If you live nearby and haven't tried Kabila yet, go. Seriously. It's not fancy. You walk up to the counter, order, wait. There's usually one or two families eating inside, but not many. I've lived here a long time, and I almost never see white people there. Which is wild--because the food? It's incredible. Everything they make is so good. I get the malai kofta because I have to--I'm basically addicted to it. But I always make myself order something else too, and whatever it is, it just hits the spot. I've literally woken up wanting to eat it for breakfast. The dal is warm, comforting, and layered with flavor--like someone's grandma simmered it for hours... but then I'm just standing there like, 'Dal Tadka or Dal Makhani?'--because I can never decide, they're both so damn good. The samosas are packed with heat and flavor in all the right ways. It's the kind of food I crave when I'm hungry and want something real. And the people? They don't small talk. There's a communication barrier, yeah. But there's this one young woman who works there--probably around 20--who laughs at my weird jokes, picks up on my energy, and always makes me feel welcome. ***I hope someone's telling her how special she is!!!*** The guys mostly look at me like I'm a glitch in the simulation. Which, to be fair, I probably am. Bottom line: Kabila is low-key, no-frills, and absolutely worth it. This is real Indian food made by people who know exactly what they're doing. Don't sleep on it.

It's a good spot to try a variety of Indian food. The food itself weren't bad, really liked the butter chicken and Tabdoori fish - both had great flavors. I wish their salad bar was a bit more than just cucumber and onions. They only had one option for desserts. They do bring out fresh naan once you've been seated. Overall, decent spot - I'd definitely come back. They even have a bar there.

Great buffet options, two different biryani options, as well as goat, chicken, and veg curries. Naan is served hot at the table. Kind service. Clean restaurant. Will visit again.

Everything was flavorful and delicious. Sunday night wasn't too busy and food came out quickly. It's hard to pick my favorite, but the family's favorites were the tandoori fish and the chicken biriyani.

Spacious bright space and friendly server Good spot to stop after our Costco run 2 veggie entrees + naan was more than we needed for lunch. Decent renditions A tad spicy for this no- spice girl but manageable

I came here for a weekday lunch buffet. The price for it is reasonable - not too cheap or overly expensive. I do miss Favorite Indian Buffet though if that's the correct name (they're no longer opened). So I came here to check out their lunch buffet. It has a very nice interior, it has a more modern feel to it. The stations for the food is also very nice, I think there's actually heaters underneath it like induction stoves, maybe? So the food is warm. I felt like there was a decent amount of options and lots of great food. I do wish they had some mango dessert or ice cream. I enjoyed the tandoor chicken but most of the dishes are great flavor. I do have to say no one refilled our water which I wish they did, so service may be lacking? But plenty of food to fill our hungry bellies! This is next to the Baskin Robbins, and the parking was easy since it was in a complex.
