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

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.
