Curry and Kabob Tucked into Wilde Lake Village Center in Columbia, Curry & Kabob is truly a neighborhood gem--I only wish I had discovered it sooner. You'll find it toward the far end of the plaza (near The Bagel Bin and neighboring shops), with free parking just a short walk away. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside, the space is modest in size but thoughtfully arranged. Seating feels comfortable without being cramped, and the décor leans simple and clean--warm wood tones, minimal accents, and an overall relaxed vibe that lets the food take center stage.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The menu features Indo-Nepalese cuisine, and this is where they really shine. Our group sampled a variety of dishes, each customized to our preferred spice levels--and every one of them was spot on. The Nepal dish of Chicken Momo dumplings completely filled the dish and I was too slow in grabbing an immediate pic but it was shared among 4 of us.The sauces were rich, layered, and full of flavor. I also have to say their Garlic naan bread was one of the most delicious I have tasted in the many versions of naan bread I have eaten. Light, chewy but still tender and full of bits of garlic that almost melted in my mouth, truly tasted freshly made. Portions are generous, and I'll admit I didn't mind having leftovers...especially since mine disappeared later that same day without hesitation. Service was warm and attentive, adding to an already enjoyable experience. They also offer a weekend lunch buffet (Friday through Sunday) at a reasonable price, which is definitely on my list for a return visit. Whether dining in or grabbing takeout, this is a spot worth keeping in rotation if you're craving bold, comforting flavors. I will definitely return to try more of their selections. read more

One of our favorite local places to get take-out on weekday nights when cooking is not in the menu. The garlic naan was perfect tonight, a sweet balance of cooked garlic and fresh naan yum. Chicken Tikka Masala was great as always. The Chicken 65 and Momo Dumplings are a must haves. Also picked up veggie samosas paired with delicious sauces. read more

Curry & Kabob - Chicken 65 was extremely good. With a perfect curry leave temper, loved it. - Indian Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

Overall : Easily 4-stars. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A great buffet place with excellent service and ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Parking: 3 stars at best. Limited open parking shared with other businesses. Food: 4 stars. Buffet best deal, but not available everyday. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance: 5 stars. A very pleasant place with clean bathrooms.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service: 4 stars. Friendly, but limited during busy times. read more

The chicken tikka masala was good and it went amazing with the rice! This place is hella underrated. Would definitely go here again! read more

This was a great choice for lunch with a friend. We shared Veggie Pakora and I ordered chicken tikka. I have celiac and I was delighted to enjoy such delicious, gluten-free options. Their prices are better than most. read more

Wanted to see how the food is like here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restaurant was empty except for 2-3 people coming in to pick up their orders for the evening around 7pm on a Saturday so unsure if ppl actually dine in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Poppers (papadum) were stale-had a chewy texture instead of crisp chip like. Like that the naans were thin but also noticed they were also chewy. Daal makhni was good (added more salt). Seemed like a little tomato-y based tho bc had a more lighter tinge than brown? Happy it wasn't spicy as requested. (Phew) I was surprised to find a weird plastic chunk in the daal- glad I didn't choke or ingest it since I felt it in my mouth. (!!!) Didn't realize it seems to automatically come with a plain rice tub. Hmmmm- unsure how I feel overall. Not many options in MD it seems. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I really liked this place because it gave a very authentic and homemade ambience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff here are incredibly friendly and the food is very cozy and you can tell they make it with lots of time and care. I ordered the mango lassi and the chicken Momos and they were out of this world. The mango lassi wasn't too thick as other places make it. I thought it was a perfect consistency and a perfect amount of sweetness to it. The chicken Momos were something I was looking forward to trying as I have never had them before and I thought that the sauce that came with it was so good! I liked how before they brought my food, they gave me a complementary savory cracker with a spicy and a sweet dip. It was pretty good too! I look forward to trying some of their curry options next time . read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great Indian/Nepali restaurant with a nice interior.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Portions are large!! They've got a customizable spice range. I love spice and got regular spicy and it was a pleasant tingly level. Maybe I'll go higher next time. My partner who can't handle spice got mild and it was fine for him. I got the yellow lentil curry and he got the chicken and lamb kebob. Both were very delicious. Food came out timely and literally sizzling! Good service. We also got naan on the side. It was a bit too buttery for me... I'd ask for no butter next time. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This is my go to takeout place in Columbia -- though the interior is cute as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The samosa chat is incredible and despite being listed as an appetizer is the perfect meal, highly recommend! read more

Tasty Indian/Nepali cuisine. We visited Curry & Kabob on a Saturday night, and it was mostly empty. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant has medium-toned wood panel walls and cheap tables and chairs with paper placemats and paper napkins. There are various Indian and Nepali themed paintings and photographs hanging on the walls.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We split the veggie momo as a starter, and I tried the chyau ko tarkari as a main with garlic naan on the side. The momo was served hot and had a great flavor with a tasty dipping sauce. The chyau ko tarkari was excellent with perfectly cooked potatoes and tasty mushrooms. The garlic naan was not nearly as garlicky as I prefer and was a bit sweeter than I'm used to. Overall, I had a great experience at Curry & Kabob and would highly recommend them for Indian/Nepali food in Columbia. read more

