About this business
Way back in the 14th century, the Moghuls invaded Hindukush, "the land of milk, honey and other rich treasures". In return, they left behind a trail of destruction, and well, the kebab. The kebab was, at the time, just meat sprinkled with salt, which was then barbecued and gobbled up by this army on the move. But soon it caught the fancy of Indian chefs. And by their very capable hands, the kebab was perfected into a sublime art. They choose the finest meats, created an amazing array of marinades in which these meats were tr... read more

a steal. – The only reason I ever went to Kebab Factory was because it was in my neighborhood. Since it's on the corner of Washington and Beacon Streets, no one (unless they are intending to do so) would probably stumble upon this place and go, "gee, I think I'll eat here tonight"... since it's really far out of the way for anyone to wander to. Still, it's absolutely worth the trip, even for the lunch buffet. I see a lot of Indian restaurants get love because of their frequent diners at their locations, but Kebab Factory is ... read more
Excellent Buffet – I often go to the Kebab Factory for lunch with colleagues. Its guaranteed to impress out of town clients, and new customers. However, I find that the spices are often bland (compared to other Indian restaurants) and the buffet menu does not change often. Still, if there is a place in Cambridge/Somerville that will definitely fill my appetite, this is it!
Best Indian Food In MetroBoston – This was the second time I had had Indian food, but I went with a seasoned veteran of a friend to dinner, and we were both blown away. I'm not one for spicy foods, but everything was available in different heat ranges, with the standard being mild. The Chicken Tikka Masala was my favorite dish, and their Kali Mirch Ke Tikkey (chicken dipped in cream cheese) was confused for fish by my friend at first, because it was so tender and delicious. The complimentary soup at the beginning of the meal... read more
Incredibly rude. – Incredibly rude service. We had a reservation for 8pm. We were seated shortly after 8, but the waiter took forever to take and bring our order. We got our food at perhaps 9 or 9:15. The food was good and we ate at a normal (even fast) speed. Before we could even think about ordering dessert, the manager asked us to leave because they had made another reservation for 9:30. She acted nice about it but that was the rudest thing I've ever had happen to me at a restaurant.
disappointed! – I had been looking forward to trying this restaurant for awhile. I went there for the first time the other day and was HUGELY disappointed. The service was awful and slow. The food made me feel ill afterwards. And worst of all- on the credit card slip we left a 17-18% tip- we later noticed on our bank statement that they had INCREASED THE TIP to exactly 20%, despite the fact that we clearly filled out the credit card slip with the tip and total amount and signed it. For that reason, I will never go to this re... read more
Worst Service and Food, you shouldn't go there if you are from India or Pakistan, you'll be discriminated. – I felt very disappointed, after I was discriminated by one of fellow from my own country. I can tell; I was ignored because, I am from India. I asked the waiter, actually I think he is a Manager (Indian or Pakistani) or related to him, I asked him for refill my water and request some extra spices, he never came back to my table, for 30 minutes. I end up living without eating my meal. There was an American couple seati... read more
Take out service is awful! – It used to be my favorite Indian restaurant till I tried their take out. When I ordered they said it took 20 min. I arrived 20-25 min later the order was not ready. I waited for 10 more min and after that they informed me that they misplaced my order, so I had to wait another 20 min. The staff was not attentive and they could not provide me any answer about the status of my order when I came in. The restaurant is not cheap and the level of service is expected to be comparable to any other place i... read more
The best Indian food you're likely to eat on this continent. – You'd never know by the pizza parlor exterior that this is the best Indian restaurant in the Boston area -- maybe the best I've ever experienced in America or during several trips to India. The multi-regional dishes are imaginative, fresh-tasting and (according to my Indian friends) authentic "like my Punjabi mother used to make on her best days." The service staff are not particularly helpful or friendly, but they're efficient enough. The lunch buffet, usually f... read more
Best Indian Food in Boston....Even for Vegetarians! – The name "kebab factory' is deceptive. My friends wanted to eat here, and I decided I'd just find some vegetarian food nearby since a kebab place would most likely have nothing for me to consume. But the weekend lunch buffet had enough chaat and vegetarian entrees to choose from! The paneer was the softest I have ever eaten, almost like the paneer you get in India! The rajma was also brilliantly made. The samosas and halva just added to the fun. The buffet cost only $10 p... read more
