India Kabab & Curry

This is the best Indian Buffet in Reno. There used to be others, but they all closed. The only drawback of this place is the parking. It's a little parking lot in back and it's kinda tight, you might be better off just parking on the street. The buffet is $17.99 now plus tax and tip comes out to a little over $20 per person. They start the buffet at 11 am, so that's the best time to get here before the food is all pawed over. It the hottest food too. I love that tandoori chicken like some other people. I do see they use mostly thighs. If you're one of those people that doesn't like bones and only wants white meat chicken ... well, too bad, that's what tandoori is. All the other food is good here too. You can have all the garlic or plain naan you like, they bring you one basket, but you can get refills if you want. Nice place for lunch!

If you're looking for the best Indian lunch buffet here in Reno, this is the place! India Kabab and Curry, has the best buffet for lunch, and now I think the only Indian Buffet for lunch in Reno. There were several other Indian Buffets over the years but they have all stopped and only serve Ala carte. For me, I love the buffet style and the all you can eat option. It's well worth it, compared to ordering Ala carte. My fave Indian entree' is the Tandoori Chicken. They use the drumsticks and thighs here, not like some buffets I've been to where it's just all the scrap pieces, like the backs and rib pieces and they saved all the good pieces for the Ala carte orders of tandoori chicken. Also I love the tikka masala served over that light tasty basmati rice. You get naan , garlic or plain buttered, included in the buffet. The price for the buffet is around $16 bucks ... such a deal! Service is pleasant, not super friendly, but they get the job done, and that's really all you want. I'll come back here for lunch for sure. Parking is a bit tight, there's a smallish lot in back and you just have to walk around the building.

This is my favorite Indian restaurant in Reno for years now! I also love the new floors and paint they recently put in. My favorite dish is the mushroom tikka masala (found when I was pregnant and couldn't stand any form of meat). I love so many of their dishes, from their murg chicken curry, chicken tikka masala, and so many others. I enjoy their buffet line for lunch on the weekends and its definitely worth it to splurge on from time to time. Whether carry out or eating in, its always good.

This is the BEST indian restaurant in Town!!! Been going for years! For newbies~ try the Chicken Tikka Masala and Shahi Navratan Korma! Worth every penny! They also have a lunch buffet with all sorts of dishes. Some is too exotic for me~ but those two dishes I mention are literally my favorite restaurant dishes in entire city! (Reno) Pictures are takeout.

I loved my experience here from the very beginning! The most important part of any experience for me is the customer service and the customer experience. I entered with my mom and we were seated immediately and taken care of. We had two people assisting us directly and while the lady seemed shy (still friendly), the man that assisted us wasn't so. He joked around and made the experience more lively. The food was great also. I tried a few different things and everything I tried was great! His personality though...

Genuinely have loved this place since I was a teen and my family usually comes here like a treat or special occasion. Not saying you can’t dine here casually as it does get regular foot traffic and has an interesting view being opposite a stop light so watching the cars come and go is actually appealing. My partner got the buffet which I recommend for first timers to the restaurant, you’ll get a wide variety of veggies and popular dishes there and it gives you an opportunity to really sample the menu. I however got an ordered dish which from the pictures you can tell are served beautifully. Murg Tikka Marsala: Comes with rice and is also usually at the buffet. I like the portion sizes of the menu ordered item if you’re someone like me and can’t portion yourself correctly and especially don’t want to waste food. This dish was a bit tangy and creamy and the chicken was cooked great. I usually eat this like you would tortillas and rice and so usually use my hands. I recommend building your bite and always order the garlic naan bread to go with it and in general really, I ordered two. Mango Lassi: Yes a special description just for this, if you haven’t tried it, order it, it’s a tall bright orange drink that tastes of yogurt and mango and is a perfect balance for the strong flavors of the food. It’s a bit sweet and tangy and cold.

my favorite restaurant in Reno! I live in California, I drive 3 hours away every week just for get the best indian food in this amazing restaurant. Excellent customer service and amazing food!

