"Kareem's is located in a tiny strip mall and shares an outdoor dining area with a dry cleaner. Inside, there are only a few tables. We arrived around 1:30 PM, and there was another family ahead of us in line. They seemed to have trouble deciding what to order, despite the menu clearly indicating which items were vegan and which weren't. Their delay turned what should have been a straightforward transaction into a lengthy back-and-forth with the cashier.
As for the menu, nothing stood out to me as special or unique. I almost opted not to order anything but ultimately chose the beef Kibbeh roll bowl with the original sauce. What I received was essentially a mound of lettuce crammed into a plastic takeout bowl, along with rice, cucumber yogurt, croutons, pickles, pickled onions, green chili, and two pieces of Kibbeh. To be honest, the entire dish had a bitter taste.
My wife ordered the Kufta plate with hummus and rice, but she wasn’t particularly impressed with her meal either. Our child seemed to have the best idea amongst us by simply ordering fries.
I did notice that other customers got their bowls served in ceramic dishes, which made me wonder if I just happened to come in at a bad time when they hadn't washed theirs. To top it off, the server who brought our food appeared irritated, practically tossing a sauce container onto our table. “Uniquely Made, Extraordinary Taste”? I certainly didn't find that to be the case."
