Kebabiya is a 10-year-old Indian street grill in Bella Vista, Sydney — the Hills District's home of grilled kebabs, sealed-pot biryanis and phone-free dining.

Founded in 2016 by Sanjeev Sharma, Kebabiya is an Indian street grill in Bella Vista, Sydney. The kitchen specialises in tandoori kebabs, sealed-pot dum biryani and slow-cooked Mughlai curries — all halal, all built from hand-pounded spices. The restaurant is also one of Sydney's only #PhoneFreeDining venues, asking diners to surrender their phones at the door for a more present meal.

Kebabiya opened in Bella Vista in 2016 with a single conviction: that kebabs, biryanis and tikkas belong at the centre of Indian dining, not at the edge. A decade later, founder Sanjeev Sharma — drawing on 30+ years across the global hospitality industry — has built a 4.2★ Hills District institution known for hand-pounded masalas, Riverina halal lamb, Steggles halal-certified chicken, and its signature Sharabiya house brew. The restaurant pioneered #PhoneFreeDining in Sydney, asking guests to lock away their devices in exchange for a printed dossier on the meal. From 19–21 May 2026, Kebabiya marks ten years by bringing back the six original dishes from its 2016 opening menu.
