For those who crave for Kebabs all the freaking time, Kareem's in this city is synonymous for them. Kareem's has successfully flourished in this city since some time now with a number of outlets, all located very centrally. I have been to their Sector 5 and Park Street outlets, and oh boy, you are in for a Royal Mughali Treat if your plan on visiting Kareem's! The luxurious interior and the brilliant chandeliers make for a regal atmosphere where you can have a memorable gastronomic journey with your loved ones.

Visited the place during Maha Saptami night. It was already past midnight. However, we got our table after waiting for only 10-15 minutes. At Kareem's Park Street, we ordered the following items: - Chicken malai kebabs - Tandoori roti - Chicken Lahori - Mutton dum biryani The chicken malai kebabs were simply delicious. The chicken was soft, tender, and cheesy. I was disappointed with the tandoori rotis. They were crispy and didn't taste good. Chicken Lahori was also okayish. The mutton biryani was again great. One portion of the biryani had an egg, one whole potato, two pieces of meat, and a good amount of rice. Loved the biryani. Apart from the tandoori roti, there was nothing much to complain about. Also, it was during Durga Puja, so I could cut them some slack. The ambience was wonderful and the staff were very courteous and helpful.

The Afghani kebabs were a delightful surprise. Each bite was a burst of smoky, tender, and perfectly seasoned meat. The biryani was equally outstanding. Fragrant, aromatic, and bursting with flavor, it was a feast for the senses. If you're looking for an authentic taste of kebabs and biryani, Kareem's is the place to be.

To start off, the food is one of the best in the city I would even say better than many 5 star restaurants. The ambience is good, the food is served perfectly and in a short time and the service is too good. Bit heavy on the pocket, but can be managed on special occasions. Definitely try the raan biryani that serves 5-6 people.

I always visit kareem's for my mutton craving. Yea they prepare lots of junk foods but I like sometimes... because taste of foods are awesome. Price average.

Biriyani with artificial scent, one of the worst Biriyani I ever had. Below average Paneer Lahori and Matton Karachi. Slow service and bad attitude of the waiter.

Service is pleasant. Serving time is quick. Starters are to die for. Just love them. Malai phirni was so damn creamy. Mutton Nalli can be cooked a bit more. Overall a very nice experience.

A fine dine place in Kolkata. If you are into biriyani and kababs this is the place. Tried kabab and biryani both were good. Price is abit high. I found them crowded at the dinner time. Consider going early for dinner. Overall biriyani was the best and curries are decent but worth trying.

One of the best place for mughlai food lovers with beautiful interior. The location is also very good. The taste of the foods are awesome. If you can't consume a well amount of food at a time then sharing one biriyani with one is the best option. The kebabs are the best in their.

Over Hyped!!! Paid 425/- for a plate of chicken biryani on a non festive day tasted so waste of money. The biryani was neither cooked in ghee nor refined oil, instead they used "DALDA". Please avoid this restaurant as it has lost it's quality. Not sure if this was specific to this location, but a TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY. You may prefer local street biryani worth 100-150rs instead of having this. Mineral Water - 110 Salad -125 Not worth at all

The price of food is high. Staff behaviour was cold. We had a lunch with our kids; what I find awkward was they were not comfortable with kids. They were treating a bit rude . When it comes about child then cant say they have badic politeness in them.

Good ambience, good services and quality foods are available. Price are good compared to it's quality and quantity. Sitting chairs tables need to change for more comfortable or give some more space for sitting One small point, here one normal bottle water charged Rupees 110/- and it's normal quality water just not mineral(without bottle).

I reduced 1star for costing 1packaged water bottle for 110rs without taking permission.( They dont ask you or give any option for water. They provied us woth 2 water bottles wihtout even asking and charged 220rs extra for it.) Except this problem..this place is nice to have food with you family And I will recommend this place for having kababs. Biriyani is also tasty. The menus I will recommend 1. Malai kabab 2. Peshwari kabab 3. Lahori chikchen We also tried 4. Hazari kabab 5. Chickhen tikka masala 6. Mutton Biriyani

The ambience of this restaurant is just amazing. We tried Chicken Potli Kebab, Special Chicken Dum Biriyani.. The services and behaviour of the staffs were very polite. I would love to visit there again. And I love their different types of kebabs.. ❤️

One of the best restaurant in town for the people who like eating Mughlai items. The food is absolute delicious and authentic with plenty of options to choose from. The ambience is cozy with beautiful interior. A must visit place. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough - it is truly a must-go option.

