We have been to Karimi multiple times and also had a large catering also from here. They have great Chicken Biryani, Chicken Kofte, Dahi Bade, Seekh Kabob. We also had some Chinese dishes and they were awesome. One of our favorite places. Even when they are crowded their service is fast.

I am a regular here. I have not tried any of there chinese food but the desi food is really good. Specially seekh kabab and naan is great. Also their lamb chops, chicken tikka masala, I was not a fan of their haleem because it was with chicken. Their tandoori fish is ok and malai chicken boti is good. Mango lassi is also great. Also like the complimentary tea, be forewarned that it already has sugar in it. As desi restaurants go, it is very clean. The service is always #1.

Some of the best kebabs in the business. I recommend the Chicken Malai Boti Kebabs and the Beef Seekh Kebabs. The Hakka Noodles are excellent. Curries and Naan are also very good here. Complimentary Chai is always a plus. Plenty of seating inside. Very clean and nice interiors. Great Service. Highly Recommended.
