While looking for a breakfast spot in the area, we came across Breakfast Kitchen & More on Google Maps. However, upon arriving, we discovered it was actually Kabob Cafe & Grill a bit surprising, as we had expected a new breakfast restaurant. From the menu, we ordered the Kids Banana Waffle, Signature Protein Bowl, and Veggie Omelette. The service was average. The Veggie Omelette and Kids Banana Waffle were both fresh, flavorful, and a satisfying start to the day. Overall, a decent breakfast experience. read more

This place is in the former Tessa Sweet Cafe and old Sukhothai across the street from the AMC Highwoods 20 Theater. This is a Pakistani restaurant with meat curries, veg curries, kabobs, biryani and some appetizers/desserts. They have a weekend buffet from 11 am to 3:30 pm (Saturday/Sunday) ($20 -25 from what other people have posted) Pros: Clean location and nice customer service. You go to the counter to order. I ordered Chicken Biryani and a soda there The biryani was hot and fresh. ($16) It had a decent amount of boneless chicken too. The amount was good and I had enough for a second smaller serving for lunch. Im very "Goldilocks" about biryani in New Tampa. Ruchi (gas station) barely has meat. Taaza puts drumsticks instead of boneless meat. Taj is $18 and is a tiny portion. The state of Indian/Pakistani restaurants has gone down after COVID. Open Sundays with adequate parking Cons No tandoori chicken on the a la carte menu and no fish/shrimp dishes (Apparently Tandoori is on the weekend buffet) Overall: This is one of the better places to get biryani in New Tampa. read more

Kabob Cafe & Grill - Chicken Biryani ($16) - Halal Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Delicious! We had chicken malai tikka kebab and chicken tikka masala with an order of garlic Naan bread. You order at the register and they bring the food to your table. Staff was nice and explained the dishes. It was a dressed-up take-out but eat-in feel. Very yummy! read more

The weekend buffet from 11-3pm was a hit. The food was well prepared and delicious. Tandoori chicken grilled in a clay oven and topped with the fluffy bread along with rice and chicken biryani leaves no room for anything but compliments. Chai was perfectly brewed. I just wish they had more salads but I am not complaining. The family owners were always available to answer questions and continuously refilling the foods. Very pleasant and gives a feeling like you are their house guests. Desert was simple gulab jam and milk-rice or noodles. A simple no frills setup adds to the relaxed atmosphere. Week days they serve an extensive menu and they have daily American breakfast. A gem that deserves more visits. read more

Probably the best Tandoori Chicken Tikka I've had! Great customer service as well! I would definitely recommend.

Ordered about seven dishes and ended up having spoiled and uncooked food. the masala on kebab was raw uncooked needed more time on the tandoor. Seekh kabab lamb was slimy inside spoiled within 2 hrs. Naan was elastic and chewy. I would never order from this place. read more

As visitors from Charlotte, we were absolutely delighted to discover in Tampa. We don't have Pakistani food of this quality back home, and the flavors here were so incredible, they truly brought back memories of real Pakistani cuisine (it felt like a taste of home!). It is clearly a family-owned business, and the owners took such good care of us--their hospitality was warm, attentive, and made the whole experience wonderful. We highly recommend Tamla to anyone looking for authentic, delicious food and a welcoming atmosphere. We will definitely be visiting again, God willing (IA)! read more

Very very tasty restraunt. Medium recommend because they had a small bowl for $20 or something but was very tasty. Will come again. The customer service was awesome though the food took a little long to come. Wasn't very crowded around 3-4 PM read more

Well this was a pleasant surprise‼ Excellent authentic Indian food. We were first for the day and everything was fresh and tasty. Super nice couple running the cafe. They were getting lots of takeout orders by phone and by walk in. Worth a stop. Thank you for the excellent lunch. read more

