Chutney Kabob House

Changed ownership a few months ago (spring ’15?). Nothing but good experiences here. Best naan I’ve found (for the value) anywhere. Quick (10 – 20 minutes) prep time to recurve our food. Pros: exceptional taste to their various curries. Awesome vegetable dishes. Just spicy enough for my mangiacake palette. Cons: a little to saucy for my preference. Not enough proportion of meat to curry some with of their dishes. The kebabs seem a little over processed for my liking. Wish there was a choice to just have plain white rice to temper some of the spicier dishes. Always had takeout from here, and most often at pickup time there’s one or two tables being served. From parties to couples to families to those flying solo. Quite a cultural cross section of patronage too. If I see Indian/​Pakistani patrons at an Indian restaurant or Italian customers at an Italian restaurant, it’s usually another signal to me that the food is good. Very tasty and currently appropriately priced.

Ordered takeout from here a couple weeks ago. We ordered chicken Korma and palak paneer. Both were tasty but the korma was definitely NOT Korma! It was some other sort of curry. And the portion size is way too small. They charged $ 9 for the curry and there was only 4 small pieces of chicken! You can find really good Indian and Pakistani food were they don’t rip off their customers. The same thing happened to some friends who ordered from here as well.

I have no idea if the 1 review bad 1 star review person is a competitor — we went here and it was phenomenal. We had the Chicken Kahari with Chicken Biryani, Naan, Paratha, and a sample appetizer dish with Samosa’s; Fish; Chicken; and Pakora that was to die for. Honestly this was better than my friend’s mothers (who is Pakistani).
I didn’t find it expensive — I found it reasonable. The place is very clean — immaculate. Mostly take out (we ate in we were the only one’s eating in) — but we sat there and the place was hopping with people coming and going for take out. 1 star only taken away for Naan and Paratha (it was good but not great). The food on the other hand was absolutely good.
There was a British lady picking up her curry order — so for you Brits who know crave a good curry this is absolutely the place.
The serving size was huge we were stuffed and couldn’t actually finish our Biryani so I have no idea why the 1 star person who has only given 1 review said the portions were small — this is absolutely not our experience.
This place is family run — and they care about their food — its the next best thing to going for a real home cooked Pakistani/​Indian dinner. Honestly I liked the food. I like Food Time on Kingston Road — and — this place (both are excellent).
Try this place — not sure what that bad 1 person review is about — as it is polar opposite of our experience
Oh we had their Chai also — excellent chai

I am going to give this place the 5 star hidden gem it desrves :)
In my quest to find the best Indian food in Durham, I stumbled in here. I ate the Chicken Tikka Masala, and no joke used these guys for my wedding!
As you can see from my Unilocal postings, I have seen many Indian /​Pakistani Restuarants in the city. This is your Durham spot!
The chef behind the counter is a well spoken polite chef. My pleasure eating here!
Try their chicken tikka masala to start. See if you agree.

I love the food. but dining here is awkward. I have never seen people eat here. They don’t know what they are. they setup like fine dining but they can’t pull it off. I think they should just be focused on takeout and mall style dining. I mean who lays out so much white table cloth for curry dishes. Food is great!

Amazingly big portions. Very reasonable $ wise. Good ambiance considering the locale. Loved their fish curry with Roghni naan. Flavorful Tandoori chicken. Rice was on the spicy side but maybe it’s just me. I’m a foodie and I thoroughly enjoyed the food, which was made fresh at the time. Did I mention I was there around 9:45ish? (P.M) — on a week night.
TWO THUMBS UP guys!
Went here again today for lunch pick up and for $ 11 — he gave me 2 Roghni naans and fish curry in a very re-​usable container along with Salad and Samosa AND rice! Big portion size and definitely worth a trip.
