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, 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
