Kabab N Curry

This Indian restaurant is a gem! We stumbled upon it by chance but it’s definitely going to be our go-to spot when I want comforting Indian-style food. Their dishes are consistently amazing, served piping hot, and the service is top-notch. Plus, the prices are surprisingly reasonable for this area. If you crave comforting Indian cuisine, this is the place to be.

Let me just say 5 things about this place . Outside look so small and lot of park space. Once I enter the door . It was like wow so cute and cleaned 😍 place . Like so super Clean. The own 🙏 welcome us in and he was super nice . Telling us about this restaurant . It was super beautiful pic with many pictures of cooking and old pictures . Which was interesting. The waits was so nice and they also make sure that we are doing good while waiting for the food. And we order shrimp biryan and shrimp korma . Here are some pictures of the place and the food. I was here on visit and thought of trying this Indian restaurant and I was so surprised by their food . I will be back soon.

A FOODIE’S FIND OF A SURPRISINGLY DELIGHTFUL NORTH INDIAN (subcontinent) CUISINE. 😎😎😎. The cooking here has the imprint of the Punjab Region of the Indian Subcontinent. BUT unlike most of self-labeled Indian/Pakistani eateries in Pittsburgh (and America really) where the food is almost always salty, overuse of coconut milk, untempered use of chilies and very greasy, FOOD HERE IS ABSOLUTELY FRAGRANT, SAVORY AND SO WELL BALANCED 🤩🤩🤩. There’s that fragrance from the mix of spices one comes to expect from Indian cooking, BUT DOES NOT turn pungent after a few minutes or that sticks on clothes after the meal👏👏👏. Our Tandoori Luncheon is fantastic👌👌👌👌The meats (chicken and beef) are juicy and tender, with real touches of charring from a tandoor. Not a hint of grease….Clearly NOT the griddle/pan fried stuff that some other eateries do. The jasmine rice is surprisingly vibrant and savory👍👍👍. And the Naan is oven fresh and crispy without the greasy taste or feel. The highlight I thought is the Bhindi Aachumri🤩🤩🤩. It’s the best Indian Okra dish I’ve had in all my travels. … It’s not the usual Masala, but almost a simple sauté but with delicate spices and a hint of mango…WOW. The restaurant itself has lovely ambience. Simple decor, brightly lit dining room. Very clean floor 👏👏👏. Service is outstanding!!!

Here's y review from October, 2023 --- Been here several times now and dinner service definitely isn't their strong suit... I say that because the times I've been during dinner, they seem to only have one server working the dining room, while the owner just hangs out behind the counter playing on his phone. It's tough for me, because I value service as much as the food, but I will say that they do an excellent job with their food! I'm Pakistani, so I prefer Pakistani food over Indian food and this place definitely fits the bill! The depth of flavor is present, so is the menu and all the items they have on it! Their roti is on point, Karahi is nicely done, palack has a great texture and flavor too. Only issue with their food is their watered-down yogurt mint chutney, which really should be thicker. I'll still give them 4 stars; even though their service is worth 2 stars, the food is worth 6 stars! ______________________________________________________________ This was my review from March, 2023 --- I absolutely love good Pakistani food (since I’m Pakistani) and when I was in the Pittsburgh area and heard there was a Pakistani/Indian place, I needed to try it! All the reviews are excellent about this place, which also hinted that it was worth trying, but I also understand that so many don’t understand the true Pakistani flavor and simply putting a masala in something makes people rave about it, but that doesn’t accurately represent its authenticity. I came on a Friday night and they were very busy, but not packed. Service from the order taker (there’s table service, but after being seated, I literally waited 15 mins before she came back to take my order) was very slow. After placing my order, the food came out in decent time. I opted for veggie biryani, roti, and chicken karahi. I asked for water to drink and they brought warm bottle of water, which I suppose it good. My order came out and I asked for chutney and got yogurt mint chutney which was watery, but the flavor was decent… it’s the type of chutney (tho too thin) I do prefer. The raita that came with the biryani was very bland and boring, only having red onions in it, no cucumber and no coriander. I asked for medium as a heat level of my biryani and hot as a heat level for my chicken karahi and both seemed medium. The kahari was actualy a more basic chicken curry, definitely didn’t resemble a chicken karahi I’ve ever had. Karahi has way more tomatoes in it and those offer a nice chunky texture, as well as a sweet note, curry doesn’t have this. What I got tasted and looked more like basic chicken curry. The roti was really nice, not the best I’ve had, but it was pretty legit. The biryani was also excellent. And their white rice had a fair amount of coriander added to it and it was truly basmati. While eating, the manager came over to check on me and brought me some Sooji Halwa, which was decent… not as sweet as I’d prefer, but it was nice. I asked for some ras malai and they had it, so I ordered some and that tasted great (It’s one of my favorite desserts, period!). The only issue is the patties were tiny and they only give you two and it’s $6! That’s ridiculous as in the DC area you get 2 full size (like ¼ burger patty size) patties for that price. Overall, the experience was decent, but far from the best I’ve ever had and I don’t know that it’s worthy of all the rave reviews it gets… that just tells me they need more Pakistanis in the area to open restaurants… though I feel this is a northern Indian place serving Panjabi style food, not Pakistani. Regardless, it’s the best I’ve had in the Pittsburgh area, so I’ll be back.

I’m still sitting here and writing the review… 🤤 Everything here is amazing 🤩 I love food, presentation, restaurant environment and all about here 😊 Our waiter is a very kind person and answer all of our questions. We went with their popular items and were not disappointed at all! All the foods were delicious and yummy 😋 Highly recommended 👍🏻 And we will be back again to try their indian style pizza 😁 I’m super curious 🧐

Came here from the UK and craving some authentic style pakistani/indian which I found to be harder to find over here in the USA. This was some of the most tastiest and perfectly cooked food we had in the USA and would absolutely recommend to anyone in Pittsburg. Customer service was extremely friendly and they helped accommodate us through the menu. Facilities were very clean and organised. If I come to Pittsburgh again, I know where to go.

We greatly enjoyed our time at Kabab & Curry. I brought my parents who have never tried Indian food but wanted to experience it. Our server, Sai, was attentive and polite. We started with the flavorful Samosa Chaat. For dinner, we ordered Mango Lassi, Ginger Beer, Chicken and Gosht Korma, Chicken and Paneer Tikka Masala, Chicken Kofta, Chicken Karahi, and Tandoori Roti. Everything was delicious and pleasantly spiced. I didn't think our meals were too spicy (ordered medium), but my parents (ordered mild) thought the food was a little "hot." They both agreed, however, that they weren't used to Indian food, loved the flavors, and probably would grow to love the heat. Although this was their first time eating Punjabi food, my parents are looking forward to returning to try more! That speaks volumes. For dessert, the Gulub Jaman and Kheer are sweet treats that help cleanse and cool the palate. The Gulub Jaman was served warm, which I enjoyed. Thank you, Sai, for a wonderful dining experience! We will be back.

Very Good food and friendly waitress. We tried it and everything was very good. Prices were good, it would be nice if they had a sampler type dish for the inexperienced. Lots of folks were eating here that appeared to have ethnic backgrounds from the regions the food represents. I always hope to find folks that know what the food should taste like to know if its authentic and good. I would recommend eating here.
