For a place that claims to be krazy about kebabs, this one sure doesn’t live up to its name. The main dining area on the first floor comprises 5 tables / 20 covers. The décor could probably be a little more imaginative, as all the tables are laid end to end without any variation in theme or colour. I must admin they’ve made the most of the cramped interior space available and have even managed to fit in a bar. It doesn’t serve alcohol though, till the first of March 2008, when they expect their liquor license.
Coming to the food. Like I said, it doesn’t seem to live up to its name. We sampled their Bullet Kebabs, described as ‘Fried spicy mutton balls, served with BBQ sauce, Arabic pickle and salad on vinaigrette dressing’, I couldn’t find a trace of BBQ sauce or the vinaigrette dressing. The Arabic pickle was there though, in the form of three beetroot sticks in brine. The Kadhai Chicken was the usual fare – chicken in a thick, sweetish, onion-y, spicy gravy that was nothing to write home about. The Methi Chaman was again a normal paneer dish disguised under a layer of fried methi. If you’re there you may like to try their vegetarian and non-vegetarian kebab platters available in two sizes.
I did note that service was eager, attentive and friendly. Visit if you must, only if there is no other alternative in sight.
Meal for Two: INR 1200 + taxes

Hi Sid
i visited kebab krazy it was not tht bad an expereince i picked up nasheeley murgh kebabs and they were really nice in tast can compare this place with other joints like kebab factory or anything but shammi kebabs and nashiley murgh are worth going.
Also after a hectic day in office there are hardly any people there so i like the solitude to sit there in peace unlike fortune cookie or yellow peppers and definitely not kabab factory.
otherwise ya the ambience is boring nor do u have a great pick on wine or other alcohol
hey but thnx
regards
yagika
Hey Yagika: Glad to know you had a good time there. I generally have issues with places promising things in the form of words or pictures and then not delivering.
Hi Sid!
I went to Kabab Krazy I quite liked the ambience as well as the new alcohol menu specially the chuski shots .
I enjoied their wide variety of kebabs specially the shammi were mouth melting.Not only this even the cocktails were great.
The ambience was very soothing away from the hustle and bustle which you find in most of the places these days.
over all it was a very good experience.I would like to vist this place again with my close ones as this place makes you feel very cosy .
@Swati: Cool! Sounds like I’ll have to go visit again and post some updates on this piece.
heh did u visit kabab Krazy!!!!!! their kebabs are really good.Cant stop prasing their food.
What the heck is a chuski shot? I am into drinks and mixology and am very interested. I googled it but no dice.
@Liquor and Drink: I haven’t had it before, I can guess however. A ‘chuski’ is an Indian ’sweet ice’, where ice is grated, shaped into a ball like shape around a small stick, much like a pop sickle. This is then dipped into sweet syrups and other flavorings. It is served as is, in bowl to catch the drippings. In Hindi to ‘chus’, prounced ‘choos’, means to ’suck’, which is how to ‘eat’ a chuski.
I’m guessing the ball of ice is also dipped into an alcohol mixture, so you have to suck the alcohol out of the ice. I’m sure it must be an interesting way to imbibe your alcohol.
