Kabila-Union City

This review is for the lunch buffet. We've been in search of a new Indian buffet ever since we had a poor experience at Favorite Indian and Kabila is right down the street from us. We were pleasantly surprised at this little hole in the wall.Rating Breakdown: 1.5/2 Stars for Taste -- The buffet comes with the classics -- butter chicken, goat curry, vegetable curries (chana masala, malai kofta, paneer masala, etc.), saag, tandoori chicken, and pakoras. The flavor profile tends toward more mild and sweet, less spicy. My husband wasn't a huge fan of their butter chicken but we both agreed that for the price, we weren't complaining. I was impressed with the fish pakora, it was lightly battered and kept coming out in piping hot batches. My husband thought the fish was a bit salty, but I didn't mind it. The tandoori chicken was surprisingly juicy and I appreciated that they cut it into smaller pieces so it's less of a stomach space commitment. There's plain naan but for $1 more, you can upgrade to garlic naan. It's hard to resist these fluffy white pillows when they're brought fresh to your table, don't burn your fingers! The chai was on the blander side but typical for a buffet. I loved the gulab jamun, but I would pass on the kheer next time because it was a bit more on the mushy side.My company caters from here from time to time and I'm a big fan of their long grain rice. The Asian in me loves the chew of the individual kernels. I prefer their chicken tikka masala to their butter chicken. Their samosas are also on point.1/1 Stars for Value --It was $17.99 for the lunch buffet without any add ons. That price is pretty hard to beat these days. There were plenty of people there for the buffet but also many people were ordering a la carte. Since their entrees are usually about $18 and an additional $4.5 for rice/naan, we figured it was worth it to just get the buffet for the sake of variety. 1/1 Stars for Customer Service --I set my expectations low because of the lukewarm reviews, but this place exceeded them. We arrived around 1pm on a Friday and they kept refilling the buffet even when we were ready to leave. Because it's such a small space, it was easy to flag down a server at any time to request refills. Bonus star because it's close, convenient, and cost-effective. I already have plans to bring my sister next time.

We recently ordered catering for a home event. The food was absolutely delicious, and our guests couldn't stop asking where it was from. Every dish was perfectly prepared and full of flavor, making our event even more memorable.The entire process, from placing the order to the timely delivery, was a breeze. Special thanks to Sandeep, who managed everything from start to finish with such professionalism and care. He followed up to ensure everything was perfect and went above and beyond to make sure we had a smooth experience.If you're looking for amazing food and seamless execution for your event, this is the place to go. Thank you again to the team for making our event a success! We'll definitely be ordering from here again.

I came back again because I was recommended this place yet again by another Indian friend. Food-wise they have definitely redeemed themselves, but the wait to get our food was still incredibly long. I'd say about half an hour. At least this time all the food came out fresh and piping hot! My mom and I tried a bunch of items and I have to say the flavors were all so good. The meat in the goat curry and chicken tikka masala were super tender. Everything was really flavorful. I really have no complaints when it comes to the food aside from everything being slightly on the oily side. But that's what makes it good!I think they just have a lot of organizational issues. Workers honestly seemed confused and untrained. We received our bill to sign but were not given a pen. Then when we took a closer look at the bill, there wasn't even any spots to write for tip. We were not checked on throughout. Overall, terrible service but great food. The place itself looks much better than when I visited back then. Brightly lit, spacious, and clean!

Amazing samosas. We also got the chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, and the garlic naan. Samosas are always a winner in my mind comes with a red and green sauce, a must when you have them. The tikka masala was very yummy and the piping hot fresh garlic naan was fluffy. Goes great with both the tikka and butter chicken. Both chicken dishes cooked tender and not dried out at all. A very fulfilling meal. Need to come back and try their lunch buffet.

Consistently great Indian food, I have been eating here for decades, always happy with the food and the sweets !

Found my new fav Indian place. Came here for a friend's meet up. Not only do they do dining but they also have desserts to go! Their mango lassi was very good as well as their chai! It was rich in flavor.We ordered two paneer dish and naan to go with it. Will be a my go to spot for Indian food now.

Came here really hungry after a massage and got my food to-go.This is not my first time here... and I feel like something has changed with the flavors.My lamb biryani and goat karahi tasted different than I remember it. Both were less spicy, which is actually good for me as I have weak tolerance for spicy food. But the flavor was also not there... it leaves much to be desired.I am unsure if it could have been better if I ate it at the restaurant... but my next destination was close by so I was able to eat it warm without microwaving it.

I finally stopped in to try out something on the expansive menu. Everything was delicious: mango lassi, chicken saagwala rich and creamy!), tandoori chapati (new to me, I love it as what I hope is a healthier alternative to regular nan), and garlic nan (the right texture and flavor!). I ordered to go. Next time I hope to sit down and relax. Maybe try the lunch buffet.

I did Kabila catering for a lohri function,every thing was smooth from placing order to the service .Highly recommend

They don't refill as needed Poor poor quality and briyani has a stale smellAnd it's over crowded.
