Curry doesnt come with rice, you have to order it separately. Never have i ever been to a indian place where u have to do that.

I recently visited the wonderful Karimi restaurant and was impressed. The kebabs, made with beef, lamb and chicken, were incredibly delicious — perfectly spiced and perfectly cooked. Every bite was full of flavor and tenderness. The naan bread was soft and fresh. For dessert, I enjoyed the baklava, which was sweet, flaky and perfectly balanced. I highly recommend this place for those who love traditional Pakistani cuisine!

The place is near hall of justice. Decent alternative to the food around. I was part of the jury duty week. The food is large and tasty and reasonably priced. Overall well worth a visit

Nice selection on the menu. Place is pretty simple but nice and clean. Does not get super busy in the evening, so it easy to find a table.

I had ordered Goat biryani. The food was served within 10 mins. The food was very warm. The meat was cooked perfectly and there was a good amount of meat in it. It's a little expensive for the amount of food we get.

Best desi restaurant. And Chinese food is at Karachi level. Go try it out . Large portions as well. Owner and staff are really good. Clean and big. Lots of parking.

First-Person Review:

I recently visited Karimi Restaurant in San Jose and was thoroughly impressed. The food was absolutely delicious—I tried the Chicken Tikka Masala and Garlic Naan, both of which were packed with flavor and incredibly fresh. The Chicken biryani is a must have. The ambiance is simple, but the service was warm and attentive. The staff made sure we were comfortable and happy with our meal. While it’s not a fancy place, the quality of food and reasonable prices make it a hidden gem. I’ll definitely be coming back to explore more of their menu!

Karimi is a great restaurant. The chicken tandoori was amazing and very juicy, tender served with the perfect green chutney. The garlic naan was so fresh and soft. We also had paneer and mango lassi to end on a sweet note. The lassi stole the show and was delicious!
The service was fast and we had a great dinner

Tea they serve always have premix sugar.
Suger needs to be separate, so who ever wants it they can add by themselves.
