Gone is the unattractive buffet that formerly occupied this inconspicuous storefront in a South Side strip mall. Kabana Grill (869 W. Layton Ave.) has delightful ambiance and a large Indian-Pakistani menu. The accent is on Pakistani, given the beef dishes on the menu and the use of Halal meats. Offered are mutton and lamb, beef, chicken, seafood, vegetarian dishes and many unusual items (tandoori mutton is seldom tasted around here) plus a good selection of naan and grilled breads. The Kabana sampler ($12.99) is an excellent way to try your choice of three attractively served, fresh-tasting vegetarian selections. Friday brings a lunch buffet ($10.99) and Saturday and Sunday a more extensive brunch buffet ($12.99), served 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Kabana is worth looking for.
