Inconsistent!
I became a fan of Kareem's since I had Chicken Reshmi at their Powai outlet and was necessarily elated spotting an outlet near my Malad residence. The joy was short-lived though - their biggest flaw being the inconsistency of the dishes.. The same dish tastes and looks different everytime I ordered. Moreover, on every occassion the "Chicken Reshmi" that i ordered was a far cry from what I had at their Powai restaurant.
I did not have the courage to order stuff from their menu which I am not familiar with.

Never Again
I visited Kareem’s on October 9th, 2008, (Dusshera) in the evening.
It was early, so we found a table easily.
We ordered a Fish Tikka Ajwaini, a chicken dish, a paneer dish, bhuna gosht, roti and some beverage.
We waited for our food for about 30 minutes before we decided to ask the waiter “how much longer” before our order is served. He scurried into the kitchen and didn’t return for a long time.
We then called another gentleman, who we figured was the manager, and asked him the same question and as if he already knew the question, he said in another 5 minutes. I then asked him that normally restaurants serve light snacks like papad etc while we wait for the food and that if they serve anything like that here. He said yes and sent us all of 3 papads for a table of 4!!!
Later, by the time the food eventually arrived, it was close to 45 minutes after placing the order!
Commentary on the food: Roti, passable and for Rs. 23.00, whopping expensive
Chicken Mehti: The chicken didn’t taste like it was marinated right or cooked in the same gravy. There was something missing.
The paneer just had 3 pieces of paneer and charged at about Rs.160.00 (or something!)
The Bhuna Gost Roll probably was the only item that did any justice and it was relished by my friend.
The biggest disappointment was the Fish Tikka. After consuming 1 piece, I realised that it was absolutely raw inside and absolutely unacceptable.
Of course we raised the complaint to the manager immediately who came up to my table, picked up a fork from another table and checked the morsel on my plate itself before confirming that the fish was indeed undercooked. He offered to change the plate and send us another plate of Tikkas, we politely declined.
We paid our bill, (the Tikka’s wasn’t charged, appreciate that) and left. Oddly, one of the waiters came to us asking me for my name and phone number in case somebody wanted to contact me regarding the Fish that wasn’t charged.
This was the second time that I visited Kareem’s for a meal. I knew that this was a grossly overpriced place for the quality it served. I had hoped that things would have changed over the last few months. This experience proved otherwise.
Overall, a disappointing experience. The ambience was laid low with the music. They played only Kandisa over and over again. The cutlery was difficult to handle especially when you are eating non-vegetarian. The glasses didn’t quite suit the overall expectation.
The price of the dishes was expensive if you consider the quality and quantity.
Of course the service was waaaaay below expectation.
Never again!

AWFUL FOOD & SERVICE
Had a good experience the first time i went here, but the second time was a disaster, very bad service, food was blant, chicken was not cooked properly....
If you more than 5 ppl, please dont dare to go here, as the waiter will have no idea what you have ordered, let me just coke or a fresh lime....
And the best part is if you have done a booking, dont even think that you will be getting the table as they have no clue abt it...
And last but not the least, please dont forget to check the Bill, as there was stuff which we asked for but we never got it, but yeh it was billed for sure.....!

Not worth it.
I visited this place with my friends on a Friday evening. The ambience was good. The place was not crowded at all.
We ordered for starters (veg & non-veg ) and the main course (veg & non-veg ) .
The service was not up to the mark. We needed to remind them to get our order. The starters arrived after the main course. The waiter was serving as if he is doing some kind of a formality just for the sake of serving.
The food was quite less in quantity as compared to the price.
Starters + Main Course costed us around Rs 1600.
All i could say is " Not worth it " ........ " Naam Bade Darshan Chote " .

Good Experience
the first thing you notice about kareem's is its gorgeous interiors and ambience.and for me ambience is one of the most important factors which go on to decide if the restaurant gets a thumbs up or not and kareem's certainly gets two thumbs up !!
the other brownie point is its open kitchen....watch your kebab being made right in front of you !
so onto the food first we ordered for a veg.platter which was really very filling.
next to the the main course and the paneer makhani was awesome....so soft was the paneer ! i had heard a lot about taftan and so i went on to order those and i found it so delicious that i went on to order another 2 !!
finally we ordered the malai phirni and frankly speaking it was a complete and i mean a complete letdown ! it was more of a kheer than phirni.
the service was good and the waiters were very friendly and the prices were moderate.
so all in all a good experience !
