We ordered a take out of 3 items: cow feet(gelatinuous) lamb kebab, would prefer it to be more tender. beef shank(spicy), is my fav. I also took a pic of other people's table that dined in,love the presentation.Their naan bread ia fabulous, tender&garlicky. The place is spacious and looks clean. You can see nice stacks of big chunks of kebabs when they are raw on their display as well. Other food in the pic are misc items from other middle eastern grocery earlier in the day.

Cute little spot that is good for dine in and carry out. And - the price is right! Each entree was under $13 on a Saturday night, and portions are very generous. We had essentially an entire meal leftover between the 2 of us to take home . Try finding that value at any other place! Dining area was clean and comfortable with plenty of seating and tables that can seat large groups. Spice level is decent, which we appreciated. :) Other reviews mentioned a language barrier but we didn't experience that. In fact, counter service was extremely friendly and the manager came over to check with us before we left on how our meals were. We will definitely be back!

The chicken Karahi for 2 is sooooo good. The chicken is savory and spicy and is perfect to eat with naan. You really could just buy it for yourself and save half for dinner later. Or you can bring a friend and share haha You can ask for it boneless or bone in but I recommend bone in. It always comes out piping hot! You can adjust the spice level as well. They also have really good daily specials so it's a good incentive to come back different days of the week. They staff are kind and helpful. The interior is decorated cutely and has lots of seating.

Kabob N' Karahi is one of our go-to spots for delicious Indian and Pakistani cuisine. We're regulars at their Silver Spring location, so when we discovered their new outpost in Flower Hill Shopping Center, we couldn't wait to try it. Every dish here is a winner, but nothing beats their freshly baked Naan and rich, flavorful Goat Karahi. If you're craving authentic, satisfying food, this place never disappoints!

Chicken Biryani

After a good day of prayer, I stopped by for some food. The cashier didn't seem too friendly when I asked about the menu, but I still gave it a try. The chicken was average and a bit greasy, and the salad was just okay. Unfortunately, as I was leaving, I noticed a roach near my seat. That's completely unacceptable especially for a halal spot.

Very generous portions, super friendly staff, bread tastes fresh. Keep in mind though, the meat tends to contain the bones inside. Everything tasted really fresh and flavorful. Excellent price.

My new favorite spot. This was the square I grew up in and haven't been back in ages, but we wanted to venture out and try something new. So glad that we did! The inside is clean and spacious and looks new. They have high back booths so you have privacy and they have enough seating for large groups. The person who took our order was nice and patient with us since we were completely new to the type of cuisine, but we ended up grabbing the Boneless Chicken Karahi for two which came out to 30.73. It was made to order so we were able to tweak the spice level and took about 15 minutes. My gosh! The flavor was on point and strong. The flavor did not depend on the spice level and that made it fragrant and delicious. Like the other review stated, the food is absolutely delicious. The naan was also freshly made and it was soft and crispy on the bottom. Still thinking about this meal and wanting to come back. We were able to try the chai as well. I would get this again. It pairs nicely with meal and it does have milk in it so do be aware of that. Overall, I am glad I found this place. I had been looking for a new place to eat delicious food. This to me, is my new hidden gem.

Lamb kabob and Chicken Tikka combo with rice and chickpeas.

I went again and got the goat curry special and the Seekh kabob. It was delicious! The Seekh is very springy and well seasoned, which to me is an indicator of a good Seekh kabob. The goat curry was a very solid portion, with plenty of meat. It was also well seasoned and the flavors were on point. This is my new favorite spot in MoCo. My only complaint is that the way my food was packaged was not very well thought out lol. The goat curry was sitting atop of the kabob box in the bag. It spilled out a bunch of oil into the bag and subsequently my car. My only word of advice for the owners is to use a separate container to the curries, as they spill out of the side too easily in these containers. Services is still great as the person who took my order was very nice, repeated everything back to me and confirmed my totals.

Chicken Boti Kabob
Amy S.

This place just opened (12/15). I visited the place a few days later. You order and pick up at the counter. They still need to work out the ordering process. There seemed to be a disconnect. I waited forever to place an order, and there were only two people in front of me. There is plenty of seating available. They have a refrigerated case showing all the raw kabobs and few prepared dishes. I wanted the butter paneer, which was on the menu, but was told I could not get that. They didn't really say why. I ended up getting the butter chicken, which was one of the prepared dishes. I also got the Chicken Boti Kabob and vegetable samosas. All were delicious, but I was disappointed since I had my heart set on a paneer dish. I will give it a try again, and hopefully, they have the ordering process ironed out.

This is a great spot for authentic karahi from Pakistan. While I don't know my karahi all that…read morewell (being from India), having been around the DMV area, I have been disappointed with the chicken-version of karahi. Even the recently opened and popular Karahi Boys in Sterling, VA made a somewhat disappointing chicken karahi (although their goat karahi was on-point). Not here though. This place offers three karahi options or styles- makhani/butter, Shinwari, and Butt- with chicken or goat meat. My wife and I picked the chicken Butt karahi and a side of the Lahori chana/chickpeas. The order took around 25 min to fulfill, but it was well worth the wait. The karahi was wonderful with a wonderfully coated thick gravy that clung very well onto the chicken, with the ubiquitousness of warming savory peppery spice in each bite, hiding a slight hint of sour-sweet note that would come at the back end, and made us forget about the disappointing ones we'd eaten previously. The Lahori chana, like many of the chickpea preparations in Northern India and Pakistan, was perfectly spiced with that effervescent note of the baking soda in which the chickpeas were cooked. All in all, a wonderful afternoon meal at a spot that is highly likely to be very frequented by us often. The goat karahi, charga, and rest of their BBQ menu will definitely be on our agenda next. If there was something to rue about, it was the lack of clientele when we went around 1:30-ish pm on a Saturday- not exactly lunch hour but we'd have expected to see more people there (although people were coming in sporadically for pick-up orders). I will highly recommend this place to people to go and try some wonderful Pakistani cuisine and keep the place in business. I, however, will advise against ordering any of the typical North Indian/British Indian staples, like butter chicken or tikka masala even if they're on the menu. Ask the wait staff for recommendations and focus on the Pakistani BBQ and karahi, which is what they're famous for and you'll have a much better experience.

