Above and Beyond Service! We accidentally placed our food order at the wrong Kabilla location and needed it at the Union City location. It was my mom's birthday, we were in a rush, and unfortunately we didn't notice the location when placing the order. Both managers at the location were incredibly kind and helpful. They went above and beyond to help us resolve the situation and took away so much of the stress during an already hectic day. Thank you so much for your understanding, patience, and amazing customer service. You truly made a difference on my mom's special day! read more

Kabila never disappoints! Whenever we're in the mood for Indian food and want a place that's consistently good, Kabila is always a safe choice. This time, I tried Chicken Do Pyaza for the first time. Surprisingly, I couldn't find any photos of it on Yelp, but I decided to give it a try, and I'm so glad I did. It turned out to be an excellent choice. I personally prefer dishes that have some texture rather than just a smooth gravy, and this dish delivered exactly that. The combination of flavorful gravy, onions, and other ingredients created a wonderful texture and made every bite enjoyable. Of course, we also ordered their dal, which is always delicious, comforting, and full of flavor. And no meal at Kabila is complete without their gulab jamun. It's one of their standout desserts and always hits the spot. Overall, another great meal. Consistently tasty food, generous flavors, and dishes that keep us coming back. Highly recommend read more

I have frequently tried their lunch buffet. Among the items I usually enjoy are the pakodas (fish/vegetable), their kadhi and malai kofta (when available), and the lamb curry (though I find only the smaller pieces are cooked well enough for me. Their dahi/raita can be very good, and their desserts (especially the Gulab Jamun) can be good. The rice is fairly good too. In general, the appetizers are always good if eaten while still warm-hot. I also like that they do not use excess chilies to season their food, though sometimes, their vegetarian dishes could use a little more salt. Service has generally been very friendly. read more

I've had this Indian restaurant bookmarked for a while, so when the craving hit, I finally ordered delivery through DoorDash--and wow, worth the wait. First off, everything arrived piping hot and packaged really well (major bonus points). I was pleasantly surprised to see branded containers, which already felt like a sign they take pride in what they do. The garlic naan tasted fresh, soft, and packed with flavor--no sad, dry naan here. I ordered two different chicken curries. I was in the mood for something along the lines of butter chicken, and while they didn't have it listed exactly, they did have chicken makhni... and let me tell you, it absolutely delivered. Rich, flavorful, and simply delicious. The second curry had more heat, and I loved it just as much--spicy without sacrificing flavor (a rare and beautiful balance). Fremont is overflowing with Indian restaurants, but finding a really good one can be surprisingly tough. This place checked all the boxes and then some. Safe to say, this won't be my last order. read more

Food is very good and staff are friendly, however it's newly renovated restaurant and it's very elegant, but it needs a lot of attention before sitting the customer. Please clean the floor and table, bathroom is also newly renovated and it also need cleaning and fill up more supplies. read more

Kabila Union City offers a great selection of your favorite Indian food at their lunch buffet. I had to check it out after getting recommendations about this place. They have recently gotten remodeled and the inside looks amazing. The lighting and the bakery in the front shouts quality and the seats look modern while the leather cushions were firm. Lunch buffet - 5 / 5 They have your typical Indian favorites like tandoori chicken and chicken masala. Did I mention that they've also got lamb in the mix too? I got to say that the lamb, boy they were so good! They were definitely a crowd favorite as people were definitely digging into them whenever new batches are being brought out. Besides a salad bar, they've got some fruits and small Indian treats on top of your household Indian milk tea, boy it's a feast I tell ya! The regular naan comes with your buffet price but if you want the garlic type, you got to pay extra. Ya! :( The service is meh....It took talking to two waiters to get my water but I wasn't coming here for the service anyway. It sucked but I can live with it, lol. Missing your Indian buffets? Give this spot a try. I liked it quite a bit and I think if service is not priority for you, you'll like it too. Oh yea, no tip is needed when the bill came! read more

Kabila-Union City - Sample plate from the lunch buffet - Indian Near Me - Union City, California

Yummy quality Indian buffet with a great selection of options for a reasonable price. I came to dine by myself on a Thursday during lunchtime. When I arrived the place was completely empty but quickly filled up as I was finishing up my meal. The options are plentiful (a salad bar, sauce bar, at least 3-4 curry options both meat and vegetarian, a bunch of fried dishes, and lots of dessert options). I appreciated the quality of all of the dishes. The buffet also comes with plain naan or specialty naan options for an extra cost. I tried the garlic naan which was fresh and flaky. I also ordered samosas on the side which didn't disappoint. It's not the best Indian buffet I've been to but definitely hits the spot when I'm craving Indian food. Service is also around the clock even though there's only two servers helping the patrons. No complaints. Overall, I recommend checking this place out. read more

