  great place! super friendly staff. the kabab sever was extra nice and courteous. Keeping our table clean. For the food. The lamb kabab and chop was so flavorful. The red and yellow grill chicken kabab was super juicy and good. The naan was thin and crispy. Everything was fresh and yummy. The mango lemonade was the best of their lemonade. and mango ice cream very good and creamy. only complain is their mill tea is a bit weak but I'm used to much stronger stuff.

  My family and I have been coming to Favorite for years. The name suits this restaurant, it’s genuinely my favorite Indian restaurant. We always come for the dinner buffets on Fridays/Saturdays. They have a good selection of food and sweets. The fountain drinks are included which is a plus. One of my favorite dishes is the fish pakora. We had dinner tonight and were treated with a variety of different flavored chicken and lamb kebabs. They were all delicious! They were grilling the kebabs on charcoal outside. The marinades on the kebabs were very flavorful, and the charcoal was a nice touch in terms of flavor. We’re regulars at this restaurant…you can’t go wrong in giving them a try.

  If you’re searching for the best Indian restaurant for live kebabs all you can eat, this place is honestly a hidden gem. I’ve tried a lot of spots, but nothing comes close to their live kebab grill experience. The moment you walk in, you can smell the smoky flavors from the freshly grilled kebabs, and that’s when you know you picked the right place. The all you can eat kebab menu is insane—juicy chicken tikka, tender seekh kebabs, perfectly spiced lamb chops, and even great vegetarian options. Everything is cooked right in front of you on a live grill, so it’s always hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The staff keeps bringing rounds nonstop, so if you’re a real kebab lover, you’re going to be in heaven. What I really liked is that the meat is never dry—super juicy, well-marinated, and packed with authentic Indian spices. The chutneys and sides just take it to another level. Honestly, this is one of the top Indian buffet restaurants for kebabs I’ve been to. Perfect spot for family dinners, friends, or even if you just want to enjoy unlimited kebabs in a live grill restaurant. Prices are reasonable for the quality and quantity you get. If you’re into Indian BBQ, live kebabs, and all you can eat buffets, don’t miss this place. I’ll definitely be coming back again.

  Honestly, Live Kababs Hayward is my go-to Indian spot in Hayward. I’ve tried a bunch of places, but I keep coming back here mainly for their all you can eat dinner buffet. The food just hits right. The live kababs are probably my favorite part—they’re fresh, hot, and actually taste like they just came off the grill, not like they’ve been sitting out. The buffet has a solid variety too, with good curries, biryani, and plenty of options even if you’re vegetarian. Nothing feels too greasy or heavy, which is rare for buffets. The vibe is pretty chill, nothing fancy but clean and comfortable. Good place to go with friends or family when you just want to eat properly and not worry about ordering a bunch of stuff. Overall, if you’re in Hayward and craving Indian food, Live Kababs Hayward is definitely worth it, especially if you’re going for the all you can eat dinner buffet.

  Came here for lunch and honestly didn’t expect it to be this good. The lunch buffet had a lot of options—curries, rice, naan, and plenty of vegetarian dishes. Everything tasted fresh and they kept refilling it quickly. The best part for me was the live kabab skewers. They were grilling them right there, so you get them hot and fresh with that smoky flavor. The chicken and lamb were both really juicy and well-seasoned. Also liked that they had chai and desserts included, which is a nice touch. Overall, good food, good variety, and definitely worth it if you’re hungry and want to try a bit of everything. I’ll be coming back.
