This place is made for a good lunchtime buffet. They have a really great selection of Indian food, and everything I tried was fresh and tasted really good. If I'm not mistaken, I believe the San Ramon location may have been sold to someone else. I recently tried the buffet under the new ownership, and honestly, it still looks very similar to the old buffet and the food still tastes great. I really enjoyed it. The service is also really good. It gets extremely busy during lunchtime, which tells you how popular this place is, but the staff does a good job keeping everything moving. If you're looking for a good Indian lunch buffet with plenty of choices, I would definitely recommend giving this place a try. Great food, good service, and a really enjoyable buffet! read more

First of all, Kabila changed their name to Reyasat Exquisite Indian Cuisine. We had a hard time looking for the place. I went inside to ask someone and they confirmed it was the same restaurant. My first impression: they are friendly and welcoming. The place is clean and area where you get the food is nicely set up, and I love their ceiling lighting. It's not too grand, but it gives the place a nice touch. Food: I have to say, everything I tried is quite good, but I have been to other buffet places that offers more dishes selections. I do have to say, this place cater to my taste buds, so I can picture myself coming back to this place real soon. I particularly love the Goat curry, butter chicken, Saag, Paneer, Chicken biryani and Tandori chicken. Their Chai tea compliments their meals and yummy desserts. Let's not forget the rice pudding like dessert at the end of the serving, buffet area. Overall, it's a complete meal. I'm definitely satisfied and we plan to go back. It really is an ideal place to go especially if you work around the area. I recommend you trying it for yourselves. You won't be disappointed. read more

We went here for the buffet. We had a large group and they were easily able to accommodate us. I tried the butter chicken, Shahi paneer, and fish pakora. It was ok, the chicken was a bit dry. Certainly not the best restaurant you'll ever eat at but also not the worst read more

Kabila - Butter Chicken and Fish Pakora - Indian Near Me - San Ramon, California

Kabila is an Indian restaurant located in Magnolia Square near the Danville Costco. They operate in the space next to See's Candies. I met my buddy George F. for lunch here on 12/01/2025. We walked in at around 12:30pm and were immediately seated by the staff. The interior was clean and well lit. Vibe was cozy and casual. Their lunch buffet featured more than a dozen classic meat and vegetarian options, plus salad, chai tea, and desserts. I tried most of their offerings and my favorites were the butter chicken and goat curry. Both were authentic and delicious. Service we received was good. The staff stopped by several times to drop off naan bread, clear used plates, and refill water. The total, with tax and tip, was about $42. I enjoyed my experience here, and will definitely return in the future. 4 stars. read more

There is a reason that I have been here ~4 times in the last month. And that is simply because it is delicious. They have a lunch buffet Monday - Fridays from 11:30 - 2:30 for $20. They also have Indian Sweets on the other side of the restaurant. Their prices are a bit lower than some of the other places in the area that I've seen, and they're so tasty that I haven't seen any reason to go anywhere else for my Indian food. Restaurant itself is large and spacious, with plenty of seating. It's been a good experience every time that I have gone, and I plan to continue going. read more

