The wait staff was amazing. They helped answer all our questions and helped us differentiate between all the chai tea choices. I loved how authentic this restaurant felt. As I'm not from their culture I cannot say with certainty it is authentic but the food was certainly delicious. If you're looking for modern and shiny, this place isn't for you. They are going through renovations but it's obviously not an establish trying to impress by interior designs, but through your stomach. Everything was well seasoned. The garlic naan was perfect thinness. The samosa chaat was delicious. The chicken Biryani was one of the best I've had. This place exceeded my expectations. read more

Kabab House - Bumm chai - Pakistani Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

See all

Stopped by Kabab House on a week night for dinner. There have alot of seating so getting a spot was not an issue. We ordered their chicken seekh kebab and goat biryani along with dum chai. The seekh kebab was flavorful but ive certainly had better. The goat biryani was delicious and the goat pieces would melt in your mouth and it was perfectly marinated meat. I ordered their dum chai but I guess I got the regular chai which tasted a little watered down but was still decent not bad. Now I will give them 10/10 for their service. So we had asked for spicy goat biryani but apparently they messed it up and made regular so the person stopped by informed us and said they are remaking the spicy goat biryani and would like to compensate for this slow service by offering dessert on the house. While it was not needed, it was certainly appreciated. They got us rasmalai which was good. I have been here before and felt the food during my prior visits was a tad bit better as compared to today. All in all good food, pocket friendly and great service. The ambience is basic and they have ample parking atleast at night. Would recommend if in the area. read more

Food - 4 stars Ambience - 2 stars Service - 3 stars We ordered combo kabab plate, chicken nihari, goat biriyani, malai kabab, ajwain naan, vegetable samosa, salty lassi, mango lassi and dumm chai. The best amongst these were the chicken nihari and some of the kababs. Food is the only redeeming thing about this place. Other than than the whole place is falling apart. The seats were taped together. The service although prompt but could be better. The portions size is small for the price. This definitely is no $$$ place. Prices are not justified. My recommendation would be to get takeout instead of dine in. read more

There is not much of an ambience, it's located in a strip mall, there is plenty of seating inside, the service is fast, which is good! I was expecting the food to be 5 star! I ordered goat biryani, there were huge number of bones. I order goat biryani from naan and curry pretty frequently, theirs has much better quality with less bones. I feel I paid for bones and rice, instead of biryani read more

I had their Ramadan special and the combo provided reminded me of the food my mom would make. It was a threw course meal

Had the butter chicken and saag paneer. Good but nothing to rave about. It's on par with other Indian/Pakistani food in Kirkland. Slightly less expensive than KGF a couple intersections away and open pretty late as well for the area which is nice. read more

One of the worse food , for lots of money. We ordered "Meat Platter" , mostly all the meat was with bad taste & old meat , just heated up & served. Will never go to this bad food Pakistani restaurant again. Think twice , read more

Honestly food was pretty good but service is terrible. I've come here a few times now and didn't mind the service until recently. I went on a Sunday morning for their Halwa special. We came here with a group of friends and everyone ordered the Halwa puri social and a few friends got other dishes like keema and nihari, and naan. This is where the service was absolutely terrible. One friend ordered nihari and naan as a to-go order, and another ordered nihari and naan for dine in. The servers brought one nihari out but 2 orders of naan. They accidentally put the to-go naan order on the dining table. So as we were eating the nihari we didn't notice there were 2 orders of naan because it was all in one basket and we didn't give it a second thought because the second naan order should've been packed with the to-go nihari order. So once my friend is done eating and asks for her to-go order, they don't give her the naan. So she asked why there's no naan and they go back and figure it out, and come back and say they put it on the table with the other naan and that you should take the 2 pieces that are left and pack it, and gave my friend foil. That was so rude and such terrible service. A order of naan is 4 pieces and even though they messed up the order they didn't make her more naan and made her take the 2 pieces that were left on the table, didn't even apologize for the mess up. Such terrible customer service. If that didn't happen I would've given this place 4 stars but to consistently have terrible service and not make up for it really ruins the dining experience. read more

Kabab House - Karachi Chicken Karhai - Pakistani Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