Always enjoy the AYCE Indian buffet here. The service has also always been very good. The menu and buffet selection offers a nice mix of traditional dishes with some variety. Everything we’ve tried has been flavorful and consistent — enough to keep us coming back again and again.

I went here with my grandma & it was a very nice meal, good prices & the atmosphere was nice aswell!!

Pro's: It's been awhile since I have been here...they renovated and it looks really good. Con's: Silly one, but would have been nice to have Indian music playing. Go back?: Absolutely More... Expecting some good chicken Tikka Masala and not, fresh Naan bread, my date suggests we go all-in on the Royal Feast for like $44 pp. Wow, was THAT fun! What a great price point to get to try so many new items, sauces, chutneys that I have never had. But there is something about dipping Naan bread in Tikka Masala sauce that is akin to cheese fondue...so crazy delicious! The Tandoori chicken was full of flavor and oh so tender. Everything was great...what a fun way to experience this restaurant and Indian cuisine. Service was great, too.

I really like India Kabab & Curry! Big menu with lots of meat + vegetarian options, nice décor, and super friendly staff. We had butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, and rice. Butter chicken = fantastic--creamy, flavorful, medium spice had just the right kick. Tikka masala tasted good but the chicken was pretty dry. Garlic naan was crisp but all the garlic was clumped in the middle (wish it was spread out more). Mango lassi was DELICIOUS. Only downside: it was really quiet inside--some music would've made the vibe better. Overall: solid spot, not perfect, but I'll definitely be back.

I forgot to review this place from the last time I was in Reno. I was commenting there weren't any buffets left in Reno except those Chinese buffets. My friend said there was this Indian buffet that was decent. Most Indian restaurants in CA offer a lunch buffet, but I think this is the only one in Reno anymore. India Kabab and Curry was easy to find with GPS, but you gotta know the parking is in the back, down a side alley. I know to get to any buffet at opening when the food is the freshest. Lunch buffet starts at 11am for $15.99 per person, which is about the same as that Chinese buffet. Inside is actually very elegant and nice. We sat at a booth and went directly up to the buffet. Service was quick and efficient at keep water filled and plates cleared. As with most Indian Buffets, naan bread is included, all you want. Garlic or plain are the choices. Up at the buffet line of food, they had my most fave Tandoori chicken and Tikka Masala. All the other choices looked a little mysterious to me, so I stuck with the tandoori chicken mostly. It was good to see the chicken pieces were thighs and drumsticks, no junk pieces like the back or rib cage. I had one buffet where they just had all the junk pieces at the buffet cause they were saving the good pieces for the ala carte entree's. OMG! My first bite into that tender theigh was wonderful. So moist and tender with that tandoori flavor. This was one of the best tandoori chicken I've ever had! We both ate our fill! I was surprised the restaurant at lunch wasn't more busy, but I like a quiet lunch! For $20 bucks each including tax and tip, it was well worth it. Next time I'm in town I'll come back here!

Small, clean and friendly service. The food buffet is delicious with good amount of options. I have also ordered off their regular menu. I really love the aloo gabi. It's cauliflower and potatoes in spices. The flavor is so good.

My wife and I had been desiring some Indian cuisine and we decided on mid-town. We arrived at about 11:25 and the timing was perfect for that particular Friday. Drink service was delivered immediately upon seating. We returned with full plates, and garlic pita was served to complement our selections. ( plain is also available) The decor is very nice and themed as an Indian Cafe. The food quality in my opinion deserves four stars, however, I discounted my score 1star due to a bathroom deficiency. The men's restroom had a stale odor and was not as clean as one would expect, as close to opening time as we arrived. All in all a very god buffet value.

This place has been right "under my nose" for years, and I had never tried it. Who knew I like Infian food? Food: So many delicious flavors. The sauteed mushrooms and onions were the first taste. Followed by a a bite of everything on the buffet line. Decor/dining environment: Quiet! A pleasant experience for sure, especially for a single diner. Staff: Super friendly and helpful. Explsined each entree to me and the best way to taste/eat it. Price: $15.99 lunch buffet I'm excited to earn the Online Order Discount to enjoy this after a looooong day driving up and down S Virginia Street.

