Came from Fort Lauderdale, first time trying this halal Lebanese spot and it was just amazing. Great customer service. The lady who sat us, Michelle was very cordial and the owner, Rashid was very pleasant and made sure we liked the food. We had the delicious hummus, baba ganoush with the freshly baked hot bread. Our dinner was simply delicious. We had the mixed kak9b platter and every meat there was perfectly cooked. The beef shawarma was also superb ?. We were so satisfied and full. Definitely coming back next time we're in Naples. Highly recommend!!
Probably in my top 3 for best places to dine in Naples! This place is PHENOMENAL ?!I cant remember the name of the appetizer we ordered, but it was some smorgasbord of everything Lebanese. Lots of different flavors and textures.I ordered the half chicken for my entree. I believe it was one of the most popular if not THE most popular dishes that is ordered. It was absolutely incredible.Seasoned and grilled to perfection ♨️. Crispy, perfect char and moist. Was some of the best chicken I've ever had honestly.We cant wait to go back here. Has a great story behind it too. You cant go wrong with, Kareems ?. Easy 5 stars here.And dont forget dessert!
My boyfriend and I rarely have date night because we both have children and busy lives!I was so happy we took a chance on this restaurant! Great ambiance and you could smell the delicious food cooking when you walk in the door! Our server was Joseph and he was wonderful too! The food was so well prepared especially Baba Ganhoush which is one of my favorites and haven’t found a restaurant that knows how to do it justice till now! Highly recommend you try this place!!!!
We arrived at 11:30am with hungry kids and they were having trouble, so needed to open later and very apologetically asked us to come back which we did, because we really wanted to try this place. So glad we did!! Well worth the wait! We had the Beiruti platter and the Shish Taouk. Absolutely delicious! Will return if we’re in the area again. We ordered baklava to take home and it was so good paired with black coffee. Bread was amazing too, and service was quick, Joseph served us and was very nice.
Took a friend for a bite for a birthday celebration. I knew she was an adventurous eater as she’d not eaten Lebanese before. She loved it and I knew she would! We’ll return for dinner. The restaurant is bright and clean. Greeted warmly and seated. We tried some wines and we both enjoyed them. Ordered a platter that offered many smaller samples of appetizers and it was thoroughly enjoyed. The warm bread with oil fusion with our wine was a nice touch before our app arrived. So Delicious! The owner stopped by our table and was quite gracious to surprise my friend with the Most delectable Chocolate lava type cake after we had our app and were enjoying the wines. The waiter actually sang Happy Birthday. What a Wonderful Unexpected Surprise, so thank you! I’ve eaten here twice before with family and happily recommend it to friends and visitors of Naples. Lunch or dinner, delicious food, adult atmosphere, attentive staff. Enjoy!
Always a pleasure never disappointed the Beirut platter is a great way to introduce your palette. The chicken Shawarma is my favorite with rice pilaf and you can’t go wrong with a batch of tabouli and their famous homemade hot bread pudding dessert absolutely out of this world! Enjoy ?
I've been here perhaps 3 times and it's simply great food. Great quality. Authentic and a real treat for naples off the beaten path!
We had eaten dinner at Kareem's a couple times pre-Covid and I remember it was quite good. I'm not sure what changed but this time was a complete disaster. First of all, we sat for about fifteen minutes before anyone greeted us, gave us menus, or filled our water glasses. It was only five o'clock and the restaurant only had a few tables seated. I warned the waitress that I am highly allergic to peppers. When our dinners arrived, green bell pepper was mixed in with my vegetables. She took my plate back to the kitchen and by the time she brought it back, my husband had finished his dinner already. Next, the "rack of lamb" was three pathetic tiny chops, only about a quarter of an inch thick each, almost all fat with only one miniscule bite of meat each. When the server asked how my dinner was, I honestly replied "terrible." The only good thing was that they took my dinner off the bill. Maybe we just ordered the wrong thing. My husband had the same entree so I can't judge what the rest of the food was like, but I guarantee we won't be back again to try it.
On a weekend getaway to beautiful Naples FL, I was fortunate to enjoy one of the most memorable dining experiences at Kareem's Lebanese Kitchen.From the moment I was greeted at the door until the last bite of delicious food, I enjoyed a 5-star experience. The service was friendly yet professional. The atmosphere was relaxed yet classy. And the food was out of this world.The highlight of my meal was the Chef's Lamb Mouzat presented by the chef himself. The lamb shank was the most tender, flavorful delite I had ever eaten. Braised with tomatoes, potatoes, artichoke, and onion pearls, this succulent dish will bring me back to Naples again and again.
Second visit here. First was 4/5, this one is just 3/5. Food was tasty, and well presented. Main course was not hot, more like lukewarm… nonetheless still flavorful.Service was a bit delayed this time. When asked to not retrieve the appetizer platter (after bringing main course). Server and assistant didn’t acknowledge and proceeded to take it away. Water service was awful (did order wine as well).Let’s talk bread — it was delicious, but if you order the chefs sampler platter, you need two rounds … asked for a second one, and totally ignored (Perhaps they should charge for it? I would’ve gladly paid for it!!).Main course with the lamb chops, could’ve been better temperature wise.Even though it was nice to not feel rushed out of the restaurant, there is room for improvement on the servers side — you can’t just disappear and abandon tables for too long of a time. Most likely an understaffed evening, with maybe two servers and two assistants.
