The Great Kabab Factory serves King size menu with different varieties of mouth watering starters. Galoti Kabab is always Delicious. Best place for non vegitarian who have good capacity of eating and love to eat fish, chicken and meat.

Aleays love to visit this place. Very nice atmosphere and well maintained place with educative staff.

The taste and service is great for both veg and non.veg food. I tried the fix menu in that place.all was good but the dessert could have been improved. I day i went it was kesar penda,pan ice cream n gulab jamun for the dessert. Undoubtably the taste of kesar penda was good but hv expected better dessert item.

I really liked their concept of fixed menu. Sometimes it's perfect to have the burden of choice taken off from your shoulders.
🌟
And as per the name "The Great Kabab factory" , they are specialist in Kababs. Their Kababs were really silky and smooth in texture.🤩🤩 And definitely I am in love with their biryani, Biryani had an amazing aroma.😋😋
🌟
And and .....how can it ends without desserts. Their desserts were really unique and delicious.

Polite and friendly staff. Contemporary decor. Set menu in veg and non veg that has changed over time. Some Kebabs are to die for. One of the finest North Indian restaurant in Ahmedabad.

Amazing Experience! The ambience was good and the service was also nice. The food especially the red meat dishes were delicious. The galouti kebab was the Dish of the evening. It was soft and filled with spice. The mutton curry was beautiful. The biryani as well! All in all Great experience. Should visit!

Lovely, personalized dining experience with extremely courteous staff and efficient service. What's best is that the each extra helping of each dish at the buffet is also served piping hot at your table, as are the desserts and main course items, though a buffet spread is also laid out. The kebabs are top notch, with the galauti kebab, mutton seekh kebab and fish kebabs deserving special mention. They use bhetki fish, as opposed to basa which is used in a whopping majority of good eateries, including almost all 5-star and 7-star restaurants. The biriyani in the main course is the only let down, but then again, only Kolkata and Lucknow serves proper biriyani (as anyone who has eaten out in these cities will say). The rabdi and stiffed gulan jamun stand out among the dessert items. The meal ends on a sweet note with mitha pan and Ambavadi pan being served at your table. The waiters are very well trained and helpful, and the chef patiently listens to your suggestions. Friendly, attentive staff who are careful to ensure you can enjoy your dinner at leisure. This specialty restaurant at Radisson Blu is absolutely worth recommending if one is looking for a Mughlai/North Indian dinner in the city, with mouthwatering kebabs.

Taste for food is best no doubt in that and the ambience here is nice...the best must have was lemon fish tikka it was overwhelmed like i never had those be4...good place for non veg lovers but inspite this i would suggest barbeque nation against this...coz here there were 2-3 dessrrts only and prawns were just like ok...pastries and other desserts should also be updated here according to the price they take😀

It was 16 May, our 7th Anniversary and also celebrating the start of Ramadan..so treated ourselves for Kebabas..

Unfortunately they didn't had Al lacarta option in dinner.

Service person was wonderful and chef had made special mild chicken for my toddler which he enjoyed the most.

We had Veg and Non Veg both.. Options were good and taste was upto mark.

We went here with our staff and we were truly amazed by the variety of starters. The galouti kebabs were out of the world and repeated it few times. services were excellent too. Not even a single time we had to wait for anything we wanted. Great food.. Great service..we all came out full and content. :)

One of the places in Ahmedabad to relish the taste of Kabab’s. Its name defines the taste and hospitality they give us when we visit the place. The ambience makes it even more special with some vintage feel of Spanish culture. The galouti kabab is one a must have with main course including the daal makhani served with the biryanis and subjis.. and to end the aura of the place we are served with kesar phirni and gulab jamun. Its yummmmmm. They also give us the pleasure to meet the chef who prepares our meal. So we should visit it every once in a blue moon to relish the taste.

We were there for dinner on new year's Eve...

They accepted my reservation at last moment and allowed us.

We were last customer of that year and first customer of new year.

Being Non vegetarian i liked the buffet spread... They also served cake on that day..

Radisson itself is a brand and don't need any introduction.

The live music was also awesome.

Being a vegetarian, I will review the veg. buffet only.