I know they're known for their Indian/Pakistani food but they make a solid burger too. My mom…read morealways orders food from here (even when it was eastern kebab) and it's always been good. I ordered for takeout and it was ready in 20 mins. Plenty of parking outside too.

Im updating my review!…read more When you had a hectic Manic Monday...you do not wanna cook dinner. I love Indian food. However on this particular visit I was soo indecisive. Do I want butter chicken, Do I want tandoori or tiki masala?? But then something caught my eye! I saw Briyani and I had it many times before from my sister's group and I absolutely devour it. So , I took a chance. The nice young lady working there was so patient with me changing my mind. So I got lamb briyani, garlic naan, mango lassi, and Rasmalai.(dessert) My spice level has gone down through the years as my tummy cant take spice as it used too :( Had no idea it came with Raita ..a cool yogurt sauce. Similar to tzakiki. We took our dinner home.. and then lamb briyani ( rice dish ) was amazing! It was plentiful. I had leftovers the next day. If your indecisive and need dinner ideas, get this... get it with lamb. Lamb was flavorful and tender. 5 stars.

We ordered plenty of appetizers. All delicious. For apps we ordered the Salmon Tikka, and the Fish Fry. The Fish fry was my favorite. They used tilapia fish which was very well seasoned. The salmon Tikka was delicious as well as it had great flavor and cooked to perfection. For our entrees I ordered lamb curry spicy and garlic naan. I absolutely love their naan. The lamb curry was good and flavorful but was not at the level of spice that I desired unfortunately. I asked for really spicy and I received mild spice. For dessert we ordered the rice pudding, gulab jamnun, and the carrot pudding. The rice pudding was my favorite. It was very light and refreshing with just the right amount of sweetness. The carrot pudding and the gulab were good but not really my thing. The ambiance was great. Spice Life is a dine in and take out restaurant. Many people dine in during the evening hours so their weren't a lot of people during lunch time when we visited. However, it was still a good time. They had good music playing and some games playing on the tv. Of course I will visit again soon! Cheers!

How in the world have I never Yelped this place? I literally order take out from them weekly…read more I'm going to prefix this review that if you're the kind of person who thinks Moby Dick has great, authentic food... you shouldn't come here. Kabob n Karahi uses authentic spices, and what you get is like the difference between chef boyardee and actually going to Italy. This is a very local chain, and the restaurant honestly feels a bit like a high school cafeteria. It's probably not the place to go for a date night. :) This is why I have gotten take out 47191 times and eaten there once. The food is amazing, and going in does have the benefit that they'll often have specials not in the menu. I'm currently polishing off a lamb kabob, and I actually found a black cardamom pod in it. That's such a different flavour than you'll get most places (and despite the name, it's not cardomom). It's rich in sumac and just YUM. Stop in and grab dinner in the way home, for something flavourful, unique, authentic and just plain different.

After being put on hold multiple times, I politely explained that I was short on time and asked if my order could be prepared a little sooner. His rude response was to tell me to order online next time. This is not the first time I've experienced this behavior from him. As a loyal customer, I find this treatment disrespectful and unacceptable. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and addresses the issue to improve customer service. & I would like to thank Manager Mr. Ibrahim for reaching out to me personally and taking the time to address my concerns. I appreciate his professionalism and his effort to make things right. He also kindly offered me a free chicken tikka on my next visit, which I appreciate as a gesture of goodwill. As a regular customer, I value good food as well as respectful customer service. I hope the management will ensure that this type of experience does not happen again and that every customer is treated with courtesy and respect.

Unfortunately, the dinner Combo noted at the top of the menu as an add-on was not available so we didn't get to taste the wider variety of foods we had hoped. Not sure why that was not available. It doesn't appear to be a lunch only option by the text on the menu. We ordered the Minerva Lamb Special, and the Chattinad Salmon Curry initially. A bit later we added the Paneer Masala Dosa. The food did not disappoint! The lamb was tender and the sauce flavors were not overwhelming but the perfect complement. I normally don't consider salmon to be a good curry protein but this dish was delish! The salmon was not overcooked and it didn't disappear in the sauce. Three cheers for daughter's choice! The dosa was huge with a scoop of paneer curry in the middle. We enjoyed breaking off crisp pieces to dip in the accompanying chutnryb& sandu. We obviously had leftovers and were provided with the perfect containers, including condiment cups for the chutneys and dips, to transport our dinner home for son to enjoy. This place was a bit of a drive for us but I would consider a revisit if in the area again.

And I would say that even if I was not using coupon. We started with soups: mulligatawny and Sambar. Both were delicious. Then we shared an appetizer of Ginger Shrimp. The shrimp were lightly fried and coated with a delicious coating. Not "overly" gingered for me. The appetizer came with two sauces (one spicy and one sweeter) that were good, but I didn't think were needed because the shrimp were good on their own. For entrees, we got the Palak Paneer (mild) and Chicken Tikka Masala (medium spice). Again, both were delicious. The rice accompanying the entrees was well prepared. We ordered a Garlic Naan that was deliciously garlicky. The soups and appetizer mostly filled us up, so we took the entrees home and had them for lunch the next day. Everything microwaved well (including the rice) and the leftovers were outstanding. Service is overall good. So now I can recommend both for lunch buffet and for dinner.
