Kabab Hut off Route 40 in Catonsville

I tried this place last Friday for lunch. My feelings are mixed. I really, really wanted to like it. Problem number one....the time. I ordered my food (kebab hut platter and chicken samosas) to go and there was another couple waiting for their food as well. It took over 40 minutes to get my food. I really didn't want to spend that much time which was why I ordered it to go, had they told me it was going to be a lengthy process, I probably would have just eaten there. The only time I got any communication that my food was going to be ready was 30 minutes after I ordered when young lady came in to work and noticed that I'd been sitting for a while. She asked if I'd been waiting long and checked on the status of my order. I appreciated this since the gentleman who'd taken my order disappeared in the back for quite some time.

When I finally got the food and got to the car, I opened my samosas and they were veggie, not chicken. And they weren't hot at all. I would have gone back in to get what I'd ordered but I I feared it would take another 20 minutes I didn't have. I must say that the naan was the BEST naan I'd ever had. It reminded me of naan I'd had at Indian restaurants in Kenya or the UK. Very light and buttery. Didn't taste like bisquick (thank goodness, lol!). The chicken tikka was very good, well seasoned and juicy. The lamb was a bit mealy and chewy which surprised me. I didn't care for the beef kabob at all. I knew it was ground, but it tasted like liver and I wasn't able to eat it since I hate liver.

All in all, if I was in the neighborhood again and didn't have to worry about time, I might try it again to see if it would be any better. Overall I was very, very disappointed. But they did have great naan. I'd like to see what their chapati is like!
