Thanks to the Mughal lineage, kebabs have etched many a fond memory in the Indian psyche. Soft and succulent, this certainly is a dish of the royalty and is incredibly delicious.

Bangalore has its kebab corners where you can have a brush with this kingly fare. From hole-in-the-wall outlets in the seemingly seedy streets to eateries in the city’s bylanes, such as, Hilal’s at Shivajinagar and Fanoos at Johnson Market, there are plenty of options where you can have your share depending on the wallet.

In fact, a stroll down Johnson Market is a treat for the gastronomically inclined as the street is dotted all along with many kebab corners, all flaunting their wares. Frazer Town and its surrounding areas are also well known for their kebab stalls. The Siddique Kebab Centre and the Charminar Kebab Centre, in particular, draw a large crowd on any given day.

Popular chain restaurants like Imperial and Empire too have started dishing out this delectable fare complemented with ghee rice at affordable rates. Such places remain open till the wee hours of dawn, and hence are the most-frequented haunts of late-night revellers.

If roadside fare is not your cup of tea, do not fret as the city spoils you with choices. From Kebab Corner and Sahib Sind Sultan to Sikander and Samarkhand, there are options galore for those looking for upmarket food.

And finally, if you feel like pampering yourself with some fine-dining experience, head to the poolside barbecue at the Taj Residency. Here you can regale your taste buds with a sizzling array of the most authentic kebabs while basking at the poolside. Besides the Taj, you also have Tandoor. Located at MG Road, this place is known for its Mughlai and tandoori food. Highly recommended.
