As someone who has never experienced Pakistani food before, this has set the bar very high for other places serving the same food. I went with a few friends and we ordered the Beef Kebab, Ginger Chicken Curry, and the Chicken Biryani. The beef kebabs came with an order of naan bread (one per order of kebabs) and on a bed of onions which were sizzling on a skillet, the ginger chicken was large, tons of chicken and enough to feed three hungry adults, the chicken biryani came piled high, very warm and soft. The staff were very professional and extremely welcoming. Overall I would highly recommend you come here if you have yet to experience the absolute delight of which is Pakistani food. If I could rate this restaurant higher I most certainly would!
Honestly, I have only ever really go their kebab lunch special but god dang is it super tasty and good bang for your buck! About $11 gets you two kebabs on a hot plate with sizzling onions, rice, naan, salad and a pop.
I go here at least once a month!
Busy restaurant. Good service. Had butter chicken and mix platter ( fish. Kebob and chicken). Came out piping hot and tasted awesome. Came with side salad. Will be back for sure to try other items.
Not a fancy place but great food. The kadhai mutton was lip smacking delicious! The Afghani kabab was succulent and so flavourful! Biryani was good as well! Will definitely come back!!
Love this place. The chicken tikka and sheik kebab are my favourites. They must have read the service reviews because there was a very pleasant and attentive waiter tonight even though it was super busy. Been coming for years and will keep coming!
The food here is some of the best Pakistani cuisine in Calgary. Service sucks. They are usually short staffed and the servers seem very busy, check up on you infrequently, and often forget items (once we got a pitcher of water but no glasses).
My family and I love their kababs, biryani, and some random curries. The prices are reasonable for how much food you get, and the food usually tastes fresh and flavourful.
This is definitely a hole in the wall, though, as seating isn't all too fancy and the restaurant itself is quite cramped. Go for the food or try takeout!
Okay this is no fine dinning, a hole in the wall with great food. The service is pretty terrible but the food surely makes up for it.
Recommendations:
- Chicken and beef sheek kebab
- chicken curry
- MANGO MILKSHAKE (yum)
- Naam
Probably one of the better Pakistani cuisines in Calgary (ignoring the location & the interior). Go here simply for the food, don't expect anything fancy. Its a small two levels restaurant known for delicious kababs & curries. I recommend take out. Try their chicken biryani, chicken korma, butter chicken, samosas along with the kababs. Mid range prices.
Muhammad Ahmad. Kbab hut has the best Lahore style mattan Karahi. They cooked with fresh tomato and ginger. They also have very tasty beef kabab. Customer service is also awesome. Overall me and my family are very satisfied.
Here after few years. Obviously under new owners. Food is very good and affordable. Kebabs were excellent! A hidden gem.
One of my friend suggested and I am glad I went there.
Why i like it.. I went to kabab hut with my friend,we placed order for BBQ plater and Butter Chicken.The BBQ Plater has beef kabab chicken tikka and tandori fish.It was delicious and have attractive look and butter chicken was so good.we enjoy the food.
Delecious food. Hi i visited kabab hut with my freinds and we order kabab fish and chicken butter every thing was

Great food. Full disclosure: Every time I go here, I order the chicken tikka wrap or the chicken tikka platter. It's so good, I haven't felt the need to deviate and try something else.
My wife has tried other dishes and she enjoys them. The price is reasonable and service is decent.
Excellent Dinner. We ate there for the first time on the recommendation of a friends and thoroughly enjoyed the dinner. All the food was delicious, clean and tidy restaurant with nice staff. I would highly recommend this for great Indian food.
Great service and amazing food!! Try the butter chicken!!!
A nice surprise. Especially the plated samosas with chole topping.
SO TASTY. I went to Kabab Hut after reading this from the one of the paper . I'm so happy that i had that visti because every thing was so good and fresh , loved the fish . It was packed every one seemed to enjoy their food.
100% TRUE. Yes, This is a true Pakistani resturant , I"m agreed with Kristin for their good coustumer service and good food. We felt so special while visiting this resturant and teast was 100 % Pakistan.Which reminded me of few places in lahore, we visited last year.
Wonderful !!!!!!!. My dining experience at KababHut was wonderful, My husband, my sister, her friend and I had dinner there after a long day of driving.
Our server was very friendly and the girl at the counter was incredibly knowledgeable of the menu and she was able to help us choose the menu items to suite our group perfectly. Every thing was just amazing!
We enjoyed the Butter Chicken, Fish, Goat Karahi and Mango Shake. I would suggest it to any body,looking for a delicious meal . Kabab Hut is a great place to dine with your family or friends.
Good Pakistani food. My absolute favorite place in calgary. I'm going there every weekend.
