Location
The Great Kabab Factory Bangkok is situated on the ground floor of the Majestic Grande Hotel in Sukhumvit Soi 2 Bangkok, Thailand. It is easily reachable and a couple of minutes’ walk from Nana and Ploenchit BTS Station.
Ambiance
The ambiance of The Great Kabab Factory Bangkok is interesting and stylish. The restaurant has given an earthy touch with deep orange and rust colors. The roof is beautifully carved with navy blue work. The dining room is sparkling with marbled flooring. We personally like the concept of open kitchen, from where you can watch the meals getting prepared. They also have outdoor sitting which makes a perfect dining experience when weather is pleasant.

TGKF includes preparation in different styles like roasted on the tandoor or on a sighri, shallow-fried in a tawa or a mahi tawa, deep-fried in a kadhai, steamed in pots, even grilled on a stone which induces different aroma and keeps different tendency of meat.

Galouti Kababs
We must say restaurant has kept the authentic taste of Indian Cuisine in all their dishes along with maintaining a brilliant presentation.
Staff
We are quite impressed with the staff of The Great Kabab Factory Bangkok restaurant. They have an English speaking staff. They are good with their recommendations and services. This quality makes TGKF distinguishable among other Indian restaurants in Bangkok.
Diners sit at their tables and settle down while a small army of waiters carry over tray after tray from the open kitchen which shows that staff is very professional and loves to serve their guests. The fact that most of their staff are from India helps in maintaining their authenticity.
Chef
Chef Mahesh is the magic behind the authenticity of this flavorsome restaurant. The chef grew up the ladder in making the restaurant a brand. The chef Mahesh is been associated with TGKF since many years. He joined first in the head branch of the brand later he moved to Bangkok with his culinary expertise. He is very particular about his tastes blended with quality of spices.

For the buffet or tasting menu staff will ask for your preference, vegetarian or non-vegetarian. First they serve appetizer (salad with dressings), than when you will say it’s good to go, they start serving assortment of kababs with an explanation of the ingredients and recommends which chutney goes well with the serving.
These servings are unlimited till you can handle it, the staff will keep on asking to repeat.

Wow the ambience is great and the menu is simple mind blowing!! Awesome presentation. And its really great that the staff can communicate in English. When we were in Malaysia we remember searching for a Indian restaurant and finally ended up in a pizza shop that was our first overseas trip. And actually we loved that Pan Kulfi 🙂

The restaurant surely looks like a home away from home for Indians. The ambience too is quite elegant and the range of food is really mindboggling. I do not see much for vegetarians, but some of the desserts on display are really tempting. The Pan ice cream is one I took a fancy for.

As if cooking & presentation of food is a speciality and not everyone’s job , judgeing & admiring it is equally countable . Passion for food , taste and above all deep taste buds are essential . I really love the way this young couple has crystallized the all aspects @ kabab factory . Their wonderful elaboration has made the kabab factory Bangkok a must visit of every Indian visiting Bangkok. Great work Guys.
