Driving on the busy McKnight road, you cannot miss the sign so after driving passed by a couple of times stopped by on a Saturday morning and tried their weekend brunch. We got there when they opened so had the place to ourselves but by the time, we were heading out, it was starting to hop. The ambiance is cozy and has nice wall decor and ample parking and seating space. The inside was clean. Now onto the food itself. It seemed more authentic compared to multiple other Pakistani-Indian restaurants that I have tried. It was not spicy but had a lot of flavor! There were some dishes that I have not seen at other places and hence have not been able to try for a long time. Whenever I am in this area next time, will make a point to stop here as would like to try some items off the ala-carte menu.

Kabab King is a Pakistani and Indian restaurant. Its menu lists foods such as samosa chat, falafel, beef seekh kabab, tandoori chicken, goat biryani, lamb vindaloo, saag paneer, and kheer. Prices are reasonable. For a few years, I have eaten this restaurant's food for dining in, takeout, and delivery. The restaurant has plenty of seating, and the buffet offers a decent selection of flavorful foods. For my most recent purchase, I ordered food through GrubHub. The food was prepared quickly. My husband and I enjoyed our chicken tikka masala (tailored to our preferred level of spiciness), our mixed vegetables (spicy), our rice (spicy), and our garlic naan. This restaurant is not my favorite for this type of cuisine, but it is solidly good, and I will continue to be a customer in the future.

Absolutely love this place. I've had the falafel and the saag paneer and both are fantastic. The mango lassis are really good too. They always have a parking spot and a table available and the staff are very friendly. Highly recommend.

I always pass this establishment and see it packed or empty. It was completely empty on a Saturday night when we arrived; as such, we were skeptical of the experience but kept an open mind in the spirit of supporting local. The waitress Daisy was a sweetheart & took our order immediately. We had the butter chicken & tikka masala, with traditional and garlic naan. We ordered it mild in terms of heat. The food came promptly; the chicken dishes were decent, with a solid amount of chicken & sauce which could definitely be used for leftovers. The sauce flavor was 3.5/5-not the best but not the worst. I have had better Indian, but my hot date loved it. Bring cash for tipping since you can't tip using card. The mango lassi was delicious, fresh & creamy.

The buffet is definitely worth coming here for. You get a lot of yummy foods and the mango lassi is delicious. The owner also is a very nice man! I think this restaurant deserves a lot more business than it does. However, the one time I came many months back, I ordered the tikka masala as an entree and was a little disappointed in the flavor. However, returning now, I was very impressed. The tandoori chicken I had was super tender and juicy which is not always the case. This impressed me! To be safe, I would definitely come on the weekends to have the buffet. I can't emphasize the great vibes I get from the owner enough :) Come support this place!!
