Kabob Curry for Indian/Pakistani food in Long Beach

After walking around the Long Beach Comic and Horror Convention, we took a short 15-minute walk to Kabob Curry. Not an inspired name, but after looking at the brochures, Ian thought a lamb pizza would be worth trying.

The place serves Halal meat if that concerns you. We ordered mango lassi ($2.99), sweet lassi (yogurt with sugar and rosewater for $2.50), #38 lamb pizza ($7.99) and #30 palak paneer ($6.99 a la carte). We also added an order of garlic naan ($2.50).

Both lassi were not particularly sweet or thick. Who doesn't love garlic naan? The lamb pizza was thick with cheese, most likely cheddar and Monterey jack. The result was gooey and completely overshadowed the few chunks of lamb. The pizza also included some very anemic looking tomatoes (too pallid to be called red or green) and red onions. The base of the pizza is naan.

The palek paneer was better, but very, very spicy.

This is a casual restaurant and they played Indian music throughout (modern Bollywood I'm guessing).

The service is good, not great. The lassi came to the table with a bit of stick liquid dripping down the side. A good wait person would have wiped that with a damp cloth before or after. I didn't it myself.

Although we mentioned the 10 percent discount and they didn't argue, when the bill came, we didn't have a discount taken from our bill.

They weren't particularly busy. There was only one other customer there and he waited for his friend and then ordered just as we were leaving.
We'd be willing to give Kabob Curry another try, perhaps for those naan rolls.

Overall, I'd give it a three-star rating. ***
