This was the most delicious and authentic Mughlai food I have ever had. The khaboos was so soft that it felt like eating a cloud. The Changesi and Jhangiri chicken were so tasty. The difference flavours were just out of the world. Every bite felt so fulfilling. The egg curry was perfectly paired with the plain rice. The Kheer was just the perfect dessert to bring the heavenly experience to an end. And the staff was very polite and helpful. I have been going here since I was a kid because it has always been a constant in my life because of its authenticity.
It was my first visit to Jama masjid and Karims made it memorable forever.

These places are always crowded but kabab at Karim's is very tasty and the wait is totally worth jt. Its the oldest kabab joint in town and serves delicious kababs. If you're confused what to order just ask anyone passing by Karim's they'll tell you what its famous for. Dilli ae aur chicken nahi khae to kaise chalega?
Karim - naam hi kafi hai ... non veg lovers - this place is a paradise for you . Biryani , muttton , chicken either it’s tandoori Orr gravy item - it’s finger licking delicious .
Place is overcrowded . You have to wait in queue to taste amazing food
Even after staying in Delhi, I visited Karim's Hotel for the first time in December last year with one of my cousins and my experience was awesome i just love karim's mutton korma is too yumm with tasty khamiri roti and mouthwatering kheer
One of the best non veg restaurants in this region. This is one of the best and oldest restaurants near Delhi Jame Masjid. Here you can find every dish very well cooked in its real taste. The food is not spicy and good for people who doesn't eat spicy food. The mutton is juicy and succulent and the breads are fluffy. However, some items like boti kebab, rolls are only served in the evening.Honestly at first I was gonna go back seeing too many people but I stayed and absolutely was worth it. Best part is they are open late night sometimes.
I love this place. I have tried chicken for the very first time and i just love it. Kebabs were so good and the chicken jhangiri 😋. I don't think so would get food like this anywhere else. Thank you for a delicious meal.
A legendary place to eat muglai food in Delhi, must eat once in life
No any words can give the justice of karim's taste.
Taste was amazing Awesome food and authentic cuisines. Little pricey but the quantity and taste offsets that.
A perfect place for non-vegetarian or mughlai food lovers....
They have almost every mughlai dish on the menu. I have tried chicken nahari, chicken changezi and seekh kabab. The dishes were quite good and the service was above average. It is crowded most of the time so you have to wait to get seated.
Service 5/4
Food 5/4
Ambience 5/3
This is my first time i eat chicken kabab. From my side i don't like this kabab because of my first time😂 from that day to today I don't eat kabab😂😂
Though it is located in a very crowded space but they have a prompt service.
We had the chicken biryani.
It was outstanding.
The proper muslim hand's made biryani.
Quantity was easily shared by three of us.
Cleaniness was also maintained.
A must visit.
Karims is my favourite place for mughlai food 🥘. I ordered many thing there but the kababs was the best. The food was extremely delicious. Great ambience and service. Must visit
A great place for Mughlai lovers. They have almost every Mughlai dish on the menu, and you're spoilt for choice. I have tried chicken jahangiri, nithari, keema man and some other dishes. The dishes are top notch, and the service is above average. It is crowded most of the time, so you may have to wait to get seated.
Cleanliness and hygiene are reasonable, by old Delhi standards. Use the metro to reach here, don't even think of bringing your car. Crowd is a bit conservative, but I went with my girlfriend, and no one bothers you there.
If you want a better ambience, you can try one of their multiple outlets scattered throughout Delhi.
Best Place to taste North Indian Non-Veg Cuisine. Every dish has unique taste. Very fast serving of food. Waiter is also good. But Not recommendable for South peoples because NO CHILLY(Karam)in dishes.
Great food and service, would highly recommend...Went there on mothering Sunday... Everything perfect. Such friendly staff loved the vibes and the nearby places
Karim's in Jama Masjid is one of the most iconic eateries in Old Dilli. Established in 1913, Karim's is ever packed and boasts of serving lip smacking meat dishes, meat in particular - to it's customers. Grab a plate of romali rotis, some mutton kebabs and kadi! Must try if you're in Delhi!
