Kebabish Original, located at 128 Dalry Rd in Edinburgh, has swiftly gained a reputation for its vibrant atmosphere and delicious Pakistani cuisine. Recent refurbishments have transformed the space into a chic dining environment, perfect for both casual meals and romantic evenings.
Patrons rave about the extensive menu, which offers a mix of south Asian delicacies and grilled delights. Standout dishes include the reshmi kebab and lamb chops, both praised for their robust flavors and tender textures. The butter chicken, elevated with the right amount of spice, pairs beautifully with fresh, warm naan. However, while many desserts like the Dubai Chocolate Cake and Belgian Pistachio Waffles received lukewarm feedback due to dryness, the overall dining experience remains memorable.
The service at Kebabish Original is noteworthy, with staff like Rohit Chopra consistently providing excellent service. Customers feel welcomed and well-looked-after, enhancing their enjoyment. With complimentary parking and a dedication to high-quality food, Kebabish Original stands out as a must-visit destination for anyone craving authentic Pakistani flavors.

Kebabish has recently refurbished and its very stylish and nice now. Food was great. The desserts we had were the Dubai Chocolate Cake and Belgian Pistachio Waffles which were both not that good, quite dry but everything else was great! We had the mixed grill and the Lamb Karahi.

Kebabish is a south Asian fine dining restaurant that offers a delightful dining experience. Upon arrival, we were promptly seated and greeted by the upgraded decor, which creates an impressive ambiance. The menu boasts a wide variety of dishes, including dedicated grilled starters, Asian delights, and succulent steaks. We opted for the grilled starters, which were a hit. The reshmi kebab and lamb chops were bursting with flavour, cooked to perfection and tender. The sauces were fresh and flavourful, adding a delightful touch to each bite. For our main courses, we indulged in the butter chicken with chilli and coriander naan and plain naan. The butter chicken was slightly spicy, which I personally prefer, as it originally comes with a sweet flavour. The naan was fresh and delicious. We also savoured the rib eye steak with peppercorn sauce and chips. The steak was cooked to a perfect medium-rare, resulting in a tender, juicy, and flavourful centre. The peppercorn sauce was the icing on the cake, elevating the dish to new heights. Overall, the service and food at Kebabish were exceptional. The staff are welcoming and always make sure you have everything you need. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable dining experience. Parking is available at the rear of the restaurant, with a complimentary four-hour parking slot using the validation system at the entrance.

Kebabish was absolutely awesome - Just had the mixed grill, tandoori paratha, and lamb karahi at Kebabish — absolutely delicious! Proper finger-licking food that legit reminded me of traditional home made food. Full of flavour, cooked to perfection. The vibes were great, and the service was on point. Definitely one of the best desi spots in Edinburgh!
