    I've been to Naples many times, but this was our first time finding this spot. It did not disappoint. The food was amazing. I ordered the Beirut platter and couldn't have been happier with it. A definite recommendation while in Naples, Fl

    Second visit here. First was 4/5, this one is just 3/5. Food was tasty, and well presented. Main course was not hot, more like lukewarm… nonetheless still flavorful. Service was a bit delayed this time. When asked to not retrieve the appetizer platter (after bringing main course). Server and assistant didn’t acknowledge and proceeded to take it away. Water service was awful (did order wine as well). Let’s talk bread — it was delicious, but if you order the chefs sampler platter, you need two rounds … asked for a second one, and totally ignored (Perhaps they should charge for it? I would’ve gladly paid for it!!). Main course with the lamb chops, could’ve been better temperature wise. Even though it was nice to not feel rushed out of the restaurant, there is room for improvement on the servers side — you can’t just disappear and abandon tables for too long of a time. Most likely an understaffed evening, with maybe two servers and two assistants.

    Probably in my top 3 for best places to dine in Naples! This place is PHENOMENAL 🤤! I cant remember the name of the appetizer we ordered, but it was some smorgasbord of everything Lebanese. Lots of different flavors and textures. I ordered the half chicken for my entree. I believe it was one of the most popular if not THE most popular dishes that is ordered. It was absolutely incredible. Seasoned and grilled to perfection ♨️. Crispy, perfect char and moist. Was some of the best chicken I've ever had honestly. We cant wait to go back here. Has a great story behind it too. You cant go wrong with, Kareems 👌. Easy 5 stars here. And dont forget dessert!

    On a weekend getaway to beautiful Naples FL, I was fortunate to enjoy one of the most memorable dining experiences at Kareem's Lebanese Kitchen. From the moment I was greeted at the door until the last bite of delicious food, I enjoyed a 5-star experience. The service was friendly yet professional. The atmosphere was relaxed yet classy. And the food was out of this world. The highlight of my meal was the Chef's Lamb Mouzat presented by the chef himself. The lamb shank was the most tender, flavorful delite I had ever eaten. Braised with tomatoes, potatoes, artichoke, and onion pearls, this succulent dish will bring me back to Naples again and again.

    This is one of the most delicious restaurants. The food here is extremely flavorful and everything from the hummus to the rice to the lamb and much more was the best. The service was all extremely quick, friendly, and it was one of the best parts of the experience. The chef also comes out of the kitchen to present the food and the manager was very accommodating. Kareem’s was definitely worth the visit and it is highly recommended if you ever visit Naples.

    My husband and I had a really good meal at Kareem’s after being seated a little last minute. Miguel was good. He was happy to let us eat and welcomed us even though we were there right before close. I ordered the chicken and my husband ordered the lamb skewers. I felt really good after our meal, not too heavy, seasoned well and cooked to perfection. You can tell the ingredients are quality. I will go there again for a nice meal w it h my husband.

    What a treat!! My husband and I were looking for a light lunch, vegetarian for my husband to take a break from meats. Kareem 's was the perfect choice. We both had samplers that met and exceeded our expectations. The portions were very generous and everything on the sampler was delicious, with a medley of flavors, textures and colors that enhanced each other to perfection . The warm just -made pitas were perfect to eat with the hummus, tahini, babaganoush, and more Highly recommend.

    We were looking at Non Indian options but Halal as well. So searches yield to this Gem. We also wanted it to be special because it was my Son's 20th birthday. He is all about protein and thus we couldn't go wrong if place is meat galore. Order dragon meat platter its not mentioned in the menu, it will cater to 5 to 7 ppl and you will thank me later. Had opportunity to meet Chef Rachid, very positive personality which also vibes in the food he prepares. Our server Michelle was very meticulous in tending our needs throughout our meal and made some good recommendations.

    The starter bread and oil are yummy. The bulgar that came with my mixed grill was exceptional, the meats were all good but not memorable. Very nice service.

    Extremely authentic food. Full of spices and variety of tastes. Finally found some fantastic food in Naples. I would say this is the only authentic and excellent tasting Kabob in the area. Don’t even try other places, I already did for you!

    We are visiting Naples and wanted some authentic middle eastern food and this is what I found! A hidden gem! From service to food everything was amazing! The chef even came and made sure everything was okay and took a picture with my boys! We ordered a bunch of different items off the menu and definitely don’t regret anything! It was delicious, portions were perfect and the seasonings were just right! Michele was our waitress and she was the sweetest and so attentive! I can’t wait to visit Naples again so I can bring my family here! Definitely 10/10

    Best baklava I’ve had outside of Greece! It’s light and flaky, not heavily soaked with honey but certainly sweet enough. Lamb shank was tender and flavorful, but small for the price. Would also preferred less potatoes and more tomatoes. Beruti platter is beautifully presented and my favorite is the stuffed grape leave and the garlic dipping. All hummus are tasty.

    Came from Fort Lauderdale, first time trying this halal Lebanese spot and it was just amazing. Great customer service. The lady who sat us, Michelle was very cordial and the owner, Rashid was very pleasant and made sure we liked the food. We had the delicious hummus, baba ganoush with the freshly baked hot bread. Our dinner was simply delicious. We had the mixed kak9b platter and every meat there was perfectly cooked. The beef shawarma was also superb 😋. We were so satisfied and full. Definitely coming back next time we're in Naples. Highly recommend!!

