Karim Hotel

It was not just a meal, it was an experience. Such a great lunch. We got our seat in a corner table in the ground floor. The makhni Chicken Burra was so tasty and creamy. The gravy was excellent and mouth watering. The Sikh kabab needs special mention as we never tasted such a soft thing anywhere. It just melted in our mouth. The nihari with nun and biriyani was a great combination. The mutton biriyani taste a lot different from Kolkata biriyani but we enjoyed it as an authentic dish. The mutton korma was extra so we took it in a parcel. The kheer also tasted a lot different with almost no sweet in it. Though the atmosphere is not luxurious or picturesque, but the experience is just awesome to have a mughlai lunch in such an authentic eatery.

This place stays true to old delhi. The ambience is pretty fantastic and pulls you in with it's charm. The eating experience is quite unique because if you're 2-3 people you'll most likely be sharing it with other people. And i enjoy that, having conversation with new people around and getting to know what do they enjoy. But although the food i found pretty average to be honest. Nothing like I haven't had it before. But an experience I'm glad to have tried.

Kareem’s, located near Jama Masjid, is one of Delhi’s most iconic restaurants with a long-standing reputation. However, if you’re not familiar with Old Delhi, it can be a bit difficult to locate, as it’s tucked away inside a narrow and crowded alleyway filled with shops and street vendors. The area is lively but hectic, so be prepared for a bit of a walk through the lanes. Once seated, you’re greeted with a plate of sliced onions, a lemon wedge, and mint chutney, which is a nice traditional touch before your meal. Items I tried: Tandoori Roti Mutton Korma Mutton Seekh Kebab Chicken Seekh Kebab The dishes were decent overall, though I felt the Mutton Korma had a dominating rose-water flavor that didn’t quite suit my taste. The kebabs were tender but didn’t live up to the high expectations I had after watching several online reviews. Also, the prices are slightly on the higher side, especially considering the portion sizes and the overall dining setup. In summary, an average food experience for me — perhaps my expectations were too high — but still worth visiting once for the legacy and atmosphere that makes Kareem’s such a well-known name in Delhi’s food scene.

The food here is truly outstanding — full of flavor, fresh, and prepared with great attention to quality. Every dish tastes delicious and leaves a lasting impression. The only thing I felt is that the portion size is a bit small for the price. We order Mutton Korma and Nihari

Finally got to try Karim's at Jama Masjid, and it was everything I'd hoped for. The atmosphere, the history, and most importantly, the food, are all top-notch. I ordered the Mutton Korma, Mutton Jahangiri, and Mutton Kebab, and each dish was a knockout. The korma was a symphony of spices, the jahangiri was perfectly balanced, and the kebabs were so tender and flavorful. If you want a taste of authentic Mughlai cuisine that's been perfected over a century, this is the place. It's an iconic Delhi institution for a reason.

Awesome place for nonveg lovers. Authentic, economical and friendly. Entrance is still the iconic 'hole in the wall', but now with a signboard. Preparations look spicy and oily, but are amazingly flavourful and easy to digest. I am glad I revisited after a decade.

Visited for its legacy & popularity. Tried mutton kebab & biryani—tasty & flavorful. Despite the crowd, service was quick & attentive, with staff managing tables efficiently as well as post billing.