The sabz galouti kebab was very soft and tasted perfect with peanut curd condiment. Paneer Tikka was also very soft and just right amount of spicy. I also liked the tandoori aloo and mushrooms starters. Bhutte and Pineapples can be given a miss, pretty average.

Main course could be made much better. It was below average to say the least, not at all a 5-star standard. The food was bland. That said, I really liked the chef going an extra mile to make garlic naan though it was not on the menu.

The Moong Dal Halwa and the Gulab Jamuns were made to perfection (no over/under cooking), and I apreciate it bevause it is very difficult to cook these desserts to perfection. Oozing with ghee, halwa was just right amount of sweet. Gulab Jamuns had pista filling and quite big. The paan ice-cream was also very good.

Starters: 5/5
Main course: 4/5
Dessert: 5/5

Service: 4/5
Ambiance: 4.5/5

The Great Kabab Factory- Radisson Blue is a must visit place if you are bored of eating non-veg buffets at every other hotel in Ahmedabad. The pictures can’t capture what the actual ambience deliver! We had buffet dinner. It was overall an awesome experience as the staff was very courteous and fully attentive!

P.S : Galouti Kabab, Watermelon Mocktail & Desserts were the show stealer.

It was a mix experience for me overall. The menu is crisp and lovely. Food was a bit above average but most of the food has over powering taste of elaichi. The flavour should be a balanced one. The service was a deal breaker for me. Wait time was high despite the room was not full and had to wait for considerable time to get next serving. Had to call them many a times to get served. The Kababs and all their desserts saved the day for me. They were exceptional. Must try moong ka halwa and Pan Ice-cream.

The kebab factory was on my list from a long time. But a huge disappointment for a brand name like Raddison Blu. The overall buffet was nothing that great except the galauti. The service was also average as we had to keep asking for water and that is the part which i hate. According to the food they serve the charges are also very high.

Your search for the best Galauti Kebabs (both veg and non veg) are super awesome. It is a must try.

Your search for the best Galauti Kebabs in town will end here. The starters are a delight, everyle one of them, however the best? Undoubtedly, the Galauti. Consistency seems to be their forte since i have been here thrice and have never found a single issue in terms of the quality.

The main course could definitely do with some variation/changes but the primary reason why anyone would or rather should go to such a place is to enjoy the kebabs.

The desserts though limited are effective with the highlight being their Paan Icecream. Other varieties include, Moong Dal Halwa, Gulab Jamun & Barfi.

All in all a fine place coupled with some real good food and service.

* I just hope they introduce prawns in the appetizers some day*.

This place is unique in its own way. As the name suggests, TGKF is no doubt the best when its comes to serving lip-smacking Kababs. Being a vegetarian, kebabs have a limited option for us. But this place is heaven for us with good variations.
The place is so pretty with soft ambiance. The theme is more of middle eastern and looks royal in its own way with a modern touch.
Coming to the food, they have a special menu everyday. Depends on the chef on what new he wants to serve his guests.
The menu comprises of kababs, main course and dessert.
We had 6 kinds of kebabs:
Subz Galouti Kabab: The best of the evening. Succulent. Mouth Melting.
Tandoori Aloo: Spicy. Flavourful. Perfect.
Ajwaini Phool: cauliflower marinated with ajwain and perfectly grilled.
Chocolate Paneer Tikka: I did not find anything chocolatey about this one. But the paneer was soft and nice.
Aloo Chukandari Kabab: very nice. Spiced heavily.
Ananas Ki Chaat: marinated and grilled pineapple! Soft, sweet, hot. Amazing!

Main Course:
Paneer Khatta Pyaz: tangy, less spicy and good in taste.
Vilayati Subz: mixed vegetables cooked in white curry.
Dal Kabuli and Dal Factory was really just like normal dal. nothing fancy about it.

Dessert:
Paan Ice cream: If you like paan, you'd love this one.
Gulab Jamun: so so so soft and gooey. Really good.
Coconut Kala Jamun: I liked this one.
Moong Dal Halwa: hot, no dry texture, subtly sweet. Good.

The staff was really polite and well trained. As one of my friend did not want paan ice cream, they got him chocolate one !

Amazing time I had here. Looking forward to more visits.

This place was on my radar for long time. So finally yesterday got chance to visit it. Being so famous in Ahmedabad, Redisson Blue doesn't need any introduction. Interior of the restaurant is as good as of Redisson property.