Quality Food. One off the best Pakistani foods. As a Realtor/Broker I would love to keep my clients there and without a slight hesitation I would recommend it to any one and everyone. Thank you Kabab Hut for your hospitality. Tanveer Taj Calgary, Alberta
Awesome. I have absolutely, no clue what the two people earlier wrote about bad service. Because the service was amazing. I had went down with my family from Edmonton, and taster there wonderful food. The lady at the counter was extremely polite, as well the young boy had served us quite well. We had tried the chili shrimp and tandoori chicken.MY wife had the nihari and seehk kabbab. The food was excellent, i had been to many other restaurants in Calgary, but i havent tasted such authentic food, as i did at kabbab hut. I would HIGHLY recommend going there, again i have no clue what the two people ahd wrote earlier about bad service, i guess some people have a problem with eevryone and have miserable lives. But great job kabbab hut!!
"Pretty Good". Kabab Hut was recommend by one of my colleagues and we are still grateful to him.
They have most of the classic dishes and all the ones we have tasted over time have been great. We especially like their Kabab, Fish and Naan bread.
We love the taste and atmosphere.
Greatfood. Food was excellent,Loved their Kababs and Mango Shake.
Absolutely fantastic !. Sooooo Incredibly good !
The Naan melts in your mouth and the butter chicken is the best in Calgary.
Excellent food. Awesome food. kabab and tikkas were very good and the kashmiri tea at the end was a delight. fish pakoras were good too. people are very nice and have a very good and quick service.highly recommended. this place will not disappoint you.Shahrukh the young guy working there was very quick and is doing very good job.he deserves a raise. the lady at the counter was very friendly and courteous.probably the best halal food place in calgary. you must try it.
Amazing. On feb. 20th i was at kabab hut with friends. we ordered the kabab, chicken tikka, and a few naans. the food was fantastic, and the service was too good. we really like the upper floor. the waiter was very nice. his name was Shahrukh Khan. we all were suprised. after the dinner we ordered the rasmali which also was great. the pricing was reasonable, and once again the food and service was outstanding
Good food. I was there on friday with my family, first impration was wow !! A very good looking place .
We ordered the Tandoori fish, Seekh Kababs and Goat Karahi. fish and kabab was served on siziling plates which was loved by all of us . My Dad loved their Goat karahi.Every thing was awesome and we loved their naans. their kashmiri chai was number one .The service was great and the atmosphere relaxing.
After a long time ,we had a real good food which reminded me of backhome Pakistan
I definitely recommend every one to try it out .
Had a great experience, food was very tasty and fresh. Service staff is new and very courteous. Kudos to the staff!
It was a very hot day and the AC was not working properly. Management should complain and have it fixed!
My work colleague introduced me to this restaurant today for lunch. I don’t usually drift this far away from my normal culinary favourites. But the staff at Faisal’s was phenomenal and the food was sooooo delicious. We had curry chicken and rice. The sauce was full of flavour and just the right amount of curry spice. It was so amazing that we had to use the bread to finish every ounce of sauce! One of the best lunches I’ve had recently. If you’re in the neighbourhood, I definitely recommend this small, quaint spot. You won’t be disappointed!
The mixed barbecue platter was outstanding! You get chicken tikka, fish tikka, and seekh kabob. Honestly they were all excellent - beautifully marinated and perfectly cooked and juicy.
I slept in a nihari was really good much better than I've had many other places. I would have liked this the meat was a little bit more tender but still it was really well cooked.
Light and fluffy naans - no need to say more.
This establishment is underrated immensely. It is damn good. MashAllah!!
I have personally tried the Afghani Tikka which melted in our mouths. Furthermore, the chicken biryani was really well made also, the only thing I would change is add more salt to it. However, my wife told me the raita/spicy yoghurt they give with it, when eaten together it solves the salt point. So there's that. I also tried their lunch special wherein I tried the Beef Shish Kebab, which was phenomenal, instead of rice, I got another naan, and then proceeded to make a naan kabab roll out of it with the salad and the raita/yoghurt as a sauce. SO GOOD MASHALLAH. One lunch special is good for two people to say the least, very fulfilling and top notch taste.
They serve hand slaughtered halal meat/chicken here, which I confirmed on the phone and in person with the person behind the counter. The kababs are made on a sizzling plate fresh, which adds to the aroma and they come in piping hot. They are sat on a bed of caramelized onions. so so so worth it. Next time, I visit Calgary this is my go to place for at the least lunch. Please do come here and try it out, you will thank me. =]
Amazing food. Fast, great service. Not sure why the reviews aren't better
This is hole in the wall type restaurant. Excellent food - the BBQ platter and kabab are must try. The curry and butter chicken are really good. Not too salty or greasy. The naan bread is good but not the best. Coming from a neighborhood with lots of Indian restaurants, totally surprised and blown away with how good the food is! The price is also very reasonable and food service pretty fast. It seems the restaurant was under-staff and one non-kitchen staff has to do everything.
Delicious food. Consistently tastes the same over many years. The restaurant is small, so we prefer take out or delivery. They never disappoint. We have been eating there for the past 10 years. It's one of our favorite restaurants. It's really good value for money, and food quantity is also very good.
