Visited Kababjees and had such a great experience exploring a wide variety of their menu. The restaurant has a casual, welcoming vibe and is known for serving authentic Pakistani cuisine with bold, rich flavors. We started with appetizers like vegi samosas, spring rolls, pakora, and aloo tikki. Everything came out fresh, crispy, and full of flavor, making it a great way to kick off the meal. For the mains, we tried a mix of dishes including lahori channa, beef haleem, beef nihari, butter chicken, chicken pulao, and vegetable noodles. Each dish had its own depth of flavor, from the rich and comforting slow cooked curries to the perfectly spiced rice and noodles. The nihari and haleem especially stood out for how hearty and traditional they tasted. These types of dishes are known for their deep, slow cooked flavors and are staples in Pakistani cuisine. We also had items from the mixed grill along with fresh naan and white rice which tied everything together perfectly. The portions were generous and great for sharing. To end the meal, we tried desserts and drinks like mango delight, fruit custard, and rooh afza which were refreshing and a perfect sweet finish. Service was friendly and the space is great for groups or family style dining. Overall, this is a solid spot if you're looking for authentic Pakistani food with a wide variety of options and comforting, flavorful dishes. read more

Yummy Pakistani food! Lots of dishes to choose from. Everything we tried was delicious and the spice point was right on point (we LOVE anything spicy and hate when places shy away from it). Definitely need to go back and try more! read more

One cellular delicious dining experience. Loved the Pakistani trucks & rickshaw interior decoration and ambiance. The service was great, servers were very attentive. Love the free parking lot they provide. Palak paneer was fresh and green. Our gola kababs were so tender & juicy, loved the taste. Tikka roll was superb as well as the toofani aloo. We really liked everything about this place. The seating inside is very open & comfortable tables aren't crammed next to one another which is great. Naan were perfect and soft. read more

Food was really good but was disappointed they didn't have nehari..very crowded and small place.

Came in on a random Wednesday night, place was completely empty which is always frightening but a plus for me. Ordered a variety of dishes, Beef, Chicken and Lamb. Everything is mediocre, Naan is decent. Nothing to Rave about but nothing to complain about other than the bathroom being pretty filthy. read more

The low ratings have me confused because my experience was great. Everything was quite delicious! The service was welcoming and fast as well. We had the beef Bihari, beef and lamb kebabs, chicken tikka legs and thighs, naan and their speciality bread: lahori kulcha. Nothing was over cooked or dry. It was all seasoned well too. I really liked the lahori kulcha. More than their naan. Up until the day I went, I had never had a lahori kulcha. It's more on the sweet side compared to naan and I loved every bite of it!! The restaurant is pretty huge and enough room for large family parties. It was pretty packed on Friday, at 8 PM, when we went. There is also a parking lot which makes parking convenient. We came all the way from Brooklyn. So if you know the drive, it's pretty long to get there. But I'd say it was worth the drive! I think my only thing is, even though we did have enough to pack for leftovers, for each serving to be a little bigger. Instead of 2 kebabs, I'd love to have 4. But to be fair, they have their all-you-can-eat nights and I'm really trying to make it all the way out there for that! Because from my experience, on a regular night, the proportions are just too small for my liking. Like I said we'll be back! :) read more

Water presented as free but was charged. Naan refills were charged as well. Oily food.

Posting a very late review of the Iftar buffet from Ramadan. Basically I called, made my reservation, and paid on the spot via zelle for my party. Upon arriving we gave our name and they showed us to our seats. We arrived about fifteen min before which I highly recommend doing, if not sooner because despite the restaurant being in a plaza you might be circling for parking for a little while and everyone rushes in to fill up their plates about five ten min before Iftar time. Their selection of food was vast but unfortunately the quality of the food was just okay or total miss. The samosas and spring rolls were evidently store bought and the latter was actually disgusting, which I hate to say about food but it really had zero redeemable qualities. I would reccomend totally skipping any of the fried appetizers because they were total wastes of stomach space. The appetizers that were good however were the fish and the onion rings were seemingly made in house and pretty good. Then came the array of salans. I sampled pretty much everything and the butter chicken, channa, Karahi keema, and nihari were the ones I enjoyed most. There were two types of rice available as well. Unfortunately it was kinda clear everything was very quickly thrown together with little thought because on the chicken tikkas there was still fat so it was clear it wasn't cleaned properly before preparing. There were three choices of dessert too, the gajar ka halwa was plain bad. Very clear they didn't use butter or ghee in its prep but oil. Soda was an additional charge but lassi, water, and rooh afza was free. As for prayer space, when I called to make my reservation I had asked if there was any and they had said yes. When we got there this designated prayer space was literally on the sidewalk outside the restaurant. It was cold and raining so that was not pleasant. Overall I was happy to have had the experience and try the variety of the food but I would never do it again at kababjees and I would definitely never come back in any capacity for any of the other food. read more

Here to pickup an order for a family member. I don't eat here and now I remember why. No one here to greet me and 2 women walked out for waiting too long. Cook comes outside and yells that there is a customer here. Woman comes out with naan and no one in restaurant. Read my other Kababjees review and the other yelp review about a cockroach in their food. read more

Always good food ! Never disappointed! Loved it ! The owner uncle is so nice going each table and asking people about food .

