Good tasty food in an interesting atmosphere. Eaten there twice and no hint of Delhi Belly which is rare for me. Don't miss the kebabs. More

I think the taste of the butter chicken was very different from what we ususally encounter in other restaurants. Brilliant is the word. it's location however is not very cool, since you have to walk all the way, and there's a lot of rush. All in all a very good place More

If you are looking for the best and authentic mughlai taste visit Karim's. The place serves mouthwatering Burra, Kababs, Tandoori chickens. the breads are soft and the korma, badam pasanda and stew great. Don't miss the phirni desert. The place is a bit tricky to get to as its in the heart of old delhi, leave your car outside or... More

Oh what a place for non-vegetarians!! The food served here is the finest in town. So many delicious options to choose from!! The ambience however is okay. Be ready to await your turn in the queue for hours. The staff is okay. But all these things given, the quality of the food is amazing! Definately not a place to miss... More

Beware of Karim’s near Jama Masjid in Old Delhi before packing your food there! You might’ve paid, but some stuff might be missing from the packet; and the bill might also be missing – which may leave you with no proof too. Once you take that claim, you would be treated as a fraud. That was a personal experience on... More

If one is not put off by the bustling approach to the restaurant, then, one is in for a treat. The preparations are unique in terms of spices, herbs, seasoning etc. A nostalgia is recreated in your pallets. In many ways the restaurant is simple and there is no spirit served here. The place is primarily for people who want... More

Love the food there esp the chapati. The food is great but the ambience isn't and hence when you go there, dont look for anything else apart from good food. The staff are not very kind to vegeterians. More

From the Muton Burra, to the Chicken Seekh, from the Murg Jahangiri to the Sheermals, there is nothing here that doesn't scream authentic! The biryani is to die for and the tikkas and any other delicacy are just yummilicious. If you are visiting Delhi- then the Karims at Jama Masjid is a must must visit!! More

Getting to this place requires a lot of walking through narrow paths. But once you enter the final small lane, the area where the restaurant resides is quite large & accommodates a large number. Initially Time taken to serve is fast. The waiters are a bit forgetful and you have to remind them about your order, probably because of the... More
