The Indian restaurant Bella Vista books on a Friday.
A decade in the same dining room at Sky City. Charcoal kebabs grilled to order, sealed-pot biryani finished under dough, family platters down the centre of the table. Smart-casual, fully licensed, free undercover parking.
If you've searched for an Indian restaurant in Bella Vista, you've probably noticed there are a few of us. Here's what makes Kebabiya different: we built the whole menu around the live-fire grill, not around curries. Kebabs lead, biryani follows, and the curries are the supporting cast.
That doesn't mean we skip the classics — butter chicken, rogan josh, dal makhani and paneer tikka masala are all on the menu, slow-cooked the way they should be. But the smoke off the tandoor is the reason 2,000+ reviews average 4.2 stars.
Walk in any night of the week and you'll find Bella Vista regulars at half the tables. We know their kids' names and what they'll order before they sit down.
Charcoal, not gas
Tandoori chicken, lamb seekh, malai tikka, chapli, galouti, lamb chops — every kebab on the menu hits charcoal before it hits your plate.
Dum-sealed, never dumped
Hyderabadi chicken, Sindhi lamb, Awadhi murgh, Nawabi tarkari. Aged basmati layered with marinated meat, sealed with dough, steamed for 40 minutes.
A metre of dinner
The signature platter lands down the middle of the table. Built for four to six. The single best way to taste the whole menu in one sitting.
Ten years in the same dining room.
Halal. All meat is fully halal-certified. Bring anyone, no awkward conversations.
Phone-free dining. Hand your devices to our team at the start of the meal and we'll send you home with a small gift. Conversations get better. The food tastes better. Try it once.
Family-friendly. Highchairs, a real kids' menu, and staff who've watched a generation of Bella Vista kids grow up at table 12.
Easy parking. Free undercover parking at Sky City. Lift straight to Level 1. No street-parking lottery.
Fully licensed + BYO wine. Sharabiya — our house brew designed to drink with the spice — alongside a creative cocktail list. Bring your own bottle of red if you've got something special.
