Not to be cliche but this is authentic Pakistani food. Located next to a foreign grocery store, Kabab Hut is a moderately sized Paki restaurant off a busy intersection on Indian Trail road. All types of curries, naans, Biryanis, kababs and imported sodas are sold here. As a first time here, try any of the naans (my favorite being garlic naan for flavor or bullet naan for the bold) with a curry (Karahi/tikka masala, etc) or a simple chicken/goat biryani (it's well made here with saffron included). The restaurant is itself is pretty bland (kind of nitpicking) but the only real complaint I have here is the service. Sometimes I'm waiting 30 minutes and rarely an hour to get my food when sometimes there is nobody in the restaurant. This is the only thing that keeps me from eating in and I would rather take out or pickup. All in all, great food. read more

Very bad service they have one cashier. He is doing everything running the whole restaurant. U place an order go there u still have to wait 30 minutes before u get ur order I have stoped going there I don't want to spend my money and waste my time. read more

This place is simply amazing! The chicken and kabab platters are so good! Pair it with the Channa and the tandoori naan with butter on it, man I'm getting hungry thinking about it again haha Mango lassi is a hidden gem here :) Quality is always consistent, affordable prices, and great guys running the business. Give this place a visit next time you're looking for delicious BBQ / desi food read more

Not like earlier . Quality and quantity of food has reduced a lot . Poor customer response .

I'd like to clarify that this is not a mediterranean restaurant. It's Pakistani. I asked a Pakistani friend where I could find some good authentic Pakistani food- particularly kababs and he suggested this place. They have the BEST samosas I've ever tasted outside of my mom's kitchen (again, Pakistani, not Indian but similar sounding dishes). They are so much better than in any Indian restaurant I've tried in the city- or outside the city. I only tried the kababs but definitely recommend them over anything else as the taste is amazing. I suggest getting the combo plate to start with so you try a little bit of everything. I can't pinpoint a favorite. The tandoori chicken is tender and juicy, the seekh or sheek kababs are incredibly flavorful, both lamb and beef. If you haven't tried it, definitely get the Chicken Malai Kabab- it melts in your mouth! They all pair perfectly with their housemade breads... I would suggest calling your order in before you go if you're picking up. We waited a considerable amount of time for a to go order. But it was worth the wait. read more

The service is always slow and the food quality and quantity has gone down hence the change in management. We only come for the fresh Naan and bbq platter! Everything else is just okay. read more

OH mg. This is the best food I've had in ATL period. I really like Afghan food, not sure about Indian food, but this was Pakistani food, which I really like. Everything was delicious. I want to eat here every day. Garlic naan was perfect. The meat was super lean and perfectly seasoned. These guys are not messing around. Seriously. I might eat here tonight... read more

Jury's out on this one. This Pakistani restaurant represents the cuisine well, all the food was done great, but It also delivers the usual lackluster service and dreary atmosphere of the worst of these hole in the wall joints Following the Yelp reviews and my Elvis impersonating GPS, we arrived at the somewhat scary strip center and walked in to Kabab Hut. We ordered at the counter from a surly and distracted gentleman. Between his attitude and preoccupation with his phone, I would give it a .5 on 10 point friendliness scale. Underwhelmed with the service and atmosphere, we waited for our order while a Spanish soccer game blared in the background. Once the food came out, my mood shifted. Naan bread was really, really good. Daal, palak, butter chicken all delish. So if you're looking for a romantic restaurant with excellent service and one that you can feel was a culinary and epicurean experience, this isn't it. If you're looking for good food, priced fairly, and want to watch a Spanish soccer game while eating off of paper plates, this is your jam. read more

I was in the area running an errand on my lunch break and stopped in strictly based on Yelp reviews. It doesn't look very appealing from the outside as many of the businesses in the same strip mall appeared to be closed. But don't let that fool you. This place was very good! The service wasn't extremely fast (especially seeing as we were the only ones there) but it was fast enough for a long work lunch. We had the kabab platter and one of the chicken dishes and both had really great flavor. If you enjoy trying new things I would check this place out. read more

