because I'm not near anymore but it quickly became a hang out place with amazing food for me and my family. If you're wondering whether or not to order from here, you should because you will not be disappointed in the flavors and quality, plus reasonable prices. For those of you wondering, they do have curb side pick up! Their food is always fresh and piping hot. The place itself is super clean and the owners dedicated to providing the best for their customers. You can be sure they're taking all the necessary precautions. You can pre order their specials on the phone and pay as well for no contact service. Check their insta page or Facebook page for daily specials and new hours. Support local! Yelp wanted us to re write reviews on our favorite local places that we would want to recommend for carry outs during this difficult time and this is number 1 on my list!

    Chicken Tikka Boti, naan and mixed vegetable curry.

    Excellent food and super friendly staff. It's run by a husband and wife team. I highly recommend it!

    This is a new Hoover restaurant that serves authentic Pakistani dishes (Babu Bhatt would be pleased). The restaurant opened in the location that was previously Paradise Biryani Pointe. The new owners have done an amazing job on the renovation of the old space. Everything is new and and clean. I love the neutral colors and especially the flannel grey wall color. The format is self-service, casual. You place your order at the counter and are given a card with a number. When your order is ready it is delivered to your table. The food is served on paper plates with plastic silverware. I don't think the disposable dish-ware is temporary. I had lunch with David L and his son Matthew on Wednesday. We started with the Beef and Aloo Samosa appetizers. The Beef Samosa are triangle shaped meat pies that contain a generous portion of seasoned ground beef. The beef had good flavor and a dense consistency. The Aloo Samosas stand up like a pyramid. They are filled with potato that is seasoned with yellow curry spices. We preferred the Aloo, and thought they were delicious. I ordered the Chicken Malai Boti and a side of Garlic Naan. I liked this dish a lot. Chicken thighs are deboned, sliced, and marinated in spices. The.meat is then threaded onto skewers and slow cooked in their Tandoori oven. The meat is then finished on the grill that gives each piece a nice char on the outside. The meat is served with two dipping sauces. One is a tamarind chutney and the second is a mint yogurt. The meat was very tender, and it had a strong, but balanced flavor from the unique Pak spices. I ordered Garlic Naan and it was a large, warm piece of goodness that was perfect complement. Service was excellent. This is a family owned and operated restaurant. We talked with the owner, and her name Ash. She is super friendly and helpful. She described various items on the menu and provided recommendations. Her husband is the chef and you can tell they have a great passion and love for what they are doing.

    The most recent Indian/Pakistani/Halal restaurant has landed in Hoover off Hwy 31. Not even a month old, Kabob-Licious Indo-Pak Grill rests in the same location as a previous Indian restaurant. They have gutted the entire place, remodeling with new floors, new paint and in the kitchen a special imported clay oven! There's a large mounted tv playing muted Bollywood videos and several tables scattered throughout. There's a mounted digital menu, a small refrigerator that held canned and bottle drinks with a self serv water dispenser on the ordering counter. You place your order at the counter, receive a number, find a seat and await your order. One of the owners, Ash, happened to be taking our order. She was very knowledgeable about every item on their menu with high praises for her mother-in-law who hand makes all their naan bread. We tried their beef and aloo samosas. The beef samosas were filled with marinated beef and spicy. I preferred their aloo samosas which were filled with mainly potatoes and peas cooked in a mild curry. Yom Yom Yom. Paul got the Chicken Tikka Boti. It was chunks of white meat marinated, grilled and tasted delicious. All our entrees were served with a yogurt and a tamarind dipping sauce. Matthew tried the Seekh kabob. Finely minced beef, marinated, then rolled into 2 large sausage looking rolls, they are then grilled and served. The beef sort of just melts in your mouth. Matthew's side of saffron rice was fluffy and flavorful. I tried the Behari kabob. The beef was again marinated in spices, onions, ginger and garlic so that it's very tender, grilled then served with yogurt and tamarind sauce. The beef was so spicy I almost couldn't taste the beef! I had to squeeze some lemon on it and then when eaten with my bread, was more palatable. My side of garlic naan was spot on. Service and hospitality was good. Everything in the restaurant is served on disposable dishes down to the cutlery. You're also politely asked to clear your own table upon completion of your meal. They have quite a few other entrees on their menu which I would have to inquire, but Ash could tell you about every single item in detail. They also have a short list of sweet desserts. Prices lean on the higher side, but you do get large portions. Welcome Kabob-Licious!

    chicken samosa fresh out! So hot and crispy!

    Tried this place again. This time around, decided to do dine-in. It was a great decision. Went with the Nihari (slow-cook beef shank in spices), saffron rice, chicken samosa, and garlic naan. Totally worth it. The meat was so tender and juicy. The sauce was perfectly spiced. I love the heat and it was made just right. Saffron rice and naan also served as great sauce-soakers :P. The chicken samosa were also very hot, crispy, and well-seasoned. Very flavorful. Will be back to dine-in again as the food was hot and fresh. Great service and staff!

