Karim's

The food here is, needless to say absolutely amazing. The quantity is though less, but enough for everyone to finish. Prices are okay too considering the enormous amount of flavour in these foods. We had mutton qorma, mutton keema, mutton seekh kebab, 2 rotis and a sheermal. We are definitely mutton fans, preferring the red juicy meat any day over chicken. There are a lot of bengali speaking workers here too, which is not surprising but rather pleasant. They serve a green, spicy and tangy diluted chutney with onions to go with the other dishes. The place and it's food is in high demand, inviting people from all over the country as well as foreigners who want to take delight in local mughlai cuisine and culture. The waiting time, though there is, doesn't take much long. You share a table with another family. It's all good, people are decent.

When visiting Delhi, real Mughlai cuisine is a must. The atmosphere was serene, filled with aromas and cheerful smiles. Despite the long wait, no one appeared exhausted, annoyed, or irritated. The meal is wonderful and one-of-a- kind. Aside from Qorma, Naan, and Seekh Kebab, one should order the Barra, which comes in both chicken and mutton varieties. The service was excellent, and I would strongly advise you not to miss this restaurant under any circumstances. Try the Phirni or Kheer. Not too sweet... and what a way to end the meal! Looking forward to visit this place again.

This place needs no introduction, a visit to chandani chauk/ Jama Masjid is incomplete for a non-vegetarian if they do not eat at karims. This was my second visit to karims but after 13 long years, and what was the good part and sadly the bad one as well was that nothing there has changed. The food is good, it’s a non vegetarians heaven, but not a place where a vegetarian would like to eat. I personally was a bit taken aback by the lack of hygiene. The smell was overwhelming to bear, hence I just picked up a mutton sheekh roll for the sake of having come so far. The place without a doubt is iconic for innumerable reasons, however , i personally was a bit disappointed.

I visited Karim’s after watching it on different TV shows and knowing that their chef come from the family of royal chefs. I had Chicken Jahangiri, it didn’t disappoint at all and was the best mughlai dish I had. The rumali roti wasn’t that great but the biryani compensated for it. I like how they make their dishes in pure ghee since that adds more flavor to the food. Its a tiny place but is surely worth visiting especially when you’re at/near Jama Masjid, its only few minutes walk from the masjid. There are a lot of similar options around but I’m sure this one serves authentic mughlai food that the emperors used to eat!

If you're looking for an authentic experience while in Old Delhi, then you should definitely check out Karim Hotel. I recently visited the restaurant and had high expectations, but was blown away by what I found. The mutton kabab was delicious, the bread and gravies were excellent, and the butter chicken was outstanding. The only downside was the service, as the staff were a bit rude and impatient. But that minor hiccup was in no way a reflection of the food, which was a real treat from start to finish. Plus the open kitchen at Karim Hotel gave an excellent insight into traditional Old Delhi cuisine. Highly recommend Karim Hotel if you're in the area.

Being an mutton lover it's one of the main reason to visit Delhi .. we went there on 27th October 2023 for the first time .. the smell we were getting as we entered ahhhh 😍😍😍😍 .. The perfect Nehari they made .. have tried so many Karim's branches in Kolkata none of them make the perfect Nehari ... what can I say about the Mutton sheek kebab .. it's so so so soft that you don't even have to chew ... biriyani kheer everything is just so perfect .. the mutton was extremely juicy.. perfectly tendered ... I want to visit again again ... To all the meat lovers do visit Karim's hotel pvt ltd in Delhi Jama masjid branch must .. ❤️❤️❤️... It's just perfect.. I can't explain how happy our tummy was .. I still can't get out of Nehari and Sheek kebab 😋😋😋😋😋... so yammy it was .... 😋😋😋😋

The biryani was pretty disappointing by both taste and quantity. A full plate biryani with 4 pieces mutton, costs over 600/- but the quantity was not even enough for one grown up. The kebab was good with nun. The pocket pinch was heavy comparing to the food we took. It was nearly 2000/- for three yet not satisfied.
