Kabab & Currys

The food here is quite good. I prefer to carry out though bc I find the restaurant is always packed and poorly lighted. However, we love their lamb biryani (its the best) and one order for 10-11 bucks will feed my husband, toddler, and myself. Definitely a must try.

This is the best restaurant in Bay Area for Indian food. The owners are from Delhi and cook the food themselves.

We were passing through and found this place. Excellent food at right price.

Good food, shoulder parking and hole in the wall expanded a lil restaurant, ordered mutton biryani, mutton curry n chicken tikka that tasted like shahi chicken for some reason, but overall good, a new business location would help a lot

Very slow service. Not that clean. Food is excellent but only go there if you have lots of time and don't mind unclean environment. I wish they would take care of the ambience as food price is very expensive. There was hardly any meat in my goat/lamb curry.

The service was really slow but the food more than made up for it. Really tasty Lamb chops and Chicken saag. The chops were quite unlike i have had for a while with desi spices and very tender. The naan was good along with kababs.

Salamu Aleikum, Great food. Tandoori is the best they say, and we agree. Bit crowded(like all places with great food), but overall good experience, the tall Ethiopian brothers that serve make it a fun experience! Behind Masjid Al Noor, sop you can pray as well. But please eat after the prayer:)

Excellent food! But very slow on service and even when you order on the phone they never pick up the phone then the order itself takes a long time too. Hmm but I still love it! I really wish their service was faster :/

BEWARE DECEPTIVE when it comes to carry out and catering! I used to go to this place they do have many good dishes. BUT they have very slow service and the food will be served in bit and pieces and not together at the same time. Also they are deceptive when it comes to Catering. I ordered Mutton Biryani. Took the food home to distribute to fasting friends. I later realized that there was bones but NO Meat. I was embarrassed as this is a meat dish and friends would think I was giving them leftovers. The Biryani was not up to the standard. When I called to complain to the owner Usman, he was extremely rude with me and hung up the phone. Not only was he rude he refused to accept my complaints. He refused to accept his mistake. He has no word politeness in his dictionary. In the past also he had given me burnt breads two times. Because he has a roaring business he does not care about it.

Great food, original taste. Nice wait staff. Michelin review is a big plus. I wish there was more variety in the lunch buffet though.

If you want some really good indo/pak food in santa clara, then this is the place. Food is excellent and awesome. The downside is that service is extemely slow and most of the time they run out of biryani/haleem/nahari during dinner. We were lucky enough to grab on to biryani and it was really good.

Good food, nice clean place. But it is a bit pricey for what you get and the service was slow as well.

very very slow service....food was okay. but please improve on service.

Wow. This is how food is supposed to be. Best chicken biryani and Chicken Tikka Masala

Five Star Briyani!

You gotto try Biryani. It is the best in US. Nobody makes biryani as good as kabab and curry. I usually eat sweep paan too. It gets crowded during lunch. You may not even get a seat if you go after 12.30.

Kabon & Curry offers one of the best Biryanis in Bay area. I am eating at this place for last 3 years, they have consistently maintained the same taste and quality.

I've been to at least 30 Indian restaurants in my life, so I'm pretty critical of Indian food -- this is hands-down my favorite Indian restaurant. The kababs here are the best (Chicken breast/leg quarter, both seekh kabab). I always enjoy the lamb curry that I have, too. If lamb biryani is being served, you're in for a treat. The other biryanis are great, too. Complaints about the portions are unfounded -- SO much food for the price. (I challenge you to have a plate of biryani and tell me you weren't super full afterward.)

Very slow service and food is OK. Buffet takes a while to refill. I don' know what the fuss is about a line for Buffet? I haven't seen any lines during my multiple visits.

I have been going here every since they opened up back in '01......Your typical "Mom and Pop" shop......Although the set-up is tight and the building is not that attractive it has really nice South Asian food.....I would say the best thing and the main thing to go for is the lunch and dinner buffet.....I believe that is only thing I have ever gone for --- as it is great food for a decent price.....This place is also only 1/2 a block from Masjid Anoor which makes it very convenient as well.

Many people recommended this restaurant recently to me and I went there last weekend. I think the food is good. Service really sucks though. I wouldn't say food is excellent but definitely better than most of the places around especially some overrated places. I definitely recommend this place to people. I had Chicken Tikka Masala and Aaloo matar and both were very good (recommended by a friend). I will like to try b b q items next time to see if they are good too.