* foodie DEETS here * - review #201 I was initially brought here after fam came for a work lunch, but no buffet on Sats back then. We tried the Union City locay later, but that was much smaller & OG. Thereafter, we came back a couple of times to enjoy this spread. T L ; D R . . . AYCE lunch buffet, 11:30a-2:30p: $19 M-F & $25 wknds (since 4/2025) w/ more items incl pani puri, chaat, & lassi. Good variety of flavorful dishes, but minimal table service. Kept having to shoo flies away throughout my 1st meal, but not by the time I just returned 4.5 mos later. V I B E S . . . After passing their bakery next door, enter into this decent sized resto divided by long banquettes, accompanied by wooden tables & padded chairs. Host/cashier & bar on the left side w/ the buffet along the back wall. N O M S . . . Tried the following: - Karahi Goat | bone-in curry is the reason I go to Indian spots!! spicy tho - Butter Chix | alwaz my fav sauce anywhere - Tandoori Chix | dry - Fish Pakora | crispy df filets, fam's go-to. Mixed Veg avail. - several Veg dishes - Saag Paneer | sautéed spinach not alwaz avail, unfortunately - 3 kinds of Biryani Rice: plain, egg (best), veg (eh) - Cucumbers | old, soggy. I eat them w/ mint cilantro chutney. - Naan | bread basket fresh to table - no soup - Choc Barfi/Burfi | condensed milk squares. too bad they only put out 1 lil tray & wouldn't refill during my 1st visit. - Besan(?) & White Pistachio Barfi | Indian fudge squares, but not creamy. Rather, grainy. Still enjoyable tho some white ones were old. - Kheer | rice pudding, mid w/ lots of soft grains & seemingly less juice here D R I N K S . . . - Chai Tea | milky noms helps calm the spice & gives caffeine kick S E R V I C E , e t c . . . Chubby man is the most friendly. Others not too approachable esp the younger female who was a freakin "mute" hating her job. (Think she had long hair). We tried asked her for things 2-3x. She straight up says nothing in return & just walks away! Rude & unprofessional af. The last time, she eventually returned w/ a brief answer. Weird not to have a place to write a tip on the cc receipt. Guess they don't want any. Prob y they're the way they r. - Return? Def for my goat fix & the price - Restroom sitch (helps gauge resto's cleanliness): decent. 2 enclosed toilet rooms w/in the ladies' to blow up, which most newbs do when Indian curry shocks ur system. IYKYK, lol. - Out the door for 2ppl: 42. - Apple Pay: Yep, who doesn't these days? P.S. If u found what I spent time on to be of help, show this (Asian) sista some love by SMASHing a reaction & FOLLOWing me if u don't already!! ;-P Thx in advance & may there be more noms in our futures... read more

I went in hoping for a buffet and got exactly that! Great options for vegetarians and each dish I had was delicious. Had the butter chicken, paneer dish, tandoori chicken, chai, mango lassi, naan, and goat dish. Will be coming back when I'm in the east Bay Area. Service was quick when we needed naan and when we needed to be seated when we arrived. Besides that, it was ayce buffet. Beware of the hours but we came in 1 hr before close as all the items were still out and we were able to dine in. The place wasn't too crowded and the ambiance was great. I definitely recommend the place and will be returning! read more

Really enjoy the Indian cuisine served here. Specifically I love to go here for their weekday buffer lunches. It's reasonably priced and serves a variety of delicious Indian entrees. They also serve piping hot fresh naan bread when you ask for it. The servers are very friendly and always greet you with a warm welcoming smile. I recommend this restaurant if you are near San Ramon and craving for some delicious Indian cuisine. read more

Our favorite spot for authentic Punjabi Kadi and black daal without cream. Under new name now. The owner Mani is always accommodating and cooks out food with less oil, but makes it flavorful and healthy. We always end up eating too much. But it is always worth it! read more

Food was good and music was good too. Only drawback was they forgot to bring our vegetable biryani from the order we placed and bought it after 2-3 times reminder, so we had to pack it and take it home. read more

Food and sweets are delicious. We enjoyed the Saag paneer, beghan bhartha, and vegetable biriani. All was delicious. Service not prompt or attentive. I've experience this on my last two visits in 7 days. One was during an event and the other during a Diwali sweets Buffet. Perhaps dine-in is not the best options. The sequence of service is definitely compromised. Ambiance is pleasant. read more

Went to dine in recently and the staff were not friendly at all. No warmth no welcome no nothing. They looked like they hated working there. Ordered 2 orders lamb Punjabi and asked to swap the lamb for chicken for both orders (I've notice the lamb is too fatty and has bones and it's quite ahem pungent) . They messed up on one order but thankfully they were able to remove the messed up lamb Punjabi from our bill. It was a bit difficult conversing with some of the employees as we reiterated over and over that we want both without lamb. I understand that cultural barriers exist, but still. Employees were cold and stared at us weirdly - no apology for getting the order wrong. Felt like a hostile environment. I wanted to get out asap! Chicken Punjabi was still very oily. And the garlic naan was gummy. It could've been because I came close near closing, but still. Sadly, I will not be coming back here. read more

Wide variety of delicious foods. The hostess and server were very nice, accommodating, and expedient. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with lovely light fixtures and all of the buffet chafers are copper and gold adding to the regal splendor of the atmosphere. I absolutely loved it! read more

