What people say, in short
Karim's is a frequently recommended biryani spot in Kolkata, with many commenters naming it among their top picks and the Hatibagan branch singled out by several as the best one. Diners praise the mutton biryani, the generous quantity and the raita, and one commenter recommends any outlet for Kolkata-style biryani while skipping the Awadhi version. The caveats: a couple of people call it overpriced or bad, and one commenter who tried all branches says only Hatibagan is good.
