Best middle eastern cuisine I've had in Massachusetts. Everything is made fresh and presented with care and love. I've watched Ahmad cook on several occasions now in his spotless kitchen and can tell he is a true culinary professional.

Amazing meal! A friend of mine brought me a meal from Kareem's while I was in quarantine. It was such a treat. The best meal I've had in years!

Wow. What a meal! We had heard great things about Kareem's so for our anniversary we decided to give them a try. They are only doing takeout at the moment which was fine by us because indoor dining still doesn't feel very safe at the moment. I spoke with the owner Ahmed and asked him to come up with a special dinner for the two of us. He really came through for us. We had two kinds of hummus, muhamarra, grape leaves, smoked salmon, lamb, shrimp, and chicken dishes as well as salad and dessert. Everything was outstanding, and the experience was wonderful. He was a delight on the phone and I really felt like we were getting personal attention and a personalized meal. He even called the next day to make sure we had enjoyed it. Kareem's definitely deserves its reputation as a neighborhood gem. We will absolutely be back.

We ordered food from here for the first time and were blown away by the range of flavors, the quality and the distinctiveness of the cooking. I spoke with the owner/chef who told me the dishes available (it is a tiny establishment) and I ordered hummus, baba ghanous, and 3 main dishes that came with tabouleh salad. Each dish was unique and spectacular. All 3 of us were wowed by the flavors, textures and overall quality. I live in Watertown and have been meaning to check this place out for ages. I will definitely be ordering again and look forward to visiting the restaurant once things open again. It takes something really special to get me to write a review - bravo Kareem's!

We ordered take out from Kareem's this past weekend (right now he is only offering take out Saturday and Sunday) and it was phenomenal. We had been wanting to try this restaurant and truly want to make sure he can make it through the Pandemic. Ahmed was very pleasant to work with and offered both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. We got red lentil soup, hummus, lamb kibbeh with yogurt, and baklava. We spoke on Friday and he called us up on Saturday around 3:30pm letting us know everything was ready to go. No contact pick up but still nice to have a face-to-face conversation with someone. We will surely come back and hope to try a cooking class in the future but plan on ordering take out again from here soon. Bonus - our 1 year old went nuts for all of it and we had leftovers. Highly recommend.

Excellent meal! From appetizers to dessert everything was delicious. Be prepared to stay a while, enjoy watching the chef cook your meal and deliver to your table. Will visit again.

I love coming back to this place again and again. The menu is always slightly different. The food is always delicious. The kanafeh is to die for.
The food is extremely delicious. It was prepared right in front of us as we enjoyed the pleasant atmosphere. The food is a bit over priced, but is totally worth it. Make sure you have cash or check as they don't accept cards! Oops!

I went to Kareem's with my wife and we had the pita & hummus, a salad, and some grilled chicken and some vegetarian dish (wife ordered, but don't remember the name of). Everything was fantastic. Fresh, simple and healthy. Would definitely recommend!
