Had an amazing time at Karigari. The food was absolutely delicious—full of authentic North Indian flavors. Every dish we tried was well-prepared and tasted fresh. The ambiance is warm and inviting, perfect for family or friends. Service was also great. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a quality dining experience!
The food was good. The restaurant had very strong perfume. Felt suffocated due to the strong smell. Could not smell the food. Tried thier so called charcoal naan. It was not worth it. Garlic naan was much better.
We were seated near the door, and cold air kept rushing in every time it opened. Requested a seat change, but it wasn’t possible due to the rush. Food-wise, the pav bhaji fondue wasn’t hot enough and had very mild flavors. The coconut-based drink was average, but the bela flower drink was unique and quite good. The galauti kebab was the highlight—very soft and flavourful, served with an interesting avocado dressing. The moringa fish tikka was also well-cooked, soft and juicy with a nice pomegranate sauce. Service was inconsistent as the main course arrived before a starter and had to be sent back. The dal makhani in the main course was bland and disappointing. Overall, a mixed experience with a few standout dishes but average execution.
