| - Laveen has very few choices for restaurants and most of them are typical fast food, so I was thrilled when I saw a restaurant with the word "Kabob" on it!
We stopped in and at first glance, Kabob Express looks like your typical hole-in-the-wall take out joint, but there was a line of people ordering ahead of us and we soon found out why.
The woman at the cash register was very friendly and helpful. I ordered Chicken Korma and my fiancee ordered the Beef Biryani and we ordered some garlic naan. I'll preface this by saying that I'm a huge fan of Indian and Pakistani food and have been eating it since I was a child, back in NYC, so I'm very picky about my Indian and Pakistani food and have high expectations.
If you're looking for a restaurant with decor and ambience, this isn't it. This place is all about the food. It has red plastic booths (one of which was loose when I sat on it) with chairs, and purple walls. There are boxes stacked towards the back. That was a turn off and truthfully it's the only reason I gave this restaurant four stars and not five.
We didn't have to wait too long for our food which was brought to us in plastic take out containers.
My Chicken Korma was rich, creamy and flavorful, filled with a lot of dark meat chicken. It wasn't too salty (as some korma tends to be). The one word to describe this dish is "heaven". It's absolutely the BEST Chicken Korma I've ever eaten in my life. So good, in fact, that even though I was full, I wanted to continue to eat.
My fiancee enjoyed his Beef Biryani...a large bowl of rice with chunks of beef, which he said weren't tough but they were flavorful. It's served with a sliced lemon and cold hard boiled egg on top (He wasn't fond of the hard boiled egg).
The garlic naan was home made and fresh and absolutely delicious. Dipping that in the korma sauce was incredible.
Prices are a little on the high side for a take out restaurant, we paid about $30 for our meal (including a can of Pepsi that we shared....they didn't have ice to serve fountain drinks that night).
If you're looking for really great food in Laveen, this is the place. If you're looking for great Indian/Pakistani food anywhere in the Phoenix area, this is worth the drive. I know they just opened but if they can spruce up their decor a bit and get some ice, this place is going to make a mint.
Fantastic food!!
