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

Best Chicken Tikka Masala Anywhere – The Kebab Factory serves the best Indian food I have ever had. I've taken friends and family to the Kebab Factory over the last year or so and everyone raves about the food. So delicious. The staff is friendly and the service is always quick. Their complimentary soups are incredible. The best thing about the Kebab Factory, though, is the chicken tikka masala. It is SO GOOD. Spicy but sweet but tangy and awesome. Seriously. Just go and try it - you won't regret it!

Best Indian Buffet in Boston – The most mind-boggling spread of delicious Indian food ever! You just can't go wrong with the Kebab factory lunch buffet. Be prepared to wait your turn to be seated. Its a little crowded in there, but ITS WORTH IT!

Best Indian Food! – I just saw the Best Of Citysearch list for Indian Restaurants and was surprised that Kebab Factory wasn't listed there. Instead, there were quite a few awful restaurants which I wouldn't step into again! Bottomline, BOC reviewers have no clue what good Indian food really is! I have eaten at their buffet and ordered off the menu, and both were excellent. The place does get crowded on the weekends at lunch - so either go in early, or be prepared to wait a bit! Unlike other Indian restaurants, their buffet m... read more

best indian preparation of chicken kebabs near Boston – Being from Bombay, we tend to be picky about food at Indian restaurants in the US. However the Kebab Factory has become our favourite place near Boston for eating North Indian style Indian food especially meat dishes (chicken, goat or lamb). Have been here for dinner on some special occassions, and once for a weekend buffet. We enjoyed all the dishes, we tried so far. Of special mention are the "Pepper chicken kebabs" and "The Curry" which are excellent. Each and everyt... read more

Our Favorite any night – We order from here often and it is a great place to take friends. There is something for everyone and it is all very good. I have never had soup at an Indian restaurant before and theirs is so good that sometimes we just order some soup and naan. The best soups are the spinach soup and the mushroom soup! Also particularly good (and unique) is the Tandoori Mahi Mahi. The servers are all attentive and very nice, making this an all around favorite restaurant of ours.

It's all about the food... – If it's GREAT indian food you want, THIS is THE place. Every single dish tastes different (not the same base curry sauce in every dish). You can taste the freshness and smell the spices in each and every dish. This is what Indian food is all about. Place is a bit small and the servers are a bit 'inexperienced' but who really cares - when the food tastes this GREAT - you tend to over look everything else. Parking is a pain - but again, when you are chewing on that juicy chicken tandoori - you forg... read more

Fantastic Indian... you won't be disappointed! – The only con about The Kebab Factory is barely a con - the prices are a little high but the food and service makes up for it. The tasty cuisine and generous portions will almost make you forget the prices! The service is also pretty good to the point where they will usually offer you a complimentary appetizer (tasty soup) - even with take-out! I haven't tried too many different dishes since I can't seem to get enough of the few that I have tried - EXCELLENT Tikka Masala! The b... read more

Not just your average neighborhood restaurant – Situated halfway between my office and home, it escaped my notice for months because of its upscale look and slightly higher menu prices. Then one day I decided to try their takeout. While waiting for my food, the hospitable staff tempted me with a small cup of complimentary soup. I took a moment to relax in the silk-covered ambiance before venturing back into the world. Now I'm something of a regular fixture at the Kebab Factory, especially on a slow lunch day. Their lunch buf... read more