The food was really tasty. But the price is a bit high so keep that in mind. Ambience and staff service was really great. A good place to have Indian food. I recommend this place to everyone .

The food is beyond comparison, I love Kareem's its a bit on the luxury side as it can be a bit biting on the pocket, but if u want good Mughlai, u can always choose, Kareem's. I tried the Rann special biryani which costed of 2500 but it is fulfilling for atleast 6-7 people, so if u go with family, you are sorted. The biryani consists of east 3-4 pieces of mutton for each shared among the people. We were a group of 8 people so u can imagine the quantity. The kebab platter, omg! Cooked to perfection, loved the food and ambience. These are pics without edits for better assumptions. 🙂

We went there on Christmas day and got seats immediately. Service was really good and fast, the good was extremely delicious loved their non veg and biryani dishes. Would love to revisit anytime!

Restaurant : Kareem's (Park Street) Location : Beside Park Street Arsalan Decor : Extremely Decorated Service : Fast and well mannered staff Food : We ordered Chicken Malai Kabab, Mutton Biriyani, Mutton Dahiwala and Nun Chicken Malai kabab was okay.. there was less of malai and more of cheese...but tastee good for a starter Biriyani : Though the biriyani was tasty but even after ordering the bigger one it was not sufficient for 2 people... though 4 pieces of mutton... Mutton dahiwala : example of overdoing... Put so much of cheese into it that it ruined the taste of th dish... Was almost unable to eat it... Cost : Way too costly... quantity is also not sufficient compared to cost of biriyani....

The place is beautiful , the interiors are great, the ambience is good. The food is average, I had heard a lot about the place but the biriyani was nothing very special. It is satisfactory but don't expect anything great.

The ambience and food is great but the biriyani could have been much better. The rice was a little spicy for my taste. Overall it was a lovely and wholesome experience!!!

Loved the recipes… every kebab was superb. We took kebab platter… and biriyani and firni and they were awesome

Definitely qualify as one of the gems of Park Street. So Kareem's (not to be confused with Old Delhi Jama Masjid Karim's) is located in the Mirza Ghalib street of Park Street just beside the Westside mall. There is an Arsalan just beside it. The place looks good but the ambience doesn't have a great vibe, nonetheless it is very well decorated. Let's talk about food, shall we? Not one menu item is below Rs. 250, hell of a price tag!! Anyways, Mutton biryani is a must if you are visiting. You can try the Peshwari kebab or the Malai kebab, heard they are quite good. The one thing I will recommend is Mutton Karachi. Ummmm! You can't imagine how good the mutton tastes, you get 4 jumbo pieces in a Karachi style gravy served with long stripes of ginger. It is the absolute best. Also try the Butter Cheese Garlic Naan, a very friendly bread option for any meat dish. I think I need to clarify things about the biryani. It has very less oil and is kind of dry, also the mutton pieces are average sized and not very soft. It's well cooked but don't just fall off like you see in other premium restaurants. I also tried Chicken Bhuna, which was also tasty. I will leave pictures for you to check. The staff behaviour is quite good. Some more things I need to say -- if you are ordering Biryani, raita is complimentary, so never be shamed to ask for more if you need so. And most importantly, they give you a Rs. 110 mineral water bottle at the table by default. You can choose not to have it. Man it's costly when it gets added to your bill.

