Kababeque Indian Grill

I’ve been here on and off over the years since my first year at uofa. They’ve been through a bit of a roller coaster in terms of quality, but recently they’ve been a pretty good contender with some of the other Indian cuisine I’ve had in the area, especially for their price point. They’ve heavily improved the dining area with a renovation overhaul. It’s actually quite comfortable to sit down and enjoy a meal compared to before. Sometimes in the past I would solely not choose to eat there because I wanted to do a sit down. Portion sizes seem slightly larger?

It’s my favorite place in Tucson! I love Haryali Roll and Chicken Biryani they cook. Chicken tikka is not cooked that well here, though, unfortunately.

Wish I would have read the reviews about cleanliness before my son and I ate here last night. About 15 minutes after we left my son clearly ended up with a case of food poisoning. Now reading these reviews about cockroaches and cleanliness I can see why. There was a lady in the back walking around eating a piece of Naan and someone was hacking really bad back there. Could not see if they were covering their mouth or not. Chose to give them a shot and I’m in serious regret right now for not going with my intuition. My son is still suffering today at 12:30 pm and we ate there around 8pm last night. I think a visit from a health inspector needs to happen. I am not one for leaving bad reviews unless necessary but people need to be warned and think twice about eating here.

This was hands down one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had. I walked in with my clearly tagged service dog and was immediately met with judgmental, unfriendly stares. We knew what we wanted to order right away, but instead of that being appreciated, we were ignored. When we finished ordering, the woman behind the counter looked at us like we were stupid and made us repeat everything. No greeting, no thank you, no acknowledgment—just a rude, dismissive attitude. When the food was finally ready, no one said a word. She didn’t call out our order or let us know it was done—we had to ask another customer if the food sitting there was ours. The whole experience was uncomfortable. We were looked at like we didn’t belong, and the vibe was cold and unwelcoming. I had to step outside because it felt so hostile inside. And the food? Mediocre at best. It tasted like something you could throw together at home in 10 minutes. The curry had no depth, no richness—just bland, flat flavor. And they had the nerve to serve it with a store-bought tortilla. Nothing authentic, nothing handmade. To top it all off, I watched the woman in the kitchen handle the food without gloves. Absolutely disgusting. Save your time, your money, and your appetite. This place is not it.

I ordered the Chicken Tikka Q Roll and wow! Great meal for a great price. Be careful with the spice level, if you’re sensitive but otherwise 10/10 would recommend. :) thank you Kababeque staff!

Pretty drab inside. That’s why I ordered for takeout. Mango lassi was great. Lamb vindaloo very good - I wish I had also ordered naan bread with it as it was way more sauce than could be eaten with the rice. I’d come again for authentic Indian flavor.

Ordered through DoorDash Good portion. I had the chicken tikka masala with garlic naan. Best Indian I’ve had in Tucson. So happy I found this place. I ask for spicy it was a milder spicy I think but well balanced fresh food. Amazing 10/10

The hosts are warm, responsive and quick. The taste is authentic and the veggie samosas are delicious. The restaurant is small, but they don't compromise on the quality and gesture.