    Kareem’s is a Simple clean & relatively easy going place to quickly enjoy Lebanese food if you are nearby Naples. Miguel gave us a superb service. the kids food came with unnecessary spices and the adult Father’s Day meat kabob food wasn’t flavorful and it was very little food for the price we paid for it.

    93/100: I recently visited Kareem's Lebanese Kitchen with family and friends and was impressed with the experience. The place was clean and the restaurant had a beautiful, cozy atmosphere. While the service was a bit slow due to an inexperienced server, the food was delivered in a timely manner and tasted absolutely delicious. I highly recommend trying the garlic hummus, and the trio signature. In addition, you can ask for any hummus with any meat, just talk to your server for more information. We had beef and chicken shawarma, falafel, kibbeh and moussaka. Try the lemonade, it is special. The Beruti platter was presented beautifully and offered a diverse range of flavors. All Hummus are recommended. Overall, I would highly recommend Kareem's Lebanese Kitchen for its delicious food, cozy atmosphere, and excellent baklava. It's a great spot for a meal with family or friends.

    Kareem’s is amazing…been there several times never disappointed. Legit best pita bread I’ve ever had. The chicken kabobs are so moist and delicious.

    Best place I have been to in South West Florida. The chicken was very tender and flavorful. The mixed hummus appetizer plate was absolutely delicious. Would definitely visit again if I get the chance

  • 3/5 Bodescu G. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was okay. Service could be better. We went at noon and there was only 1 server who kinda got slammed and forgot about us. The mix platter we got was good. Their pita bread is amazing. Most of the items on the platter were very spicy. The beef and the chicken shawarma was okay, but I feel like it was dry. It needed some sauce. No idea, mayo, tzatziki, something. It felt like it was getting stuck on the way down with the condiments on the fries. Will try it again.

    My boyfriend and I rarely have date night because we both have children and busy lives! I was so happy we took a chance on this restaurant! Great ambiance and you could smell the delicious food cooking when you walk in the door! Our server was Joseph and he was wonderful too! The food was so well prepared especially Baba Ganhoush which is one of my favorites and haven’t found a restaurant that knows how to do it justice till now! Highly recommend you try this place!!!!

  • 5/5 Nour S. 1 year ago on Google
    Hands down the best shawarma I've had in south Florida and I know a great shawarma when I have it. Not only the that, the entire experience was flawless. Loved the everything about the food and the hospitality. Our waitress was super friendly and attentive, the chef seemed friendly as well. This place was so good that I'm coming to Naples specially to have it again!

    My family and I had a wonderful dining experience, enjoying well executed Lebanese food. It was insanely delicious, rich with spices, and well presented. Our server Cesar explained the dishes in detail and gave us good recommendations. The Lebanese bread along with olive oil and Zaa’tar was amazing, the Seabass was fresh and flavorful, the Chicken Farrouj was tender and melted in your mouth with its spices, the mix grilled Mashawi (chicken kebabs, beef kebabs and lamb chop) was extraordinarily cooked. We ended off the night with a special Lebanese wine, Beiruti Qatayef, and a full stomach. The experience was so good that Chef Rachid introduced himself and we exchanged our thoughts about his food, congratulating him on these dishes, and promising that we will be coming back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    I dined at Kareems last night 11/13 for my birthday. TLDR: Its amazing, must try in Naples. I made a reservation for a party of 4 for 6pm. But to my surprise when we arrived at the restaurant there were hardly any patrons. The staff was very attentive and information the whole dinner. They held the door open for my party as we walked with and throughly explained the menu. Shout out to our server Shaha (can't remember for sure but that is what the check shows) for taking amazing care of us. He made wonder recommendations, was professional and tined the dinner perfectly. We started with 2 appetizers - Hummus and Arayes. I'm very particular about hummus and the server assured me that everything was made in house. - the hummus was very good, creamy, had a great balance of oil, tahini and whole chickpeas. - The pita bread was out of this world. The bread is served steaming hot and it light and airy. - The pita is also served with olive oil and zaatar. While I prefer the hummus this isn't a bad way to go. - The Arayes is like a bread bread with minced meat and garnished with pickles. The taste was amazing my only complaint was that because of the fattiness of the meat it causes the bread to lose its crisp. Main courses: Everyone was impressed with their entress. From the taste to the plate presentation the mains were on point. - I had the mixed kebabs. they give you an assortment of kebabs and even a lamb lollipop. All the meats were tender and juicy. The lamb lollipop was my favorite. The fattiness and seasoning were perfect. The rice was extremely fluffy. - I also tried the Ovzi. A lamb dish with rice, grape leaves and nuts. This is an extremely filling dish so be prepared to have extras. The lamb was fork tender, the nuts gave it a crunch and the pomegranate molasses and yogurt sauce bring it home. Dessert Because it was my birthday they offered a complimentary chocolate lava cake. This was 1 of 3 desserts they have on the menu. Im not a huge chocolate fan but I throughly explained the desert. The cake is made of dark chocolate and it oozes chocolate. The other dessert that we ordered was the Qatayef. Dummbed down it's like 2 pancakes that stuffed with cheese and topped with syrup and rosewater. It is served hot and if you have a sweet tooth this is a great way to finish off the meal. All in all this restaurant is a must. From the atmosphere, to the service, to the food it's top notch.