Nihari here before 12 is much appreciable
Best nihari and Delhi and mutton broast waaah amazing
Check it out this place if you literally eat something mindblowing
This is my favourite place for mughlai food. I ordered chicken and mutton seekh kebab, mutton barra, tandoori fish, chicken curry and mutton curry. The food was extremely delicious. Tandoori fish was juicy, crispy and had ultimate taste. It’s highly recommended for fish lovers. Seekh kebabs were soft and main course dishes were delicious. Chutney they serve is very spicy and tasty. It adds additional taste to the dishes.
Highly recommended
Taste: 5/5
Place: 4/5
Value for money: 5/5
Service: 5/5
Wow! Nearly brought to tears! Beautiful food and service
Came here on a self guided old Delhi street food tour and didn’t disappoint - tasty chicken and lamb seekh kebabs and paneer roll
Let me tell about the food - it is just mindblowing. From the appetizers to the mains to the desserts, it was a fantabulous experience. Must try - Murgh Seekh Kebabs with roomali, chicken jehangiri, mutton korma, shahi tukda.
I will definitely visit again.
Visited this place during Delhi vacation to try out their different dishes. We tried chicken tandoori with mutton and chicken for the main course. Taste was on the milder side. Not that spicy at all. Chicken and mutton was fresh and tasty.
Wowwww... Karim's never disappoint foodie . All the food items were just excellent. Loved mutton and chicken items . Specially chicken tandoori. It's a must visit place in Delhi. I would recommend all good loves to visit this place again and again. Looking forward for my next visit
This is place near jama masjid
The very old place in khau galli of jama masjid
I tried their chicken korma
It was so much tasty
I loved it
Spicy gravy with roti that combination still mouthwatering 😍..
Want to go here again
They have big sitting arrangements
This is best option for non veg lovers..
Have been to the place multiple time and have always enjoyed mutton korma which is next level.
Barrah kebab was jus an add on to the entire menu.
Must try Seekh Kebab, i bet you cant stop eating.
Heard a lot about it and was on a wish list to visit and try delicacies at Karim's. People always suggested to try only its Jama Masjjid's outlet, the original one. So, finally visited them, and tried mutton baraa, and the rogan josh. Barra was really excellent... will return to try more items on the next visit..
Last night after eating this delicious and mouth watering meal. I could not stop thinking about it
The best place to eat in delhi- 6
"The nourishment has been hailed as truly outstanding in Delhi. Be that as it may, I thought that it was average. There was a lot of oil around the korma. The nourishment was completely ordinary. There are a ton of spots in Delhi where you can discover more delicious nourishment than Karim's.
Absolutely not worth the hype."
Nice Rich Gravy food full of spices and typical old delhi taste .However they have lots of oil floating which personally i not liked . Phirni was superb . Chicken Bharra and stew was delicious and kebabs are so so
Good place to enjoy gravy items nearby Jama Masjid 😊
My first visit to Karim’s but surely not the last. Have got food delivered to home from the branch in south delhi multiple times but going to the original Jama Mazjid one was a revelation of sorts. Had the most amazing food, whatever we ordered was delicious to the last bite. It was a complete gastronomic experience..
We ordered the Seekh kebabs, mutton korma, mutton stew, n kheema with khameeri rotis. Each and every dish was out of the world.
The sheekh were so moist n bursting with flavours. Have not had better sheekh kebabs in a long time.
The mutton korma was unbelievably tasty. Loved every bite of it.
Khameeri roti was outstanding. Goes do well with this type of food.
Kheema was delicious. A bit too much of oil that we had to remove but outstanding it was.
Didn’t like the mutton stew much.
It was a magical evening. Loved the experience of going to Jama Mazjid. Though I grew up there but haven’t got a chance to visit in almost 4 decades.
