A reliable lunch option on Residency Road, Kabab Corner focuses on the grilled meat end of Kashmiri cooking rather than the slow-cooked wazwan dishes. The seekh kababs — minced lamb with Kashmiri spices, grilled over charcoal — are consistently good, and the Shami kababs (pan-fried patties of minced lamb and lentil) are made to a decent standard. The bread is cooked fresh and the accompanying chutneys change with availability.
The restaurant is small and fills quickly at lunch. The service is fast and the turnover is high, which is a reliable indicator that the food is freshly cooked. Prices are lower than the sit-down restaurants on the same street. The setting is functional — a few tables, no particular atmosphere — but for a quick, good lunch between sightseeing, Kabab Corner does what it promises. The lassi is also worth ordering if you're there in summer.