Happy New Year to you. I started my 2026 food journey today, trying a all-you-can-eat buffet right here in San Ramon. For a long time, the space sat empty after the Uncle Yu's kitchen fire. I didn't realize yesterday was Kabila's 5th anniversary. I havent had Indian cusine since 2020, and sadly many local restaurants closed soon after that. I joined a friend for lunch, but now I wished I didnt have an empty stomach or I would have ate more. We arrived a bit early so I had a few minutes to browse their confections counter. I was amazed and overwhelmed at the sweets especially the variety of Barfi. I will have to return to satisfy my sweettooth. The buffet was great. It was spacious, very elegant with a wide variety of about 25-items. I started with just some fresh condiments of fresh cucumber, tomatoes, onions and a white dressing like Tzatziki but I think this one is called Raita. I also tried the fried Pakora. My large plate always includes Basmati rice, but I also tried the Chicken and Veggie Biryani. Main dish items were Tandoori Chicken, Butter Chicken, Goat Curry, and Kadai Chicken. A gentleman brought a basket of Naan Bread. I finished my lunch with a piece of Besan Barfi and tea. Everything was great and after two plates, I was quite full so I didn't try any of the vegetarian dishes. Looks like I will have to do a return in the near future. Want to join me? read more

Service was poor. The wait person did not smile, was not attentive and came off as absent. The other tables were well attended to, just not our table. We ordered two appetizers; we got one. 20 minutes later, when we inquired about the 2nd one they said "It would be 5 minutes as they wanted to make it fresh". Versus not fresh? We finally got the appetizer with our entrees. The food was very, very spicy. The naan was subpar. We immediately felt sick when we got home. Will not return. read more

So happy to find an Indian buffet in Bay Area. Many restaurants stopped doing buffets once Covid hit. This one is located in the mall with Ulta as a main anchor. Plenty of seating and very clean inside. You are seated at a table and you can help yourself. Beyond the typical Indian rice, there are also chicken biryani and vegetable biryani. Chai tea and water are served and fresh naan bread is brought to your table. Refills of naan are given and kheer and fruits are available as desserts. read more

It's a good spot to try a variety of Indian food. The food itself weren't bad, really liked the butter chicken and Tabdoori fish - both had great flavors. I wish their salad bar was a bit more than just cucumber and onions. They only had one option for desserts. They do bring out fresh naan once you've been seated. Overall, decent spot - I'd definitely come back. They even have a bar there. read more

For $25, I expected a whole lot more from this buffet. As a vegetarian, I was appalled by the scarcity of options. Meanwhile, other restaurants are offering an incredible spread, complete with live dosa, fresh all veggies salads, fruit platters, and chaat. The lack of variety here is staggering, making this a disappointing and overpriced experience. Not recommended read more

I ordered to go today goat curry and buttered chicken. After waiting for 20 minutes, the guy with a big stomach handed me the food unprofessionally. The to go cup where my food were upside down.

Had good experience with chicken tikka masala and goat curry! Only complain is too much oil/greasy else it is really nice and tasty!

Was looking for a buffet in the area and found this place. Service was great. Was seated immediately with water and warm naan brought out. Plates were cleared promptly and water refilled. Buffet selection was good. Small salad section but that was not why I was there. Tandoori chicken was yum with some dark char areas the way I like it. There were several curries like chicken and veggie which were good but the goat curry had the most flavor! Price was about $20 which is about right for the area. Would definitely come back if I'm in the area. read more

Lunch buffet!! I researched around the area and this seems to be the only one left. I was so excited to check it out but I think they only offer on weekdays at $19. I was also as happy to find that they offer chai tea!! Although disappointing to find that the tea tastes watered down a bit. Also comes with a good portion of hot plain naan. Their buffet offering is wide ranged from tandoori chicken to samosas to goat curry. There is a good number of options as well which is amazing. They have two desserts, one looks almost like a caramel bar and the other is kheer. It is awesome that their service is great! They walk around pretty frequently to refill waters and take your plates. Nice ambiance, feels higher end with the large wooden tables and round back chairs. The space is very clean. The bathrooms need work, though. I was here on the earlier side for lunch and one of the bathroom stalls did not have toilet paper and the other just had a roll sitting on top of the roll holder. Love it! It wasn't super busy on a Monday for lunch. Looking forward to being back. read more

