Kababs ‘N’ More

Currently located at the crossroads of Browntown Road & Rte. 229 (in fact, right ON Rte. 229 at the moment), «Kababs ‘N’ More» is a bit of an enigma.
I first encountered them — although didn’t try anything at the time — at our local Culpeper Farmers Market this past Spring, where they had a booth set up & were selling/​serving a small variety of Indian dishes to go. Just grabbed a business card & silently hoped beyond hope that they might be opening up an Indian restaurant in the area — something that we’ve been sorely lacking. After visiting their website, was sorry to discover that apparently they were only doing catering at that time, as well as delivering lunches to local businesses. Oh well.
However, a couple of months ago, while cruising down Rte. 229 on my way to town one afternoon, I spotted a number of small roadside signs touting «INDIAN CUISINE», all leading up to a roadside food truck with the «Kababs ‘N’ More» sign on the side. Didn’t seem to be any sort of permanent hours listed, but in future passings I did sometimes notice the truck open & some folks obviously buying.
Indian food being a particular weakness of mine, & hungry for lunch yesterday around 2:30 after running errands all morning, the truck was open when I passed by, so I did a U-​turn & decided to give it a try. A very nice young gentleman with a slight Indian accent was manning the helm, & informed me of the day’s offerings, of which there were several — pork & I also believe Vegetable Samosas, Chicken Korma, & Curried Lentils (among other items I believe — not sure on that) were available. For $ 6.50 you received a choice of two (entrée & side). I went with Chicken Korma & the curried lentils (which were served over rice). I did mention that I really enjoyed spicy Indian food (Vindaloos are a real favorite of mine), & the gentleman immediately offered a spicy jarred Indian chili-​pepper condiment if I so wished to add it to the Korma (which isn’t normally a very spicy dish). But I assured him that I had some of that at home to add if I wished. It was definitely nice of him to offer though. Portions may have been small by restaurant standards, but for a takeout lunch, I found them perfect.
The Chicken Korma consisted of cubed white-​meat chicken that was tender, even though its ultimate moistness may have suffered a little during its waiting time. But that’s a problem that white-​meat chicken suffers from every time it has to wait. In this case, it really wasn’t a problem, since the pieces were small & bite-​size. And I was utterly grateful that — unlike many Korma recipes — this version wasn’t redolent of coconut milk, which is an ingredient in so many Korma recipes which, for me makes the dish unpleasant (not a big coconut milk fan in savory dishes). But of course that’s just personal preference.
The curried lentils were mild but flavorful, with little bits of carrot here & there. Served on a bed of rice that was PERFECTLY COOKED, which I find to be some sort of milestone for not only a food truck, but for restaurants nearly everywhere. I’m a big rice-​lover, & crummy rice always makes me sad when I dine out. To have a food truck do rice so perfectly was lovely.
I mentioned to the courteous gentleman manning the truck that I’d LOVE to have an Indian restaurant in the area, & he hinted that it might be in the works. Also had me sign up for e-​mails they plan to start sending out periodically. Interior of truck & area around it was super-​clean & well-​maintained.
Bottom line: I do now plan on stopping by & trying more of the lunch offerings from these folks, & wish them well on any expansion plans they may have.