I haven’t had the pleasure of visiting Kareem’s before, and after yesterday, all I’m thinking is what took me so long to experience this out-of-the-world Mughlai fine dining experience! Before I even come to the extravagant culinary experience we had, I think it will be an offence if I do not mention the spectacular décor and ambience; the grand theme with the chandelier and lighting emits a royal vibe about this this place. Coming to the menu, most Mughlai cuisine outlets have a standard menu of the familiar kebabs such as tikka kebab, tangdi kebab etc. So, we opted for a few of the starters which are not only new to our palate, but are also among Kareem’s signature dishes: 1) Butter Garlic Mushrooms: Idk why a lot of non-veg lovers have the notion that restaurant e eshe niramish khabo keno(Why should we order veg items while at a restaurant)….I disagree. Just because the item doesn’t contain meat/protein doesn’t mean it cannot taste mouth-watering good. And my opinion was confirmed by this starter; I’d say this is a must try for everyone who visits Kareem’s. 10-12 pieces of succulent button mushrooms grilled and tossed in butter garlic sauce: an absolute treat to the tastebuds 2) Chicken Peshawari Tikka: This is the best kebab we had yesterday. Six perfectly grilled portions of chicken tikka, covered in the in-house special spicy barbecue flavored mayo. The pieces had such a juicy interior and a saucy charred exterior, every bite we took felt like gastronomical bliss! Highly recommended 3) Chicken Potli Kebab: Another specialty of Kareem’s: ample amount of cashew and minced chicken filling inside a chunky, grilled chicken exterior. And boy! The size of these kebabs was as big as tennis balls! Very flavorful, very aromatic, equal attention was provided at both the chicken outside (the potli shell), and the chicken inside(stuffing). Masterpiece indeed! 4) Kareem’s Special Mutton Dum Biriyani: Very light, aromatic biriyani with four handsome mutton portions with potatoes and egg. What I loved more is the rice did not have any oily, greasy texture (actually I don’t prefer oily biriyani; ruins the taste in my opinion) 5) Butter naan: Butter naans have a tendency to become rubber naans in most restaurants. Thankfully at Kareem’s, the naans were very light and thin, and stayed crispy even after a while. Not to forget the generous drizzle of butter on each of them 6) Karachi Mutton: Four succulent mutton portions in a very rich gravy. This dish will go very very well with any bread(roti/kulcha/naan/paratha) 7) Shahi Tukda: A grand Mughlai course is incomplete without the dessert selections. This will be favorite for people who prefer bread-based desserts. And the top layer of condensed milk with saffron and almonds was very thick and smooth. An excellent choice for people with sweet tooth 8) Malai Firni: This was really different from any firni I had tasted before! While others had a light, grainy-paste like texture, the Malai Firni, as the name suggests, had malai infused in it, giving it a much decadent flavor with smoother, thicker consistency. Highly recommended 9) Drink: Watermelon mojito: A new take on virgin mojito. I’m not sure whether the taste was of watermelon or bubblegum flavor, but it was very refreshing One thing to note is Kareem’s has an excellent price-to-portion ratio. All the items were very satisfying in terms of both quality and quantity. Also, the staff at Kareem’s deserve applause, for their warm gestures and fast service. Special thanks to Mr. Priyaranjan Biswas for ensuring our starter, main course, dessert plates were changed at regular intervals, and he took special care of tending to my parents as well: a quality I highly respect and admire. From ambience to service to cuisine, I highly recommend Kareem’s to everyone at Kolkata. This place will surely make you fall in love with their food. I will be definitely visiting real soon in future.

•The kebab was moist,juicy and tender but it was a little bit salty, now that's not an issue since salt adjustment can differ from dish to dish! Anyway not saying it was bad, but it tasted somehow unique in a mediocre way! the pickled onions they gave was a treat though! try malai kebab,tikka kebab or potli kebab there, they have their own simple flavour profile! •We decided not to spoil anything about biryani check it out by yourself! But to sum it up, it was tender, flavorful, the pieces were succulent and we asked for extra aloo since there was one piece for two. They gave that and didn't even ask for extra cash for that in the bill slip, reason why you should tip someone! •Chicken lahori was good, the texture of the gravy was yum but we felt the chicken pieces were little bit stinky, we're not blaming since they have a very good reputation but we felt it for some reason but it wasn't that overpowering! •The raita and the tandoori roti we ordered(it isn't in the frame though) was standard in a good way, what can you say about raita and roti?😑 Anway a solid 8/10 experience, try it out if you're interested!

I visited this restaurant during Durga Puja . The restaurant is almost packed up. The food served was pritty good. Due to the rust there was a mismatch of the order taken by the waiter. Happens!!!! But we enjoyed the food as it was tasty and served hot 🔥 😋 Would recommend people to try 1. Mutton Biriyani 2. Kathi Roll 3. Firni

I heard a lot about this restaurant though it was not that good.We waited a long for food.We Ordered Mutton Dum Biriyani(3.1/5),Non Veg Kabab Platter(4.3/5),Firni(3.8/5),Butter Naan(3.5/5) and Lahori Chicken (4.0/5). Most bad thing I noticed that Restaurant gave us two normal 1lt water bottle and they charged Rs.240 for that(+plus tax)..like seriously???????(Costlier than Airport).. It's ridiculous😑😑😑😑😑 Ambience is just okay.

