Kebab Mahal

Frommer's Review

The kebab is usually a late-night meal scarffed down by students standing in the streets after they have danced their heads off in the club. While the late weekend hours of this simple diner means they attract that clientele, too, Kebab Mahal is much more. Drawing a cross-section of the city, whether dusty construction workers on a break or tweed-clad professors grading papers, this basic Indian restaurant -- where you may have to share your table with others -- has become a landmark. Although the counter is full of hot food, most of the main courses are prepared separately in a kitchen to the rear. True to its Islamic owner's faith, Kebab Mahal doesn't have a license to serve alcohol, doesn't allow diners to bring their own, either, and also closes every Friday from 1 to 2pm for prayers.
