Karims Food Plaza

Recently visited Karims situated at India Islamic Cultural Centre at Lodhi Road. This is a clean and uncluttered upmarket (in comparison to othe restaurants of Karims) outlet with simplistic decor. Menu is typically Mughlai cuisine with major bias towards non-vegetarian dishes. What we ordered with my ratings out of 5 points....

Mutton Soup - 1 out of 5 - Flavour less hot salted water with added cream and few pieces of chewy Mutton

Mutton Shami Kabab - 4 out of 5 - One of the best in Delhi. Without much of added chana dal and with a prominent texture as well as taste of Mutton

Mutton Seekh Kabab - 4 out of 5 - Made with hand made Mutton keema with rough texture. A little too much fat but it's fine for a robust real seekh Kabab. If you like the creamy melt in mouth kakori type Kabab.... tgen this isn't for you

Mutton Keema - 5 out of 5 - Absolutely a winner dish. Hand made chunky mutton keema made with TEEN MIRCHI (Three types of chillies).... Black Pepper, Green Chilli and Red Chillies. Flavourful and juicy. Must have.

Mutton Nihari - 4 out of 5 - We requested for a small tasting portion and it's absolutely made to the point. Soft mutton and thick flavourful curry. Perfect combination

Khamiri Roti - 4 out of 5 - I've had better at other places but this wasn't any less.

Phirni - 0 out of 5 - Probably our biggest mistake to order this inedible mix of rice flour and minimalistic sugar.... it had no flavour, no aroma and no taste either. If that wasn't enough.... it had acquired excessive smell from the earthen pot it was served in.... Absolutely Avoidable.

memories of the great Karim's failed a bit with this visit. the sheekh was average, haleem rather disappointing and the ribs smelled of fish. nihari and khameeri roti was the saving grace.

service needs to be fixed. if you are open for all day dining, get two sets of personnel to work or tell them to get their act together. unfocused, tired, slow and seemed annoyed that we were there.

This is the best located authentic Karim's, with a full menu and till now each preparation i have tried has been amazing.
One add on is dont miss ordering the tea at the end of meal.