    Well, this will be one of my new favorite places. Right up there with the gas station thai place! If you are looking for really good food at a great price, then look no further! Everything I had was delicious. Loved it all. Already fantasizing about going back! I came here for the first time for lunch with my friend. One of the owners was at the register. She was wonderful and explained all the dishes since I didn't know what some of them were. You place your order at the counter and they bring the food out to you. They offer a special at lunch which was pick one from each column of 3. I got the aloo samosa, the keema curry and the vegetable curry. Also came with your choice of rice or naan. I chose naan. My food came out quickly and everything was hot. I loved everything I had. It was great! I cleaned my plate. No leftovers. sigh My friend really liked her food too. I also ordered the chicken tikki masala for my friend. I told them to make it really spicy because she can stand the heat. I dropped it off at her work and watched her eat it. Didn't even break out a sweat. Lol. That girl has an iron stomach! She really loved it and said it was just right. The owners here are really wonderful and really care about their food and the customers experience. Can't wait to come back!

    My friend and I decided to meet for lunch at Kabob-licious after she had seen great reviews on Yelp. This restaurant is run by a family who was so personable and friendly when we visited. I will definitely visit again just because of their hospitality. The food was also amazing! Their menu is easy to navigate, and If you have questions about the different items, just ask they will gladly explain their dishes. There is also a screen with running pictures that shows you the different selections. This was very helpful and the main reason I decided on ordering the Chicken Boti and the Garlic Naan bread. We received our meal quickly. Nice to know if you're on a lunch hour. The presentation of the Chicken Boti with the red marinate made my mouth water. (Later I read that the red coloring is from beetroot powder.) The kabob was a nice portion and the chicken, chargrilled perfectly, was tender and juicy. The Garlic Naan bread was served warm (YUM!) and was super soft. Eat it together with the chicken and you have a perfect meal. Another favorite was the Bullet Naan bread. It was also served warm and has a spicy kick to it. Quick note - If you prefer your meals spicy and hot, they will turn up the heat for you. Just ask!

    Nihari, Beef Samosa, Garlic Naan, Gulab Jamun!! Best in the business

    Quite possibly the best meal you can get in Birmingham. Consistent each and every time. 1 order Nihari, 1 order beef samosa, 2 garlic naan, gulab jamun. Enough said. Not to mention the husband and wife (owners) are great people. Been frequenting this place since I moved back to the area 2 years ago. Make sure to speak with the owners next time you stop by!!

    Seekh Kabob

    Great local spot for Indo-Pak Grill. Fast friendly service in a clean environment. We had the Seekh Kabob, Aloo Samosas and Garlic Naan. Spicy, flavorful and perfectly cooked. Affordable prices as well. We'll be back.

    Chicken Malai Boti
    Kathleen C.

    This place is definitely a new hidden gem. Last Sunday we decided to stop by and try some new kabobs with Indian spices. We started with beef samosas and they were just spicy enough - not too hot and fried perfectly. I then went with chicken malai boti, saffron rice, and garlic naan. The chicken was on the milder side which was still spicy enough. What I love about this place is the great char on the meat and naan. Perfectly charred and not burnt. The owner is super friendly and helped explain the menu and was offering suggestions. The only reason I did not give this place a 5 star rating is they were out of several items (seafood) when we were there. I am sure that they would have been awesome if they were available. Eat here!!!

    Chicken Tikka Masala
    Virginia H.

    Kabob-licious is De-licious!! We ordered Chicken Biryani, Chicken Tikka Masala, and a plain Naan. Loved how the naan was made fresh and everything came out hot! The portion was reasonably sized and everything was super tasty, yum! The owners were very nice as well. We did ask for everything to be as NOT spicy as possible as we had two kiddos with us. Even at mild, one of the kiddos still can't handle the dishes that we ordered, so she just watched us eat. More for us! We will swing by Mickey D or something for her later LOL.

    My go-to Indian restaurant in Bham! The food is always consistent, and they are very generous with…read moretheir portion sizes. Even the kid's meal was big. I always get the boneless chicken biryani and their garlic naan is amazing highlyyyyy recommended

    Bawarchi is my go-to Indian restaurant in Hoover. They offer a great selection of traditional…read moreIndian dishes, and on weekends they sometimes feature special, authentic items that aren't always available. My favorite appetizers are the Chicken 65 and the Vegetarian Samosas. The Chicken 65 consists of bite-sized pieces of chicken breast that are fried and then tossed in a spicy sauce. It's served with chopped red onion and a cilantro garnish, making it perfect for sharing at the table. The Vegetarian Samosas are deep-fried pastries filled with green peas, potatoes, and Indian spices, with a noticeable curry flavor. They're served with a brown, tamarind-based dipping sauce that pairs perfectly with the filling. One entrée we love sharing is the dosa. A dosa is a lightly fried crepe, and there are about a dozen variations, each with different fillings and spice combinations. The dosas are served with several sides for dipping or eating with pieces of the crepe. The Tandoori Chicken Tikka Kebab is another favorite. The chicken is marinated, baked in a clay oven, and brought out steaming hot on a sizzling platter. In addition to the dishes mentioned, Bawarchi offers many other classic Indian favorites. One word of warning: if you order spicy, they mean it--the heat level can definitely light you up!
