Kareem's, Sector V
17 people recommend, 5 warn against itvia r/kolkata·22 comments quoted below
What people say, in short
Kareem's has several branches around Kolkata (commenters name Sector V, Park Street, Salt Lake and Chinar Park), and many commenters name it among their favourite biryani spots, with one Sector V regular saying they have been there a hundred times without a single bad experience. One commenter singles out the chicken biryani, another recommends it for those who like spicier biryani, and a visitor praises the ambience and service at the Esplanade branch. However, several warn that quality has slipped: one diner at the Sector V branch found the special mutton biryani bony and short on rice, and two consider it overpriced or among the city's worst. One commenter suggests the BD Block outlet in Salt Lake is probably the best branch.