Aaj ka #dinner famous JAMA masjid wale #karims ka #chicken. #chickentikka #tandoorichicken #rumaliroti . They really really serves the one of the best chicken in delhi. I can eat there chicken anything any day. Karims ka chicken nai khaya toh kya hi khaya❤😍
Went there with my cousin a couple of days ago. Had to wait 30 minutes to get a seat as it's always full.
We ordered chicken seekh, mutton seekh in the starters. Both were delicious especially mutton seekh.
After that we ordered mutton korma and rumali roti. The mutton korma was without a doubt the highlight of our lunch.
We enjoyed the food so much that we didn't even bother to click pictures 😜. Will come here again sometime in the future and try their biryani as well.
Highly recommended
One of oldest, best and hygienical place for mughlai food in Jama masjid area. You might have to wait for setting but it's worth. Keema, bheja fry and biryani must have.
We had this keema naan at karims and really it was delicious. Totally recommended as the flavours were up to the point.
One of the most famous outlet in jama masjid.
the taste of food was amazing😍
.
.
overall had a great experience 😍
Delicious biriyani....enjoyed a lot😋😊👍
Karim's is a well known brand in Delhi and this one is the root of all the Karim's hotel chain.
Locating Karim's can be a bit tricky, it's entrance is a narrow lane.
There are four to five clustered restaurant within the location.
Seating is ample but due to huge demand one may need to share the table with other customers. But it's worth the effort.
Cusines to try:
Mutton Korma
Chicken Burra
Chicken Stew
There are variety of mughlai cusines on the menu.
If you are an adherent fan of mughlai delicacies, Karim's is a must visit icon in Old Delhi.
Ahaa!! Finally back on writing mode. Ok 👌 been to ages old jama masjid karims. I would like to share some fact you can visit them for breakfast as well. They will fresh yummy 😋 mutton nihari and mutton paya only. Tasted 👅 them. I can fresh aroma of masala everywhere
The rolls in this restaurant has great taste, has lovely spices in it. My personal favourites are their sheeks and kababs and it is pocket friendly as well.
The food we ordered was just yumm.... We ordered a chicken starter, chicken gravy with Naan and Karim Mutton roll. Everything was served nice and hot and tasted amazing. The place truly lived to its name.
The place is moderately priced. Obviously the location that it is at you wouldn’t really talk of the ambience cauz there is close to none, but who cares. The food makes up for it. Surely highly recommended place.
If you like non vegetarian food then you should definitely try this place. The famous items of this place are kababs, Mutton nihari ,chicken korma and tandoori khamiri roti .All the dishes are very palatable. It is a hot spot for the foreigners as well.
The best family restaurant in delhi for shahi chiken and mutton. Best dishes chicken shahjahani , chiken jahangiri , mutton mughlai ♥️♥️. Once you come in chandani chowk you must come in karim’s ♥️♥️
Karims yes it’s a brand anyone who have heard of Jama Masjid food relates to karims
The place is not on the Main Street where other restaurants are. But still you can easily locate.
The place has best seekh kababs - it’s juicy tender and very well marinated the cooked
But overall I feel this place is little exorbitant.
The service was also sluggish due to high rush of people
Price 2/5
Food 4/5
Ambiance 3/5
I would say they are other equal good restaurant in that area offering food and service at a better price.
Its a must visit resturant in old delhi if you want to have non veg .Karim's has been one of my favourite to have Non veg what I love the most is Chiken Korma and Chicken Jahangiri with khameeri Roti .
Its a best place to have Authentic Mughlai they have veg menu as well. Ambience is average but food is yum
This place is legendary. The raan is unmatched. Hot fresh roti, mutton curry, chicken burrah. You name it
Karim Hotel is famous for its extremely tasty Non Veg food and it surely stands true to its fame. The food was very extremely tasty and didn't disappoint me at all. I ordered the Mutton Seekh Kebab and it was easily the best seekh kebab I had ever had till date. A must have dish at a must visit restaurant!
Legendary place in Delhi which shouldn't be missed. Take few hours out, be ready to wait for 20 minutes (at least) in que and then bank on your luck for a waiter to come.
Once he's there without thinking (and reading) much place an order for kebabs and mutton chops.
