I’ve been coming here for many years now and recently, it’s been remodeled. Not sure if there’s a new owner but I noticed there were new staff.
The dining area itself has been revamped. It looks lavish but sadly, the ambiance is not it. The music is way too loud for no reason and the light fixtures are too bright. A dining atmosphere should be quiet and somewhat dim.
The service itself was not the best. The waiters would not come by to check on us which was terrible whenever we needed assistance and they were too busy managing their dessert shop rather than attending to their dining customers.
I hope management sees this review and fixes both the lighting atmosphere and the music volume.
One last note: the logo itself does not match the interior design at all. The logo needs to reflect the new remodeling and I don’t mean just adding a medieval statue near the entrance or restroom.

Disappointing service. We visited around 8 PM, even though the restaurant closes at 9, and the staff clearly did not want to serve. As soon as we entered, we were told to sit on one side because the other side was “closing,” which made us feel rushed from the start. They also refused to serve certain sweets that were clearly visible on the front counter. Overall, the service was unwelcoming and felt like they just wanted us out quickly. The taste and quality have also gone downhill. Management really needs to review staff behavior and customer service standards.

This restaurant is very close to my home, so I go there every week. I don't have to wait long and I can enjoy a quiet meal alone.

Kabila had a rough time but as of August has been very good! Long time customers here with all of our family now loving the way they’ve rebranded and bringing out quality!
Keep it up.

Have tried their lunch buffet on numerous occasions. I would highly recommend the Fish Pakodas, which are always very good, especially when brought out fresh. The Punjabi Kadhi (not always on the menu) has also been very good. Have also liked the Lamb Curry sauce which goes really well with the Veg Biryani. Other appetizers have also been good.
The yogurt is typically fresh and creamy, with a home made natural quality. Often excellent. And the Gulab Jamun has never disappointed. Overall good to very good Punjabi fare and not overly spicy. With rare exceptions, the staff has been very friendly and helpful.

Good ambience, seating arrangement and seats are limited and uncomfortable. Expect this place like an extension to serve breakfast in typical hotel stay.Most food were prepared with extra level of salt, limited varieties.Plates were placed below knee level which is very uncomfortable for seniors and rest of the guests.

11/2/2025 Just had dinner at Kabila in Union City. I haven’t been there since the COVID days. I was pleasantly surprised. The restaurant has been beautifully redesigned. Looks brand new and felt special. The curries were perfectly cooked the way authentic Northern Indian curries are cooked with the right spices and ingredients. The breads were perfectly baked with the right crispiness. The dessert was also perfectly prepared and served at just the right temperature. We received very attentive, courteous and excellent service from our server Palak and her team! If you haven’t been to Kabila lately, you must visit this local gem for an outstanding dining experience.
Arparna, another great charming hostess, ever so nice, helpful and understanding of my special needs daughter. Always serving with a smile.

I came to Kabila Union City for their lunch buffet.
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. Remember, the goal is the food! :)

This is the highest quality Indian food I've ever had. From the beginning I really appreciate it when the owner told me that they did not cook with peanuts which is good because I'm allergic to peanuts. The style of this food is from North India. Just check the images they have everything you could possibly want everything from butter chicken tandoori chicken and then even fried fish and breaded pastries. Even the seasoned rice is fantastic. The best part... The entire buffet is only $17!!! Tell me another buffet for as good quality food in the Bay area maybe anywhere with the same price I'll wait. This is right across the street from my work and I'm going to go every weekend now.
