The ambience was extraordinary! service was below normal as one person taking care of every customer. Food was horrible! We ordered chicken tikka , chicken hariyali kabab , lamb briyani , chicken briyani , roti, some veg entrees . Roti was like pappad(Indian chips) Everything came out as cold as it could be and I strongly recommend not anyone who like to taste Indian food to judge by this restaurant. This review is from 4 adults and 3 kids who hated their kids menu of Mac&cheese / chicken finger too!

The food was excellent. I eat A LOT of Indian and this was particularly good. I like spicy food and the “spicy” was the perfect amount of heat for me. It was a little warm in the restaurant, so if you sweat from spicy food I might suggest a little less heat. I arrived about 30 minutes before closing and the restaurant was deserted. I was by myself so I sat at the bar and ordered quickly as to avoid keeping them there past closing time. While I was keenly aware that it was almost closing time and I was the sole customer–I’ve worked in the service industry for years so it would be weird if I wasn’t acutely aware of this–the waitress was very nice and not pushing me to get out in the slightest. Sometimes when you’re the only customer servers can kind of be up your butt, but everyone just simply acknowledged me and went about biding their time before they could go home. I’m a little sad that the place was so dead because the food was exceptionally good and I hope they make it so I can return the next time I’m in town! Also, it’s very reasonably priced for the quality and portion size. Definitely check this place out!

Celebrated my son’s birthday tonight at this amazing restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious and the person who waited on us was the best! We loved the atmosphere. I highly recommend this restaurant for someone who enjoys Indian cuisine…..it was the best we have had in a long time!

Best lamb chops ever!! I came here with friends. I’m allergic to most things in Indian cuisine (spices, coconut milk, dairy) and they made me a special plate of pork chops and veggies. The veggies even though didn’t have seasoning was cooked perfectly and don’t get me started on those lamb chops! I don’t like lamb but decided to give it one more try and I’m glad I did! It was better than steak seriously! Service was great!

We were helped out by Chuck for our second time to Kabob Grill, both times everything was great. If you like Indian food you’ll find some of the best here. If you’re somebody who is sensitive to spicy foods, they make their dishes completely mild for folks who like no spicyness, and as spicy as you’d like. It can be difficult to get truly NOT spicy curry, they do it perfectly. Highly recommended, we’ll be going back here frequently 🙂

The service my husband and I received here was almost laughable. We waited almost an hour for our food, the waiter rarely showed his face, and didn’t offer any explanation or apology. Once the food came, it was mediocre. If you’re looking for Indian food in Wilmington, avoid this place and head to Tandoori Bites.

In short: good food can never make up for terrible customer service.

If I could give 0, I would. I have no idea why this place has a 4.8 and I never write reviews but felt I needed to voice our experience to save others their money (and stomachs). As a Wilmington native our fave place for Indian is Tandoori Bites, but this place seemed to have decent reviews so we tried it for date night. The service was deplorable! We did not get a drink menu, until we asked. We asked about beer specials and the waiter just brought us a random opened beer. For food we did the four course special, with garlic naan. Two of the courses were not what we ordered, and they never put our naan in until we asked about it when our main dishes came out. We sat for twenty minutes with no interaction from the server and I’m pretty sure the table behind us was just as upset when they asked for the manager when their server finally brought their appetizer out once they had finished their meal and were paying. The food was nothing worth the prices being charged. I had a vegetarian eggplant dish that was drenched in what tasted like heavy whipping cream. And the sesame salad was literally chunks of cheese and uncooked peppers and onions with sesame seeds. Overall, real big disappointment and not worth it. At the end of all this we had another server bring our check b/c ours was no where to be found. Honestly we probably should have walked out half way through but we were optimistic and the place was ironically busy towards the end. I’m thinking it’s tourists who are drinking too much and giving this place a false positive. Can’t say I didn’t warn you!

The food was excellent and filling. I ordered the lunch for one special and it was plenty. The service was less than stellar. (The waiter never asked me for my drink order. Thankfully, he brought water, which is what I wanted.) I highly recommend the lamb curry and stir fry cabbage!
