| ★★★★ The open kitchen will make your clothes smell like food. Aside from that, the place is solid. It's known for its fish, which is pretty good. I've enjoyed all the tandoori and karahi I had here. |

|
| ★★★★ This place is better for take-out and there is no ambiance, the seating is limited, and the place is not clean. The food is okay. They have nice fish dishes. Service was also good and prices were reasonable. |

|
| ★★★★ Well known Pakistani restaurant which is known for it's fish. Pretty good food here. Very small area for seating (it's literally a hole in the wall). If you are looking for fine dining in a clean space, then don't come here, but definitely has good food. |

| ★ I love the food, I absolutely do. I've eaten there over 10 times already. Their food is really really good and it is worth sitting in that crowded place. But in recent times, I noticed too many flies around the windows. The owners are not too friendly. If they were to be located in Sacramento, they would have been shut down by the county already. |

|
| ★ I walked into the restaraunt and noticed that there was no halal sign, like the overwhelming majority of halal restaraunts all across the bay area. I asked the man if the food was halal, since I was new to the area. The man was extremely rude! He requested that I go look for his supplier and ask them. What a ridiculous answer. They were very defensive about the subject. It has to make you wonder. There is nothing wrong with asking an establishment for a halal verification, if such information is not visibly stated or implied. |

| ★★ Food is just alright. The place is pretty unhygienic, tables are crammed together, and service is not good. |

| ★★★★ Kabana is your stereo typical paki restaurant. The food is amazing.!!!
It's not the cleanest place in the world, and it's not the dirtiest place in the world.....you be the judge. |

|
| ★★★ The food is great! Especially the fish tandoori. Hygiene is a bit of a problem. Very small if you are thinking of going in a large group. Parking is also a problem. However, owner is very friendly and nice. |

| ★★★★ I think this is the place desi restaurant in the berkeley/oakland area. Their parathas melt in your mouth. The fish and chicken dishes are very good. This restaurant is not the cleanest but which desi restaurant really is? |

|
| ★★★ I am writing my review REALLY late, so things may have changed since. Food was OK. Place was dirty, and they were hosing the place down around us while we were eating. Another thing that turned me off was that the owner doesn't use beef for seekh kababs, only lamb...upon asking why he commented that Hindus will stop coming to his restaurant....Well, my friend you need to stop being insecure and focus on improving quality of your food (By the way, Shalimar uses beef for many dishes and Hindus still crowd that place)... |

| ★ I parked outside, and just by looking through the window, the place was so dirty that I changed my mind and drove away.
Be careful eating there, it does NOT look clean at all. |

| ★★★★★ The most authentic Pakistani restaurant in the Bay Area - lamb curry is absolutely fantastic as are the tandoori dishes. Goat curry on weekends is also a big plus! |

| ★★★★★ Great place. Fish! One of the best pakistani I've seen. |
|

| |
|
| ★★★★ the chicken curry is tops -- cooked
in a giant pot with a very thick
and spicy sauce. similar to shalimar gardens in s.f.
the naan (or is it tandori roti?)
is usually excellent too,
though the rice can be clumpy. |

| ★★★★★ We live around the block and have been eating there for years. It's dark, the decor is super cheesy 70s-Karachi-chic, and yes, it's "dirty." Whatever. We've never gotten sick, never known anyone who got sick, and we've eaten there more times than I can count. The food is legendary: I agree that the fish is the best, but the karachi lamb is a close second (although it used to be better when it was made with less lamb and more green chiles). The biryanis are pretty darn good too. |

| ★★★★★ the food is fantastic; the cleanliness is fine; these people do not know what they are talking about; long live spiciness; long live green chili |

|
| ★★★★★ Yeah, Kabana is a greasy spoon kind of place, but that's part of its charm. There's a reason why it's standing room only (aside from the small seating area) - the food is burn-your-digestive-tract good. If you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen! Leaves more seating area for the rest of us! |

| ★ I ate food there once and got food posioning. The place is really unhygenic and wonder it is allowed to sell food. |
|
| | United States |
| |
|
| ★★★ Food is pretty good. But I agree that resturaunt needs a good cleanup. Also he needs to expand the place.. its always packed with people and theres only like 5 tables! |

|
| ★★ The food is way to spicy and stays with you for a few days. The restaurant needs a good cleanup! |
|

|
| ★★★★ The food is OK but extremely unhygienic. The waiter brought very dirty glasses for water for us and there were spots of liptics and food on it. We asked him to change these glasses. He brought even dirtier glasses for us. I was very disappointed by the service. |

|
| ★★★★★ Their speciality is Tandoori chicken and it is fantastic, alhamdulillah. I have never been by the restaurant on an evening when it wasn't packed; albeit the place is small enough that it packs quickly! They've made a name for themselves in the local community so much so that the patronage is evenly split between Muslims and non-Muslims. |

| ★★★★ Pakistani restaurant serving kebabs and meat and vegetable curries and biryanis, and excellent tandoori rotis. Watch out: food is spicy. Very eclectic decor includes magenta, green and mirrors, as well as videos of Indian movies. Owner Saleem likes to socialize with customers, and has been known to give discounts for catering Islamic events. He used to make a fabulous ras malai but no longer does because he says there isn't enough demand. Maybe if enough people request it... |
