The Melt Test: How Kebabi Engineers Kebabs That Melt In Mouth

Excerpt: There are two kinds of kebabs: the ones you chew, and the ones that politely surrender. At Kebabi we obsess over the second kind—the melt. Here’s the story, the science, and a little ordering cheat sheet so you get exactly what you crave tonight.

The moment of truth (aka the 3-second melt)

Every fresh batch leaving our grill faces a ritual: a warm piece is placed on a plate and we wait—one… two… three… If the kebab doesn’t soften at the edges and give way to a spoon, it doesn’t pass. No sauce to hide behind, no garnish distractions. Just texture, aroma, and the quiet confidence of a perfect sear.

Why some kebabs melt (and some don’t)

We like a little science with our smoke.

Grind & bind: Ultra-fine mince for Mutton Galauti means more surface area and even heat—think silk, not sand. We season in layers so spice doesn’t bully the meat.
Fat = flavor = cushion: A touch of fat keeps things plush. Too little and kebabs dry out; too much and you lose structure. Balance wins.
Resting matters: Kebabs nap before they meet the flame and again after. Resting lets juices redistribute and keeps the bite tender, not crumbly.
Heat geometry: We place skewers where flame kisses, not slaps—close enough to char, far enough to cook through. That’s how you get smoky edges and a soft core.

Kolkata on a plate

Kolkata has a way of rewriting classics—like it did with rolls. We’re carrying that energy to today’s favorites. Street lamps, rain on tram lines, a late-night chai in hand… our grills hum to that rhythm. The result is kebabs that feel like home yet taste like a small rebellion.

Meet the melt-crew (and what to order if…)

If you want cloud-soft and aromatic: Mutton Galauti. Our signature. Spread it on a roomali like butter; add a dot of tangy chutney; don’t overthink it.
If you want smoky sea-sweetness: Fish Kebabs. Clean spice, clean sear, zero fishy aftertaste. Kolkata approves.
If you want char + snap: Tandoori Prawns. Quick kiss of heat, glaze that clings, juicy center.
If you want dinner to be a scene: Chelo Kebab. Buttery rice, sunny-side egg, and a kebab that plays rich against simple. It’s culinary theatre.
If you want comfort in a bowl: Kebab Rice. Fragrant grains under a rain of kebab bits, onions, and a drizzle of ghee. Spoon, couch, bliss.
If you want handheld chaos (the good kind): Kebab Burgers. Our smoky patty with mint mayo and crisp onions—street-smart and ridiculously satisfying.

Sauce, but smarter

Sauce shouldn’t drown a kebab; it should side-eye it.

Mint mayo cools a spicy seekh.
Garlic yogurt lifts galauti without stealing the show.
Lemon + chaat masala on prawns is a mic-drop.

Reheating without heartbreak (for late-night fridge raids)

Warm a tawa on low.
Add a few drops of ghee or oil.
Kebabs in, lid on, 90 seconds each side.
Finish with a squeeze of lime and a whisper of chaat masala.
Microwaves are fine in emergencies—just cover and keep it short.

Behind our flavor: a tiny manifesto

Fresh over flashy. No neon colors, no shortcuts.
Fire is an ingredient. We chase specific char, not random burn.
Less menu, more mastery. A focussed set we can obsess over daily.