I've been wanting to stop by this place forever! Came by today and it was very good. We did their lunch buffet - they have a lot of options and they're all hot and fresh. They bring you either garlic or regular naan which was good too! The environment is super cute and welcoming, it was overall very good and we will definitely be back. :)

Indian Kabab and Curry is easily the best spot in town for the price. The food is consistently flavorful, fresh, and satisfying. I highly recommend coming for dinner. the portions might look small at first, but they're surprisingly generous and always last us through lunch the next day. The appetizers are fantastic, especially when paired with their perfectly crispy, hot naan. Every dish is rich with authentic spices and care. The service is friendly, and the atmosphere feels welcoming and relaxed. Overall, it's a go-to place for delicious Indian food that never disappoints and always delivers great value.

I'm finally updating after all of these years. I haven't been in here since a Yelp event that was awesome and previous to that visit almost 9 years. I felt it was time to revisit. I came in for date night since we were going to hang in midtown and meet another couple for a drink afterwards. We both agreed on Indian. We ordered a dinner for two, but we were super disappointed because our food wasn't hot nor did it seem fresh. I felt it was maybe reheated leftovers from their buffet. There was only one other couple dining in and plenty to-go orders. Our server at first was rushing, but we were in no rush. Our dinner was supposed to include naan, I ordered garlic naan which was extra, but we should have still had the plain side. Our food took a bit to arrive and the lentil soup was probably my favorite part of my meal besides their garlic naan. The mark was missed horribly on this visit. Sadly, it may be sometime again before or if we return.

I have been coming here for over a decade and am never disappointed. The buffet is my preference. I like a variety. But if you just want a single dish, go for the Tika Masala! The service is prompt and professional. The eating area is very clean, but almost too formal. And it could have more modern feel which would make the experience that much better!

The lunch buffet here is always solid. Service is fast and the buffet pricing is super reasonable too. The special chicken and tiki masala are some of our favorites!

I always love coming here. The food is always yummy. The service is great they are attentive and friendly. The ambiance is very calm and pleasant.

I've been stopping into Indian Kabab & Curry for my Indian food fix basically forever. It's always been spot I can rely on to get a good flavorful meal time and time again. They have a pretty long menu with sooo many varieties of delicious naan, none of which disappoint. The service is always on point and the bollywood movies or music videos they have going on the TVs are a fun change of pace. This visit I enjoyed the chicken tikka masala with some mozzarella naan. The tikka masala is spiced just right and goes great with the side rice.

good food good prices Variety was nice. Spinach fritters are tasty. Friendly staff clean restaurant.

While we have a great selection of Indian food to choose from in this area, this is still my go-to! To be honest, I only go for dinner once in a while and have never been disappointed, but my regular time to visit is for their outstanding lunch buffet. You can still order from their menu during lunch, but why bother when the buffet has so many choices? The service is always on point and the atmosphere is always comfortable. I especially love the Indian music that always plays on their tv's. It's great to get a look at their culture represented in their music videos. Let's focus on the lunch buffet: A great selection of food that changes every day, with some staples that remain constant...with everything being delicious every time and a wide variety to satisfy anyone's palate. Some of my favorites that are always there: Basmati Rice to put under whatever other food you choose...always flavorful and cooked perfectly. Tandoori Chicken Chicken Tikka Masala Some kind of fried Pakora...onion is my fave. There's usually Mulligatawny Soup...outstanding flavor! You always get your choice of regular or Garlic Naan to have with your food...freshly cooked and hot. One serving is plenty for one person...it's a fairly large piece cut into quarters for you. As to the rotating dishes, here's some of my favorites: They always feature a dish on their sizzling hot platter...anything from meat to veggies. Saag (spinach)...this is always a welcome taste treat. Special Chicken...a very unique flavor profile. Their Lentil dishes are always tasty, as are their mushroom and potato dishes. They always have a variety of Chutney, as well as a very nice Hot Sauce (that goes great on the Pakoras) and Raita, for a nice cooling effect and flavor addition to any of their dishes. They always have fresh fruit for dessert. Not always offered, but when they have it, there's an amazing dessert called Fruit Cream that's basically fruit cocktail in a cream that's always a great way to finish a meal. If you check in on Yelp, you get a FREE Mango Lassi drink...love this! They also have a bar with cocktails, wine and a nice selection of beers, including the classic Kingfisher, a great Indian beer that complements the food well. On another note, I attended a Yelp Elite event recently celebrating the holiday of Diwali, which was SO much fun! Lots of great food, as well as classic Indian dance routines that we got to participate in. I suggest that you give them a try to see what YOU think...I'm a regular at the lunch buffet and will always visit anytime for lunch or dinner when I have the opportunity.