I really want to like this place. The goat biriyani is generous on the succulent pieces of goat. The naans are soft as baby's bottoms. The curries are spiced well, with ample chunks of meat in them. My problem is that the kababs themselves are rather ordinary. They're not bad. Just ordinary. And the ambience is terrible - often dirty, rarely cleaned up after guests leave. It's an unappetizing dining experience. I've been here three times now with the same experience. Unfortunate :( read more

Been here soo many times since over 2 years. But they clearly don't care about customers or customer service. Their main focus is money first. This was my last time going here. Never again after my interaction with them today. I placed an order at 10:30 pm. I got there at 11:05 and they were closed. I called today to see if I can get my order or refund today but they were not having it. So frustrating and so silly, like I already paid. Why would you loose a regular customer over remaking an order??? It's coo. Calling my credit card company and getting my money back because I did not receive any goods or services. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. read more

I am obsessed...this food is amazing! Don't bother going if you are looking for ambience - Kabab Hut decor is about as bare bones as it gets. If, however, its the food you are after and you are looking for an authentic Pakistani meal, then Kabab Hut delivers. So I can't speak to the entire menu, primarily because the food I have had there has been so delicious that I've had a bit of a struggle to branch out. I crave their chicken samosas - the best I've ever had by miles...and they're perfect warmed up in a toaster oven so pick up an order for later. And the Chicken 65 - just the right amount spice and a nice size serving. But my favorite is the kher. Truthfully, kher has got to be pretty horrible for me not to like it (to a greater or lesser extent) but this kher I love. I'd pay triple to have a serving right now. So Kabab Hut may not be a first date kind of a place, but its definitely a 3rd and 4th and 5th......sort of place. read more

The food is really good. Some high quality, spicy kababs. I had the Kabab Roll. Their bread is really good. I did feel a little out of place. Service is a slow/disorganized. But worth it for a good kabab if you're in the area. read more

My husband had heard that Kabab Hut was absolutely delicious so we decided to try this place tonight. We had never ate Pakistanian food before. Our orders were suggestions from a friend. I ordered the Chicken Tikka and my husband ordered the Chicken Seek Kabab, Lahori Chana and Naan. My Chicken Tikka was very flavorful. The Chicken Seek Kabab was very good. It reminds me of a spicy sausage with lots of flavor. The Naan dipped in the Lahori Chana was extremely good. Since we carried out, we didn't get to look at the food until we got home. When we looked at only the Chicken by itself, it wasn't very much food (mind you, they were $3.99 each). But once we decided to dip the Naan in the Lahori to go with our chicken, we realized that this was quite a lot of food! I will definitely order from here again. Delicious! read more

Food was great, ordered the following: Karahi Goat - Very good Lamb Chops - Very good Goat Biryani - Very good Malai Chicken - Pretty good Naan Kulcha - Very good Kheer - Very good Service was great too, the hispanic lady working was very nice and did a great job taking care of all the guests and keeping the dining area clean. read more

Filthy smell that made the food even less appetizing, the food was stale too. Would not go there again

The food here is amazing. Our favorites are the chicken 65, malai boti, and chicken tikka. We go out of our way to eat here at least once a month. The staff is super friendly abd always willing to help pick a dish or explain anything on the menu. The restaurant is clean, the tables and seating area is simple but nice. Ps. The naan is to die for. read more

The service is amazing. All the food is fresh I love all the food but my favorite is the barbecue platter. It is delicious.and so is the kheer it is very sweet and i thoroughly enjoyed it once again thanks for the great experience! read more

The food tastes pretty good, but the service is immensely disappointing. Everyone else in the restaurant was getting much better service with eye contact and good manners, but my family was ignored, they begrudgingly wiped down our sticky table, they were late with certain dishes and didn't make any eye contact or inform us that things were still coming out. We basically thought they forgot our last dish, so I just shared my plate. I went up to the counter to check on the last dish and just tell them to cancel it (wanted to be sure they weren't cooking it or something) because we had already eaten. Then the guy finally speaks and says oh its ready. 5 more min later they brought it out...? Would have been appropriate for them to take it off our charge since it was late and unwanted at that point, but they didn't. I suggest going to Purnima or Himalayan Spice. Much better treatment and experience. Edit: Updating my review to include my experience with catering. My family decided to try Kabob Hut for catering because we do enjoy the food, and it was all very reasonably priced and very yummy. I am leaving the original portion of my 2/5 star review because it did happen, and hopefully there is an improvement in service. read more

