kareem's

absolutely delicious food , highly recommended. a must visit with the entire family... very well priced .

ordered the nizami chicken and kalimirch chicken roll from here on chef’s recommendation. happened to call the restaurant and had a chance to talk to the chef ( mohammed) himself who is from lucknow.
the rolls were great with good filling inside. the chicken pieces were big and fresh with thinly sliced onions.
both the flaky paranthas were wrapped in egg and we enjoyed rolls after a long time. we got complimentary doodhi halwa which was very good. the sweetness was just to the point.
also i ordered for less spicy and it came that way. i might go for the normal spice the next time....!! will surely be ordering again..!!

want to feel the real taste of authentic indian biriyani?want to give a special treat to know t real indian cuisine to other nationalities?you must visit here... special place.. truly a 💎 gem of quality, authenticity,taste and ambiance.... must try is dum biriyani..good luck..

loved the chicken tangdi kulfi kebab which was creamy, tasty & unique. kareem’s special chicken karachi was little oily, but tasted good with the combo of aloo kulcha. dum aloo kashmiri was spicy, but tasted good with the combo of bhurani raita. i loved the doodhi halwa too. very good quality service from a newly opened restaurant. thanks.

for the starters throughly enjoyed having the following
-fish aachari tikka :this was delicious -juicy ,fresh and with subtle marination full of flavors.
-chicken kalimiri tikka :my personal favorite would be this one ,topped with some freshly ground crushed black pepper and in the interiors quite juicy ,soft had a creamy texture and was delicious.
-mutton burrah :these were mutton lamb chops ,super succulent meat loved it .
-mutton seekh kebab :these were thick and juicy .again a favorite ,with great blend of spices and lovely mughali flavors.
-chatpata aloo:a great option for vegetarians ,desi baby potatoes with some delicious chatpata masala on the outside .these are a dry not with gravy.

-lehsooni paneer :i think this one can surely be improved,i felt it was a little bland .the garlic flavor on the exterior needed to be a little more evident for me personally.

main course
-lehsooni palak :i would definitely recommend this dish.i think its by far the best palak i’ve ever tried with absolutely great balance keeping the taste of palak very original.nothing was overdone in this particular dish, the garlic flavor was a star for me .
-mutton rogan josh:the mutton was cooked to perfection ,the meat was literally fall of the bone .it was not typically that spicy ,i felt the spice level was manageable.
-mutton biryani : they do not add any artificial coloring to their biryani which a really great .all the color is nature with saffron and authentic indian spices .the mutton went really well with dum biryani rice .i could actually taste saffron in the biryani ,truly an authentic mughali biryani.

desserts:tried the doodi and gajar ka halwa ,it was delicious too.not too overly sweet which is what i liked about these desserts.

tried their kalmiri kabab based on another review ..was juicy and good taste.i will not say outstanding but was good

delicious tandoori chicken and paaya soup. very hospitable staff. its a must go for every soul that craves for a piece of mouth watering kebab and a delectable chana daal!

the food was good taste was also great. great service. ambience great .the paaya soup is great.the kebabs we great. the only issue was the biryani the taste was good but the portion for biryani compared to the prices was less.

got 3 rolls delivered- ch reshmi tikka, ch nizami tikka and mutton bhuna, in abu dhabi may be among the top, medium size but its a light meal :-), bhuna and nizami are better than reshmi , reshmi could have been more tasty. decent taste, dont expect the delhi taste.

we will be able to reccomend full of confidence as each and every items which we had are excellent,, along with tasty food and ambience and service level give us wonderfull experiece.. items we tried butter garlic butter prawns as a starter was delicious and mouth watering,,, , masala papad, and tandoori chicken,,chicken tikka biriyani, kareems special chicken curry,and breads, and desserts also come with excellent taste

my craving for yumm and spicy rolls were satisfied after munching on couple of juicy ones from kareem’s.. 😋 both the chicken nizami and the mutton bhuna were delivered hot-hot in neat packages..
the flavors were blend to perfection- juicy meat on a bed of egg paratha rolled tightly along with crunchy onions and aromatic spices is definitely a win-win🖐🏻
and yes, not to forget the mint chutney which was the accompaniment ..
waiting to dine-in soon👍🏻

went twice. tried different dishes each time. excellent food. recommend to start with their signature strawberry cucumber mojito

food was delicious. starters were juicy and flavorful. the naans were hot fresh and not tough at all unlike most other places and the price was affordable too

there are those few occasions when you you reach a place absolutely unplanned and have the best meal in the longest time!....this was exactly how my visit to kareem's happened tonight. my 4* are only because i believe there is scope of some new magic to be churned up in that kitchen...a view of which you can see as you walk by the restaurant.
i couldn't resist, so i entered but figured i could make my peace for the moment if i shared a roll and we decided for the mutton roll. the juicy kebab wrapped in the crispy paratha cooked with a layer of egg and served with a green chutney was a delight! .... we were greeted by the kind hospitality and interesting conversations with the owner nibras who ever so kindly and willing absorbed all our feedback and we had a chance to eat the lucknowi mutton biryani served with a small portion of raita, the strawberry basil cucumber mocktail (an absolute delight for the summertime!) and the star of the evening...the dhoodhi halwa!!... you cannot believe it till you actually eat it! this was not a planned meal but while chatting, in the flow of events, we actually ended up eating all of it!! my only regret... i have no pictures!
highly recommend for all you mughlai food lovers!

a reason to visit abu dhabi. kareem’s opened in madinat zayed. loved the biryani and non veg platter. remembered the dining experience of kolkota branch last year! 55th branch!! good luck and do open in dubai....