Kareems is a perfect place if you love to try uncommon dishes. Must try their chicken potli kebab and signature biriyani. Food was great except the gravy item, we felt the taste was not infused into the chicken pieces.

It was very crowded during the festive season. But the inside ambience is well suited for family. Staff is supportive and courteous. Food was good and reasonably priced. Do try out if you are in the area - you won't be disappointed. Lastly remember to book a table if you plan to visit here, otherwise you may have to wait in queue.

🔥Food quality - 8/10 🔥Ambience - 7/10 🔥Service- 2/10 📍The management is inadequate. 📍The manager's actions are directly from another world. 📍Waiting period that is unimaginable. 📍Starter: The taste of the Kabab Platter was excellent. 📍Mutton biryani is tasty and light, albeit the mutton pieces were a little firm because the food was served cold after a long wait. 📍The ambience is nice and cosy! 📍The salad had a fowl smell. PS: Reservations are strongly advised! Personal story: Ordered Biriyani and after 30 minutes and multiple requests, they said Biriyani was not available right now. Then ordered something else, which took another 30 minutes to pack!

Came for lunch. The ambiance is very welcoming and charming. We loved our mutton biryani which were amazing with lots of flavour, very impressive for a biryani lover. Hosts are very hospitable and wide range of delicious menu. Slightly overpriced for 2 people. We had to wait in line before getting a table, so the place is not that big on busy days. One thing we didn't liked, they charged for mineral water but the water never tasted like mineral water. It was like regular water was packed in a sealed bottle. Overall it's a wonderful restaurant to have a lunch or dinner with friends or family.

The potli kebabs are to die for! The mutton Karachi was so great! The place was crowded but the service was impeccable!

Seriously if you are looking for biriyani or kebabs and every other restraunts serving mughlai or authentic indian tandoors are full then only consider this place. As usual they are not Karim's Old Jama Masjid Wale they are Kareem's (its pescribed in their pay receipt as well) and rightly said they cant be. Overpriced kebabs, overpriced everything. How could someone expect a biriyani long grain rice to be short broken one. A platter of chicken kebab 9 pcs , 1 plate of shekh kebab and mutton biriyani will cost you around 1800 rs.Actualy I went there to have galoti kebab, but i was fortunate enough that they dint have (Then my bill would have been more). AT THIS PRICE OF A CHICKEN KEBAB PLATTER ITS BETTER TO HAVE A BUFFET ANYWHERE INSTEAD. IMPROVE AND STOP CUTTING POCKETS.

One of the best Biryani places in town. Should try Mutton Raan Biryani. Situated near park Street.

Undoubtedly the place is good, especially at the heart of Kolkata city. I really liked the ambiance, filled with mirrors which is unique. I have visited many restaurants but I was really surprised to see the simple yet unique piece of work they made. One thing to note is that it is Kareem's not Karim's (Delhi - Jama Masjid). They do not have any connection with Karim's (Delhi - Jama Masjid), the same also mentioned on their menu. Let me quickly go through what Karim's is so that everyone can relate. Karim's Hotel or Karim's is a historic restaurant located near Jama Masjid, Gali Kababian, Old Delhi, Delhi, India. Established in 1913, the restaurant has been described as "synonymous with this area" (Old Delhi) and "arguably the city's most famous culinary destination". Outside Delhi the first restaurant from Karim's came up in Kolkata, with the city now hosting three restaurants of the same. That's being said, it is worth mentioning that Kareem's do not have good packaging systems if something big such as "Kareem's Special Raan Biriyani". One plate of this special biriyani costs around 2300 INR yet the packaging they provide is not good enough to bring back to home. It would be appreciated if they improve their packaging for big plates so that food can be brought back home without any hassle. If someone is stuck at the same position, unable to handle the parcel then they can use Swiggy home delivery service.

