Great view, nice breeze if you’re overheated. Place was relaxed, food was great. Zack was able to suggest lots of spots in town to try next

I’d give it 10 stars if I could.

It is authentic Pakistani taste. LEGIT family owned and operated (the owner’s grandkids are often seen which is so sweet). I feel comfortable taking my baby there in her stroller as the temperature is perfect for her and they’re very kid friendly in case she has a meltdown.

Tastes like a feast in a Pakistani home. Which is like Indian taste but slightly better (in my honest opinion Pakistani taste and masalas are more flavorful)”. A Pakistani baji/aunty (who i think is the daughter in law of the owner) is the chef so it’s as authentic as it gets.

Their Nihari is second to none. I drive an hour from Pacifica to have it. Their chai (“milk tea”) is good too not overcooked at all which some establishments do.
Goat Paya is a delicacy of slow cooking mutton feet which isn’t attempted by many restaurants because of how time consuming and technical the dish is. They do it soo well.

Everything is halal. Highly highly recommended. They’ve been operating here for decades and have a fan base spanning years and years. And for good reason. They’re really sweet. Shout out to Hina baji who is the nicest server ever, she even remembered my order from when I used to come here with my pregnancy cravings!

BUT the best thing is that it is never too crowded that i cant find a seat. They always accept walkins. Prices are reasonable. Parking is easy to find too. Do try it!

I have been coming to this amazing restaurant for more than 15 years with my husband and friends. The food is authentic and consistently delicious. The best Pakistani food anywhere. We love the naan and chicken tikka masala and goat dishes just to mention a few. It’s a family run business that has been a staple of Berkeley. We know the staff who are just lovely and friendly and hard working. You won’t be disappointed so come try it.

Kabana has been my go to place for more than 15 years. It is absolutely authentic food made by the best Pakistani people I know. They cook it just the way they do at home and it is unbelievably delicious. They have the best naan, piping hot and doughy/Chewy! Delicious! Their goat dishes are out of this world, my favorite for sure.If you’re into chicken tikka masala, you will find no better than what they have Kabana. Don’t miss out on the chai. Milky good! Check this place out it hasn’t been around for 30+ years for nothing!

I went here on a recommendation from a Pakistani person. I was not disappointed. The food was top notch. The smell when you walk in the door would have your mouth watering with anticipation.