Kebab House is one of my preferred "I don't want to cook" places, but they've had some minor problems recently, in particular with their portions The portion sizes seem to be decreasing, with my latest order of butter chicken with extra meat being particularly disappointing. Especially when you pay for extra meat, you would expect to get it. Compared to my other non-extra orders, I could tell no difference in quantity Overall, the food is tasty and I likely will still come on occasion, but it's become a little harder to justify as a frequent stop read more

Delish food and great service! They are in the middle of a remodel so not much to talk about for decor. It's a casual place. Will return for kebabs and biryani for sure! read more

Super legit place for some of the best Pakistani and Indian food I've had in the area. The butter chicken is incredible. The hosts was very friendly and had great recommendations that we tried, especially the chicken kabob. The garlic naan was soft and flavorful. The samosas were big and delicious. It was very busy because it's Ramadan but it was also a good sign that it's so popular to be the place to break the fast. I'll definitely be back. read more

Best dish here is the Nashta plate which includes halwa, chole, and puri. Best breakfast! Service was questionable - they couldn't split a check when we came together as a group. Also a few flies around which wasn't very enjoyable to sit around for a long period of time. The chai place next to it (especially Kashmiri Chai) is amazing but a bit overpriced. Will definitely come back mainly for the halwa puri and Kashmiri Chai. read more

I am writing to share the overwhelmingly positive feedback from my recent visit to your restaurant. Simply put, we absolutely love this place. We have been searching for authentic, high-quality Pakistani cuisine in Seattle for a very long time, and I can honestly tell you that we haven't had food this consistently delicious and satisfying in the last 23 years. The flavors, spices, and preparations were truly magnificent and reminded us exactly of dining back home. Beyond the incredible quality of the food, the entire atmosphere was exceptional. It genuinely feels like you are in a Pakistani restaurant, which adds greatly to the overall experience. Furthermore, we noted that the establishment is very clean, and your staff is refreshingly friendly and attentive. You have created a truly unique and necessary dining experience in this city, and we plan to become regular patrons. A Note for Improvement (Constructive Feedback): While our experience was five-star in virtually every regard--from the service to the entrees--we did want to offer one small piece of constructive feedback regarding the chai tea. We believe that improving the recipe or preparation of the chai tea is an area that could be elevated. Given the stunning quality and authenticity of everything else on your menu, perfecting the chai would truly make the dining experience flawless. Thank you again for bringing such authentic and memorable flavors to Seattle. We look forward to our next visit very soon! read more

This place is absolute garbage and an insult to Pakistani food. Shame shame shame. I ordered white karahi chicken with extra sauce. The service had so much oil that one swim laps in it. No flavor and just 4 pieces of mal nourished chicken that too bone in . May be there was $1 worth of meat in there and $26 dollars of oil. Promptly trashed it . What a shame read more

I recently ordered (To-go) a few dishes, including chicken biryani and Palak Gosht, but was left underwhelmed. While the flavors were decent, the portions were meager considering the prices. To put it into perspective, Naan N Curry offers more generous servings and tastier food at the same price point. The Palak Gosht, in particular, was lacking with only 3 pieces of meat, and the biryani rice was scarce as well. read more

Generally the food is good here, to be specific, the goat Briyani & the Chicken Nihari , Karahi were excellent!!!

A cozy home feel restaurant that fills your tummy with home style nourishing food. I came here for my birthday after seeing their promotions on instagram. I ordered the breakfast thali of aloo chana halwa puri and it was such a treat.. a real treat! We also ordered a side of keema and pays as we were always taught the broth had many health benefits. I am really looking forward to coming again. Their customer service was really lovely! read more

My partner and I got a take out order from Kabab House recently. I ordered the Lamb Boti Kabab with an add on of the Saffron Rice, and he ordered the Mutton Handi. The food was very delicious. The meat was a tiny bit dry, but the spices most definitely made up for that. The spice blend was wonderful and unique (to me). I felt like I was taking a culinary adventure while eating my dinner from here. I had never tried Pakistani food before. I really liked the food. The service was good, the guy who helped us with our take out order was really nice. We would definitely order from here again. read more