Good food, slow service! Not buying the whole bandwagon stuff...

The best and most authentic Indian muslim food in the bay area, period! I've been eating at this place even before I moved to the Bay area about 4 years ago and I still love it. They have the best chicken and Lamb Biryani I have had this side of the Pacific! The service is slow so I usually order takeout. The owners are very friendly and well known in the community. This also happens to be my son's (7yr) fav restaurant.

I've been here a few times and the food is consistently pretty good. I went here for the lunch buffet today, and agree with some of the other reviewers, that it gets very crowded and the service is a bit on the slow side, but not that bad. The food was tasty, but I did notice that the naan did not have butter on it...yes I'm being picky...but you start noticing these small details when you've been to as many Paki restaurants as I have. Also good to note that they do take credit card, although the owner told me they prefer cash for bills under $15.00 (the buffet was $8.00).

The food is really good. The service is really really bad and slow. The Friday lunch buffet is the best thing.

We have to been Kabab and Curry many times but always order to go since the service is slow. Food is excellent and they have the best Lamb Briyani in the Bay area. We always compliments with Lamb Kadai and Butter Chicken. If you want to order to-go, always call 1 hr in advance and expect to wait 15-30 mins before you get your order. Sometimes, they give your order to others who came late but insisted on their order. Owner is friendly but seem too busy to smile to customer. Highly recommended for any Muslim bro and sister.

the food is very good, their service is a lil slow.. but the food makes up for the service... If the owners see this PLEASE add the deserts to your menu.. the mango pudding is ridiculous!

Best indian food at California. Thier Lamb biryani is great. Whoever comes to bay area, I have successfuly impress them with good food by treating at Kabab and Curry

Good food, bad service. Food is really tasty but the service is very slow.

Very crowded during lunch time, go early for lunch - I never had such a tasty Tandoori Chicken. Price for buffet is very reasonable.

great food - i like the chicken tikka masala, tandoori chicken, and aloo mater. prices are pretty good, service is average

I've been going to Kabab and Curry for years now, and honestly it's the best indian/pakistani food I've ever eaten. I tried other restaurants and I keep going back to KC. Everything is great, the tandoori chicken, korma, masala, nana...etc. The only thing I would have to say, is that the service is a little bit slow, specially when ordering to go. I'm not complaining, just an observation, and I understand they get many orders and it takes time to complete them. One suggestion is to add more items to the menu, such as a soup item (daal maybe), samosa, ...etc. I highly recommend the place. When you go there, you have to be patient with the service, but the quality of the food is unsurpassed. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

The food is excellent but I'm giving it a low rating because the service stinks. You cannot sit in this place, it has no decor nor does it seem to have a ventilation system. Even if we wait there for five minutes for takeout we wind up smelling until our next shower. Even if you order on the phone, they will sell your portion to the next in person customer and give you a different dish when you come in... which is just stupid.

I was not at all impressed with this restaurant when I realized that on a Saturday night (which obviously shows a full house) there was only one man taking orders, phone calls, and cleaning up...the rest of the "employees" were happily conversing with people entering the restaurant..Other than that though, the food was quite good...

Decent food decent prices..what more to expect..if you dont like it cook for yourself...awesome food....

Food is excellent. perhaps they should improve service

Clean interiors, decent seating, good service and great food. Prices are a little on the high side and a good meal for two can cost $25-30. Otherwise ok!

Thanks for your comment about our service. We apologize for the inconvenience that occurred on that particular day. It is due to customers like you that give us feed back and have constantly motivated us to improve our services over the years and provide good quality food. Your loyalty and patience has motived us to maintain good food quality. We will do our best to provide you with better services in future.

my statement towards kababand curry is very slow. i order 2 chicken korma and 4 nans togo on the phone around 7:15pm and they told me to pick up around 7:45pm on the way i called them again as usual they told they need 15 more minutes i think they need to improve service for faster food or call 1 day before so you can get it next day. thank you hope to hear from you my email address is munwarws@hotmail.com :

My favorite place for lunch. My colleague is Bosnian, and he loves the buffet. The service has improved a lot. The Naan was the problem before, they could'nt make it fast enough. But I was there again today, and naan production was adequate. Price is reasonable for buffet.

Not bad at all

Poor service. You have wait for the whole night just to give the order. They don't care about customers waiting time. Sometimes they behave rude.