Coming to food part, we had different kebabs in starter which was really good. It was my first encounter with Galauti Kebab, a variety from south which was served to Nawab of Lucknow, Kebab was very soft and juicy, melted in my mouth as expected. So it is a MUST TRY variety in town. Other starters was also good.

Main course: We had one subzi in chicken, gravy was abit tangy in taste, chicken biryani was lacking in flavour (or after having such a flavourful kebabs we couldn't able to find it? ;) )

Deserts: Their famous pan ice cream and Gulab jamun is really good.

The Great Kebab Factory is the perfect name for a restaurant if you are a carnivore like me, hence I was super duper excited about going here for dinner. What's in a name? Everything.

The restaurant (part of Radisson) has a fusion interior setting with fairly comfortable seating arrangement.

I'll keep the review very simple and will split up what we had by course.

Starters - The main reason why I went, the kebabs! I must say these are some of the most tender and flavorful kebabs you will have in town. The Galauti kebabs especially are the one of the best I've had. Melt in the mouth. The other ones were really good too. Even the fish kebab, which was super soft and flavorful. Overall if I had to rate the started by themselves I'd rate them 4.5/5. They are really really yummy and definitely a reason so visit the restaurant.

Main course - One non veg dish (gravy) for the non vegetarians plus biryani and two veg dishes (gravy) plus daal AND pulao - this seemed a little unfair as I would think there would be more non vegetarians coming here then the veggies so it would have been better to have a choice in gravies at least. Also the main course was just average, it was alright - a disappointment after the fantastic starters. If they improve on this i see no reason why this restaurant can't be a 5 on 5... But that's not the case right now and the main course is totally avoidable.

Desserts - 4 varities - Paan Ice cream is a must have for all paan lovers, I was told it was superb but I got myself a scoop of chocolate which was also fantastic. Gulab jamun, kaala jaamun and moong daal halwa were also decent.

The service here is really good and you will definitely feel like royalty eating here.

Will I visit again? Yes! But I'll be having kebabs for main course as well 😁

The Great Kabab Factory - Where the Kabab is king, is one of the restaurant located at Radisson Blu.. Can be said their In House Kabab Factory.. Famous for some of the signature dishes and deserts like Subz Galouti Kabab, Tandoori Aloo Chatpate, Gulab Jamun and Paan Ice Cream..

Starting with ambience, small and simple restaurant with some less lights.. Soft instrumental music going on.. Service at its best.. Well trained staff as they were attentive towards table..

Talking about food, they have limited menu but it is also changed over some time of period and that was the good point.. We had some good dishes while my visit to this place with some foodie friends:

Subz Galouti Kabab - Signature dish.. Made with yam and some dal mixed with a perfect mixture of indian spices.. Must try.. Truly this one is Signature Dish.. Served with different chutney..

Chocolate Paneer Tikka - Was expecting something unique but it was less comparatively chocolate and more like only paneer.. Though paneer was too soft and fresh..

Tandoori Aloo - For spicy food lovers.. This one is for you.. Must try.. Loved it..

Apart from this we had Ajwaini Phool & Aloo Chukandari Kabab, both of these were again a good options.. Overall as name suggests, Kabab served over here or Kabab so far I have tried in Ahmedabad, this place serves the best one..

Sides - Mocktail & Ananas Ki Chaat - I ordered Mint Alaska which was similar to Mint Mojito.. Ananas Ki Chaat was nice to have in sides with kababs and main course..

Main course was having some good dishes like Dal Factory, Vilayati Subz & Paneer Khatta Pyaz but overall it was average one.. May be changing those dishes can work out or adding some unique dishes to this combination of menu can also work out.. Needs some improvement..

Gulab Jamun - It was single piece of Gulab Jamun but was too good.. Proper softness and proper sweetness.. Also it was hot and nothing can be better then this..

Coconut Kala Jamun - Again good option for deserts..

Moong Dal Halwa - Not a big fan of it so just tried one spoon..

Paan Ice Cream - Truly amazing.. Very few places in Ahmedabad serve this type of variety and it is worth to try here.. Was almost full so didn't had another one..

