El Karim is a great local restaurant. The food is very good and the welcome and service warm and friendly. A well as a good evening out in its own right, it's always great to combine it with a visit to the cinema next door!
Still great food, very cordial and professional service from a thoroughly informed maitre d’ to boot. If anything I clearly ordered too much food for a group of 10 adults and 1 child, ‘s all.
El Karim is always a delight to visit- lovely staff who serve you SO efficiently and always with lovely smiles; the food is delicious and the specials are definitely worth trying. The restaurant is on our ‘go regularly list. We also know people who say it’s ‘the best Lebanese restaurant around’!
Amazing food & great staff!! We will be back very soon
Amazing, delicious food. Would have liked to try all of it but couldn’t eat any more .. maybe a platter with a little of everything would be good for a booking for a few people.. otherwise it was a lovely evening with delicious food
Delicious, but next time I would stick to sharing more starters and sides, and maybe half or fewer (enormous) mains. We took food home.
I was really surprised by this restaurant. Food was great. I will go back.
Our first experience of the new menu was great with excellent flavours
Fast and friendly service. Loved the fried cauliflower and special lamb homous dish -delicious.
7 of us dined on a Saturday night. Noisy restaurant with pleasant decor. Food was tasty and service reasonable. Bowls were the best. Our major complaint was that pita bread serves are too skimpy. On balance a nice cuisine with friendly staff.
It was great, we’ll be back again very very soon.
Very good. Just what I was looking for. That’s it.
We love going to El Karim and usually go early because both the men in our group of four have hearing difficulties and we want to get there before the usual crowd. Service is always excellent and the food is sublime.
Great service and delicious food! Thank you for having us
Great fresh tasty food and good service. Very much recommended.
Fresh, delicious food. The spiced fish risotto was outstanding. We'll definitely be back!
All dishes were well presented, plentiful and tasty. Service was friendly. Highly recommend the lamb shish.
Would be a really good idea to have a "mixed dip" plate. Single dips are too big and too much of one thing and $10 each! Please consider.
Food was fantastic. Lovely service and great ambience for us.
Tasty interesting food. Good service good ambience. A b c
Very loud children at big table, but we were dining at 6.15pm
We were charged for haloumi chips, which we ordered but they never gave them to us. Check your bill carefully before you pay. There are 3 wines and 3 beers to choose from and apart from daily specials there are 2 types of main meals with a variety of side dishes and salads. Acoustics multiplied the noise.
Great food, service a bit slow at the start but definitely picked up.
The food was delicious and the service great. We would definitely return. xx
Great Sunday evening dinner. Fresh, flavourful and delicious. Thank you
Good was delicious and huge helpings! Staff very accommodating, will definitely be back!
The service was good, but the menu has been substantially simplified since we were last there, which was disappointing.
A lovely evening with excellent service and tasty food, thanks!
Great local Lebanese food. Very highly recommended. Five Stars here.
A little unsure when we arrived as the waiting staff seemed to be a little out of control but everyone was very friendly and the food was great. Had a pleasurable evening.
Friendly staff. Enjoyed the food. Will definitely be back again!
Food was very tasty, and the service was fast and friendly.
Food was amazing as always. The cauliflower was the dish of the day, so delicious.
The most incredible authentic Lebanese food. Highly recommend. Great service and mouthwatering menu.
The food was delicious 😋. Fresh, zesty and amazing. Always love El Karin.
Great food and service. Very tasty and took home the left overs.
Very average food and overpriced Salad had no seasoning and no dressing, the sambusik was below average and nothing like the lamb with pine nuts, one skewer cost $23.00 - ridiculous. I eat at many other Lebanese restaurants and they serve 2 skewers for that price. Very dissatisfied.
Excellent food and service. Very reasonabley priced. Will definitely book again.
It was Fabulous food and great selection to suit all tastes
Been there several times. The food never disappoints. A return vistor for years.
We enjoyed a delicious meal. Good and honest service to a Menu plan. El Karim is a favourite Restaurant.
Delicious food and good service. Some of it was a bit pricey for what you actually got though unfortunately was the only down side
We had to ask twice for some water and to order our dinner. When ordering from the specials menu the waiter said they no longer had one of the dishes. Why not tell us that as we were seated? The meal itself was tasty.
Lovely welcome, great service, food delicious. Large portions, extras not needed!
Healthy delicious food. Quick service.Good meeting place for Roseville cinema.
The food was good although the portions are relatively modest compared to other Lebanese restaurants we have eaten at. The specials and lamb kofta were excellent. A good neighbourhood option though.
We absolutely loved the baba ganouj and lamb shish. A delicious dinner.
Fresh ingredients. Really nice food. Attentive service. Just right for dinner before a movie
The mezze were great and the service was lovely. Mains were somewhat average. But the biggest issue is the 3% Visa credit card surcharge automatically applied to the bill!
The meal was delicious service good so definitely would recommend this restaurant
