Kababish Indo-Pak Cuisine Menu

Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

  • Umar A.

    I was born in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan. It should be noted that us Lahoris do not take the matter of food lightly in any way, shape, or form. My mother, also being of the great city of Lahore, is an exceptional cook. This seemingly biased claim is substantiated by the numerous experienced mothers and newlyweds who write to her and ask for her recipes for various dishes. Because of the expertise of my mother when it comes to pakistani food, I despise eating out at restaurants that serve pakistani food because it never lives up to my absurdly high standards. However, for the first time ever, I did not mind eating traditional food out. In fact, I loved it. The chicken biryani was exceptional. Not only were the portions amazing based on the price, the ratio of chicken to rice was amazing. The level of spice was just enough to make my nose run, which only made me love it even more. In addition, the lassi was very good. Very few places serve good lassi and this place is certainly one of them. Despite its hole-in-the-wall appearance (which I love), this place certainly makes top of the line chicken biryani.

    Not as good as the reviews. Total let down!!!! We ordered a mango milk shake, kashmiri chai (hot milk tea), chicken biryani and palak paneer. The 2 stars are for the delish milk shake and service only. The chicken biryani lacked the real biryani flavor. The chicken in the biryani was dry and looked stale and old like it was cooked days ago. The palak paneer had no Paneer!!!! We wont dine in again. Big DISAPPOINTMENT!!!!!

    Don't let the inside of this place fool you (it looks like a no frills Chinese takeout) - the smells alone let you know that you're in for the treat. Our waitress and the manager (possible owner?) were very friendly and helpful, especially since Ken's never had Indian or Pakistani food before, and it's been years for me. We were very disappointed they were out of the Fried White Chicken (breast), but they promised this is a rare occurrence. The Vegetable Samosas more than made up for my peeve. I've previously had samosas with pastry crust and two spicy dipping sauces. At Kababish, they put the spice inside, use a crispy wonton wrapper, and serve with a sweet tamarind sauce. Warning: Highly addictive! (heck, while we were there, they took a phone advanced order for 120 Chicken Samosas!!) $0.75/each. I could have eaten a half dozen easily. I chose the mild Palak Paneer as my entree (and I don't care if that makes me ball-less because I love the creamy consistency and earthy spice). Good, but I'd try another dish next time. Ken branched out and chose the Mutton Karahi Gosht, medium, which was bone-in goat (actually I think lamb, based on the size of the bones) in a spiced tomato-based curry. The mutton was very tender, and not hard to de-bone/de-fat, and the sauce was so rich and complex - you can tell it stews forever. Amazing naan - much more like thin pizza crust (think Cellar 849) than I remember. Wonderful counterpoint to the saucy entrees. Signage announced a buffet coming soon. With how tiny this place is - six booths and a couple of tables - I don't know where they'd put the buffet, or how they'd seat enough people. But, I'm looking forward to it, and to trying more items at Kababish.

    Please skip this one, trust me. It started out well enough, but when we came in at 6:45 it was empty. That should have been our first clue. A woman came out, and when we started to order she began to lecture us on how we should have ordered before we showed up. When we began to ask her about what was good, she told us what was ready, what we could get. We ordered, she plunked down two bottles of water (from Aldi's) And she told us it would be 40 minutes. After a few minutes she brought out some cracker type things, and then some salad with huge chunks of carrot. Oh and she also plunked down styrofoam plates and plastic forks and spoons (I broke the fork on my giant chunk of carrot) I had to finish my salad with a plastic spoon. The food. The only reason this review has two stars is for the food. It was very, very good. Here's one problem, she way over charged us. She charged us for the water (which we never asked for). She also charged us extra for garlic naan (even though plain naan was included in the cost of the meal, garlic was apparently $4 extra, without telling us ahead of time). Maybe if naan was free and it cost $1 extra for garlic that would be reasonable.... But seriously $4 extra, each? So a $20 bill goes to over $30. Not good. Good food, bad service.

    Anything less then 5 will be wrong for this place. Female owned, extremely clean and like home environment. Went there twice but wish could have gone there more times. Food is very tasty, not a typical bangali place but a real Pakistani Food joint. YOU WILL FEEL LIKE AT HOME away from home (specially for me being from DC area)

  • Rabiya L.

    have been coming here for past 6 years, and since than they have changed 4 owners, but the problem is as always persistent it takes them 30 min to prep 2 naan, or if you add an entree it will be 45 mins. it's like you are gone to someone's house and they are serving you, really unprofessional. giving 3 starts cuz at times food is great. but they are not consistent

  • Ritwik D.

    I wanted to give it a 5 * but giving 4 because some people will find the ambience a little turn off, else everything about this place is excellent. The food is fabulous, very tasty and prepared fresh( worth waiting for it a little bit ). I will definitely return to this place often whenever I get chance. Try the kabobs, lamb karahi, biriyani, paya, haleem etc.