Presentations were nicely done.. Overall this place is one of the best for kabab lovers.. And I guess you should certainly give a try to have their signature dishes once as they are worth to have..

This one is a late post. I visited The Great Kebab Factory for a buffet dinner with my son. The restaurant has a sit down buffet. Dim lights, cozy seating and a quiet ambience makes this a great fine dine choice with family. The staff is very courteous and the service is excellent.
The dinner begins with a serving of salad with vegetables and fruits served with a strawberry chutney. My little one loved this and licked it off the plate thrice. Then was a samosa chat with tamarind chutney which satisfied my chaat cravings to quite an extent but since the samosa was not hot, i would have liked a spoonful or two of dahi over it.
For the starters we were served the gilawati kebab over a small parantha. Great starter. Reminded me of Tunday ke kebab. The other starters were the chicken tikka, fish fry and muttonseekh kebab. All of them were served hot and were tasty. The fish fry became my little boy's favourite.
The main course had mutton biryani and chicken korma with bread of our choice. Main course was as good as the starters. For desserts,they served us the moong dal halwa, burfi, paan flavoured ice cream and gulab jamun. The ice cream was the winner which had the most authentic taste. A great meal and complete value for money.
Must try for kebab and biryani lovers.

Giving an extra .5 for quality of people!

I chose to have dinner here one day during my recent stay in this hotel as I really like to have the grilled stuff! The food at this brand is always good! I have never had a bad meal. The options may be limited but whatever you may have is amazing.

I am especially thankful to the staff who were really willing to go out of their way to get me something from the menu which was not part of the set menu and did not charge me extra for the same. This really was a class apart!

This restaurant definitely serves the best kebabs in town! Each dish is perfectly cooked with the right amount of spices infused. Have been to this place multiple times and we always opt for the standard unlimited kebabs options.

My favorites are the fish and veg galouti kebab. The Galouti literally melts in your mouth. The drinks and the main course could be improved.

Ambience is nice and the staff is very well trained and courteous.

Visited for a celebratory dinner with family. The restaurant is located in the Raddison Blue hotel, and the decor theme is blue. And blue being my favorite color, I loved the ambiance. The collage of palaces/ forts in the accent wall, the dim blue lights and the chandelier gave it the royal look feat for the Kings. Live music was playing in the background to set the mood . And to our surprise, the whole restaurant was empty, and we were the only guests.

They have set menu for every evening which they serve on the table. We opted for 2 veg and 1 non veg options. Our server was very helping and courteous. He started serving us with Salads and raw fruits, four different types of chutneys and then followed the plethora of kebabs.

The veg menu featured Galouti kebab, faladhari kebab, matar ki tikki, paneer tikka, Grilled potato, Grilled cauliflower. Now I hardly like kebabs but these were all delicious. Galautis were melt in the mouth and I couldn't stop helping myself with second serving. Non veg menu had many interesting choices which my carnivores companions gorged to their heart's content.

By the time we were finished with kebabs, we were too full to have main course. The main course had limited choices, mutter paneer, mix veg sabji, daal tadka, and daal makhni, along with pulao, raita and choice of breads. The non veg menu had option of all the veg choices, methi chicken, and gosht biriyani. Out of which I only ate daal makhni. The flavors were on the spot, and it tasted delicious.

Then came the desserts. Hot hot Mung daal halwa, stuffed gulab jamuns, and chilled mango firani and Paan flavored ice cream. Loved all of them. And polished them all off despite the already full tummy 🙈😂 The meal ended with 2 types of Paan, and 4 types of traditional Indian mouth fresheners.

I'd say this is a must try place for all the carnivore foodies while their vegetarian companions can enjoy their meal too. Will definitely visit again when the weather is cooler, to enjoy the kebabs.

One of the best kebabs I ever had. Especially fallout I kebabs. It is quite heavy on pocket but the authentic taste of non veg kebabs are equivalent to the cost. A must visit for non veg lovers. The ambience was also a la grande. The sitar and tabla artists entertained us well. Himgauri Chaudhari

Lovely ambiance. Not crowded. Amazing service as expected. The kebabs are out of the world especially the Galouti which comes accompanied by a short bread (mini naan/roti). They also had like 3-4 biryanis in the mains - some festival going on - most of them were par or above par. The desserts were good especially the pan ice cream!

