Kebab aur Sharab is a fantastic place! The Paan Shop cocktail was incredibly refreshing and tasted just like Paan in a liquid form. The baby goat kebab was the most tender kebab I've ever had, and the Nawabi Lamb Kebab was packed with flavor and absolutely delicious. I also really enjoyed the Old Delhi Korma, which was perfect for sharing between two people. My colleagues sampled all of the old fashioneds, and they were all excellent. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for amazing food and drinks! We loved the decor which was dimly lit but very stylish. There was plenty of seating and space for all sizes of groups.
Kebab aur Sharab is a large resturant with a well decorated interior. It's also one of the best Indian Restaurants in the city. The flavors here are really good and anything off the menu works. The drink selection is great, the cocktails actually taste good which is rare for Indianized cocktails. I heavily recommend the masala soda. A soda with assorted spices which is very refreshing. Overall I strongly recommend this place. If you are looking for the best Indian places in the city then come here.
This was our second visit to this location in two years, and we were happy to see they've managed to fix some of the logistical and wait time issues with service during their release rush, while maintaining the overall taste and presentation of their food. To any Indian food veterans visiting this place: yes, you can both dive fully into some of their rarer (for NYC) menu items, as well as enjoy all the old classics. Their mushroom galouti kebab is astonishingly close to "true" mutton galoutis in taste, and we were genuinely surprised with how well they do the classic paneer tikka masala and butter chicken. We ended with the popular saffron pancakes. They're not just insta-good, they're genuinely good. If I did have some nits left over this time, they're with their mostly-unchanged beer selection (would appreciate some more variety in lighter drinks in general). The ambience too, though pretty great overall, was mildly let down by one of our tables being a tad wobbly. We were seated in the enclosed outdoors area, which I'd actually recommend as the inside seemed fairly noisy. We'd be happy to revisit for the next special occasion!
This was highly recommended by my friend, so we decided to meet here for dinner last night. The prices are quite high, so be prepared for a high bill. The service was excellent. Our server was very friendly and constantly kept checking on us. The cleaning staff were taking away dirty plates proactively. When we didn't like one of the items, both the manager and the chef came out to get our feedback and why we didn't like the dish. Now to the food. We got the following: - Aaloo Tikki Chaat: this was really good. The Tikki was crispy, well cooked, and I loved all the chutneys it was surrounded with. - Dahi Kabab: this does taste like it has paneer in it, but it is hung yoghurt. It's very good and worth trying if you like yoghurt that way. - Daal Makhani: I'm a Daal Makhani snob, being from Delhi. It was not the best I've had, but quite good. - Saag Paneer: this was ok. Nothing special. - Chai Cake: I wasn't a fan of this dessert. The ice cream is not sweet at all, and the cake was a bit dry for my liking. - Saffron Pancakes: this is a twist to the traditional Rasmalai. But I loved the tiny chocolate pieces on it. The whole dessert was delicious. Overall, a great place to dine. The seating is a bit tight, but then it's NYC. The non-vegetarian options I hear are way better than the vegetarian ones.
Great service and cool ambiance, seemed like each part of the restaurant had a good vibe! We ordered quite a few dishes for the table- some favorites were the Butter Chicken Tikka Kebabs and the Bangin Baigan. Favorite from the night was the Chai Cake for dessert!
4.5/5 Kebab aur Sherab is a refined & creative taken on proper Punjabi cuisine. The menu is perfectly designed to include a choicest variety of mouthwatering items with quirky names. The ambiance gives off a modern Anglo-Indian vibe with chill desi beats playing in the background. Definitely try their paan cocktail, sheermal, dal makhni, bangin' baingan, famous butter chicken, paneer shashlik and Chai cake. Roomali roti is overrated and is not soft as you'd expect. It almost tasted like tortilla. Service is top notch. Prices are a bit high but can't complain. Kebab aur Sharaab is more than it's name, it's a solid Indian spot that pushes boundaries- will surprise you & delight you.
I made a reservation for my mom's birthday here. After reading the reviews I made sure I put in a note about the table being in the main dining room. When we got there they offered us a table in the front area. This was what I had feared so I discussed with them. They ended up accommodating us on a two person table inside the main dining room. I did prefer being squished into a smaller table over being in the front. It seems they didn't receive my note with the reservation and they said that tables are automatically assigned. There is a huge difference in my opinion between the main dining room and the front room. The food was quite excellent and they pay a lot of attention to presentation as well. We were often looking over at other tables as the food arrived in unique ways. We ended up ordering the purple yam chaat. It was nice but needed a bit more yogurt. It reads a little dry otherwise. Unfortunately the wagyu kebabs were not available so we ended up with the rib eye seekh. I thought it was excellent. We also got chicken tikka and biryani. Both were excellent. I have to especially mention some things you get at all restaurants but they are a bit more special here- their mango lasso and garlic naan. It's simply so much better here. The best part of the night was the dessert of course. While I am the main person with a sweet tooth, we managed to finish two full desserts between three people. We got the chai cake and the saffron pancakes. The saffron pancakes have a beautiful presentation with the dry ice. Between the smoky pancakes and the clapping crew, we managed to fully surprise my mom who really enjoyed the birthday spectacle (while being a little embarrassed). Overall it was a great night. The manager checked in several times due to the mishap in the beginning. Overall, it was a memorable night for us.