If you haven't tried this place yet, you definitely need to! I place an order over the phone for the lamb curry and garlic naan. The lady on the phone was kind enough to make sure that she scheduled my order to be ready for when I got to the restaurant so it wasn't sitting out. The lamb curry itself was delicious and tasted great paired with the rice it came with! The garlic naan was great, and I was surprised I got 4 pieces! My usual place back in Georgia only gave me 2, so you definitely get a lot of food for your dollar. I also appreciate how carefully everything was wrapped and packaged so that nothing spilled and everything stayed warm. I cannot recommend this place enough! Will be returning soon. read more

First of all....ever since I stepped foot in here I have been craving the butter chicken since. Let me tell you...if you want a true 5 star experience come eat here at Curry and Kabob. I ate here with my bestie once and had the butter chicken and when I walked out I walked out a brand new and changed woman. [[HIGHLIGHT]]First of all...the cleanliness of the restaurant is impeccable. I could see myself on the floor and in the utensils. It's that serious.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Second of all, staff members were super attentive and super nice. I felt like moving in. I felt like I was apart of their family. Third of all ( and best ) the food. Oh my God. Where do I start....first of all this food came straight from the motherland. It tasted so delightful. All of my taste buds were dancing and enjoyed every bit of the meal. Sauce? Buttery. Chicken? Soft and Tender? Belly? Full. Needless to say...this restaurant WILL be seeing me every payday. It's that serious. I even have their location memorized at heart. This is now my second home. If you to want to join the Curry and Kabob family, come on in and dine. It's so good and trust and believe you will crave it everyday after. Because I certainly do. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice atmosphere and set up.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Plenty parking. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Really nice for families and small groups.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Portions are large. The food was okay. The DC area has so many options so I guess we spoilt. If this is your first time for Indian food or you in the area, it's worth a try. Service is also good and people are nice. read more

It was quiet for a Saturday afternoon but plenty of people come for take out and we had little wait on our food. Chicken Masala - amazing!! So buttery and tastes like such a home dish.

Kindest staff on earth, delicious food , [[HIGHLIGHT]]cozy ambience[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. I enjoy the paneer pakora and their momo selection.

Our go to for delicious, made with care Indian food in Columbia. We usually do carryout but dining in is a treat. The chicken momo, chat papri and lamb roganjosh are standouts on the menu, but we are still working our way through. There are fancier, more expensive Indian restaurants in Columbia, but Curry and Kabob is hard to top. read more

We ate at this place yesterday. Hubby and I had the lunch buffet and it was great. The food is well prepared and they pretty much customize the food to your preferences. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience is spacious and bright.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would definitely return in the near future! read more

Some of the best Chicken Makhani I've had in a while and very nice service! Will be back again

We tried Curry & Kabob last week for the first time and enjoyed it so much, we wanted to order it again this week. However, I wish we hadn't. My husband and I placed an online order around 6:40 pm. Everything went through as we were charged and got a confirmation email for our order, and the email said the food would be arriving via delivery around 7:30 pm. A bit after we placed our order, my husband got a call from the restaurant asking to confirm if he had placed an order, which he confirmed he did. They verified it because they said their system was having issues, but said they would work on the order right away. At around 7:50 pm, the food still had not arrived so my husband called to check in on the order. He gave his name, and whoever answered the phone said that the order was out for delivery and should be there soon. But then, 8:30 pm rolls around, and we still hadn't gotten our food. My husband calls the restaurant again and asks about our order. They claim that someone who also had the same name as my husband called to cancel the order 10 minutes after my husband originally spoke on the phone confirming that we had placed the order around 6:50 p.m. We were confused by this because when we called around an hour later, we were told that our food was out for delivery. My husband asked to pick up the food at this point to make sure we could get our order. Once my husband arrived to pick up our order, they had a different story and said this time that someone called to change the order to pick up, which also doesn't make sense as they didn't say they had the food waiting for pick up before either. It was such a mess and their story wasn't straight or adding up given the times that we had called the restaurant. They also just said "sorry" and were a bit dismissive when my husband asked for clarification about what happened. Over 2 hours after we originally ordered, we got the food home, and it was not even good! We will not take our business here again. read more

Our go to for delicious Indian take out. Always delivered hot and always enough for leftovers.