While the variety in the seated buffet is notice worthy, the food leaves a little to be desired, especially as compared to The Kebab Factory Outlets in other cities. The drinks are magnificent and super, super tasty

The kebabs are slightly dry and the service is average. But the food over all is decent. The desserts and the drinks are the prize takers in the meal.

Fantastic dining experience. There is a set menu of various types of Indian chicken and lamb with veg and non-veg options. Live traditional Indian musicians playing whilst you eat. Service was great and the overall dining experience was unique. Highly recommended if you enjoy Indian non-veg cuisine.

This place is awesome. I can only rate it 5 because it is not possible to beyond 5. This place deserves a higher than "5 rating". There is a choice of two restaurants at this hotel. I was determined to check out the Kabab Factory and boy was I rewarded.

I chose the non veg option; From the starters to the main course every thing was simply fantastic. There were many starters served which were simply out of this world. My wife chose the veg option and according to her that was great too.

The restaurant itself is very good too with live music and good decor.

I was here for a post-Christmas dinner with friends (and seniors) from the office. It had been on my wish list for a long time now, so I am finally, jubilant to be writing this review.
First Impressions
The hotel is very easy to find, even for someone who is here in Ahmedabad for the very first time. Initially, the hotel building can seem a little belittling. However, the facade and the foyer is not as grand as they would believe you to be, far less space outside the building. There were blue Christmas decorations in the foyer, which added to the overly blue theme of the hotel. The restaurant is on the first floor; however, they do not call it the first floor - they call it the R floor - whatever that means. The interior of the restaurant is blue, a slight overkill according to my perception. Apart from the blue colour, the décor seems to be done in a classy way.
Ambience – Can make you feel like a Smurf
The high ceilings give away an air of spaciousness and grandeur, and the solid wooden chairs and tables only add to it. The restaurant is large enough not to overhear conversations of the people sitting on the tables nearby; however, this is just my opinion, because when we were there to eat, there was no one else so that I wouldn’t know for sure. The lighting perfectly complements the colour and the interior décor – neither too bright nor too dim – just the way they should be.
The Food – The reason I am anywhere
I don’t remember a lot of fancy names (It seems that I am at that age now), but I remember one – Galouti Kebab – the reason we were there. Although, I have never had first-hand experience of eating Galouti kebab where one should eat it – Lucknow, but I liked this pretty well. It was an absolute delight, the moment you placed it in the mouth; it would melt right away. Even the other starters were great, especially the BBQed Paneer, the fish, and the lamb chop. The main course wasn’t as interesting as the starters – but it was pretty decent. The garlic naan was great, and the curries tasted pretty mild – no extremes in taste. The Dal Makhani was pretty decent, though, although not even near close to the best one I’ve had in Ahmedabad. The Biryani was just out of the world amazing. The Biryani was perfectly cooked, and all the spices that are added just for the smell were not present to ruin the taste. I could daresay that this is one of the best Biryani that I’ve had in a long time. Even the desserts were delectable, for a change.
The Service – the only disappointment
The host was quite hesitant when I walked in and told that I had a booking for five people. I would agree that it was pretty late, but then, we’d informed in advance that we were running late. It wasn’t so late that we’d went after their closing time – we were there about half an hour before. Even the waiters weren’t so enthusiastic and bright – it seemed as if they were obliging us by serving the food. The service was a certain disappointment to an otherwise very pleasant dinner.

May The Year 2017 Bring for You
Happiness, Success filled with Peace,
Hope & Togetherness of your Family & Friends.
Wishing You a *HAPPY NEW YEAR 2017*

What a great way to start my new year by writing a review. I have absolutely started loving this; however, it is increasing becoming difficult to find the time.

Okay, 1st day of the Year which makes it so important to have a GREAT lunch, but couldn't decide whether to go to The Great Kebab Factory or Dravida coz both the places are serving special brunch to usher in the New Year and since it was getting late and TGKF is near to where we stay, we went to the same and it was a great decision. Dravida's serving veg as well as non veg thali and somehow I had missef the Onam Sadhiya, so I was missing something close to my heart. Oh, those magnificent Appams 😚.

