I've been to Kababish multiple times over the past few years. The space is nicely decorated and I enjoy the brightly colored walls. There are a few different dishes I've tried, and my current favorite and go-to dish is the chicken Karachi, which comes with your choice of meat cooked in a spicy, tomato based curry with bell peppers and ginger. The dish has been delicious every time I've gotten it. I've tried a few of their kabobs before, and I've found them to be quite dry so I tend to avoid ordering those. The previous times I've dined here, the service was fine. However, this time was a completely different experience service-wise. When we entered the restaurant, we were told to pick table. Eventually, a young man (could not figure out if he was a waiter or not) placed a small card on the table and walked away. He didn't introduce himself, take our drink orders, or provide menus. Turns out the small card was a link to their online menu - it would have been nice if he had told us this. He did not come back to check on us at all, in fact the (owner?) eventually came over to take our drink and food orders. Throughout the meal a few other patrons entered. One couple sat down, but no one came to take their order or provide menus/drinks. After about 15 minutes they got up and left. Ouch. The meal itself as I mentioned was good, and the times I have come in the past the service has been better, so I feel like on a good day this restaurant deserves at least 4 stars, but with everything I experienced tonight I am concerned for the future of this business.

Kababish is a wonderful place if you are craving Pakistani food. I got the Nihari which was full of flavor. Think of it as a Pakistani beef stew. Wasn't quite spicy enough, but that was my fault because I order it mild. Next time I would get it medium. Please support this local business and give this restaurant a try!

I do love Kababish! I have been ordering from here for years and I have seen the place grow and improve. Their food has always been fantastic which is what kept me coming back. Fair warning, though, as with all good Indian places: don't say hot unless you mean it and don't say Indian hot unless you have mastered hot!! I did hot once-once- and was sweating as I ate my chicken tikka. It was glorious, but then that's me, apparently. I *did* go back down to medium after that. I'm just not ready for the big leaguesThe decor of the place has really become wonderful and they have outside seating which is nicely lit and would be a nice place to be in 10 of the 12 months in NC. Also every time I have been here the place has been spotless. If you are craving some lovely food and looking for a nice, tucked away spot you should swing by.

Went to the restaurant and ordered food to take home. We ordered entrees with chicken, tandoori platter, Malai (only 1 skew wasIn the box) and a butter chicken. Hummus and onion pakora. The hummus was really really runny. The three chicken entrees were all so dry. The butter chicken sauce was flavourless runny and the chicken was dry somehow. The chicken tandoori platter was dry, the Malai was dry. The onion pakora was good. The butter naan was really good.We spent a lot of money and it was really disappointing.

I am a vegetarian so Indian food is my favorite cuisine. This is one of the first restaurants we came to when we first moved to the Triangle. I usually order the hummus, garlic naan, and the Malai Kafta (veggie balls) and my husband orders the Chicken Tikka Masala. This is our favorite Indian place in the area!

This is one of my most favorite spot in Cary for Indian/Pakistani cuisine...I have been here multiple times and this place never disappoints! This is my go to place for authentic Nihari, we went there specially for Nihari but also ended up trying some different items off the menu.My first time trying Chaat Papdi here and it reminded me of home (India) ...i have say, the chaat was too good...freshly made... crispy and tangy..absolutely loved itTheir Chicken 65 was a hit and an item highly recommended by my 6 year old!We also tried their Chicken Karahi, perfectly spiced and flavorful..The owners are very sweet and friendly... love the decor and ambience.This place truly never disappoints! If you're looking for authentic Indian/Pakistani food, you have to try this place!!!

Food was amazing, my bf ordered "Indian hot" because he doesn't value his life and he loved it. He is vegetarian and they had many options for him. He does not eat meat dairy eggs or seafood.

Big portions, but my dish, chicken biryani, was also like $19. It was really good though. I tried chicken tikki masala and that slapped too. Unless you're into chugging water or have really high spice tolerance (mine is already pretty high) mild spice is spicy enough for a casual meal.

Hummus was unreal and the naan was tremendous as well. Entrees were fantastic - we had chicken tikka masala and haleem. Mango lassi to top things off, and it could not have been better.Posted notices indicated they were short staffed and service may be slow, but it was very quick. Staff were friendly and attentive.Loved the ambiance. Had a local, authentic feel. Enjoyed everything about it. Definitely recommend this spot and will be back.