    We have always driven by this place and wondered. Never feeling adventurous enough to try it. We often would eat at Los Tres Amigos, which is right across the street, and say "maybe we will try that place next time". After a series of fortunate events and bad roads we decided to finally try it. And man! I am so happy we did. At first I was put off by the place. The decor was warm and the place was small. There may be 10 tables in the whole place. When we finally tried to order they were out of a number of things. And we ended up with potato pakoras, chicken korma, mango lassi, & some other chicken dish that we were talked into. I asked the waiter (who was also our cook) if he could make the korma spicy, and he said I could have it as spicy as I wanted. So I ordered it hot. The pakoras came and you could tell they were just fried - not soggy. "Auntie" (who was shouting directions at the cook/waiter) who I assume owns or runs the place gave us some Chana something to try. It all felt so homey and inviting. Like I was at my grandma's house. Yeah. You drink water out of a Styrofoam cup and eat off of a Styrofoam plate, but who cares! I want to go back tomorrow. The food gave me life.

    On my other Yelp inspired adventure lately, I visited Kababish. I had seen this while it was still in the pre-opening stages and promptly forgot about it. Darin's review was a good wake up call that it had indeed opened. As I trust him, reading his review made me want to stop in even more. I had to find a friend to come with me as I knew it would not be James' cup of tea. The atmosphere here is pleasant and warm. The people are very friendly. It is not big and it's hard to find if you do not know what you are looking for. This makes me worry for them, as it is Canton is not filled with the most adventurous eaters per se. The upside is its reasonably priced here, which is in their favor. We went with the app based on Darin's write up, because it sounded delicious. The pani poori was a hit with us too. It's fun and tasty. I am a sucker for chickpeas in all their forms at any rate. The pani tickles the tastebuds with a bit of snap. Yum. For meals we went veg as my friend is not a big lover of the flesh. Everything was fresh and delicious. The aloo gobi was very nicely spiced and happy. Tender-crisp type veggies here and not mush, yay. I am a fan of anything cauliflower though as far as Indian-ish cuisine goes. The veggie biryani with yogurt raita was extremely tasty although I will admit I wish we could have done chicken. I am a hard core carnivore though. The naan was a nice addition but you cannot beat more carbs ever in my book. So for my limited experience type Indian and far more limited type Pakistani palate it worked, very happy tastes. I am definitely likely to come back to explore further on my own now. I will be diving into the chicken or lamb next for sure. As a relative newb, I do need more friends to guide me to the best food for sure so I appreciated seeing it on Yelp, thanks Darin!

    I tried the lamb biryani and it was good. The place needs to be spruced up. The owners should stop taking up half the seats and talking loudly while customers are around. It seems like the Fat kid takes up 2 booths everytime I was at this place. The wait staff are very nice and so is the lady chef.

    A small and cozy Pakistani place that serves up great food at super reasonable prices, especially compared with the local competition. Dishes hover around six to seven dollars, and has all the wonderful flavors and spices one can expect. The curry dish we had was rich and tasty, and I really enjoyed their version of Palek Paneer. (Cheese Spinach Curry dish). Their samosas are mini and cute, and I could eat a dozen. The best thing about Kababish is their light hand with the Ghee. (Clarified Butter) Incidentally the food feels much lighter and healthier. Again, a great addition to Canton's Indian Alley, and I look forward to visiting this place a lot.

    Yesterday I had an iftar buffet and omg it was delicous. Everything was ready when we got there. They had almond filled dates, fresh crispy pakoras, mint chutney, raita, fruit chat, smoked tandoori chicken, french fries, chicken biryani, vege biryani, and ice cold rooh afza and water. The staff was really good with refilling the buffet. We were there for 1.5 hours. The price of the buffet was 9.99 per person. Their menu says Halal on it.

    I don't why this place doesn't SELL itself more as a Pakistani restaurant; the food is distinguished, and good. Kababs are outstanding! My favourite is Chappli made with ground beef; the blend of spices is near perfection, the thought of these juicy meat patties makes my mouth watering, You can get it burger-style too, for those that crave familiarity. This is a real conversation: Me: Want to try Pakistani food? Friend: Nah, I don't eat that stuff Me: Have you tried before? Friend: Noop, I like burgers Me: Oh You can get burgers there. They have a different name for it, but it looks like a burger and tastes better than a burger. Come on, you will see. THE END. I didn't lose a friend. He's gone back to try other dishes.

    This is a nice addition to the growing number of Indian (or Pakistani) food options in the western Wayne county area. We had a fun appetizer, Pani Poori, which I gather means 'sweet water'. It is served with puffed crackers that you crack open with your spoon, fill with a robust aromatic chick pea filling. You then dip your filled cracker puff in the pani (which is more tart & vinegary than sweet by my palate) and add some sweet tamarind sauce. I have eaten a wide variety of standard American Indian fare, and this was a standout dish - a unique delight. For our entrees we had Tadka Daal (a spicy lentil dish), and Mutton Karahi Gosht (bone-in, I found out the hard way) garnished with medium-hot thinly sliced green chiles. Both dishes were great, and served with fantastic naan bread. We stuffed ourselves. The service was wonderful - our server knew the menu well and made helpful suggestions. They have just opened recently and I really hope they pick up a following quickly. They are a welcome addition to the neighborhood. They are closed Mondays, FYI

    I had the vegetarian sampler plate for lunch, and it was excellent. The only thing was that it was served on a large, dimpled metal plate, which is fine, of course, but, the problem with that is that metal is cold, so the food, which wasn't superhot to begin with, got lukewarm very fast, and that's a bit of a bummer when the food is so tasty you wanna savor it! A major plus was that the meal was very reasonably priced in the $7 range, and service was very attentive and courteous.

