Karimi Indian and Pakistani Cuisine offers authentic dishes like chicken karahi, lamb seekh kebabs, chicken malai boti, chicken tikka masala, biryani, beef nihari, and Hakeem. The garlic naans and fresh naan are soft and hot, and the butter chicken is considered one of the best. Diners enjoy the generous complimentary dates and pakora during iftar and a full iftar layout for dine‑in. Service is friendly and prompt, and the menu is full flavored items. The atmosphere is calm, and the place is spacious and clean for some visits, though others note it is not super clean and the building is old. Prices are good, with many items under $100. It is a popular choice for desi food lovers looking for a flavorful experience in California.