To get into the festive spirit, the hotel has done an incredible job by making a wonderful Christmas Tree and a snow covered cottage and you do feel the holiday vibe but knowing that tomorrow is a Monday, the first working day of the year, didn't last long. The restaurant is beautiful and the theme colour is blue. As you enter, on the left hand side is a beautiful picture of Shah Jahan looking so lovingly at Mumtaz Mahal as if she is only one he sees and the symbol of eternal love, The TAJ is seen in the background. The ceiling is high and beautifully done in blue, i guess it represents the sky and the chandelier is in shape of the Sun. Comfortable chairs and sofas, large wall to wall glass panel on one side with filmsy blue curtains, specially designed tableware all add to the fine dining experience. Live soft music and unobtrusive service sets you up for a great experience. Yes, TGKF provides an Experience.

Moving on to Food, absolutely great. Just want to give a tip, if you are in a group, order veg as well as non veg coz you can get to taste both and also, just skip the Chaat and stuff. Really appreciated that the server didn't mind and why would they, we were there to eat and they to serve. We started with the veg and non veg Galauti kebab which were amazingly mouth watering and melt in your mouth. Next was Bhatti ka Murg which is actually Chicken Tikka, now these were not any run-of-the-mill tikka, very tasty, juicy, succulent, rightly spiced and expertly prepared in a tandoor. By far the best chicken tikka I had. Beautiful. Murg Zaitun Seekh were mildly flavoured and so tender but didn't had any olive flavour or pieces, ditto for Mahi Shammi Kebab which is Fish Shammi Kebab were nice but just didn't taste of Fish at all. Tandoori Prawns were very fresh, tender, nice and crispy. Another chicken kebab we had but can't remember the name, it was Chicken minced stuffed kebab, so flavourful and tender. Next had the veg kebabs, Soya Shammi Kebab was the best, also, the grilled pineapple had a unique sweet and sour taste to it beside being served piping hot. The only starter I didn't like was the lamp Chops coz the quantity of raw papaya used to tenderise the Chops were too much and too strong, hence the same overpowered the Chops. Secondly the khada masala was a tad too much. What I appreciate is that they used natural tenderiser and not otherwise. For mains, absolutely loved the Mutton Kashmiri dish, don't remember the name. Succulent lamb in white cashew sauce had the most refined and luxurious taste. Masterfully prepared and went so well with the laccha paratha. Another honourable mention would be of the Dum Biryani; flagrant rice, tender meat, authentic taste, just perfect.

For desert we had the most amazing, rich Kesar Pista Phirni and Moong Dal Halwa. Wow, what a great way to end your meal or should I say, Thank You Lord for such an amazing first meal of the year.

P.S- This year let's party hard, work Harder, and love and take care of our Parents, Hardest.

Why is it that we see a Family at a restaurant enjoying dinner sans thier folks? Why? In 2017, let's change that and let's take our folks everywhere we go like they did when we were kids. Amen to That. What say you?😀

Yesterday, I hosted a dinner with family and friends. Non Vegetarian Meal was way off. They had ran out of good pieces of Mutton, Chicken dishes were ok. Fish was too oily, not expected from Radisson.

Vegetarian Meal was "OK", too spicy for people around. They never served "Dal Factory", a highly recommended dish.

Salad served was Botchy, fruits and vegetables were randomly size cut.

Good thing was fried dry Moong dal as salad along with various chutneys.

Overall experience was not good, as we realized, the server / waiter missed some dishes from the menu.

What a place! Loved the decor and the ambience. Really quite and the sounds of the water fountain in the background were lovely. What I loved the most was the live tabla and saurangi jugalbandi. So subtle and so mellow. Perfect mood setting and lovely lighting. The menu is short and does not include any drinks or soups. Straightaway starters which were so succulent and melt in the mouth. Absolutely divine kebabs that justify the name of the restaurant. The main course too was par excellence. All the non vegetarian dishes were cooked to perfection. I know a lot of people who prefer chicken over lamb for the sole reason that we don't get good lamb in our restaurants here in ahmedabad. But this place will change your mind about that. Whole 360 at that. Be it lamb kebabs or chops or laal maas, everything is spot on! Even the veg dishes with paneer or veg galoauti were very good. The desserts were something else all together. Be it the phirni or ice cream or badam halwa, it was all wonderful. After a long long time found a place that serves perfectly cooked dishes from the start to the end, that taste like a piece of heaven. Maybe you'll feel that this guy is exaggerating and maybe I had a really lucky day, but that's the truth in all of it. Lovely place. :)

