Kababjees Calories & Nutrition Guide 2026: Full Menu Breakdown for Diners
Nutrition values below are researched estimates for general reference, not official figures published by Kababjees. See “How We Calculated These Values” for details.
Craving a sizzling plate of Chicken Karahi but trying to keep an eye on your calories? You’re not alone. Kababjees has grown into one of Pakistan’s most recognizable restaurant groups, and its menu now stretches well beyond the BBQ pit — from desi mains and biryani to the fast-food lineup at Kababjees Express and Kababjees Fried Chicken, plus the desserts and snacks under Kababjees Bakers. That range is great for variety, but it makes “how many calories is this, really?” a harder question to answer than at a single-category fast food chain.
This 2026 Kababjees nutrition guide pulls every major category into one place. Below you’ll find calorie, protein, carb, and fat estimates for fast food and quick bites, desi BBQ and karahi mains, desserts, and drinks — along with practical tips for building a lighter meal and a full FAQ section answering the questions health-conscious searchers ask most.
How We Calculated These Nutrition Values
Kababjees, like most full-service Pakistani restaurant chains, doesn’t publish a complete official nutrition database the way large international fast-food brands do. To build this guide, we used standard serving sizes and ingredient profiles for each dish, based on typical Pakistani restaurant preparation methods (which generally use more oil and ghee than home cooking), and cross-referenced figures where possible against independent nutrition-tracking databases. For example, MyNetDiary’s food database lists a real entry for Kababjees Bakers’ Potato Chips Crinkle BBQ at 520 calories per serving, which we’ve used directly in the fast food table below.
Because each branch — from Kababjees’ own Karachi, Lahore, and Hyderabad locations — prepares food fresh rather than from centrally portioned ingredients, actual values can vary somewhat by branch, chef, and portion size. Treat the numbers below as a reliable everyday reference rather than a clinical measurement. If you’re managing a specific medical condition like diabetes or need exact figures, it’s worth calling your local branch directly or speaking with a registered dietitian.
Kababjees Fast Food & Quick Bites: Calories & Nutrition
The fast-food side of Kababjees — covering Kababjees Express and Kababjees Fried Chicken — leans heavily on burgers, loaded fries, wings, and rolls. These are the items most likely to push past 500 calories per serving, mainly because of the breading, frying oil, and mayo-based sauces.
| Item | Serving Size | Calories (kcal) | Protein (g) | Carbs (g) | Fat (g) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Zinger / Stripzilla Chicken Burger | 1 burger (~220g) | 520 | 22 | 48 | 27 |
| Crispy Chicken Sandwich | 1 sandwich (~200g) | 480 | 20 | 45 | 24 |
| Chicken BBQ Sandwich | 1 sandwich (~210g) | 460 | 21 | 42 | 22 |
| Chicken Crispy Loaded Fries | 1 box (~300g) | 650 | 18 | 60 | 38 |
| Regular French Fries | 1 regular (~150g) | 380 | 5 | 48 | 18 |
| BBQ Chicken Wings | 4 pieces (~180g) | 420 | 26 | 14 | 28 |
| Chicken Behari Paratha Roll | 1 roll (~180g) | 410 | 17 | 38 | 21 |
| Potato Chips Crinkle BBQ (Kababjees Bakers) | 1 pack (~75g) | 520 | 6 | 54 | 32 |
Stripzilla Chicken Burger
520 Cal
Crispy Chicken Sandwich
480 Cal
Regular French Fries
380 Cal
BBQ Chicken Wings
420 Cal
The Chicken Crispy Loaded Fries is the heaviest item on this list at roughly 650 calories, largely from the cheese, sauce, and double layer of fries and fried chicken. If you're after something lighter from this category, a plain Chicken BBQ Sandwich without extra cheese or mayo is your best bet.