Kabila - Lunch weekday buffet - Indian Near Me - San Ramon, California

I was disappointed this time with Kabila. We especifícale ordered our butter chicken non spicy because it was for the kids but they still made it mild, making it impossible for the kids to eat it. I understand that Indian food is generally spicy but we have had Indian restaurants that do prepare some dishes non spicy. Not sure if Mild is the lowest level of spice but they could've let us know and I would've order something else for the kids. Also the chicken tikka masala was a bit disappointing. They use the same base as the butter chicken and it just doesn't taste authentic. read more

Food great here; been coming few years for lunch buffet. I find out today, you are only allowed one plate per lunch buffet. I hope I am missing something, but I called the restaurant and that was confirmed. read more

If you live nearby and haven't tried Kabila yet, go. Seriously. It's not fancy. You walk up to the counter, order, wait. There's usually one or two families eating inside, but not many. I've lived here a long time, and I almost never see white people there. Which is wild--because the food? It's incredible. Everything they make is so good. I get the malai kofta because I have to--I'm basically addicted to it. But I always make myself order something else too, and whatever it is, it just hits the spot. I've literally woken up wanting to eat it for breakfast. The dal is warm, comforting, and layered with flavor--like someone's grandma simmered it for hours... but then I'm just standing there like, 'Dal Tadka or Dal Makhani?'--because I can never decide, they're both so damn good. The samosas are packed with heat and flavor in all the right ways. It's the kind of food I crave when I'm hungry and want something real. And the people? They don't small talk. There's a communication barrier, yeah. But there's this one young woman who works there--probably around 20--who laughs at my weird jokes, picks up on my energy, and always makes me feel welcome. ***I hope someone's telling her how special she is!!!*** The guys mostly look at me like I'm a glitch in the simulation. Which, to be fair, I probably am. Bottom line: Kabila is low-key, no-frills, and absolutely worth it. This is real Indian food made by people who know exactly what they're doing. Don't sleep on it. read more

I came here for a weekday lunch buffet. The price for it is reasonable - not too cheap or overly expensive. I do miss Favorite Indian Buffet though if that's the correct name (they're no longer opened). So I came here to check out their lunch buffet. It has a very nice interior, it has a more modern feel to it. The stations for the food is also very nice, I think there's actually heaters underneath it like induction stoves, maybe? So the food is warm. I felt like there was a decent amount of options and lots of great food. I do wish they had some mango dessert or ice cream. I enjoyed the tandoor chicken but most of the dishes are great flavor. I do have to say no one refilled our water which I wish they did, so service may be lacking? But plenty of food to fill our hungry bellies! This is next to the Baskin Robbins, and the parking was easy since it was in a complex. read more

The recent visit was less than an enjoyable lunch for our family. We came in and was offered to be seated at a table that has not even cleaned from previous guests. We got up and seat ourselves to another section. Our water glass was a mere 6oz that we had to asked the waitstaff on multiple times to refill our water. There are larger glasses we saw that other guest. FYI - the lunch buffet no longer offers goat curry :(()- I was super sad about it. Feedback- Possibly consider leaving a water jug at table dining, it's service efficient. We left there feeling a bit unappreciated! Sad to say, we won't be coming back! read more

Dishonest Billing - Watch Your Credit Card! AVOID this place I dined at this restaurant and was charged $62.xx (including tax) for my meal. I left a 15% tip and the credit card payment was authorized successfully at that amount. However, when I received my credit card statement, I was shocked to see the restaurant had charged me $133.xx -- more than double the original amount! I immediately called the restaurant to clarify the charge. The manager casually blamed it on a "new employee" making a mistake. There was no apology, just a ridiculous offer of store credit -- as if I'd ever go back! They were just brushing me off and taking no responsibility. After back-and-forth, the restaurant finally agreed to refund the overcharge. However, more than 24 hours later, there's still no refund back to my credit card. When I followed up again, I was told there was a "system issue" preventing them from processing the refund -- what a lie lie lie !!! At this point, I had no choice but to dispute the charge with my credit card company. This was not an honest mistake -- it reflects a deceitful practice. The staff appears to take advantage of customers who don't closely check their statements, while management unethically protects this behavior instead of taking responsibility and addressing it properly. WARNING: Always double-check your receipt and your credit card statement if you choose to eat here. Better yet, AVOID this place entirely. A business that handles customer money this carelessly -- and unethically -- does not deserve your trust. read more

A very nice and comfortable place to have good Indian food...
