The Curry Kebab is the only Indian restaurant on Guam (as far as I know), so it says a lot that they’re going on their 10^th year. As far as ambiance and service, there was nothing particularly notable, but as soon as the meals were on the table, I was sold. I make it a point to try Indian cuisine during my off-island excursions and have to say that The Curry Kebab ranks high on the charts. Wanting a mix of meat and vegetables, I chose the Chicken Saag. Not the most picturesque dish, but certainly worth the order ~ for $13.99 I received curried chicken cooked with spinach, fresh herbs and spices, and a nice helping of Saffron Rice. I went for the spicy option this time around and glad I did. Just enough kick. We also had the Tofu Bajji as an appetizer. For $7.99 there was enough for two and then some, but I wasn’t expecting a fried dish. Would I come back? Yes! And I believe they've renovated since. I give The Curry Kebab an [A] rating.     ~ La-Di Da-Di

CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA

FOOD: For our appetizer we ordered the Tofu Bajji. The Tofu Bajji was okay; it was a simple dish that consisted of tofu covered with batter and came with two dipping sauces. For dinner, I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala. The Chicken Tikka Masala is one of my favorite Indian dishes. Although I was disappointed that they only use dark meat, the meal was still enjoyable. It includes yogurt, tomato sauce, butter and a variety of Indian spices.

PRICE: The Tofu Bajji was $7.99 and the Chicken Tikka Masala was $13.99.

PLACE: The place is okay and the service was good, it just took a little while for the food. I do believe it’s the only Indian restaurant on island. If there are others, please let us know.