ASAK. Food is excellent, specially their Kadai Chk, Kadai Gosht and Seekh Kabab are excellent, I go there whenever I am in town for work. ONly down side is I end up eating too much. It reminds me of a couple of good resturants around Crawford Market in Bombay.

Consistently popular since it opened. If you don't see crowds coming in, you cannot mistake the captivating kabob aroma in the neighborhood. Nice variety of meat and vegetarian dishes. While the ambiance may not make it ideal for dinner with your CEO, the restaurant delivers on what it projects itself to be. A place for excellent food at very reasonable prices.

the food is great! went for buffet lunch and took more than a plate. definitely had my full! buffet lunch is just $7 w tax. highly recommended.

Food is delicious and spicy. Do not take more than one plate even if you are still hangry. It may disturb you later. Service is below average, but I still go there becasuse of the quality of food.

Tandoori chicken has no authentic Punjabi taste and no salads served or available.. nan quality is not crispy..service extremely poor. To compare likewise food, visit Shalimar (Fremont) to get value for money spent.

Went there 12/27/03. Ordered Tandoori chicken with naan, butter chicken and lamb curry. Tandoori chkn was awesome even just to look at, and it was definitely delicious. Naans were exceptional. The lamb curry was average while the butter chicken was reallllly good. There is a family room in the back if you have a large group and prefer some privacy. A masjid is about a minute's walk from there.

it is a an awesome restaurant i loved it. food is great and people are very friendly. i recommend everyone to go there.

Service was extremely slow, called in advance and still had to wait another half an hour for a to go order. The last straw was when I got the runs, Hygene is not at the top of their priority list.

MMmmmmm... Best Nanas and Bitter chicken I'v ever had.. Their Seekh kabab is awesome.. They need to improve on their service. But you can always call them in advance..

Good food at reasonable prices. But customer service, friendliness and courtesy needs a lot of improvement. It looks like they are doing a favor by running the restaurant instead of catering to customer needs. Quality of food however ensures 4 stars.

Ridiculous slow service but excellent food if you don't mind waiting. It is the place to eat. Please support our fellow halal meat servers - we need more of them!

These guys are very friendly and have a great lunch buffet during the week. The Saturday biryani is great and the kabobs everyday are awesome.

Excellent food. One of my TOP favs in Bay Area. But waiting time is more and horrible

Very good food. Service is slow but have buffet for lunch so does not matter. For other times best to order food, pray in the mosque right adjacent and come back to avoid waiting for food. Owner is religious.

"The food is excellent. I work in the Santa Clara area and this place is an excellent choice for having lunch. The afore mentioned slow service does not come into play if you go there for their lunch buffets. Eat all you like and enjoy every morsel. Especially their "aalo-matar" dish. Excellent. I've only started liking this dish once I tried it here. Otherwise I'm a strict meat eater."

Have eaten here on three occasions and think that food is very good. The folks are nice and try hard but the service is indeed quite slow. These folks are quite busy with a steady flow of take-out orders as well not to mention the eat-in crowd. Overall, I would surely recommend this place except when one is in a hurry.

Usually because of their EXTREMELY slow service we used to avoid Kabab & Curry. But we went there 4-5 days ago, the service was excellent. The food was as usual very good. Just hope that they keep it up.

"They serve excellent Barbq Chicken Tika, great sikh kabab and chicken tika masala. The only problem is the wait. If the resataurant is full, expect waits (while sitting on your table) of up to 50 minutes before the food is served. However if it's not that busy they're service is good enough."

Have been patronizing this restaurant - good food but bad service. Not much choice from the menu, yet the service is way too slow. Lunch buffet went out of food for almost 30 minutes, on my day bringing out few friends. Owner must pay attention to the service complaint to ensure business went well.

"I have been eating there since September of 2000 and have been satisfied with the food every single time. The service is kind of slow, but they're working on that. In terms of food, this is the best food I have ever tasted. I especially like the Lamb Korma, chicken tikka and naan. Their naan are particularly tasty. I often take my co-workers there for lunch."

"We've been eating here from time to time, and the food has been consistently good. The service is great and the restaurant is relatively clean. They go out of their way for you."

Mom & Pop shop. Not well organized. Be prepared to start eating one hour after placing your order. Stopped going there, when portions started shrinking, and quality deteriorated.

Good Kebabs and Tandoori Nan. The Nan is excellent for the weight watchers amongst us as they were not buttered. The Chicken Tikka is fair but could do with some extra marination.I will try out their buffet offerings soon and report further.
