5 /5 Manali Jain: We visited Kabana Bar + Grill for a relaxed lunch date on a Friday afternoon. Since it wasn’t busy, the overall vibe felt quite low and much quieter than expected for a place with such a lively reputation.
That said, the service truly stood out. Our server, Patricia, was incredibly attentive, warm, and sweet, which made the experience much more enjoyable.
The food and drinks were the highlight. The Espresso Martini was excellent—smooth, well-balanced, and easily one of the better ones I’ve had. We ordered the Mediterranean Platter, and every component felt fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The hummus, muhammara, and mutabal were flavorful and vibrant, while the golden falafel was perfectly done. The Moroccan zalouk was especially delicious and added a nice depth to the platter.
Overall, while the atmosphere was quieter than anticipated, the quality of the food, cocktails, and service left a great impression. I’d definitely like to return on a weekend evening when the place is more happening and the energy is turned up.