The consensus on most of the reviews you'll read on this page is that while the food can be good, the service leaves plenty to be desired. I had the same experience, and unfortunately, the latter outweighed the former. We placed a phone order for 25 samosas at about 2:30PM, specifying pickup at 5:00PM. We intentionally gave an earlier pickup time than we needed, and arrived at 5:45PM. The cashier had us pay, went to the kitchen, and came back looking panicked, telling us it would be 10 minutes. We were taking these for an event that we had to be on time for, so we just asked for a refund, but they argued with us and tried to convince us to wait (it definitely would have been longer than 10 minutes for that quantity). I understand that mistakes happen, but the appropriate response should be to inform us before taking our money, and definitely not argue when we request a refund. Giving two stars to be fair since we have gotten their food a few times and it was solid. read more

Went for their lunch buffet on a Saturday around 12:30pm and was seated immediately. Not too busy. $18 and included regular naan (other breads extra) and Chai tea. There was a nice variety of food: vegetable, goat, chicken curries, dal, variety of fried foods, fresh vegetables and fruits. The food was pretty decent overall. The best dishes were the tandoori chicken and chicken tikka masala, chicken are all very juicy and tender. Not the most comprehensive Indian buffet offering I've had at a similar price, I've had better. Medium sized, clean, spacious restaurant. Decent service. Shared parking lot and street parking read more

Been here a couple times. I'm a basic guy so only order the same stuff. Chicken Tikka masala 5/5 I order minimal spiciness which they can deliver. The chicken is very tender and the flavor is very good. Garlic naan 4/5 Good but could be bigger/more Tandoori Chicken 5/5 The chicken is very very tender. They do a great job. Ive only been for dine in once for dinner and it was a normal basic restaurant. Nothing fancy. read more

I really wanted to like Kabila in Union City, but the meal didn't land for me. The garlic naan was the biggest letdown. It didn't even look like it was made in a tandoor. It came out flat and heavy, with barely any garlic flavor, and felt more like something reheated than freshly baked. A real disappointment, and I ended up skipping most of it. The kadahi chicken was okay. Warm spices, decent heat, and a familiar comfort to the sauce, but nothing that made me want to come back for it. It felt like a dish that could have been great with a little more care. read more

Kabila restaurant is one of our favorite food, especially in all our celebration. The foods are very aromatic smells. We always orders the chicken masala, fish, rice , bread , samosa, for their desserts Is very well blended flavor especially when u drink their chai tea. The owner are very family oriented people . They always welcome u with the smiles . The place is very inviting to eat as a family. We will always come back here . read more

I ordered samosas to be picked up at 3:40 and I'm still waiting in the parking lot and still not ready. I would never recommend this business ever again and I will not give my money to you guys. I don't even know how you guys stay open with the terrible service. I hope the city shuts you guys down because you guys suck at getting orders on time and I will be taking this matter read more

Best indian resturant ever! Been going here since I was a kid with my parents and its been about 15 years since I've been back and It's safe to say they've kept the same great quality of food! Amazing food and at such a great price point as well! Also, not to mention they don't accept tip!!! Saw some other reviews complaining about the service or discriminatory behavior but saw none of that. Service was fast and efficient, and it was so diverse! Saw many different races eating inside and being east-Asian I did not feel out of place at all as mentioned by other reviews! Would definitely recommend anyone to check out this place! read more

Kabila-Union City - Indian buffet first plate! - Indian Near Me - Union City, California

I came back again because I was recommended this place yet again by another Indian friend. Food-wise they have definitely redeemed themselves, but the wait to get our food was still incredibly long. I'd say about half an hour. At least this time all the food came out fresh and piping hot! My mom and I tried a bunch of items and I have to say the flavors were all so good. The meat in the goat curry and chicken tikka masala were super tender. Everything was really flavorful. I really have no complaints when it comes to the food aside from everything being slightly on the oily side. But that's what makes it good! I think they just have a lot of organizational issues. Workers honestly seemed confused and untrained. We received our bill to sign but were not given a pen. Then when we took a closer look at the bill, there wasn't even any spots to write for tip. We were not checked on throughout. Overall, terrible service but great food. The place itself looks much better than when I visited back then. Brightly lit, spacious, and clean! read more

I always ordered Online and buy Lamb Biryani and among other stuff, Here at Kabila. Today 10/03/2025 I ordered online around 8:39pm I received a receipt indicating takes 20-25 Minutes for order to process. I arrive at 9:13pm at Kabila to pick up my order the place was newly renovated with glass door. I went to talk to Cashier a young lady and showed no customer skills at all, she was talking to a coworker completely ignoring me while I'm standing in front of her, then she look at me I told her I'm picking up my order then she did other things going inside the kitchen hiding from me. There was other worker there counting money also ignoring me. Then an Indian Customer comes in and the worker counting money entertains the Indian Customer. From there I understood that this workers are racist towards none Indian. I am not Indian I was standing there waiting for my paid online order but no one is even talking to me and the Cashier just hiding from me. At this point I understand what's happening so I decided to leave. I never felt so discriminated in my life. read more