This restaurant is also "Breakfast Kitchen" in the mornings. Went today and had a butter chicken wrap and butter chicken over grits. Both tasted great. Very unique menu items. The environment is cozy and welcoming. The waitress was very nice, answered all of our questions, and came by several times. Great place to try out! read more

I crave Indian food often, and left more than satisfied after dining at Kabob Cafe & Grill! Upon entering the door, we were greeted with a welcome and bright smile from the gentleman working. I got the full portion of butter chicken, as it's my usual, which included rice. My mom got chicken korma and we added 2 orders of garlic naan. The gentleman brought a large bottle of cold water and utensils to our table shortly after ordering. The wait was not long at all, because before we knew it our food was brought out. The butter chicken was bursting with flavor and had a little spiciness to it which I appreciated even more. What I love most was there was a good amount of chicken portioned in the sauce. Many Indian restaurants I have been to give you so much sauce but hardly 4 cubes of chicken. It was a lovely surprise to see they gave proper portions of chicken to sauce here. The garlic on the naan tasted freshly minced and was generously spread on the naan. If I come down to visit again, I'll be sure to come back! read more

Hidden Gem! Clean and cozy restaurant. Food and service is top notch! Recommend to try you won't be disappointed!

"Clean restaurant, very delicious authentic Pakistan food excellent customer service and staff"

The food was ok but wayyyy too spicy, even though I asked them to make the mildest version. I couldn't stomach more than 2-3 bites. Can't even imagine how spicy the non-mild food is lol. If you enjoy spicy food, this is a good spot. If you're like me and prefer butter chicken that's not spicy at all, then skip this place. Also, unfortunately the white rice tasted old and stale. read more

Became very ill with food poisoning after ordering take out at this restaurant. Very disappointed in the quality of food. The naan was like cardboard. Had high hopes, unfortunately will not be returning. read more

If you're in the mood for authentic Pakistani cuisine, Kabob Grill is the answer. Every dish I've tried has been phenomenal. The weekend buffet is my favorite! There are so many dishes to choose from. The dessert and chai are the perfect ending to the meal. I always leave Kabob Grill with a satisfied belly and a craving throughout the week. The service is excellent and there are plenty of tables if you want to bring the whole family. Also, you can't beat the buffet price of $20 pp. If you love flavorful, authentic food, this place will quickly become a favorite! read more

We have tried many restaurants with Indian Cuisine in the area and often leave underwhelmed. Kabob Cafe and Grill was an amazing find. They had a buffet for 19.99! This was the best Indian Cuisine we have had in the Tampa area. HANDS DOWN. Chicken Tikka was amazing. I ate so much Butter Chicken I'm not sure I will have anything for dinner later. The Naan was PERFECTION! It's not often you stumble upon a place that will be a new favorite. THIS IS THE INDIAN CUISINE YOU HAVE BEEN DREAMING ABOUT. So happy I started off my Saturday here. read more

Sweeetest people you'll ever meet and their chicken wrap is to live for. Loved it!!!!

Kabob Cafe and Grill is a hidden gem for Pakistani food lovers. The place is small and hidden, but don't let that fool you. They have delicious, authentic Pakistani cuisine. The place is clean and the service is good and the staff are friendly. We went to the weekend lunch buffet and the place was packed. Despite being busy, they were quick to refill the food and clean the tables. Huma assisted us and she was very friendly and helpful. We will be back and they do catering too! read more

Great food and lovely small family restaurant feel. The food was flavorful and prepared with lots of care.

Good authentic Pakistani food, the restaurant is very clean and very hospitable owners, a must try.

From start to finish, everything was amazing!!! The moment we walked in the door, we were greeted with a sleek, quiet, and beautiful atmosphere before being introduced to the manager, a humble man who loves his business. With his wife as the head chef you can truly feel the love in this cuisine. We had the Goat Karahi and the Lamb Seekh Kabobs, which were absolutely perfect, with customizable spice level. If there is any restaurant to recommend in in USF-Tampa area, this is it! read more