Kababjees Desi BBQ, Karahi & Biryani Mains: Calories & Nutrition
This is where Kababjees built its reputation — grilled boti, seekh kebab, rich karahi, and fragrant biryani. Grilled BBQ items tend to be leaner than you’d expect, since they’re cooked over open flame rather than deep-fried, while karahi and handi dishes pick up extra calories from the oil and ghee used in the gravy.
| Item | Serving Size | Calories (kcal) | Protein (g) | Carbs (g) | Fat (g) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chicken Malai Boti | 1 skewer / 4 pieces (~150g) | 320 | 24 | 4 | 23 |
| Chicken Tikka (Boti) | 1 leg piece (~150g) | 280 | 26 | 3 | 18 |
| Behari Beef Kebab | 2 pieces (~150g) | 310 | 22 | 6 | 22 |
| Chicken Seekh Kebab | 2 pieces (~140g) | 290 | 20 | 5 | 21 |
| Chicken Karahi | 1 person serving (~250g) | 480 | 30 | 10 | 35 |
| Mutton Karahi | 1 person serving (~250g) | 560 | 32 | 8 | 42 |
| Chicken Biryani | 1 plate (~350g) | 520 | 24 | 62 | 19 |
| Plain Naan | 1 piece (~90g) | 290 | 8 | 50 | 7 |

Plain Garlic Naan
1 piece (~90g)
Chicken Handi falls in a similar range to Chicken Karahi (roughly 450-480 calories per person serving), since both use a comparable gravy base. If you want to lighten a karahi-style meal, skip the second naan and add a side of raita (around 80 calories) instead — it cools the spice without the extra carbs and fat of more bread.
Kababjees Desserts & Sweet Treats: Calories & Nutrition
From Middle Eastern-inspired Kunafa to classic Pakistani sweets, Kababjees Bakers covers a wide dessert lineup. These items are sugar and ghee-heavy by nature, so portion control matters more here than almost anywhere else on the menu.
| Item | Serving Size | Calories (kcal) | Protein (g) | Carbs (g) | Fat (g) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kunafa | 1 slice (~150g) | 420 | 7 | 48 | 22 |
| Gulab Jamun | 2 pieces (~80g) | 300 | 4 | 42 | 13 |
| Gajar Ka Halwa | 1 bowl (~150g) | 360 | 6 | 38 | 21 |
| Kheer | 1 bowl (~150g) | 230 | 5 | 34 | 8 |
| Oreo / Cookies & Cream Shake | 1 regular (~350ml) | 480 | 9 | 58 | 23 |
| Vanilla Ice Cream | 1 scoop (~60g) | 140 | 2 | 18 | 7 |
Gulab Jamun
(2 pieces) 300 Cal
Desi Barffi
(2 pieces) 400 Cal
Red Vellvet Donuts
(1 pieces) 200 Cal
Nutella Brownie
(1 pieces) 300 Cal
Kheer is the lightest traditional option on this list at around 230 calories per bowl, while a milkshake can actually outweigh a slice of Kunafa once you factor in the ice cream and syrup base.

Tips for Eating Healthier at Kababjees
A few small adjustments can meaningfully change the nutrition profile of your order without making the meal feel like a compromise:
- Choose grilled over fried. Chicken Tikka, Boti, and Seekh Kebab are cooked over open flame and run lighter than anything from the fried chicken or burger menu.
- Ask for sauces on the side. Mayo-based dips and loaded-fries toppings can add 100+ calories on their own; portioning them yourself cuts that down fast.
- Share rich mains. A Mutton Karahi or Handi is built for two to three people — splitting one instead of ordering individually keeps portions realistic.
- Watch the naan count. A single plain naan is around 290 calories; swapping a second piece for a small salad or raita saves carbs and fat.
- Pick your drink last. Soft drinks and milkshakes are the easiest place to cut 150-350 calories — fresh juice, iced tea, or water do the same job for less.
- Split dessert. A shared slice of Kunafa or bowl of Kheer lets you enjoy the flavor Kababjees is known for without the full calorie load.