What an odd experience I had here. I ordered take out 20 min before I arrived, but it wasn't ready for another 25 once I got there. Then they told me that the tikka I ordered needed to marinade for another 45 minutes, asking if I would please choose an alternative dish. I did so. Then I saw the chef walk out of the kitchen, and to the Indian grocery across the parking lot to buy the naan I had ordered. The whole reason we had come was because I had a craving for samosa which was absolutely the worst part of the meal :( They were extremely bland and the pastry thick enough that it was hard to bite through. We did get butter paneer, butter chicken (rice with both), naan, and 2 samosa for $45 so at least it wasn't expensive after all that. The naan was good but I can't really owe that to the restaurant. The butter dishes were good as well thankfully. read more

Expensive, small portions, slow service, no ambiance. There wasn't really anything redeeming about this restaurant. My wife and I both left disappointed and went somewhere else afterwards for a snack and dessert to end the day on a better note. We both got kabobs. It's a kabob place after all and we'd never eaten there before. Pictures of the fish and chicken options online looked good (not the menu though, only a few select menu pictures). One fish, one chicken. The prices were expensive for basic meat and salad (18, 22) so we thought there might be a good amount but ordered a Naan and and veg samosa anyway. Samosa, OK. Naan, OK. But when the food came I was surprised how small the chicken dish was. First of all, it was 8 tiny nuggets. Flavor wasn't bad but it was dry. The salad was a pile of raw onions with some tiny old tomato cubes. The fish size wasn't bad, not a great quality fish though and the same onions side. At least they could have put the kabob on the pile of onions for a little plating. Even when we were finishing no one said anything about the check. We waited and waited until we finally paid up front. Would have been nice for someone to mention that. read more

An authentic desi food place with a consistent melt in your mouth meat dishes ! The ambiance is interesting with lots of colorful umbrellas and description of the places in India and Pakistan. Would come in here any day for a good kebab and biryani. What is not so consistent is the service! We were here twice and we had a hit and a miss with the service. We waited forever for the water to arrive during one of the visits. I would suggest trying the a-la-carte and relishing the appetizers and the rice dishes of your choice! The buffet is pretty limited with 4-5 items. None of the items are spicy !!! But that did not effect the flavor! The naan or the flat bread is super soft and on-point!! Will definitely be coming back and hoping the service will be on the better end. read more

Kabab House - Sunday morning brunch. Loved the chole, aaloo, halwa sooo much. - Pakistani Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

I haven't tried Pakistani food before coming here and I find that it's quite delicious. I've been here once and it seems like they made the naan even better! They are always improving their recipes and I would recommend the Nihari with Naan. We got some roti, naan, chicken handi, chicken biryani, chicken kebabs, and some desserts I forgot the names of. Everything was delicious! Look at the face of the pikachu! Does that look like the face of someone who did not have a good meal?! I don't think so. One look at that adorable chubby face should tell you that this is the place to be for some great Pakistani food! Parking is plentiful and the interior was great too. It's got a nice ambiance and has some cool ambiant background music playing too. The service was on point and we felt quite attended to with our party of 10(including pikachu). read more

I tried this location four times already and the food was amazing. Also the owners and the service were great too. The Goat Biryani's did was one of the best I had in this area. The goat meat was tender and rice flavor was more towards Pakistani Biryanis than Indian which is so delicious. The quality quantity and prices were good too. I will definitely be back again . This is a great add on to the area. read more

Kabab House - Sone goat stew dish. I forgot the name but I will never forget the flavor - Pakistani Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

