Kebab Aur Sharab

“Went to Kabab aur Shabab in Manhattan and had a great experience. The food was really delicious, we ordered both vegetarian and non-veg dishes, and everything tasted amazing, especially the Dal Makhani. We were very hungry, and the food really hit the spot. The manager was very kind and helped us with a table, and the staff were friendly and attentive. The décor is also nice and the atmosphere feels welcoming. Highly recommend this place for Indian food in the city. Will definitely visit again!”

“Came here for a date night with my partner and we had such a great experience. Our reservation was at 5:30 PM, and it wasn’t too busy yet (it started getting packed around 6). The host was very kind and explained that they didn’t have any private seating areas, but he still tried his best to find us a good spot since we wanted to take pictures without using flash and disturbing others. We ordered the chicken tandoori, which was a little salty in my opinion, but eating it with the onions balanced the flavor out really well. We also got the crispy potatoes, which were amazing. For our main dishes, we ordered garlic naan, butter chicken, and a side of white rice. The butter chicken was rich, flavorful, and super buttery. Surprisingly, my partner’s favorite dish was the white rice—he said it had so much flavor on its own. We also tried two drinks: the mango lassi and a mint drink (I forgot the name), and we absolutely loved them. The mango lassi was especially delicious—honestly one of the best mango lassis we’ve ever had. For dessert, we ordered the carrot pudding, which came with shredded carrots and vanilla ice cream on top. Everything we tried was so good and definitely did not disappoint. The atmosphere was cozy and really nice, and the bar was huge with lots of wines and beautiful decorations. Since it’s Valentine’s season, they also has heart balloons floating around, which was super cute. At the end of the night, our server even gave us two balloons to take home. The service was great overall—our server was friendly and checked in on us often. If you haven’t tried this place yet, you should definitely come check it out!”

“Almost perfect. Tandoori Chicken was exceptional and possibly a must do. As was the goat doori kebab. And the gol gappas. BUT the dish that they’d need to perfect for that famed Michelin star is likely to be the wagyu chapli.. and that needs a fair bit of work. Was dry even though it didn’t ’look it’ - possibly should have been way more chapli? (Aka flatter like a smash patty?) / if they get it right could be really worthwhile. For the mains the Dallas’s excellent but the butter chicken (which is super tough to get right) needed to be far less sweet and punchier and easy on the elaichi 🤷‍♂️. Perhaps request that the butter chicken is made using the tandoori 🤩? One last bit that made me think of giving this a 4 star was the dessert - they said they couldn’t customise the kulfi faluda when asked if we could just get the kulfi!! 🤔 Lastly they need to overhaul the cocktails to be true to their name of Kebab aur Sharab - maybe a Monk Masala with Old Monk? Whisky Mamba Fashioned with some twist on a spice based old fashion? Anyhoo other than the faluda annoyance was pretty good grub. And just for that worth it.”

“Kebab and Sherab is clearly a hot spot! We visited on a weekend evening and the place was absolutely packed, but despite the crowd, the service was incredibly fast and efficient. It's easy to see why they're so popular. The real star of the show, however, was the food. The golgappa was absolutely amazing—easily some of the best I've ever had. We were so impressed by the flavor of the pani (the spiced water) that we actually had to call for extra puri just to finish it off! Highly recommend this place for great food and quick service, even during peak hours.”

“Kabab aur Sharab is a fantastic addition to the NYC Indian food scene, offering a really impressive spread of North Indian cuisine. The palak paneer and garlic naan were easily the best we’ve had, and the masala tea ice cream was an excellent, unique finish to the meal. Some of the dishes definitely carry a bold, authentic spice kick, but the flavors are excellent across the board. The service was very friendly and attentive. Absolutely worth a visit!”