One of the best halal Pakistani restaurant for authentic kebab items. They have wide varieties of delicious items in a very reasonable price. On site parking is available. Interior is eye catching and you will receive top customer service. Don't forget to try their koolfi ice cream before you leave. Highly recommended!!! read more

Pictured: Chicken Biryani, Mixed Grill, Butter chicken, Mayo Garlic Fries You can never go wrong with traditional Pakistani cuisine Food was all a 7/10 - mixed grill was a bit dry and chicken biryani was lacking spice.They ran out of their toofani aloo which was disappointing. But overall everything tasted pretty good. We loved the truck art decor throughout this restaurant! read more

Came as a party of four. Ordered a large order. Once our one order came right away a small cockroach came out under the naan of charsi tikka. Kababjees do better! We are civil people but I am sure someone else would have ripped you guys a new one. Never returning here again. read more

I have definitely had way way better !! Mango Lassi was good but it's hard to mess that up. The chicken Karahi was kind of blend . The chicken and cheese katti roll was okay . The chicken briyani was a bit flavorless . Service was none existent. The waitress just got my Order and never came up again . Would never come again . read more

"One of the most Authentic Pakistani Cuisines in New York" said by close friend of mine. We drove 45 mins to dine here to see the hype. Got greeted seated it right away. The place was well decorated with truck art and things from Pakistan . I had known in advance what dishes to order and to get the spice level to the medium. We started with the Aloo Tufan , which was well presented. Next we had to do the Karahis , that's what they are known for. Also a must is to try the "Halal Guide Platter". Also the Karahi is by the pound , so for example for 2 people a pound is enough. You gotta do the naan, especially the garlic naan. Ambiance- 10/10 Large Groups - Yes Call In Advance WiFi - Not sure Parking - Parking Lot Service - 10/10 Must Try's - Kulfi and The Halal Guide Platter Thanks to Raza , Hasan , Ammad read more

Not sure about the harsh reviews. Took a party of 9 for brunch on Sunday 1130am. Food was fresh place was clean service was excellent. Will definitely be back again inshallah read more

I got the WORST NAANS OF THE WORLD. Yes you read it right. Embarrassed me and my family in front of our guests. Food is expensive and service is really bad. Ambience also is normal. It was such a hurting experience. Save your money and go somewhere else. If you want to go there, stay there, eat there and if something is not good, return right away. In that, still expect bad service and expensive pricing. This is summary feelings of mine after 3 visits to this place. read more

The staff was being mistreated by the old man with hat who walks around and watches everyone eating it is really intrusive and extremely inappropriate he was yelling at the poor lady server who was trying her best to clean dishes and threatening to kick her out in the street she was so upset and I really felt uncomfortable read more

Authentic Pakistani Cuisine Kababjees 495 S Broadway, Hicksville, NY 11801 One of the most Authentic Pakistani Cuisine in New York. I have heard a lot of things about this place. "It's a hit or miss. Is it just the hype?" I drove 45 mins to dine here to see. A thing to note, is that the place is well decorated. You have beautiful artwork displayed and they even have a rickshaw (taxi). : Chicken Karahi Naan Chicken Tikka Masla Tufani Aloo Review: (3 out of 5 Stars) The food is fresh, sizzling hot and delicious! I recommend the chicken karahi with naan. The customer service needs improvement. The staff can be more attentive to customers as it does get busy, and you might have to get the waiter's attention. I'm surprised they don't have chai on the menu. Be patient, the food does take a while; approximately 45 minutes because everything is made fresh to order. Overall, a good restaurant for Pakistani food. I have to check them out again. Definitely, check them out and let me know what you think. As always Don't forget to say Bismillah and Alhamdulilah for everything #kababjees read more

30 dollars per person for what? This is oily terrible food. They have only 2 desert options and one looked so unappetizing and the other tasted terrible. The service wasn't bad but that doesn't make up for the atrocity of what this food was. Please, you're helping yourself by not coming here. Take pictures and leave. read more

Went here for the first time and i couldn't believe my eyes when i looked over at the cashier and he had his foot up on the table right next to cash register literally picking his toenails. I understand he is the cashier and probably doesn't handle food but it's a restaurant and everyone who is eating shouldn't have to see you picking in between your toes and under your toenails. If you've been here you know the register desk is where EVERYONE can see! Lol!! Absolutely insane. read more

I went there for Nihari Night. The inside was nicely decorated and service was friendly. They had unlimited Maghaz Nihari, Goat Paya, Chicken Nihari, Lamb Nihari and Bong paya. My favorite was Maghaz Nihari. Chicken Nihari and Bong Paya were good. Did not like the Lamb Nihari or Goat Nihari it had a smell. Then got their house Kulfi and it was delicious. read more

