" Had a wonderful lunch here! The food was heavenly, especially the dal makhani. It's refreshing to find a restaurant that serves authentic Pakistani flavors. The garlic naan was fresh and soft, making it easy to enjoy with the dal. The environment is casual and clean, making it a nice spot for lunch. I’ll be recommending this to all my coworkers as a go-to lunch spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious and fulfilling dinner experience! I ordered the mixed platter, and it had an amazing variety of flavors. Each item tasted fresh and authentic. Although the restaurant could be a bit more lively, it suited the casual dining vibe. Would love to try their lunch offerings next! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited after hearing numerous praises, and I was not disappointed! The chicken tikka masala was deliciously creamy and well-balanced with spices. The service was quick and efficient. While I would have liked a more elaborate ambiance, the focus on quality food made up for it. I look forward to my next visit to try different items! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to dining at Karimi Restaurant but came away disappointed. While the ambiance was nice, the food did not live up to my expectations based on the reviews. My chicken biryani lacked flavor and the meat was dry. However, the service was attentive and the atmosphere was pleasing which made the experience bearable. I may give it another chance and try their other offerings but it was not what I expected. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Karimi Restaurant felt like taking a trip to Pakistan for dinner! The flavors in the chicken curry were spectacular, rich and layered with spices. Their butter naan was heavenly, perfectly fluffy and a great accompaniment. The staff was attentive and friendly, making the dining experience even better. I also tried the chicken tikka and it was grilled to perfection! I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone craving authentic Indian/Pakistani food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was a bit hesitant at first due to mixed reviews, but my experience at Karimi completely won me over! The chicken tikka was tender, juicy, and perfectly spiced. Their garlic naan is something to write home about! The service was warm and welcoming - I felt right at home. However, I found the seating area a little lacking in ambiance. Overall, a true hidden gem for authentic Pakistani cuisine! I will be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a vegetarian, I often struggle to find restaurants that offer authentic Indian food, but Karimi did not disappoint! Their paneer dishes are flavorful and well-prepared, exactly how you'd find them in India. I especially loved their paneer tikka masala, which was rich and creamy. The staff were friendly and eager to help. The only downside was that the restaurant itself could use some brightening up to match the wonderful food. Highly recommend for vegetarians!
