The Scene – Trying to place your order at this bustling 24-hour street food joint can be like entering the holiday shopping fray. But don't be alarmed: The disorganized frenzy at this neighborhood fave is a long-standing tradition. You'll see crowds that reflect the diversity of the surrounding Jackson Heights neighborhood, with people cutting lines and barking out orders at the food counter staff. Cheap furniture and fluorescent lighting make for spartan decor; pull up a plastic chair and dive into the hungry chaos. – – The Food – Kebab King is famous for its savory…

Best chai, great biryani, 24 hour Pakistani heaven
by nhk2102
This place is great, unless of course you're one of the Jackson Heights gentrifiers who'd prefer a $24 plate of lamb in a sanitized and completely inauthentic environment. Kabab King is a neighborhood staple and a personal favorite. Their chai is to die for, and their food is heavenly, albeit on the greasy side. (They haven't bought into the health-food trend that's sure to kick in once the neighborhood is fully invaded by Astoria overflow. Then, I'm sure you can chomp down a tofu kabob and wash it down with a chai-tini.) Anyway, give Kabob King's lamb a shot - don't be chicken!

horrible experience
by ella33333
This place has the absolute worst service I have ever encountered. Their delivery people are surly, unhelpful, and cannot find street corners on the grid-like roads of midtown Manhattan. They are also repeatedly late and if you call them, you will most likely be put on hold for 20 minutes or more. They will also agree to your requests only to later refuse to acknowledge them. If you want any peace of mind, do NOT order food from this place.

Kabab King is a madhouse...
by stringy33
Kabab King is mobbed by people, both upstairs and down, and their current facilities seem unable to handle the crowd. On the other hand, the food is truly authentic Pakistani cuisine-- very well-prepared and tasty. It's a pity that the facilities are inadequate. Service is very spotty and unprofessional. The upstairs dining room could use a thorough cleanup, rearrangement, and reorganization. The ambience is that of a cafeteria rather than a dining hall.
- Pros: Food quality and diversity
- Cons: Poor facilities
The Details on Kabab King Diner
Know Before You Go:
Kebab King has a hospitable tradition of not asking seated diners to pay until they've finished their meal. However, tip is required--even if you don't get much wait service.
Where to Sit:
Fancier service is available in the larger upstairs dining room, but the no-frills downstairs is always busier.
The Extras:
Stroll over to Patel Brothers for fantastic South Asian grocery shopping, including well-priced spices and rices.