Was looking forward to trying this place for a while as a friend told me this place was good. I ended up coming here a few weeks ago with two other friends for dinner on a Saturday night. Place was pretty packed out as some people were having a party here or something. Interior seemed pretty ok; there didn't seem to be an abundance of space but we got a table and it was fine. I had scouted out the menu prior to arriving and was looking forward to getting a few cheap kebabs and some naan or something. I was disappointed when I saw the menu because I saw a picture on Yelp a few months back that showed that they had individual kababs priced around $1.50 (chicken) to $2.00 (reshmi) each. But when I came a few weeks ago, the menu indicated that the kababs come in sets of 3 and the cheapest one (chicken) was $6. Not a bad price at all but I was disappointed that you had to order 3 and the price went up. In addition one of my friends is vegetarian and most of their vegetarian options on the menu were unavailable that day for some reason. Anyways, I ended up getting chicken kababs ($6) and naan ($1.50). Food came out and it looked and smelled really good. Everything here seemed really spicy. My friend got a chick pea dish and another friend got lamb and both dishes were very spicy. They give you a green sauce as well, and that packed heat too. Overall it was a bit too spicy for me even though I like spicy food. My kababs were very solid though and the naan was soft, hot, and tasty as well. I definitely enjoyed my meal. Overall I'd give three stars for my experience. Close to 4 but I gave three mainly because of what I mentioned with the menu / prices. And there wasn't any other aspects of the experience like customer service or other details that made it a great experience. Hopefully I'll try this place again sometime in the future; it definitely seemed very popular because there were a lot of people waiting. *** Edit *** - After I posted my review, the reported owner / chef of the restaurant sent me a message saying sorry for any inconvenience, thanking me for my review, and offered to be contacted next time to make sure the experience is better. He didn't ask me to change my review rating or anything but he seemed like he cared about my experience being less than stellar. For me it's a big deal when any business responds to feedback and makes efforts to provide a better experience so I'm adding another star to my review, making it 4 stars instead of 3. Cheers. read more

I'm so glad I came across Kababjees because I've been looking for a great, clean, beautiful Pakistani restaurant since foreverrrrr in NY! Food: I tried the mix platter, toofani aloo, goat karahi, chicken karahi, garlic naan, and sesame naan! Everything was a complete hit and super flavorful! Nothing was over the top spicy to the point where you can't taste anything so I really appreciated that balance of seasoning that the food had. I also was really impressed by the naan because it was super fluffy and soft and a little thicker than most Pakistani restaurants. I definitely recommend getting that. The toofani aloo was SOOOO good and I love the presentation of it! Drinks: I tried the mango lassi which was pretty good and refreshing and complimented the food! Service: Great service! I mean the staff is really on top of their game and properly follow mask guidelines. Ambiance: WOW, it is STUNNING INSIDE! This restaurant really showcases the beautiful side of Pakistani culture and I love the map which is inclusive to all cultures of Pakistan. I also really want to emphasize that I found this restaurant to be really clean which is important...whether COVID exists or not lol. I will definitely be returning for more! This is my new favorite Pakistani restaurant read more

Terrible lunch buffet my friends and I had to experience. The mixed grill was cold and had a piece of hair on it. The chicken karahi was only bones and no meat. Their was only oil and no curry. It was super bland. The naan was okay. Not that many good options if you go for buffet. Overall would not recommend to anyone. Service was not so good as well because we asked for rice and they did not go e us any rice for some reason. read more

Great spot. Food is good! We ordered karahi chicken, karahi goat, beef nihari, chicken nuggets, n french fries. Food is spicy and seems authentic. Serving size is small for the price.

We were a party of 15 people and on a sunday evening 6:30 pm- our wait time was approx 30 mins read more

What a joy it was to feast on wonderful goat, beef and chicken. You cant go wrong with the chicken and goat karahi. The chutney chicken roll is so addicting. The beef kabab is simply perfect.

Yesterday was our moms 50th bday celebration so we decided to stay home and order in. We ordered 5lbs of qarai ghosht from here they charged $125 for bones and oil literally. We all were so pissed at the fact that there was all bones and no meat on the bones if there was a bite of meat it was hard and not chewable. Such a disappointment. They charge so much and give nothing. Overly priced and not satisfied. Very unhappy with the way they made the food. read more

Having grown up eating Pakistani food, I have pretty high standards for a good ole paki restaurant. While the toofani aloos are pretty famous or snap story worthy, I feel like taste wise it could be crunchier. My biggest dissatisfaction was with both Karahi's I ordered (chicken & goat). Although they both tasted good, half the meat was BONES. There was not even a ton of masala which made it hard to eat with the naan. That being said, the naans were really good, we ordered regular and Lahori kulcha which I would recommend. The lahori kulcha is basically naan with sesame seeds. I came with a big group so gratuity was already included, but even if I was to remove that the order total was around $30 per person. In my humble opinion, to the pricey side with the restaurant that doesn't necessarily have superior service or dishes worth the price. read more