Love this place, food is awesome and delicious. The staff is always nice and professional. Everything is good and the buffets are a great way to test new dishes for your next romantic or business casual dinner.

Such great food! We were looking for something that didn't close early for dinner, turns out India Kabab and Curry is open til 10! Perfect! We ordered the Royal Dinner for 2 and it was amazing! It came with so much food, including your choice of entre, samosa and drinks. We left full, happy and with two boxes it was so much food. Not only that, they were so fast and friendly. It was a very comfortable and romantic dinner for us. Thank you!

The food is fantastic and we stumbled upon the Saturday lunch buffet! Plenty of comfortable seating and wonderful service. The place is cool, great de or and the perfect temp on a hot day.

India Kabab and Curry was one of the first places we dined at after arriving in Reno. At the time it was a very good sign that our new home was where we should be. Right on Virginia St it has a parking lot in the back. Enter around front or on the north side. We at always greeted as we enter and choose a table or a booth. We have dined in the evening but usually visit near noon as that is when the buffet is open. Such a selection of many layered flavors of Indian cuisine. Fresh melon, salad, rice pudding, grilled vegetables in a tomato sauce, saag, chicken curry, chicken tikka masala, mint chutney, raita, plain or garlic naan and more all for an incredibly reasonable price. Even though our recent visit was for the buffet the service was excellent. There is a full bar and yogurt drinks for your enjoyment. If you have not enjoyed Indian food yet I suggest the buffet. You may try many dishes to find your favorite. Try things that may stretch your palate, at this restaurant you will find much to enjoy.

This is out second visit in two weeks. First time we ordered chicken tikka and veggie korma. Tonight we ordered the Royal dinner for two with chicken tikka and Murg tikka masala (lamb). The dinner feeds four of us. We added two extra soups, garlic naan and one more Jalab gabum. So wonderful!! The staff is nice, the food is great and the atmosphere is casual. I highly recommend this Indian restaurant.

The worse Indian food I've experienced in Reno. Visited three time with friends. Never again. Cold terrible chilled experiences each time. Wait staff rude. But the dished served are terrible except for one chicken curry dish. I know 12 people that will never go back, plus myself.

Been coming here for years, they're always so nice and we love the buffet! They have so many choices. Would recommend stopping by if you're craving Indian!

I tried them at a taste of Reno event last year and couldn't get enough. Their masala sauce is so flavorful. I love the tikka and Chana masala!

The food is fantastic. Best in northern Nevada. The service is not the greatest, but the food comes out fast.

Came here with a large group for a birthday party. They accommodated our group easily! The vibes and decor leaves a lot to be desired but the food easily makes up for it! The butter chicken was the best I've had and I wish I even knew what else was ordered for us but EVERYTHING I ate was better than the last thing I tried. The drinks were limited but prices for alcohol was unbeatable! I have always been hesitant to try Indian food but this place makes me want to dive right in!

Service was excellent. Food perfectly spiced. The food came to the table promptly. We ordered three dishes with rice and one order of naan and the portions were more than enough for two people. Dinning area has nice table settings and bathrooms were clean.

