At college, Limbachia studied photography, fashion, and textiles, before embarking on a degree course in Costume Design at Bretton Hall, the University of Leeds' affiliate college.

She worked in costume on several film sets, including Chicken Tikka Masala in 2005, Bradford Riots in 2006 (costume trainee) and All Day Breakfast in 2008. In 2010, she founded her own business of designing and selling vintage clothing and accessories.

She started working with Trading Standards and saved up funds to attend an acting course at the Manchester School of Acting, landing her first role in the play Rafta Rafta, which also wrote East Is East.

Alia Khan, the character in the BBC comedy film Citizen Khan, was her first television appearance. The character wears a hijab, tight jeans, and tops, as well as a lot of make-up.

In February 2016, Limbachia joined Coronation Street, playing Rana Habeeb as a love interest for character Zeedan Nazir. Limbachia announced her resignation from the show in January 2019, with Rana set to be killed later this year. In the episode broadcast on March 20, 2019, she departed.

Rana was the show's first muslim lesbian character and her relationship with Faye Brookes, who plays her lover Kate Connor has been highlighted amongst fans and the community. Rana's storyline in which she learns about her sexuality and her parents' subsequent loss was lauded, and the two characters were given the affectionate name 'Kana'. The Rana and Kate storyline was selected as one of the Top ten LGBT Media Moments in the British LGBT Awards 2019.
