Those of you who live in Laveen know that there are a lot of restaurants around here now, but it's usually the same old stuff over and over. I saw Kabob Express a few months ago and hadn't tried it. I wanted to do something different today.
I went there this morning after they had been open for just a few minutes; there weren't any other customers at the time. I had seen a review about the butter chicken and wanted to try that out. the ladies at the front were very friendly and gave me some suggestions. I went ahead and ordered the butter chicken curry (medium heat [I like my Indian food spicy but I wanted to gauge their spice first]) and some garlic naan. They cooked it up relatively quickly, about 10 minutes, and I took it home.
When I cracked open that container, all I could smell were the warm spices from that sauce. The rice? Perfectly cooked and fragrant. Popped the curry and rice in a bowl and took a bite. Maaaaannn... where have I been? That butter chicken was unbelievable. It was white meat and was a little firm, but the immense flavor of the dish made that easy to overlook. The sauce had a nice spice to it that lingers in the aftertaste (may try it a little spicier next time!). All of it goes great folded up in a piece of that chewy, crispy naan.
If you haven't had Kabob Express or Indian food in general, give it a try. Don't expect to pay fast food prices for it, either; this is the good stuff and it's well worth it.