Good food and they have masala soda!!!!! Food is mad fresh, takes time but worth the wait. We had aaloo parathan (yummy!!!), kabab platter( chicken), Lahori chicken , Karachi chicken which were nice not too delicious. Also had chilli garlic naan and falooda. Their portions are good and the food we ordered was way too much for three people. read more

See all

good kebabs ...the malai chicken and goat sheek kebab are very well made. Nehari and Biryani dint do it for me ....but a nice little hole in the wall for grilled south asian fare ...and off-course the Naan read more

One of the finest preparations of chicken I've ever had in a long long time. The Malai boti kabob is just pinnacle of taste of chicken. Quail is also very good. And everything else including khulcha's and other items are either as good as any other place or better. read more

So it's a self-serve restaurant that's so loud you can't hear yourself talk or talk to everyone who came there with you. But, who really cares, every dish we ordered here tasted different and delicious, not marinated with the same ingredients for each dish. If you don't mind Styrofoam plates and cutlery with a ton of background noise of people talking and kids screaming, go here for the awesome food :-) :-) :-) Glad to note that although the place is simple and plain, it's one of the cleanest Pakistani restaurants I've seen in ATL. read more

Great place to eat. Self serve and you might need to sanitize/clean the table. Food is really well made and is always fresh. The food portions are a bit less compare to other markets (NY/NJ) at these prices. Kulcha's are the best I've ever had. The crew is courteous but you have to engage them. They are not full customer service oriented which is the norm at desi spots. UPDATE: I cut two stars from it because of customer service and lack of cleanliness. I have been in town and went to this place three times in the past 2 weeks and found this place to be getting worse on being clean. Also, the little customer service they had is even worse. The owners (old man and his son) pay no attention to their customers. The old man is keen to watch his TV where as his son is running in between their two shops and seems over worked. read more

The food slaps, especially the pan. I had the chicken 365 and the kebab. Both were very good

If you're only interested in good food this is the place. Don't expect too much from the decor/ambience. We had the kebab platter, goat biryani and chicken karahi with naan. The biryani was alright but the other dishes including the naan were fantastic. This my new go to place for Pakistani food in Norcross. The menu is small but the food and service is great. read more

My absolute favorite place for butter chicken and garlic naan bread. It's perfect every-time. Be warm though, if you don't like or can't handle spicy then this dish is not for you. read more

The food was good, but the decor left something to be desired. The benches are wobbly and lean back uncomfortably. We had the chicken 65 and the Kabob platter. The chicken 65 was tasty, but not as good as other places around the area. The do pack a good portion size, too. The kabob platter was also pretty good. I'm no expert on kabobs since this may have very well been my third time having them. The naan was good, but it got cold and hard fast, so eat it quick! read more

Kabab Hut is a good restaurant. I ate the chicken biryani and beef nihari. The food was great, and so was the staff. I highly recommend this place...Enjoy!!! read more

This food is to die for! So delicious and I'm so full!! I thought Authentic Mexican food was the way to go but was treated out to this place and WILL BE COMING BACK, telling my friends, you whom read this and leaving a great 5 star review! read more

Best goat biryani,chicken sheekh kabob,chicken tikka,chicken biryani,good and reasonable prices for to go!!

I got the chicken karahi today. I never had any though I've eaten at many indo-Pakistani/ and Afghan restaurants before. It was delicious. Spiciness was just right. Not sure if they threw in some diced meat (chicken or beef) or that was all just spices in the sauce, but it can get overwhelming if you eat it alone. It's goes good with naan. Chicken was moist, big bone-in chunks. I had wanted to try some of their paki deserts but didn't see them in a case, so i was hesitant. Very good food for right price. read more

Like a lot of ppl here said, the food is good but the service is bad. If you call to order carry out it seems like they don't start your order until you get there, defeats the point of ordering carry out. They forget portions of your order sometimes. One time I ordered 1 dish, showed up and asked for my order, he rung it up and didn't say the total or anything after I said I was here to pick up my food. The order was incorrect (I ordered 1 dish and was charged for 2) and he had to issue me a refund...I had to sit around waiting for the order even though I had ordered it on the phone 30 mins prior (they also don't repeat your order to you or the total on the phone, then don't even say bye so you just get hung up on before you can ask for that info) then it was missing my salad. The salad is right next to the register, the cashier usually has to add it after it's packed by the kitchen staff. They forget the salad 50% of the time and when you do remind them they treat it as such a huge annoyance. I understand carry out isn't priortized but sometimes I come in and I'm the only person in there. The food is good but it's such a bad experience each time you start to weigh if its even worth it going there. Don't order from them if you're already in a bad mood lol read more

