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.
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! :)
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.
Their food, service, and ambiance is all amazing! Very cozy seating inside. Great for family dinners. Everything we ordered tasted delicious, especially the toofani aaloo. 10/10 definitely recommend!
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!!!
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 .
"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

We had a great time trying Kababjees NY and getting to explore Pakistani cuisine. Their menu has such a great variety, from BBQ kababs and Bihari rolls to traditional favorites, freshly baked naan and paratha, and desserts. There's a lot to choose from, whether you're already familiar with Pakistani food or trying it for the first time. They have locations in both Hicksville and Selden, making it an easy one to add to your Long Island food list. 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

I had an opportunity to come here for Lunch time and I was very shocked with the amazing service provided by this restaurant. Mr Faisal is someone that went above and beyond to ensure the food we ordered was fresh and delicious after this it was worth rewriting a review for this restaurant. 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
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. Service can be improved There is a waiting time usually and they can get busy. They don't accept reservations. We were a party of 15 people and on a sunday evening 6:30 pm- our wait time was approx 30 mins 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

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
Excellent Pakistani food. We tried a variety of things. The nihari and karhai were delicious. The Bihari boti was good and the seekh kebab was ok. We also had a couple of paratha rolls - super good. The limca was nice and refreshing. They have a pretty big space and it was busy. So go early or make a reservation. Definitely recommend. read more
OMG! PLEASE GO HERE ASAP This place is so damn good and it's FREAKING PAKISTANI. You will not get Pakistani food this good unless you're in Pakistan, and also, most importantly SO CLEAN. I actually want to take all my friends here because it is so clean and nice and the food is actually good. I died for the nihari and the biryani. Just go and you will not be disappointed. Seriously, a gem in new york~ read more