    A small place, but serves delicious food. I recommend them highly! We have tried various mutton, chicken, and vegetarian dishes and have enjoyed them all.

    A nice alternative to the more popular Ashoka and NeeHee's. We're vegetarians, so there may be more variety elsewhere, but the food at Kababish was flavorful and spicy without just dumping a bunch of red pepper flakes in the mix. We also had the Dahi Baray to start, a cold dish that grew on me. Would definitely go back, and am glad to have discovered a new spot for South Asian food.

    I love Kababish, and went there in its original incarnation on Ford Road. When they closed, I was dismayed because I thought their flavors and prices beat out other Indo-Pak or Indian restaurants in the area. When they reopened, I rushed to check out their new digs. My 6-yo son calls it the "tiny place", but it definitely has character. We typically go there to place a carry-out order, but sit and wait and have some kheer or a smoothie in the meantime. The service has always been friendly, charmed by the 6-yo's antics, and willing to meet any needs. However, this week, I had a less-than-perfect carry-out experience. When our food came, I opened up the bag and checked for what I thought was the appropriate amount of containers. But when I got home, I discovered that I had my two veg dishes but did not have the chicken dish I had ordered (and paid for). When I called to ask about this, the man who had been so helpful in the restaurant doubted my story, asked me to double check, asked me if perhaps my mom (who had a separate order) had gotten my missing dish, and asked if maybe it fell out of the bag. What? When he finally consulted the owner/chefs, they admitted they forgot to pack our chicken dish. By this time it was after 8pm and I needed to put my son in bed, so I was not prepared to go back out for the chicken. The young man said he thought that if I left my name, I could pick it up another time. Hello? I pointed out that they already had my money, but I did not have their food. I also mentioned that I thought something on top of the missing chicken would be appropriate, for my inconvenience. He hedged, saying he didn't know what they could do for me. I suggested that a couple of samosas or some kheer would be enough to satisfy me, and wasn't it important to most restaurants to keep their customers happy? He said that because the *aren't very busy* he didn't know if they could afford to comp me anything at all. I certainly think my future business (when I've been buying delicious food from them for the past six years or so) is worth a free dish of rice pudding. Don't you? I'm going to try to resolve this today. We shall see... ***When I walked in, I was greeted by one of the owner/chefs. She apologized profusely for the mistake, and said they had been training a new employee and he made the mistake. She made me a fresh Chicken Tikka Masala and threw in an extra naan for my trouble. So, I'm satisfied. Also: Kababish is going to try a lunch buffet, weekdays (Tu-F) only, starting in the next few weeks. Please check it out - when I was there today they had only a handful of customers.

    First the good; the veggie samosa was flaky and flavorful and the bread was hot and fresh out of the tandoori. The place is new and clean, and our waiter was really friendly. We were the only people there, but apparently they must have had a mad rush on Monday and Tuesday because they were out of ingredients for several dishes on the menu. I had to ask for silverware after he brought my samosa.. No ice in the water or soft drinks, apparently you have to ask for that as well. We ordered the chicken korma and the mutton curry. Both dishes were spiced very well and extremely flavorful, however, it is the greasy version of both dishes, swimming in ghee. I do not mind this version of the dishes (though my current diet only allowed me a few bites), it is a regional thing, but a lot of people will probably be put off. I will definitely be back to re-review hopefully this time to a full menu. I will try the kabob and tandoori chicken for sure next time as they are usually done really well by the northern regions and update my stars appropriately.

India is the birth place of Chicken Tikka Masala and Curries. Indian foods are prepared with a blend of finely mixed spices quite popular across the region. The spices develop the rich taste in Indian food enough to boggle your mind. The ever-increasing fan base of Indian food around the New York city is steadily increasing because of the large number of Indians who traveled to the land of dreams. The Indians also brought their very own vibrant, colorful, and aromatic authentic dishes for the people in the West. While most of the Indian population is Vegetarian, Indian food is great for people who are looking for vegan or vegetarian food option. If you are a Meat lover, don't get disappointed yet. Indian food also boasts of some popular non-vegetarian dishes too. Few examples are the famous Butter Chicken, Mutton Biryani and Tandoori Chicken are enough to satisfy your taste buds.

The South Indian food servers a quality of different dishes made from rice accompanied with spicy chutneys, curries and famous sambhar. Also, the Indian sweets are a delight to relish. If you ever want to have a burst of sugar syrup in mouth, don't forget to try few Bengali Sweets. Be it spicy, tangy, or sweet flavor, you can find everything in the Indian cuisine. Be assured that the melody of spices will surely bring delight to you.
