Karim's Leh Ladakh

We began our bites by dipping Lazeez Keema Naan, khambir and the plain Naan into Mutton Handi. The gravy was quite good, spicy but moderately . Basically, four pieces are served in Chicken Fries as they told us but they served us five pieces as we were five . Later, we ordered Jahangiri Chicken which was also delicious. I appreciate the service. I liked the kitchen feed displaying the chef at work EatHearty!

We liked karim's already when we first tried it in Delhi. So it was a good find for us, when we got to know, it's in Leh as we were searching for Muslim food. The Kabab was really good and also the chicken makkhan. The mutton biriyani was different from our country in a good way and the amount was a lot. Overall, it was a good experience.

Karim's on the third floor of the Mengon Shopping Complex, next to the Leh Jumma Masjid, appears like a low-profile place despite its prominent signage in red and white. Well, wait till you climb three flights of stairs to this cheerfully bustling place. A franchise of the famous Karim's of Delhi, you're guaranteed a place to sit in this huge hall-like space, done up with minimalist beautiful wooden trellises along the wall and on the ceiling. The focus is on the food and not the interiors or the lovely view from the tables beside the huge sliding glass window. The service is friendly without being pushy in the slightest. There's no pressure to order accompaniments or drinks. The stewards approach you, only when beckoned. I ordered a nargisi kofta(half), a khamiri roti and a kheer benaziri. The kheer benaziri arrived first, as requested, to work up my appetite. It's pre-prepared and kept in a refrigerator, so it arrived quickly. Every spoonful was delicious, with subtle sweetness, rich in coconut and dryfruits. The lunch arrived in short order. I was lucky I ordered only one khamiri roti. It was huge! A never-ending affair as I broke off pieces to dip into the lamb gravy. The nargis kofta was a mutton ball encasing a boiled egg. The half-bowl could've served two. Since, I'm a solo diner, it was quite a task finishing off the half-bowl. The dish was accompanied by an onion salad and spicy mint and coriander chutney. The chief steward, meanwhile, was just happy to be beckoned and queried about different dishes on the meat-laden menu. Unfortunately, the fish dishes listed on the menu weren't available, fresh fish being rather difficult to get this season. Neither was Karim's famous paaya soup. Never mind, the moderately-priced nargisi kofta and khamiri roti worked like a dream! One of my most memorable lunches anywhere!

Best restaurant to try mughal food in leh. Amazing quality and quantity. Price is decent. You'll get amazing biriyani here. Located in the leh market and must visit for nonveg lovers. Lovely ambience and staffs are very customer friendly. Lots of varieties in menu so must visit.

Non veg food is amazing here but the veg food was okayish. Ordered veg pulav and mushroom roll out of which mushroom roll was fine but veg pulav was spicy. Suggested for non vegetarian people. Fresh lime juice was refreshing

Worst food. We ordered mutton biryani which was better than all the other things we ordered. Paneer tikka was very bad, in the menu it mentioned that it will be served with the vegetables and paneer, in the name of vegetables they only served 2 slices of onion and tomato each. The paneer was not properly barbecued, it was soggy and raw with lots of masalas only, served cold, when asked to warm it, they microwaved and served it back. The mushroom roll was not even fresh, contained tinned picked mushroom and was bad in taste. Lachha Paratha was sweet in taste and was cooked in tandoor, like, who cooks lachha Paratha in tandoor, and was not even soft at all. Very bad experience.

Nice family restaurant offering quality non veg and veg food. Loved the ambience and the view of Leh market and Stok Kangri from the balcony.

One of the best mughlai resturant in leh Staffs are really good. The quality of the food is also good. If you want to have north indian food and biriyani I would suggest go for Karim. It will not dishearten you. Our experience was really nice with this restaurant.. you will also get a good view of market from this resturant.
