Fodor's Review:

A popular addition to the Jama Masjid tour, Karim's is an Old Delhi institution. Mutton, which generally means goat in India, is king here, especially in thick, rich gravies; try mutton Mughlai or badaam pasanda ("almond delight," mutton in a slightly sweet gravy) for the full experience. To get here, walk down the street that runs out from the mosque's main entrance, Gate 1, and about four shops down on the left, walk through the passageway into a small courtyard—you'll see smoking kababs on spits and several indoor seating areas. The newer Karim's, Dastar Khwan-e-Karim, near Hazrat Nizamuddin Darga, is more of a restaurant proper. Alcohol is not served.
