Kebab's

Location: Chatan on the 58, 2nd floor of Obbligato building
Hours: open for lunch on Fri-Sun, otherwise dinner only, unsure what day closed
Kebab's has decent ocean view, at least until yet another apartment building or hotel goes up between it and the water. We went for lunch, hoping for a set meal. The lunch set offers only one type of curry (masala, choose the meat/veg for approx 1000Y) with naan. Salad and drink cost extra. However, all the other dishes are available a la carte, with most curries in the 800-1200Y range. Rice and naan are extra, around 200Y for a small serve of rice or a decent sized naan. We ordered two different curries, one was chana masala and the other we can't quite remember but also tomato based. We ordered them hot, and to our surprise they actually were spicy. The curries were less creamy than at Krishna, although there was plenty of oil. They were also using the right types of spices, like real cardamom. So the curries were decent, but not that memorable. And they both tasted quite similar. Given the lack of a real discount at lunch, it probably makes more sense to go at dinner. And to get two dramatically different curries (like a masala and spinach paneer).