This place serves Mughlai delicacies which will enhance your taste buds for a new experience.... The taste of each dish was truly different and extraordinary from any other restaurant, providing you a new experience.... Talking of ambience, this place has a modern atmosphere with a classical touch, whose aesthetics will make you feel the vibe of being in a modern Mughlai restaurant.... We tried their special Mutton Dum Biryani.... As mentioned before, the taste was different from other places and was truly awesome and marvellous.... Pocket pinch (per head): ₹500-700

Located beside Westside Park Street ,the place serves some quality Mughlai food. The kebabs here are one of the best in the city. I ordered Malai Kebab and it was soft and delicious. The biryani was okay as well. Quantity was good. The menu was huge even during the Pujas. Would visit again.

I would give 5 start rating but the potato in the biryani was half cooked and there was no egg 🥚 😏. Ordered mutton special biryani though the mutton pieces was very small. Still the biryani tasted delicious. I m gonna order again.

Today, I became a fan of Kareem's Biryani. We ordered chicken dum biryani, tandoori roti, Lahori chicken & trust me the food was awesome. Positives: 👍 Food Flavours - We just love what we ordered. It was so flavourful that you will love it. 👍 Food Quality - Best Negatives: 👎 Food Quantity - it will be not worth what you will pay. For an example, in their menu card chicken dum biryani was minimum 335 INR (half) & 435 INR (full). Within 335 food, there will be no egg, no potato. Within 435 food (what we ordered), we got an egg, a small potato & 4 small pieces of chicken & trust me the quantity was so limited that it cannot fulfill 2 person's tummy. If you compare, Arsalan is providing much quantity & quality food within the same budget. 👎 Food Price - You won't believe that a plain tandoori roti will cost you 50 bucks, and it is double that what Arsalan and Aminia used to charge you for the same. Every food items are over priced. 👎 Service - I won't say it as worst but it was average. What we faced, was that after completing our lunch we were provided wash bowls and after that it was almost 10-15 mins gone and we hadn't received/provided the bill yet. By meeting one of the waiters personally, they provided the bill, as we were about to pay that bill via UPI, no one to whom we could request to bring the QR code, was there around us for more that 10 mins. Again I met an waiter to bring that qr. They provided the same. After payment, we personally met them again to get the confirmation whether they received the payments. The whole payment process was too harrassing for us that we never faced such situation. We wanted to provide a good score to Kareem's but what we faced, we have explained throughout. These are completely my personal experience 🙂.

Service is good. The food is the best. Spending money is worth it. We had vegetarian food it was also too good. I just loved the food. Also the quantity is also amazing. I would suggest visiting here for sure.

This restaurant is a "must go " for lovers of mughlai cuisine. The interior is beautifully decorated in retro theme. Staffs are well behaved,service is very good. Now regarding the food ,taste is superb. Quantity of biriyani is sufficient for one person but not enough for sharing. Price is little high for some items. Only one thing that doesn't felt right to me,they are serving a bottle of water for INR110 . There should be a choice for customers. Otherwise everything good.

Food quality is average. You may not like their biryani if you are very much fond of Kolkata biryani. Amount of rice is less. However, ambience is good. Price is on the higher side.

Nice atmosphere....The food quality and quantity is also very good. Service is also nice, the waiter was very polite to us and his serving was very delicate. One thing bad is that you have to wait outside of the restaurant (if tables are full), but chairs are provided there.

Every dish was out of the world.... Peshwari Kebab and Lahori Chicken were best.... Biryani has its own taste here, different and lip smacking. Dessert section is good especially you can go for the Shahi Tukda, which is served cold here...

We went to Kareem's on a National holiday, and that's why it was a little busy. However, that didn't affect the quality of food in any way. We tried the Peshawari chicken kebabs, Chicken Biryani, and Lahori Chicken. The kebabs were the best I have ever tasted, the Biryani was more than enough for the three of us (we took two full-plate biryanis), the Lahori Chicken was tasty, but the chicken isn't the most fresh. But we had a wonderful experience, and the service is top notch. Absolutely loved the place, would surely visit again!

Great ambiance to visit with family. Fish malai kebab is next level fresh and how can someone forget the "Raan Biryani". It's absolutely delicious and juicy. The mutton pieces were next level soft. I have suggested all my friends and colleagues to cherish this delicacy.
