| - I don't often do deliveries for dinner but feeling lazy, my boyfriend convinced me to hunt for a place I wanted to try on an online delivery site. Taking a look at a bunch of different menus, we decided on Best Kabab and Karahi. Although this place only has one other Yelp review, the prices of this place make it worth checking out.
We made a large order online consisting of Lamb Biryani, Karahi Gosht, Aloo Baingan, BBQ Lamb Chops, Beef Kebab Wrap and three different types of Naan (Tandoori, Butter and Garlic). Shortly after ordering, we received a call telling us they didn't have Aloo Baingan and BBQ Lamb Chops. Disappointed, we replaced the dishes with Butter Chicken and Palak Paneer.
The expected delivery time was stated to be an hour but 30 minutes after ordering, we heard a knock on the door. Talk about quick delivery! We eagerly opened the packages excited to dig into the yummies bundled within.
The Karahi Gosht (a lamb dish made with bell peppers and spices), Butter Chicken (a mild curry with a tomato base), and Palak Paneer (pureed spinach with chucks of cottage cheese) were among the first dishes revealed. They arrived in small round Styrofoam containers, smartly wrapped with cling wrap to prevent leakage. These were definitely smaller than what we had expected but for the prices we paid, it seemed reasonable. Next we took out a large Styrofoam container, it was the Lamb Biryani. The portion was huge and it was filled to the brim with rice.
We unwrapped the Naans and couldn't wait to dig into the deliciousness that awaited us. Butter Chicken is one of my favourite Indian dishes so I've had it at quite a few places but this place didn't disappoint. The sauce was nice and creamy yet it wasn't too thick. The pairing went well with the plain and butter naan. The chicken itself was good and cooked nicely but it was nothing special and didn't really stand out for me.
The Lamb Biryani was a dish I really wanted to try at this place. Being Hakka (and having most of my mother's side of the family born and raised in India), my mother always made biryani and it was always one of my favourite dishes as a kid. I really enjoyed the biryani at Best Kabab and Karahi. The rice was beautifully seasoned and the chunks of lamb were tender and fell apart as you picked it up. My only concern was the bone in the lamb... I wasn't expecting it to have the bone-in but at least the bones were large so you could see and feel them before putting it into your mouth.
I've actually never tried paneer before and it was recently suggested that I give it a try by a friend. I'm not a huge fan of cottage cheese so I was kind of hesitant on ordering it but since they didn't have the aloo, I figured it was a good time to give it a try. I adore spinach; it's one of veggies that I enjoy the most, whether it is sautéed, boiled, steamed, or raw. I love spinach. So when I tried the Palak Paneer, I wasn't surprised that I was a fan. However, I was surprised that I was a fan of the paneer chunks. The softness and smoothness of the paneer made it really appealing to have in my mouth. The texture was different from the texture you expect in a tub of cottage cheese (the westernized ones) you get at the grocery store. Although it does have some similarities in texture, the subtle taste paired great with the creamy spinach. I had most of this dish with the garlic naan and it was great. I had never had Palak Paneer before but it'll be a dish I'll be ordering from now on.
The Karahi Gosht wasn't a dish I ordered so I just had a small bite. I don't do well with spicy so my palette was completely on fire. However, what I did taste was a tender lamb covered in spices and packed with a spicy kick. It didn't taste bad but it was too spicy for me. Overall, I had a pretty decent experience with Best Kabab and Karahi. The prices are fair and the portions are not bad. I do believe that I'll be ordering here again and I'm curious on trying some of the other dishes they have to offer.
