KARIM'S- A Taste of History, Old Delhi







As we were discovering Old Delhi, enjoying the Mughal architecture, bargaining in the narrow lanes, we were terribly hungry. It was late afternoon and we decided to have our lunch at Karim's. I had heard a lot about Karim's food, so wanted to experience the taste. Time Magazine ranks Karim's amongst top restaurants in Asia. The restaurant may not be quite easy to spot from the main street, but ask anyone in the area, and they will point you straight to the restaurant. It is in one of the narrow lane, opposite Jama Majid. The founders were supposed to be chefs in Mughal emperor Bahadurshah Jafar’s palace. So here you can have the choicest Mughlai delicacies.There is not a single dish you will not enjoy, the food is delicious.But I found the place unhygienic and dirty. But have read that Karims at Nizamuddin is cleaner and has an overall better ambience.
Try it out when you are in Delhi.