Don't have main course and desserts here.
When visiting Delhi, real Mughlai cuisine is a must. The atmosphere was serene, filled with aromas and cheerful smiles. Despite the long wait, no one appeared exhausted, annoyed, or irritated. The meal is wonderful and one-of-a-
kind. Aside from Qorma, Naan, and Seekh
Kebab, one should order the Barra,
which comes in both chicken and
mutton varieties. The service was excellent, and I would strongly advise you not to miss this restaurant under any circumstances.
Try the Phirni or Kheer. Not too sweet... and what a way to end the meal! Looking forward to visit this place again.
If you’re coming to Delhi, you must visit Karim’s. If you’re there, you must order mutton korma, mutton, stew , mutton Nihari and mutton burra is must. The quality of mutton is amazing. Mutton melt in your mouth. It’s so fabulous too tasty.
Chicken biryani is not good.
If you're looking for an authentic experience while in Old Delhi, then you should definitely check out Karim Hotel. I recently visited the restaurant and had high expectations, but was blown away by what I found. The mutton kabab was delicious, the bread and gravies were excellent, and the butter chicken was outstanding. The only downside was the service, as the staff were a bit rude and impatient. But that minor hiccup was in no way a reflection of the food, which was a real treat from start to finish. Plus the open kitchen at Karim Hotel gave an excellent insight into traditional Old Delhi cuisine. Highly recommend Karim Hotel if you're in the area.
Indulged in mutton korma, mutton stew, mutton seekh kabab, and kheer – incredibly flavorful! Tender meat with a rich, fatty gravy, and generous portion sizes. A must-try when you visit / are near Jama Masjid!
The food here is, needless to say absolutely amazing. The quantity is though less, but enough for everyone to finish. Prices are okay too considering the enormous amount of flavour in these foods.
We had mutton qorma, mutton keema, mutton seekh kebab, 2 rotis and a sheermal. We are definitely mutton fans, preferring the red juicy meat any day over chicken.
There are a lot of bengali speaking workers here too, which is not surprising but rather pleasant.
They serve a green, spicy and tangy diluted chutney with onions to go with the other dishes.
The place and it's food is in high demand, inviting people from all over the country as well as foreigners who want to take delight in local mughlai cuisine and culture. The waiting time, though there is, doesn't take much long. You share a table with another family. It's all good, people are decent.
A must visit place for connoisseurs of mughlai food. The age old tradition of cooking authentic Mughalai food is maintained.
Please be ready to travel through the streets of old delhi, and sit in the place which has gone on for over a century.
Enjoy the food
Oaw! Excellent tasty food they have.
You need a nice combination among of their foods. So, don't hesitate to get suggestions from waiters otherwise you will regret.
A little bit expensive that hotel from my perspective compared to Delhi's food expenses.
However taste was fabulous.
This place needs no introduction, a visit to chandani chauk/ Jama Masjid is incomplete for a non-vegetarian if they do not eat at karims. This was my second visit to karims but after 13 long years, and what was the good part and sadly the bad one as well was that nothing there has changed. The food is good, it’s a non vegetarians heaven, but not a place where a vegetarian would like to eat. I personally was a bit taken aback by the lack of hygiene. The smell was overwhelming to bear, hence I just picked up a mutton sheekh roll for the sake of having come so far.
The place without a doubt is iconic for innumerable reasons, however , i personally was a bit disappointed.
Karim's Hotel in Old Delhi is a true gem that has been delighting taste buds for over a century. This culinary institution serves up exceptional Mughlai cuisine and a variety of tantalizing non-vegetarian dishes. Tucked away in a quaint street, it effortlessly transports you to a bygone era, making every visit a journey through history.

I recently dined at Karim's Hotel, and it was an extraordinary food experience. The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the roti, mutton korma and mutton nahari, which were, without a doubt, the best I've ever had in my life. Yes, it might be a bit on the expensive side, but every bite was worth every penny.
Karim's Hotel offers a truly authentic and well-prepared menu that pays homage to its rich culinary heritage. The flavors are a testament to their dedication to preserving traditional recipes. I was truly impressed with the quality and taste of their dishes.