Delicious! We got the chicken tikka masala and shrimp vindaloo for carry out and both dishes were delicious. Can't go wrong here for Indian food! read more

Always hot. Very friendly. They also offer discounts for orders placed through them directly (not online, you have to call them), which is amazing!!! The only complaint I would have, is that I hope they get spill stoppers for their hot beverage containers as well as drink carriers. Right now, they pack all drinks with tin foil wrapped around them. Sometimes there's a little bit of spillage from being carried in a bag. The food is always really good though, so it's not worth leaving anything less than 5 ! read more

Curry & Kabob - Chicken Tikka - Indian Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

I needed a place to eat that was close to the interfaith community center in Columbia, Maryland and I found this gem of a restaurant!! I started out with the lightest Papadom I've ever had with two fantastic dips. The daal vegetarian soup was so scrumptious and delicious paired wonderfully with the onion bhaji. I highly recommend it even though I don't live nearby. I plan to come again. read more

I met my culinary-adventure friend for lunch today at noon. We walked in to a virtually empty restaurant! There was one person eating alone. We chose a table and waited a few minutes, till someone arrived for takeout and rang the bell on the counter. When the staff person came out to bring their food, they immediately came over with menus and poured us water. We decided on our orders fairly soon and did get excellent attention for ordering and service. Very soon after we ordered, they brought a basket with two papadam (crispy lentil bread that's more like a large chip) and one red, one green sauce for dipping. Beware! the green sauce is quite spicy. Our food came out fairly quickly and the hot stuff was hot, the cold salad was cold. Perfect! We shared a veggie appetizer sampler, a cold potato salad called aloo achar, chicken sekuwa and lamb sekuwa which are both marinated bites of meat with cucumber and carrot slices, and "beaten" rice. That's the first time I've ever had that and it was interesting. It's quite dry and crunchy! We both asked for medium spice. I have to say, the chicken was ever so slightly spicier than the lamb, but both were seasoned to perfection and so tender and moist. The chicken had a really interesting bit of relish or garnish that is really hard to describe. We could identify some flavors, but the bits of green pepper (?) was something neither of us could figure out. The server was glad to answer questions, but to be honest, neither of us grasped what those green bits were! LOL My friend had iced tea and I stuck with water, and my check including a nice tip was just under $27. I was pleasantly full of delectable food and took home enough for dinner, so I have to say I was very happy. The parking lot is large but beware of google navigation because it took me to the back door. I suppose one could enter there, but it seemed to be used mostly for their catering vans. The front door is around the building. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Amazing food, service and entire experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This is our Go To restaurant in the area for Indian food.

Where is everybody? Get here right now! The menu is unique (see photo below)---they have black salt lassi!---the service is impeccable, the place is sparkling clean with lots of space between tables, and parking is plentiful. Photo is crispy eggplant appetizer---eggplant cooked like thick cut potato chips, covered with toppings and served with mint and tamarind sauces! Just wonderful! read more

We went to lunch buffet on Saturday, which has recently resumed, post pandemic. It's not very expansive but it's more than satisfying. The chicken curry and tikka masala were delicious. The naan was hot, fresh from the oven and dripping with butter. OMG it was so good, I would have been satisfied with just the naan and the gravy from the tikka masala. Oh, and the chai tea was the perfect ending. I loved it! read more

I like that this is not an "Indian" restaurant masked as a Nepali restaurant. They have authentic Nepali dishes which I def indulged in and fell in love with aalu tama bodi (potato, black eyed peas, and bamboo). This dish was unique, spicy, and delicious! I would love to try thrower buffet once it resumes! Ample parking space around here as well. read more

Awesome food! I was working a lot a lot and i was forced to eat out. So I check yelp for somewhere that is relatively gluten free and this place pops up. I look through the menu and see palak paneer! I used to make such awesome palak paneer and I decided to give it a go along with aloo achar. I picked it up in between jobs and It was YUM! It was lunch or dinner for four days and it was great every time. I will definitely go back for more. read more

It's hard being away from home and your family during the holidays but the meal I just had made it much more bearable. The food was hot and perfectly spiced, I don't know when I'll be back in the area again but I will definitely be ordering from here again when I am. Update: Just 5 days later and I ordered from here again. Maybe I'm crazy but the food was even better the second time. This is hands down the BEST Indian food I have ever had and I will probably eat here again before my deployment is up. read more

Curry & Kabob - a television in the background - Indian Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

Best indian food I've genuinely ever had in my life. Howard County MD is a hot spot for amazing Indian cuisine, but this low key spot is the best. What's spectacular about this spot is the ability to choose your spice levels for your dishes. Beware, the spicy is spicy, even for an above average spicy eater like myself. What are my favorite dishes you ask? Let's get into it. The saag paneer is just beautifully done. The creamy spinach with the perfectly done paneer is just a combination they serve daily in heaven (I think). I could eat this all day. If you're vegan, this will be the one. I like all their dishes spicy, but if you want to balance out the dishes with some other medium/medium plus dishes, I suggest you keep this one spicy. The lamb korma is boooooomb. I could drink that sauce. I'd probably bathe myself in it if I could. Dip your garlic naan in this and you'll feel like an astronaut with the out of this world flavor. Definitely go spicy. read more

My first time coming to this restaurant and it was delicious! Food was delicious and staff working here are very friendly. I will definitely come back to this place.