Ordered to go from here and the food was ready immediately. The portions were huge and Dal Makhni had a medium thickness to it and has a good flavor but could use a bit more spice as it tasted a bit off by itself. We made wagyu beef and added it to the soup which made it taste a lot better. The maharaja naan was delicious; the portion was huge and was super flavorful with the nuts, coconut, and cherries. I would like to try one of their curries next time! read more

I've been coming to this restaurant for over a year now, and I sincerely believe Harman's service is exceptional. He always treats everyone with kindness, respect, and a very positive attitude, making each customer feel welcome and comfortable. I think this place deserves an excellent reputation, not only for the quality and deliciousness of the food, but also for the pleasant atmosphere created by the outstanding customer service. Harman's attention makes a huge difference and is one of the reasons why many people, including myself, keep coming back to enjoy this place. His dedication, professionalism, and the way he treats customers reflect the great value he brings to the restaurant. I think it's important to acknowledge his excellent work and the positive impact he has on the experience of every person who visits this restaurant. read more

So menu looked delicious. Hours are posted for 11:00. Perfect timing I can have a delicious lunch! Went in side asked for table for 1. The gentleman was going to seat me. A lady interrupted him and told me they don't open till 11:30? Curious! Why? Were the hours posted wrong? If so please update! If not what other reason? It was very rude!! I was a little stunned by how she spoke to me. Like she didn't want me there? Did this person not like something about the way I looked? I was very polite, friendly and had money to spend. I was even thinking I would love to buy a bunch of the pastries to bring back to my friends. I smiled and told her I will have to eat somewhere else! Then I walked out and went right across the street to Chaplins! I had an amazing lunch with the shrimp quesadilla with chipotle cream. Includes pico de gallo and sour cream and guacamole. Staff was friendly and inviting. Thank you Kabila! For leading me to an amazing lunch and saving me from your probably terrible food! read more

Kabila restaurant at Union City , was famous for its pastry as well as its buffet. Its sweets, candies and pastry are among the best of its genre in the Bay area. There are few buffets of Indian cuisine in East Bay area, but Kabila Union City offers delicious Chicken Tendori, savory fried fish as well as desirable bean sauces including Carbonza beans, Lentil beans.

Came here really hungry after a massage and got my food to-go. This is not my first time here... and I feel like something has changed with the flavors. My lamb biryani and goat karahi tasted different than I remember it. Both were less spicy, which is actually good for me as I have weak tolerance for spicy food. But the flavor was also not there... it leaves much to be desired. I am unsure if it could have been better if I ate it at the restaurant... but my next destination was close by so I was able to eat it warm without microwaving it. read more

Used to come here a lot. Used to be really good. The food rarely tasted old. Now it doesn't ever seem fresh. Came today to spend time with the family. The table they sat me at was dirty. I waited a while before they took my order, about 10 minutes. I waited for 30 minutes watching others after me get their food first before I asked the waitress what's taking so long for mine specifically. She said don't worry it's coming its coming. Next thing I know, my chicken Tika comes out, then few minutes later my samosa, then my fish, then few minutes the tandoori chicken. Cool, every few minutes something comes out. Great. Where's my rice. Where's my Naan! I got seated at 2:45. It's now 4:15. I ask the lady, "I just asked for my Naan. Is the rice going to come?". At this point the rest of the entrees are cold. I don't even want the rice or Naan anymore. I remain patient with them as this lady comes out asking if I still want it. It'll be five more minutes. What am I going to do with rice at this point. I finally go to the counter and some guy comes out, maybe manager I don't know. He says let me comp the meal. I said it's not about the comp, it's about the time wasted. My quality time with my family. To his defense, he still said "let me at least take off the rice". He rings me up. I look at the bill. THE RICE IS STILL ON THERE! read more