The mutton korma was out of this world, and the mutton nihari was a symphony of flavors, beautifully enhanced by the rich and aromatic spices used. It's evident that their chefs have mastered the art of creating exquisite dishes that leave a lasting impression.
What's even more fascinating is the historical connection - knowing that their ancestors were part of the Mughal royal kitchen adds a layer of charm and authenticity to the dining experience. This lineage shines through in every dish they serve.
In conclusion, Karim's Hotel is a culinary gem that I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience. Yes, it might be a bit pricey, but the quality, authenticity, and flavors of their dishes make it an absolute must-try. I'll definitely be returning to savor more of their incredible cuisine. Hats off to Karim's Hotel for serving such amazing food!
For taste I would rate it 5 stars 🤩....the taste of the food was awesome... especially the nahari and rumali roti, was beyond something 🤤so tasty,so delicious...and kheer is a must try....but the biryani was not upto the mark...but rest all was just awesome 😋
The biryani was pretty disappointing by both taste and quantity. A full plate biryani with 4 pieces mutton, costs over 600/- but the quantity was not even enough for one grown up. The kebab was good with nun. The pocket pinch was heavy comparing to the food we took. It was nearly 2000/- for three yet not satisfied.
Food is authentic however way too much oily
So if you wanna enjoy authentic food, you may try here but then keep health out of the equation.
Service is super fast and food taste is great
The best khamiri roti and mutton nahari I've ever had in my life. It is a bit expensive but totally worth it, must try, I would definitely recommend it. The food is very authentic and well prepared. Hats off for such amazing food
Being an mutton lover it's one of the main reason to visit Delhi .. we went there on 27th October 2023 for the first time .. the smell we were getting as we entered ahhhh 😍😍😍😍 .. The perfect Nehari they made .. have tried so many Karim's branches in Kolkata none of them make the perfect Nehari ... what can I say about the Mutton sheek kebab .. it's so so so soft that you don't even have to chew ... biriyani kheer everything is just so perfect .. the mutton was extremely juicy.. perfectly tendered ... I want to visit again again ... To all the meat lovers do visit Karim's hotel pvt ltd in Delhi Jama masjid branch must .. ❤️❤️❤️... It's just perfect.. I can't explain how happy our tummy was .. I still can't get out of Nehari and Sheek kebab 😋😋😋😋😋... so yammy it was .... 😋😋😋😋
I like chicken tikka and butter chicken curry.
It was nice to visit.
I visited at noon Saturday. Many people having lunch here.
I visited Karim’s after watching it on different TV shows and knowing that their chef come from the family of royal chefs. I had Chicken Jahangiri, it didn’t disappoint at all and was the best mughlai dish I had. The rumali roti wasn’t that great but the biryani compensated for it. I like how they make their dishes in pure ghee since that adds more flavor to the food. Its a tiny place but is surely worth visiting especially when you’re at/near Jama Masjid, its only few minutes walk from the masjid. There are a lot of similar options around but I’m sure this one serves authentic mughlai food that the emperors used to eat!

Karim located in Old Delhi is a famous mughlai food restaurant operating since 1913. They are famous for their tandoori dishes and their specialty is non veg items. The biryani here was ok 👌 however I must say their tandoori roti and chicken stew was something that i hadn't tasted before. The taste was so unique and new and tasty 😋🤤 . Chicken stew can be this tasty! It was unimaginable. And the roti itself was something you can eat it without any accompaniment . Their biryani portion was huge enough for too people because they give you good meat portions and one egg cut in halves. Their chicken burma ( some sort of tandoori- not sure of the spelling) is also pretty good and a famous item here. Overall it's a good experience and it's worth the hype. The restaurant is totally packed all throughout the day .
They don't accept upi payment ( in our visit they had said so) so either carry cash or card.
The place is inside an ally and it was a bit difficult to locate it at first, but the locals were helpful and you can ask anybody for the exact location ( opposite to jama masjid)
