Kabana

Kabana on Trinity Street has been one of Huddersfield's most celebrated Pakistani restaurants since 1989, built around the tawa — a large flat iron cooking vessel that arrives at the table loaded with curries, lamb chops, seekh kebabs, chapattis and rice for sharing. Owner Mr Khan has welcomed food writers and celebrities, and the restaurant's claim to serve the best tawa in the UK is backed by a national TikTok and Instagram following that brings visitors specifically from other cities. A Pakistani-style pizza, made with soft, light dough, has joined the menu and drawn its own enthusiastic reviews. Award-winning, family-owned and halal throughout. The dine-in experience is social and informal — the tawa is the undisputed centrepiece and the reason Kabana has lasted over three decades.
