    desi chicken BBQ platter and Biriyani

    I really like their delicious food , excellent quality food with generous portions. Their prices are also very reasonable compared to other restaurants.

    Kebabish is in the same plaza where Natsumi Sushi & Seafood Buffet (formerly Savory Buffet) is located. The suite used to be a flower shop. It was neatly decorated and had a dining capacity for about 40 customers. You had to walk past a long internal window to the left that showed the kitchen preparation area before you encountered any seating. Parking spaces were rather limited in the shared lot out front so finding a spot could be difficult during meal times. I was in the Miramar area to run an errand and stopped by for an afternoon meal. At the time, a special lunch time menu offered a choice of one 'Curry & Salan' item, one BBQ item, one Vegetarian item, white basmati rice, a basket of plain naan, and a fountain drink for a discounted price. I chose the following... * Aloo Keema - Ground beef, potatoes, herbs & spices * Aloo Palak - Curried spinach and potatoes with melted butter * Chicken Reshmi Boti - Barbequed boneless chicken marinated in a blend of yogurt, herbs & spices The server never asked what spice level I wanted for my dishes. I guess he assumed mild because that was how they were prepared. I probably would have requested that end of the spiciness scale anyways. What stood out from these choices was the chicken. Normally, I encounter boneless chicken that is overcooked and dried out at many South Asian cuisine restaurants. That was not the case here as the chef did an excellent job of barbecuing the meat while retaining sufficient moisture. My one concern was the serving size of the two Aloo items. They each came in a vessel that was smaller than I had hoped. The flavors were good, but the quantity should have been increased as part of the lunch time promotion. Besides that, the rest of my experience at Kebabish was at a four star level.

    I came here on a rainy night with some friends as we were craving some Pakistani food. We got several curries, naan, and rice. The rice and meats were average, but the curry was good. We got both garlic naan and original naan, both of which were really fluffy yet crispy, probably the best textured naan I've had yet! The restaurant itself was clean and the staff did their job well. If you're in the mood for Pakistani food, definitely try Kebabish.

    Like always never disappoint Service is great. The server was super attentive. The ambiance is good. They have pakistan music playing and sometimes on the tv shows of pakistan street food. Must try desserts: Tea and the mango lassi

    Amazing flavorful dishes sizzling. Many choices to choose from the menu. We came for a late lunch so it was really quiet. Service is fast and good.

    The food here is delicious!", "I just can't wait to go back and have some more of it " Every bite was a delight. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking the best quality food dining experience. Overall experience was excellent and the service was good

    We tried the Chicken Reshmi Boti, Chicken Karahi, and Chicken Kebab Roll. While the Reshmi Boti was decent, the Karahi and Kebab Roll were incredibly underwhelming, both lacked flavor and tasted bland. Given the amazing reviews, I had high expectations, but the experience fell flat. To top it off, the Kebab Roll was served on a paper plate at a sit-down restaurant, which felt out of place and added to the disappointment.

    Chicken Reshmi Boti with yogurt sauce. Very tasty!

LOL I really liked how easy the waitlist process was. You show up, scan the QR code, add your name, number of people in your party, and get updates while you wait. Super simple and convenient. The owner, Syed Afzal, was up front checking on things while guests were being seated and to-go orders were flying out the door. He was incredibly pleasant and took the time to chat with me about the most popular items, especially for a busy Friday night after 10pm. He went over the top sellers, the most unique dishes, and he even shared a funny story about a couple who had apparently gotten into an argument/fight a few weeks back over a reserved table. LOL He also mentioned the other restaurants he and his partners have opened throughout NorCal and SoCal. Such a cool, welcoming guy, and you can tell there's a lot of pride behind what they're building and they love what they do. Now let's talk about the food and the atmosphere. Everything came out hot, fresh, and beautifully plated. The whole restaurant had such great energy, with so many guests clearly enjoying their food just as much as I was, and some were celebrating something special by the way they were dressed. I had the goat dum biryani, and while it was packed with flavor, it eventually got a little too spicy for me, even with plenty of raita on top. So I happily took the rest home for a visiting sibling who loves spicy food. The chicken malai kebab, though? Absolutely to die for. Tender, flavorful, and easily something I would order again and again. The service was top-notch and the staff always came with a smile. Multiple people checked on me throughout the meal, and the entire restaurant ran like a well-oiled machine. I can't wait to come back with a big group so we can order a ton of different dishes and try even more of the menu. This place is popular for a reason. Couldn't be happier!

Every time I asked about my order, I was told "5 more minutes," but this kept happening over and over. What should have been a short wait ended up taking about 40 minutes. When I finally received my food, it was packed in a much smaller box than what I have always gotten from this location. The portion was so small that my hand--and even my 10-year-old son's hand--was bigger than the container. It definitely did not feel like the amount I paid for. Between the long wait, the repeated delays, the small portion, and the poor customer service, this was a very frustrating experience. As a Pakistani, I expected much better from a restaurant serving our cuisine. Unfortunately, after this experience, I won't be eating here again

You must order this--it was so good! I'm especially glad I came with a friend who's an expert in Indian cuisine. She actually texted me beforehand and recommended this place specifically for this appetizer. I didn't even see it on the menu, so finding it was an unexpected bonus! For the main course, we ordered the Amaravathi Fish Biryani, featuring tender pieces of fish layered with fragrant basmati rice. It was absolutely delicious--not too salty, with just the right amount of spice. I normally order chicken masala at Indian restaurants, so this was my first time trying a fish dish, and it was definitely the right choice. The portion was huge--easily enough for two people, with plenty of leftovers. The restaurant has beautiful décor, and I really loved the ambiance. I'll definitely be back to try more dishes!

Inside the restaurant, it was very clean! Lots of parking all around the plaza.

The base price with falafel or chicken Shawarma was Close to $16 but since I chose the meat, they added two dollars to my total. It took about 10 minutes for them to assemble my meal, but my veggies were cooked fresh on the stove, which was really nice. They tasted very freshly cooked just as they would as if I had cooked them myself at home. I was there about 1245 on a Monday and there were a few people there and they had some takeout orders so my order took about 10 minutes before I could walk out the door with it. They had a nice condiment bar where you could pick out some yogurt with dill sauce and then they're famous garlic yogurt sauce, as well as a jalapeño sauce And another spicy hot one that I would never try. When I got back to the jury room to eat my meal, I saw that there was a nice quantity of the fresh salad and the grilled vegetables but the meat was piled high! The employees were working efficiently and the place was spotless and orderly.
