About Karim's Cafe
Editorial overview · verified 9 August 2026
Karim's Cafe is a mid-range desi food restaurant in Islamabad. In short, desi food is the everyday cooking of the subcontinent — slow-cooked curries, tawa-fried meats, freshly baked roti, charcoal-grilled tikka and seekh kabab, and fragrant rice dishes. The menu currently lists 125 items, with prices ranging from Rs.59 to Rs.7,499 (taxes and service may apply).
Pakistani desi cuisine is built on long, patient cooking with whole spices, charcoal smoke, ghee, and the open-flame BBQ tradition — eaten family-style with hot naan straight off the tandoor. Karim's Cafe fits within this tradition, and its menu reflects that influence — items like Fish Tikka appear among the most-listed dishes.
What to order: based on the published menu, the most representative dishes are Fish Tikka (Rs.1,999), Helwa Puri (Rs.300), Lahori Green Salad (Rs.299), and Kulcha Naan (Rs.79). Prices on this page are dine-in unless otherwise noted; takeaway and delivery may carry a small surcharge.