Kabob House moved from Bridle Trails to Totem Square Shopping Mall in Totem Lake. Despite the low review count (6 including mine), they are in fact an established Pakistani restaurant in the area. Nonetheless, it's our first time trying their food. The family that owns the restaurant is very nice and amicable. The staff and service are very good. I thought the prices are reasonable, too. The Food: Nihari - Lamb Shank, $21.99 - 4.5 Stars Menu: This aromatic curry with meat tender melts in your mouth. We came partly because of the lamb shank on the menu. Hubby loves lamb shank. The meat is so tender they don't give you a knife. It easily comes off the bone. In fact, hubby fished many lamb pieces out of the curry sauce before working on the meats still attached to the bone. Before serving, I think they should skim-off some of the oil on top. Fish Tikka, $22.99 - 4.5 Stars Menu: Charcoal grilled fish tikka, served with green tikka sauce. Very well-seasoned and flavorful. Tastes good with tikka sauce. Chicken Tikka Boti (Bone-in), $15.99 - 4 Stars Menu: Bone-in chicken pieces marinated in ginger, garlic, yogurt, and Indian spices. This is the same preparation as the Fish Tikka. The bone-in is kind of random, with big and tiny pieces. Garlic Naan, $3.99 - 1.5 Stars Their garlic naan looks pretty, but it tastes just ok. It's not fluffy and kind of flat and doughy. I should have paid attention that being a Pakistani restaurant, they don't have tandoori items. That also means their naan might not be made from a tandoori oven. Subsequently, their naan don't have the typical char and the puff. I don't recommend this. Fries I ordered the Masala Fries, but I was told it's lunch time only. I pointed out it's on the appetizer menu, not on the lunch menu. He apologized and said he'll give me normal free fries. It came with some seasonings, but I doubt it's Masala Fries which is supposed to have garlic, onion, and tomato masala spices. It tastes good, though. Gajar Ka Halwa Menu: House special Carrot-based sweet dessert pudding As part of the Yelp check-in, this is a free dessert that we took home. It's unusual, made with carrots, cheeses, and maybe honey. read more

Thus far, this is the best place to have kabobs, in my opinion. Price of food is very competitive as well

Originally came here with a large group for the $19.99 Lahori Nashta Buffet but it did not have as many choices as anticipated: Tawa Keema, Lahori Channay, Aloo Tarkari, Sooji Halwa, Puri, Achar, Yogurt, and Chai. So instead we ordered several dishes to split: Goat Biryani, Murgh Cholay, Beef Nihari, Chicken Malai Boti, Beef Seekh Kabab, Dal Gosht, Bhindi Masala, Garlic Naan, Chicken Handi, and Goat Paya. Overall the food was decent and well-flavored. Portions weren't large but adequate for its price of around $15-$20 per dish. Although it was odd we got charged higher seemingly random numbers like $16.63 or $18.71 when the menu listed the usual of $15.99 or $17.99 respectively. read more

The greeting was warm, friendly, and sincere, as was the service throughout our time here. We are not well versed in this type of cuisine and asked for help and suggestions, which were provided and welcomed. We started with the beef kabobs and they were amazing. I should have taken food photos, but when the hot and fresh butter Naan arrived, it was game on. We had a Mutton dish and a Goat dish as well with basmati rice and everything was really good. The parking was easy. Don't let the strip mall look fool you, there is quality food here and a helpful and warm staff eager to help those of us not familiar with fare from this part of the world.

Recently moved from previous Kirkland location. Too bad the reviews didn't transfer. Everything is clean and new. The owner greeted us and took our order. They are short staffed right now so it was a little awkward ordering and they did forget one dish. The food was excellent with large portions. We took a lot home. The chicken tiki Marsala was served with two large pieces of chicken in the sauce instead of many chopped bits like some places. I think I prefer the larger pieces. They were definitely fresher. All of the food is made fresh from scratch. It's a large place with two banquet rooms large enough for 15 people. There are also several large circular tables that could sit 8 comfortably. One downside is they don't have a liquor license yet so no beer or wine or alcohol. We really liked the food and look for ward to trying other items. read more

Well, this is our second order from here in the last month. My wife ordered a first dinner for $120 for the family it was OK, the second time we ordered two chicken beryani and a butter chicken when we brought it home the beryani had few small chicken pieces the rest is all rice with fried onion on top. We call it and complained where is the chicken they told us to come there. My wife went there and asked for the manager, they said they don't have a manager. She explained to them about the order is mostly rice the worker said we have the orders in a ziplock bag and when the customer orders we put it in a box so the chef must have put a little chicken. Say what? Ziplock bag Hot food in a ziplock bag what the heck, is that even healthy? are they trying to speed up food preparation what else happens to the food before you serve it to us. I am not paying $20 for a plate in a ziplock bag. They said they refunded two entries for us but this is the second day I don't see the refund in my card may be it takes longer to refund. I don't care about the refund I am more concerned about the ziplock bag. I did not lie about them but I feel my duty to let everyone now what we experienced so that every customer is aware. read more
