Kebab County, Cyber City, Gurgaon

 

[Rated: 2.5/5] Set on the Haveli theme and specializing in Kebabs, the 80-seater restaurant is caught in the miller trap and now also serves Thai & Chinese cuisine. We decided to go ahead with the Indian food which as per the restaurant is their forte.

Kebab County is popular among the working executives of Cyber City but we found the food to be mediocre. Our order of The Kebab Platter (360/285) with 8 varieties of Kebabs each and the main course platter (300/225) which included Dal, main dish, Rice, Raita and Parantha/Naan of choice in both non-veg and veg options were sufficient for 5-6 diners. Great value for money with nice interiors but wished the food could match.

All kebabs were partially pre-done and weren’t fresh. The Stuffed Tangri had no flavor of the stuffing and the Tandoori Prawns were stale and should clearly be avoided. The huge platter soon became cold and it would be a good idea to serve them in a sizzler plate. The Kadai Murgh in the main course was all masala with no taste, and the Ghost Biryani couldn’t be called a biryani at all. Still, the so-called Biryani with soft and tender chunk of meat tasted well with the nice Burani Raita served along. We did like the cold and aptly sweetened Phirni (120). In kebabs, Stuffed Tandoori Aloo with stuffing of Paneer and Papad, and Dahi Ke Kabab were nice and cooked to our liking.

The mock tails – Grape Fruit Mojito and Fruit Punch (150 each) were nice but LIIT (250) was on the sweeter side and lacked the kick. Hope the restaurant realizes that the tray is meant for serving and not for eating food. We were informed that after 7pm the dining section of the restaurant is turned into a dance floor with a live DJ, though with the world cup match scheduled on the day of our visit, life went on as usual.

Happy hours on drinks seem to never end at the Kebab County and accompanied with huge platters, the restaurant may not be serving a gourmet meal but is surely a value for money for satiating the post-office thirst of the working population in this part of the town.