Kebab mein haddi a rather common phrase we hear for someone whose third wheeling, well in reference to the restaurant here, they serve some of the best possible varieties from Subz Galouti, bhattey ke kabab to lazeez paneer tikka item. Dohra khumb the mushroom cheese deep fry is another lip smaking dish. The Vegetarian as well the Non Vegetarian options both are appetizing and each dish is flavoursome and exceptionally made to satiate your best needs. If you are a meat lover this place is indeed a treat for your cravings: the lamb, minced chicken and fish is their speciality!

Amazing place to satisfy your craving for non-veg food. Though I'm not a big fan of lamb meat, this place made me change my opinions. The galouti kabab & lagan ki chop made me say a new story for my meat liking. The food just melts in your mouth while you savor all the delicacies with an awed mind. Every kabab served there was without exception outstanding. This place is a true delight for all non-vegetarians.
Biryani in the main course is worth a mention. The starters were so soul-filling that I just skipped the other items in the main course.
Sadly desserts didn't match up to the grandeur of the starters. Desserts were a bit of a turn off. If desserts were improved, this place would give a tough competition to BBQ nation or any classic buffets
But overall the experience was amazing. Their ambiance is calm & quiet to have peaceful & deep conversations over food with your loved ones.
Cheers & Happy dining

Went for a sunday lunch. They do not have buffet exactly, it is unlimited lunch, served at the table. The Starters were way better than Bar B Q Nation's but the dessert section seriously lacked in variety, specially for a Rs1000+ meal. At lunch, no live music also. almost crowd-less. You wont get a feel of a grand feast at all. Ambiance is ohkey-ish. For a 5 star hotel , I expected more in grandeur and presentation.

Food quality was great though. Main course sucked as usual. I have no idea why can't anyone serve an authentic and good Biryani prep with a complementing chicken recipe. Anyway. Not worth 1000 bucks .but starters were lip smacking...

Oh kabab lovers , this place is for you ! I don't like kabab so much but I encouraged myself and gave it a try . Few of them were tasty like really tasty but as the portion turns out to be more than I can have . They serve both veg and non veg . Ambience was cool , not well lit . The service was good . But somehow I was not satisfied as I found it bit pricey .

The main course gravy was fairly decent.

There was a lot of delay in service towards the middle when the breads were being served, inspite of the restaurant just being at half capacity.

Superb tandoori preparations with

Absolutely Bad Bad Bad biryani that I don't even want to talk about

Kabab lovers once visit this place.....little bit overpriced.......

I had been to this place when I was in Ahmadabad on a business trip. I opted for veg kebabs which were really delicious. The non veg kebabs ordered by my colleague were equally tasty. Good service, cordial staff & a pleasant ambience. Overall really good!!!

All the starters here were really really nice, i particularly liked the mutton chaanp and galaouti kabab, really tender meat and cooked to perfection.
The main course gravy was fairly decent.
There was a lot of delay in service towards the middle when the breads were being served, inspite of the restaurant just being at half capacity.
The Biryani didn't look or taste like biryani at all, not impressive at all, not well cooked, the rice was sticky.
The desserts were really nice the gajar ka halwa, the kheer and especially the paan ice cream was pretty good.
Overall a decent experience, the only thing that would compel me to visit again will be the starters.

The Great Kebab Factory is one place in Ahmedabad that comes closest to serving the most authentic kebabs. I have tried all their food festivals apart from their usual menu and I can gurantee you that you wouldn't find any other restaurant in Ahmedabad that serves food that is so rich in flavours!

Be it their Peshawari or Hyderabadi or Afghani food festivals, the permutation, combination of the traditional spices and saffron seems perfect. The food can get slightly heavy and spicy at times.

You can't miss the first succelent galouti kebab- this kebab supposed to be had with tamarind chutney. Please do ask for Shirmal and Bakharkhani at THE GREAT KEBAB FACTORY.

Hats off to Parvez and Team for maintaining high standards and for serving rich and royal cuisine!
