Quick info
About Kismat Kebab House
On Manchester Rd in Nelson, Kismat Kebab House is an Indian restaurant and takeaway serving through the evenings, with Wednesdays off. Chapli kebabs are cooked to order, and the kitchen also turns out chicken karahi and ghosht shinwari karahi, with daal offered as a side and large, round naan to go with them. Kahwa is available too. Seating is simple and can fill up quickly, so those wanting to eat in should expect a fuller room at busy times, while the takeaway option suits anyone wanting the food off site. The counter takes walk-ins rather than bookings, and payment is cash only, so diners should plan to bring cash rather than a card. Both dine-in and takeaway service run side by side across the week.

Customer Review Summary
The complaints are specific. One longtime fan says the kebabs have become smaller and thinner than before. Several raise the cash-only policy as an inconvenience, and one diner reports being charged double on a card payment, which was refunded after they objected, and says the meat seemed pre-boiled and recooked. Another reviewer describes staff arguing over a phone order and asking them to leave. Dining in is called simple and crowded, and one reviewer got a free portion of pakoras as a gift.

“Top quality chapli kebabs...very succulent. Will be coming back for more”
- Asad Ali
“I've eaten kebabs from many places, but they know how to make authentic chapli kebabs that taste like those from Mardan and Peshawar.”

“Very poor experience. There was a misunderstanding about my phone order. I politely explained what I had asked for and even confirmed it again, but the staff kept insisting I had ordered something else. Instead of resolving the issue professionally, they argued with me and told me they would not take my order and asked me to leave. Very disappointing customer service. I will not be returning”
