Kabab and Curry's

I've been coming here for around 15 years now. We come 3-4 times a year and the food is usually pretty consistent. What is also consistent is the service, which is generally not very friendly and is a bit short. I don't mind the service since the food is what we are looking for. We love the chicken tikka masala, biryani, butter chicken, tandoori chicken (on the breast, the wing is usually black/burnt - good flavor, but often parts of it are too dark), aloo gobi, aloo mutter, palak paneer, eggplant potato, paneer tikka masala, naan, basmati, mango lassi. With to go orders, I typically call at 4:55-5pm to place my order and the earliest I've picked it up is 6pm. From all of my experiences, the pick up is very slow.

"Funny nam'e,Top notch gam'e."One of K&C's Michelin Bib Gourmand plaques on the wall says it best -- you come here for the food. Not the service, which can be brusque even if you're a regular. Not the ambience, which is non-existant. You come here for the excellent home style food. Standouts include butter chicken with a hint of BBQ sauce flavour. Tandoori chicken with char to die for. And dum biryani that, excuse the cliché, probably really might be the best in the Bay (get the goat). Kabab and Curry's is the aloof kid / neighbour / coworker who, despite their faults, is just too damn good at what they do to be ignored. You come here for the food. True score: 9.1 / 10. Return: YES

If you want authentic tasty well portioned Indian /Pakistani food this is the place! Its santa clara's best kept secret. I typically order is chicken Achari, chkn tikka masala, biryani, Lamb Seekh kabob and their big naan

Eaten on 7/5/24: lol I really love kabab and curry's still, only update is that I have tried the new tikka masala wings and they are my favorite wings! They come with a creamy sauce that's great for dipping, about 6 wings per order.

Tried their Chicken boti kabob and chicken dum biryani. Absolutely authentic and super tasty. Biryani was very well made, absolutely one of the best dum biryani in the bay area

My office usually caters from here and the food is always so good. So I thought of trying it on my own. I had placed a to-go order, and the wait time was 50-55 mins. Unfortunately they took additional time to have the order ready upon arrival. Sure, it was a weekend dinner, so I was expecting service to not be the best (also, read other reviews regarding the same). Now, onto the crux of the review: the FOODLiving in Fremont, I know Pakwaan is a huge local favorite for Pakistani/Indian. But I liked the curries at Kabab & Curry's slightly better in taste. So, I am happy to find some nice options for Pakistani/North Indian Non-Veg cuisine in the bay. I tried these dishes: Chicken Kadhai, Bhuna Ghosht, Tandoori Chicken, Chicken Biryani. I loved the currys : amazing flavor! Tandoori Chicken was soft and not dried out, like many other places. The only thing I thought was okayish was the chicken biryani. (first of all, salt was lacking in the rice anf the chicken, and the meat was kind of dry for me) But , overall, a great find to satisfy non-veg cravings! I will be trying out more of their kababs and currys.

An authentic place that feels family owned. Love their naan, biriyani and chicken tikka masala, which is uniquely flavored here compared to the other tomato heavy version at most places. Kabab n Curry's has been my family's go to place for Indian food for over a decade. Service is very unpretentious and quick which I don't mind at all.

Heard quite a bit about the place and eventually made it here with friends for dinner. Parking can get tough though persistence pays off. This place has a pretty good reputation and is always bustling with guests. We were greeted by Mohammed who got us seated to a table of our choice and as well mentioned to us to start thinking about what we would start with as there could be a wait time otherwise. We got into the act of ordering right away and started with a couple of order of chicken seek kabab, a couple mushroom tikka. Chicken tikka tasted great and it definitely looked to be cooked with an effort rather than in haste. Mushroom tikka had good reviews as well around the table.We followed that up with an order of Chicken Korma, Kadai chicken , Aloo mutter a couple garlic and butter naan along with an onion naan as well. Korma and Kadai chicken tasted epic and i would definitely visit them for those dishes absolutely for sure. The naans were made to perfection as well though aloo mutter had some room for improvement. We ended the night with tea for the table and found it to be just fine (sometimes at places the tea towards the end of the night/day gets to be extremely strong in flavor and this one tasted fresh). All in all phenomenal customer service, great chicken curries and a nice cozy ambience to the place sums up our visit which we would like to repeat as time and opportunity presents itself.

We love this place, their biryani is delicious.. very different from the Hyderabad biryani.. their kebabs are to die for.. avoid the boti.. their sheekh, chicken barra, butter chicken, korma are all great!

Our group of 10 came around end of lunch and were seated in the back room without wait. A lot of seating is available in the shop so good for larger parties. They weren't that busy and service was decently quick for our large group. Ordered and got food in about 15min.9/10 Lamb Chops $18 - The best thing here! Lamb was juicy, lightly crispy edges, and cooked medium well! Enough to still be tender with a slight chew! Seasoned well but only 4 small pieces. 7.5/10 Fish Fillets $17 - 2 small fillet strips. Fish is dried seasoned. Almost a lemon grass flavor but was just ok overall. 6.5/10 Butter Chicken $11.75 - below average for butter chicken. Lacked a lot of flavor and creaminess. Good amount of chicken that was well coated. Portion size seemed average.7/10 Lamb Korma $12.50 - lamb was tender and came in good chunks. Flavor of the gravy was pretty average. 6.5/10 Garlic Naan $5 - garlic flavor is super light. Naan made well but not worth at all. Just get the plain.6/10 Beef Qeema $7 - definitely mot worth it either. Meat filling is very little and didn't have much flavor at all. 7/10 Choley $11 - average in taste and portion. Nothing special 7/10 Mango Lassi $5 - a different type of mango lassi than what I was expecting as it is more yogurt (sour) than sweet mango flavor. Not bad but it is super thick and heavy. 8% service fee as noted on menu and sign for dine in. Free onions if you ask. Overall super pricy and does not line up in taste
