Kabob Guys — Restaurant in McAllen

I am sorry to be writing this review, but the food was excruciatingly horrible, I generally don't write a bad review , if I don't like the food I'll just not order from that place ever again, but for this place the food was soo bad that I had to write this review, hopefully, your food quality will improve, please take this as constructive criticism.

I am a foodie person and have eaten a lot of food from a lot of places all over India, Canada, and the Middle East, plus my mum is a chef for a small restaurant as well. So this review is coming from a lot of experience in taste.

The Reshmi kebab was very dry and it tasted a lot of coconut. please see some YouTube videos of some good chefs to get an idea of what reshmi kebabs should be. Extra spicy doesn't mean you add more red chili powder to the food, extra spice can come from adding chopped green chilies as well. All your food tasted of ketchup. The kebabs were not properly cooked either. The meat kebabs were so tough and the chicken kebabs were too dry, The naan was dry and hard. I was hoping at least the naan to be good, Honestly, the best thing out of the food was your plain rice.

I have had many different variants of chicken chili, I enjoy it when people try to make it differently than the traditional chicken chilly. Traditional chicken chili is brown gravy due to soya sauce and green chilies, but I have had the red gravy variants as well and have enjoyed those too, this was red gravy but wasn't expecting it to be made with ketchup, chicken chili is never sweet.

My apologies once again if this review seems harsh but I am extremely disappointed, I threw half my food out, I hate throwing food but I didn't have an option, my 60$ wasted completely. I am surprised to see this place with 1K+ reviews and a 4.5-star rating. Either everyone has lost their taste buds or I just got food from...

This is more of a 3 1/2 star review than a full 4 star review....

My wife and I decided to try out the lunch buffet, we had seen their videos on social media and the food looked great, especially their oven baked Naan bread.

Here's the first con...and this isn't a bash on the place but what we saw. We entered and weren't greeted by anyone. The front was empty...we looked inside the main area and there was one waitress running around trying to clean tables or bring plates. We asked if we just sit anywhere and she nodded at us from 10 feet away. Was the place extremely busy? Not really...but one waitress to man the front, clean tables, and to bring out plates? It slowed things down...

The one main item my wife and I craved was Naan bread...and there was none in site. Granted....we didn't know you had to specifically ask the waitress and she would bring you a small basket of it to the table...but we would scarf it down and then have to wait another 10 mins before she could bring out another small basket, since they are made fresh.

I love butter chicken but it wasn't on the buffet selection...not a knock but I would compare that to a Mexican buffet not having enchiladas on the menu...it's such a traditional and popular Indian dish you would expect it on the buffet items. However...you can pay extra and order it a la carte. Curries are also notoriously Indian dishes...but I don't think I saw any options on the buffet, only as individual menu items.

The buffet items on their own were all quite tasty...I was pleasantly surprised by one side, ground lamb w/ potatoes, looked like picadillo. It was quite delicious...

Was the food delicious... definitely. But the overall experience felt lacking considering the service and the...

First time trying Indian food and it was delicious! We ordered our food to go and did it through their website. We appreciate this option since it’s a good alternative to ordering on the phone that can help those who feel anxious ordering through the phone. It really helped that they had nice pictures (they look like the food we got) & a quick description of what the food was. It was fast and easy to navigate too. Now to the food. We ordered mild butter chicken, mild tandoori chicken, and garlic naan. The butter chicken sauce was creamy, flavorful, and deliciously spicy. The sauce tasted great with the rice but tasted amazing when the naan bread soaked some of it up. The tandoori chicken was flavorful. The spices used were not over powering and the chicken was soft. The thighs were juicy, only two of the legs were a bit dry but they tasted good with the condiments, the fresh bell peppers and onions included. The spice in it was very, very mild. Mild enough for our toddlers to enjoy. The rice was fluffy and had a unique taste that was not over powering to the main dishes. The garlic naan smelled amazing and it was just as delicious. It definitely helped scoop the sauce from the butter chicken. The garlic flavor was not over done nor was it minimal, it was on point for us. Even our toddlers liked it. Over all, we are satisfied that we chose them for our introduction to Indian cuisine. We really enjoyed the butter chicken & garlic naan the most. We will definitely dine in and explore the...