The best lunch buffet option in Reno. Great atmosphere, quality, & service. Being a Reno native I have paid this location visits for roughly 20 years. I have never walked away disappointed. I highly recommend visiting this gem in Midtown.

This is my favorite Indian restaurant in Reno!! The lunch buffet is spectacular and get you a wide selection, different all throughout the week and it is reasonably priced. The staff is friendly and the food is delicious! 5 stars

Maybe not the best Indian food spot in Reno , but the lunch buffet is unbeatable. Friendly staff, right in the heart of South Virginia, and overall vibes make this place a gem.

Amazing quality food all around! Some of the best Chicken Tikka Masala and Saag dishes I've ever had. Lots of gluten free options and super reasonable price point. The service is always great and it's fast to get take out or delivery too. Prime location in midtown and open late.

Food is always good. Best of Reno and Sparks. Service was prompt and ambiance is on point.

I absolutely love this Indian food spot! The delicious curry and fantastic buffet selection make it my top choice in Midtown. Can't get enough of it! Highly recommend!

My gosh this is the only place I'll ever go. Yes it's a buffet. No slacking on quality and I like SO MANY dishes that I'd limit myself too much.

A wonderful evening of Indian cuisine and fabulous hospitality once again! We love visiting India Kabab because we feel like family, so when our friends asked us to take them for their first, yes first ever, Indian food experience we knew this was just the place. So I made a reservation for Friday evening for 6 people, but more friends wanted to join and we ended up a party of 12, and India Kabab set us up with a big long table right near their awesome new roll up doors. When making the reservation I had asked them to preorder some appetizers, and just ahead of them coming out, the team came by swiftly with mango lassis for the kiddos, and ice water and cocktails for the adults. While not the first thing you may think to drink here, the mango Margarita with fresh mango was deeeelightful even on a cold night. I had a neat pour of some highland single malt which surprisingly paired nicely with the food. For apps we did the chefs non-veg sampler with pakora, samosa, seekh Kabab, and a few other gems. For dinner we had to run down some classics and ordered saag paneer, dal makhni, and aloo gobi (potato and cauliflower) on the veg side and then tikka masala and beef vinadloo on the non-veg. New to me, and a pick of one of my friends, was the mango basil chicken, which wa absolutely delicious and will be a go to as long as it's on the menu. Sweet, spicy, savory and all things in between. An absolute winner! Yes. There was naan too. Blue cheese naan in fact, a suggestion of the server and something I'll also be adding to the repertoire. As always, there were leftovers. I'm excited for breakfast!

This is my absolute favorite place to go for Indian cuisine. Their buffet is always exceptional and the food is so warm and comforting. I will never complain about prices needing to go up at this establishment because the food is so very worth it. It is always very clean inside and at the buffet station, and the service is great too. I also love that the menu for the buffet rotates so you can experience different things each time. I highly recommend the crispy onion Pakora, and the coconut and tomato soup! Honestly, pretty much everything is my favorite there, they could not make unexceptional food in my opinion. The Mango Lassi drink is also A MUST if you love mango and yogurt. It also helps to cool the palette in between bites. India Kabab and Curry is such a special treat about once a month for me and my family, and I look forward to every visit.

I've been wanting to try this restaurant for a long time. I will always try mulligatany soup when a restaurant offers it. The soup they made here was good but more on the watery side, it was okay but not great. I tried the mango lassi, interesting but not my cup of tea. We also ordered lamb curry and the standard chicken tikka masala and the saag paneer. I hate to say all the dishes were pedestrian and just going through the motions, nothing real impressive in my opinion. What was impressive was the bathroom, it had a bidet, now that was something I see in a residence but definitely a first in a restaurant.