I liked this visit a lot more than the last time I was here. I tried their butter chicken. I loved the gravy it was in, but didn't like the pieces of chicken as I am a fan of white meat and not dark meat. I also had the chicken seekh kabob and it was tasty. We ordered naans and they weren't buttered, which I didn't like though it was healthier for me. The mango lassi is pretty good. We also had some kashmiri chai, which was delicious. Food can take a while to come out, but I think it is worth the wait. read more

I have mixed views about this restaurant. The first time we visited this restaurant, about 5 years ago, this place was a small, shaby, typical hole in the wall restaurant, crowded mostly with Pakistani / Indian people, which gave a feeling of authenticity of this place. You order the food at counter and then either pick or wait for the server to bring it to the table. I do not remember what we had ordered the first time, but whatever we had ordered was very delicious, very authentic desi taste( what you get in India or Pakistan). Portions were large, the curries were rich, spicy but not tongue burning hot. Although the curries were bit oily by normal standards, but I guess that is what gave a rich taste to them. The naans were soft and delicious. The prices were unbelievably low. Overall, it was a fantastic eating experience. When my in laws visited 2 year back, I wanted to delight them with authentic desi taste and I only remembered Kabab hut, since my father in law is a big fan of non veg food. I could not remember any other restaurant that he may like, other than this restaurant at that time, since he had just arrived from India and would compare any food here to what he was used to back home. So I took him here in a hope that he will be too happy to taste authentic desi food here in Atlanta. I had too many good things to tell him about this restaurant that raised lot of curiosity in him. Unfortunately, it was a disaster this time. Whatever we ordered, chicken malai boti kabab, tikka boti, chicken 65, chicken kadahi, was not at all to the standard, the taste had fallen substantially from the first time. Malai boti had no taste - totally bland, soggy chicken 65, semi cooked chicken kadhai. I was wondering what the heck went wrong with this place over the years. I had to swallow all the good things I had talked about this place to my father in law :(. Was not happy at all.During this visit, the restaurant had got a powerful face lift - all renovated, nice and clean, good decor and wall hangings. The prices of dishes went up significantly. Unfortunately, quality of food went down. If this was what had to happen with upgrading, I would prefer the old, untidy place that had served the most delicious food. I have not visited it again after that time, but I hope they have gone back to their original quality and taste. Just hoping this place does not loose its authentic flavors in exchange for being jazzy in look. I also feel , may be it was just that bad day for their food. If one asks me , will I go again, I surely will since I believe this place has great potential to serve authentic desi food. That's why I still give it 4 stars. read more

Perhaps the best Mughlai food in the US. By far. Period. Close to the authentic taste one would find in old Delhi.

We came here for dinner when visiting Atlanta. The waiter was very nice to us and the prices were very good. We loved the food so much we decided to come here for dinner on our second day as well. The things we loved are the chicken biryani, channay, nihari, haleem, beef kabob, chicken tikka, and the kulcha. I would really recommend biryani, haleem, and chicken tikka, and of course the kulcha was amazing. Also try the mango milkshake and gajar ka halwa. The only small disappointment they didn't have fish which we wanted to try as well but everything else was good. read more

Tried to order from here via Ubereats. 24 minutes after I placed the order, they cancelled it without any attempt to notify me at all, and no explanation. My card was/is valid and I'm inside the delivery area for this location. In other words, they just didn't feel like filling the order, and cancelled it almost half an hour after I placed it. Thank goodness this isn't the only kebab place in town. Edited to add: 11 Sep 2018, they did it again. Will never try them again. read more

Kabab Hut exceeded our expectations in all aspects, I recently had them cater my wedding and the food and service was nothing less than perfect. I had gotten in contact with Javid and he was a pleasure to work with. I have received multiple compliments from family and friends on the food. read more
