Seattle's first authentic Pakistani restaurant

Kabab House has served Kirkland since 1996 — the first authentic Pakistani restaurant in the greater Seattle area. Locally owned and 100% Halal, built on genuine recipes and bold spices.

From charcoal-grilled seekh kabab and chicken malai boti to slow-simmered karahi and dum biryani, every dish is built on traditional Pakistani techniques. The goat biryani and garlic naan recipes haven't changed.