This was my first visit to this restaurant and I loved it. We came for dinner, and the ambiance in the restaurant was very nice. It's located in Midtown but has parking available behind the restaurant in addition to street parking, which is always nice! They offer cocktails, wine and beer and the house Chardonnay was a perfect accompaniment to our spicy meal. We started with vegetable samosas-very good and loved the dipping sauces. Main course was butter chicken, tiki masala and a chicken in a tomato based sauce whose name eludes me. Love that the server asked spice level and the garlic naan we ordered with it was perfect. Service was good-overall a very pleasant experience and I'll be back! Don't forget to check in on Yelp as there is a complimentary mango drink offer!

This place is not for people who are the same hue as the Hindi people .. Unfortunately somehow these people forget that their color, lifestyle, etc originated in Africa.. The portion sizes are really great.. It's such a shame to have such nice looking individuals work but their insides are ugly.. Which in turn made the entire experience unpleasant.. I reached out to my friends that are of Indian descent from India and well let's just say they had no kind words!!! It takes more energy to be Hate Filled than pleasant, as you never know what day a person is having and that could be your last day.. Especially the way the world is going... To all those that read my commentary.. Don't do it.. Don't waste your gas.. Your cash or time.. Go to the cute spot up the block...

The food is Delicious!! The people are so friendly. The place is clean. I do not see any female worker in site! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! For a restaurant just operating by men, its super clean and neat. Well put together! Did I mention friendly? They are the best! The food again is super delicious for the price.

I love the food here. Its so flavorful and tastes fresh. I try to order something different each time. This is one of my favorite Reno restaurants.

great food and friendly service at affordable prices Family friendly and lots of delicious options to choose from

Great food! Lots of choices. Awesome staff The lunch buffet is fabulous and of course the naan

Two lovers of spicy food met and had a baby. They now have to settle for mild/medium spice level when they go out because their 2yr old eats everything they eat and while he has an excellent little pallet for his age, he can't handle more than a 2 in spice level. Last night the biggest little foodie stayed with his Nana so of course his parents had to go for a spicy Indian food date night. They decided on the Royal Dinner for 2. The feast was started off with deliciously crispy Samosas and a mild lentil soup that was really warm and satisfying. Next they were brought a plate of sizzling meats that included tandoori chicken, chicken tikka and sheekh kabob. While the Tandoori chicken was the favorite of the meats, there were good size portions of each. For entrees He chose the Murg Do Piaza, medium spice and She got the Murg Coconut Korma, hot spice. Both choices were delicious though He was a little sad that his dish was mild, not medium as He'd ordered and it didn't have much sauce to it. The rice was plentiful and the Naan was baked to a perfect crispy/chewy texture. The Royal Dinner for 2 was wrapped up with choice of Masala Tea or dessert. His tea was warm and creamy and her Gulab Jamun was deep-fried in butter and soaked in syrup. The whole meal was less than $50 and they left with two take out boxes full of leftovers. The service was top notch, as always, with friendly and attentive staff. India Kabob and Curry is located right next to Chapel Tavern which makes this dinner option the perfect date night spot. A delicious savory dinner at the restaurant followed by signature cocktails in a dark and hip atmosphere at Chapel Tavern.

My wife and I came for the buffet lunch. The food is always a spark to ignite your souls spark. Gurmukh is always ready to joke with us and knows our order almost better than we do. We will keep coming back as long as the food and the service is this good! Thank you for the delicious meals and fond memories. 180000000.999999999999 stars.

My favourite Indian restaurant in Reno. They are consistent with fantastic service and a wide range of vegetarian options. The food is always fast and fresh.

All of the above. Greatest restaurant in Reno. The owner is always a pleasant person to talk with.

Yum!!! I can't believe I haven't tried this place sooner! Very, very authentic and probably some of the best Indian food in Nevada. Only negative was that I ordered medium heat and it was pretty mild. Next time, I'll just have to get the next level up of heat! Quick service. Absolutely amazing food. There was even (what I'm guessing a birthday) party in the connected room next door so this place is great to sit and eat or to celebrate and eat! I'm already craving more! Hehe And if you check in, you get a tasty treat! So don't forget to do that!
