"This recent project of restauranteur Salil Mehta concentrates on kebabs, like the name says, including some unusual ones . The place is a dark warren of rooms with plenty of atmosphere, and an airier front porch. Main courses include a baby goat doori kebab rendered into a tasty paste on a skewer, a humongous bone marrow served on yellow pullao rice, and the restaurant’s take on butter chicken." - Eater Staff
"There may be plenty of outside seating, but indoors at Kebab aur Sharab, the look is lavish. From the deep, rich colors and a sea-blue tiled wall to the intricate woodwork and wicker seating, this Upper West Side spot is especially transporting. A versatile menu offers snacks, small plates and main courses, all designed for sharing (though you may want to keep them to yourself). Do as the name suggests and order a kebab—the baby goat one is exceptional. Finely minced goat is formed around a skewer held together by thread, which is then unspooled tableside to deliver the juicy meat with just a whisper of spices and a hint of smokiness. Kerala fish curry is exquisitely spicy and does the Southern Indian classic proud." - Michelin Inspector
"For the holiday, Kebab aur Sharab will be featuring a handful of specials, including punch amrit and halwa puri chana, with semolina halwa, fried bread, and spiced chickpea. In addition to dinner, available November 12 through 15, the Upper West Side restaurant is partnering with Tagmo in the Seaport to make mithai boxes for a collection of eight sweets ($50) with items like kaju katli (a North Indian sweet made with cashews, sugar, and cardamom) and kesar kaju pista katli (a traditional sweet made with saffron)." - Robert Sietsema, Melissa McCart
"Salil Mehta, the restaurateur behind South East Asian restaurants and bars like Laut, Laut Singapura, Wau, and Singlish, has a new kebab spot in the works. According to a spokesperson, Kebab aur Sharab will highlight Indian street food in a 75-person dining room. The new spot is set to debut in early December 2022, at 247 West 72nd Street, between Broadway and West End Avenue." - Emma Orlow
