I am a regular visitor, about once a month. Though at first the place does seem a li'l weird .. u eventually start to get a nice feeling about the ambience, its got an all unique feel to it. Sharing your table with complete strangers, the mouth-watering aroma.. the not so perfect atmosphere... Somehow it all just works out a... More

It is referred to as one of the best Non-Veg restaurants in India but i think it over-rated I live in Delhi and hav been there a couple of times but the taste is not so great Last time I had Chicken Jahangiri and Biryani... The chicken tasted a bit sour (probably due to tomatoes) and there was just one... More

The food specially (Non-Veg) is absolutely delicious, The bread specially Tandoori is too good. you have to bear with the ambience which is decent but there is short of elbow room and service too is ok. Visit it only if you are looking for great food.

Sure, Karim's offers good Mughlai food. This huge joint, which is actually a cluster of smaller places around some kind of courtyard with a central kitchen, is justifiedly famous. Unfortunately, fame takes its toll. It's getting expensive for what it is, and staff gets more arrogant everytime I come herre. (Actually I decided that this would be the last.) The... More

Great for meat lovers who enjoy classic kebabs in Old Delhi. I've taken many friends and visitors here--- great stop when in the neighborhood! Quality food-- and local/basic ambiance that's part of the area.

A strong recommendation for anyone who remotely loves mughlai food... Please visit Karim's. The food is awesome, the service even better, the staff is friendly and the food finger-licking.... There are number of food outlets around the by-lane where Karim's is housed, but keep the distraction away.. a diamond is always found deep inside a mine, not on the surface.... More

We took a car as far as we could, then a bicycle rickshaw to get to Karim's - its a busy hive of activity and there multiple Karim's spots in the one place. Its a little bit ramshackle but this is Old Delhi the food is amazing and excellent value, you can eat a good meal for a fiver. Its... More
