Kababish Cafe

Downtown Cary’s Kababish Cafe is a family-run Pakistani and Indian kitchen where owners Samreen Nawaz and Syed Yousuf keep every plate made-to-order. The halal menu draws on scratch cooking so guests can tailor spice levels and ingredients to their needs, whether they are gluten-free, vegan, or dairy-free. Aromatic tandoor breads, basmati rice, and fruit smoothies anchor the experience alongside the warm hospitality that regulars rave about.

Signature bites range from slow-cooked karahi and chef specials garnished with ginger and cilantro to hearty biryanis, lamb biryani, falafel, hummus, and naan that fans celebrate for their layered spice and tenderness. Grill specials from the tandoor and vegetarian entrées simmered in herbs sit beside kid-friendly plates, making it easy to share a feast across the table.

The cafe operates as a full-service, BYOB dining room with a relaxed patio that welcomes families and pets, while prepared staff accommodate custom requests and keep the atmosphere easygoing. Takeout is equally convenient for nights in, and the team asks dine-in guests to arrive before the final half hour to savor the meal unrushed. Whether you linger on the courtyard or take dinner home, Kababish Cafe delivers Triangle comfort with global flair.