This review is for the lunch buffet. We've been in search of a new Indian buffet ever since we had a poor experience at Favorite Indian and Kabila is right down the street from us. We were pleasantly surprised at this little hole in the wall. Rating Breakdown: 1.5/2 Stars for Taste -- The buffet comes with the classics -- butter chicken, goat curry, vegetable curries (chana masala, malai kofta, paneer masala, etc.), saag, tandoori chicken, and pakoras. The flavor profile tends toward more mild and sweet, less spicy. My husband wasn't a huge fan of their butter chicken but we both agreed that for the price, we weren't complaining. I was impressed with the fish pakora, it was lightly battered and kept coming out in piping hot batches. My husband thought the fish was a bit salty, but I didn't mind it. The tandoori chicken was surprisingly juicy and I appreciated that they cut it into smaller pieces so it's less of a stomach space commitment. There's plain naan but for $1 more, you can upgrade to garlic naan. It's hard to resist these fluffy white pillows when they're brought fresh to your table, don't burn your fingers! The chai was on the blander side but typical for a buffet. I loved the gulab jamun, but I would pass on the kheer next time because it was a bit more on the mushy side. My company caters from here from time to time and I'm a big fan of their long grain rice. The Asian in me loves the chew of the individual kernels. I prefer their chicken tikka masala to their butter chicken. Their samosas are also on point. 1/1 Stars for Value -- It was $17.99 for the lunch buffet without any add ons. That price is pretty hard to beat these days. There were plenty of people there for the buffet but also many people were ordering a la carte. Since their entrees are usually about $18 and an additional $4.5 for rice/naan, we figured it was worth it to just get the buffet for the sake of variety. 1/1 Stars for Customer Service -- I set my expectations low because of the lukewarm reviews, but this place exceeded them. We arrived around 1pm on a Friday and they kept refilling the buffet even when we were ready to leave. Because it's such a small space, it was easy to flag down a server at any time to request refills. Bonus star because it's close, convenient, and cost-effective. I already have plans to bring my sister next time. read more

We went there for dinner and had a really great experience. We ordered fish pakora and seekh kebab with garlic naan and paratha. Everything was piping hot and delicious, perfect with chilled beer. Palak was our hostess and did a wonderful job. Very attentive and the food was paced perfectly. We will definitely be back, especially since the plan is to introduce beers on tap read more

Amazing samosas. We also got the chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, and the garlic naan. Samosas are always a winner in my mind comes with a red and green sauce, a must when you have them. The tikka masala was very yummy and the piping hot fresh garlic naan was fluffy. Goes great with both the tikka and butter chicken. Both chicken dishes cooked tender and not dried out at all. A very fulfilling meal. Need to come back and try their lunch buffet. read more

We visited this place and tried the imarti, klaakand, and balushahi. The sweets were fresh and tasted good, especially the imarti which was not crispy and nicely sweet.

Overall, it's a good place to try if you enjoy traditional Indian sweets and snacks. read more

I've been looking for a good Indian buffet for a long time, and I think this one was really great especially for such reasonable prices at about $18-$19 per person. The food was amazing and absolutely delicious. I love spicy dishes, but I also noticed that many people don't, so I really appreciated how they had chilies, onions, and other toppings on the side. That felt thoughtful and helpful, letting everyone customize their meal to their taste. Everything tasted fresh and full of flavor, and to top it all off, the gulab jamun was literally melting in my mouth so good! I truly loved the food and the overall experience. I will definitely be coming back and would recommend this place to anyone looking for a tasty, affordable Indian buffet. read more

Recently on December 15, 2025 we went to eat lunch at Kabila restaurant in Union City and had a bad experience. 1. The place was too cold and upon mentioning about the place was too cold the owner said that hearing system is not working and they have called the maintenance guy to fix it. 2. Their main door was open and some construction work was going on making loud noises from the heavy duty machines which was very annoying. 3. About their lunch buffet the food was cold in the chaffers and also there was not much dishes choices. There was no palak paneer and no fried vegetables like bhindi or gobhi or mixed vegetables. There was only chhole and daal. Naan was not made properly and was readymade heated naan which didn't taste like a naan Overall the entire lunch experience was awful. At the time of bill payment mentioned all the above complaints he offered discount of $1.50 per buffet meal. ETH! I would never again go to this restaurant very bad experience! read more

We ate at the much improved Kabila restaurant yesterday. They have recently gone through a beautiful major remodel. The restaurant interior is elegant and welcoming. We went for dinner and tried Bhinidi masala, chicken Karhai and kadi pakora for entrees. Also got plain naan and rice pulao. Everything was spot on, fresh, piping hot and delicious. Our server was very attentive and polite. Overall, a great experience! We will be returning soon to try more items on their menu! Oh..their Samosas and chutney are too good! Do not misss....!Bravo to the management for the recent changes and quality of food... just one constructive criticism...although the bathroom was clean..perhaps the management will consider updating it as well..mostly to bring it upto par with the restaurant... read more

I've never been to Kabila and have been disappointed. Their sweets are amazing and fresh. (Best part - they let you try the sweets). Their Somosas are the best I've EVER had! Naan is also freshly made. The only thing is, if you're doing a take out, order ahead of time. The wait time can be long. read more
