Food is disgusting! I’ve been ordering the same thing for about 8 months now. Never had any issues but the past 3 times I did, meat smells, old tahini for sure. Never again!

Last Saturday, I went to dine in at this beautiful restaurant for a lunch. I ordered shrimp Ke on platter with rice and mint + lemonade which was so cool and relaxing. The jumbo shrimp was so amazing and a must try dish if you are a seafood lover and a fan of huge, massive shrimps. I also ordered other food for other members who travelled along with us. They were also equally tasty. This is a good place to dine in but a little expensive I guess but I’m not sure though. Don’t forget to get down here when you pass by or planning to have a good meal, and please don’t forget to give your honest reviews and opinions so that it would make it easier for others to choose. Thank you ?

What an incredibly friendly environment. We came here for dinner as a group of 6 and decided to order the family platter. This thing was so good and we even had leftovers to take home. Multiple boxes of it!Very kind staff and they brought us these cute little glasses of coffee as well.I had the lemon mint as a drink and it was super refreshing.

This is my second visit and absolutely the last. Same issues in both visits. I have never been so frustrated with poor service and staff attitude.Waitress provided us with wrong information about our order. Food was good but served cold. Our order was less in quantity than what we were told.To add insult to injury, we were charged more than the prices listed in the menu and were charged for items not order.In short, competitors provide much better service and food much tastier. It is not worth.
Em Karam offers a decent dining experience with good portion sizes and a pleasant ambiance that's suitable for a family dinner. While we didn't get to try their specialty ribs and other dishes due to the limited menu, the food we had was satisfying. The restaurant has room for improvement in terms of menu options, but overall, Em Karam is worth considering for a decent meal out.

Was excited to get Dinner from here. I was so disappointed! My chicken shawarma was horrible. The chicken was dry and stale. The flatbread was also dry and stale. The shawarma had nothing in it but chicken. No veggies not sauce! Gave it one star because the rice was really good. Maybe they are having a bad day but quality of food has to be consistent.
