Karim's in Fareham

Never had a bad meal and normally ready within half an hour

Rice is chewy and undercooked, onion bajhis where vile and the butter chicken contained more grease than chicken (3 think slivers.

Always delicious hot food. Good sized portions for a great price. Plenty left for dinner tomorrow as well. Driver was very pleasant.

Decided to give Karims ago as it's very local. My partner tried it around 5 years ago and didn't like it. But heard really good things from our neighbours about this place lately. We was really impressed , and will definitely return. Food had good taste , was hot and fresh. 20 % Discount also if you pay with cash in store too!

I recently visited Karim Indian Takeaway and felt compelled to share my exceptional experience. Raj, one of the staff members, provided exemplary service, exceeding all our expectations. From the moment we walked in, Raj was cordial, fun, and impressively quick. His excellent customer service truly stood out as he customized our order to meet our every need, adding the perfect amount of spice and making other adjustments effortlessly. The care and attention he showed were remarkable. The waiting area was lovely and comfortable, making the short wait for our food quite pleasant. Although it took a bit longer than expected, the quality of the food made it well worth it. The hot food was a testament to the care put into its preparation. Raj and the team at Karim made our visit memorable, ensuring we left with smiles and satisfied appetites. Thank you very much for what felt like a Hero's Dinner. All the best, guys. Keep up the fantastic work

Wow - what an absolutely amazing Indian take-away, I had phoned around 5 others in Fareham - I was very, very hungry and they delivered within 30minutes! Friendly service! Great taste! Highly recommended!

I’m Indian and sometimes just want a curry someone else has made. Very tasty.

Order came with the wrong rice, called up and they did eventually send the correct rice. The chicken in the butter chicken curry was dry and tough!! The onion bahjis were super greasy and soggy!! Popadoms were alright

Used them twice now after a leaflet drop off. Hot tasty food, great selection and I downloaded the app and love that I can tweet my favourite creamy curry to be however hot I want it. Portion size a little on the small size but I couldn't fault the taste.Got to try the coconut rice with a vinaloo hot xacutt, lovely. Definately my go to curry house now.

cold food, flavourless greasy rice with lamb thrown in. vegetable curry was stone cold with 80% mushrooms. soggy poppadoms. last meal I had from here was 10/10 this was enough for me to never come back. sorry guys.

The food was not nice, unable to eat

20 minutes late even though ordered 2hrs ahead for collection

Always hot and delicious. Best Indian takeaway around.

Good food, was slightly cold when it got to us! Cheesy naan had hardly any cheese in it:(

Super speedy delivery, fresh food - really tasty, extra poppadom & sauce delivered too - not expecting. Very happy thank you 🙏 Highly recommend with 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ordered from karims for the first time as I had a leaflet dropped through my door. I live in Gosport so thought I would call and ask as there situated in fareham road which is about 20 mins up the road. My son had korma and pilau rice which was so lovely and creamy with a gentle hint of coconut so wasn’t to sickly. I had prawn shashlick with mushroom rice , so tasty, prawns cooked and marinated to perfection and chunky vegetable that had a slight char on them. I had forgot to order mint sauce so they were so lovely and gave us mint sauce , poppadoms and Bombay potatoes for free. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Never ever had a bad meal from Karims. Wouldn't use any other takeaway.

First time we’ve ordered from this restaurant. So pleased the food was absolutely lovely. Thank you

Always great flavour. The sauce was a little watery but overall, a great meal

Great taste, best Indian I have had. thanks

Very tasty food. Lots of flavour. Really enjoyed.

Order was missing some items. The sauce was more like watery soup than a curry sauce. Was bitterly disappointed. On the plus side portion sizes are good.

Hot tasty lots of choice great value

Part of the order was missing, called the restaurant and they said it would be "10 minutes".... Hours later, still waiting

Lovely food and lovely customer service :)

Absolutely great thanks. Early delivery and food was great. Much obliged.

Perfect! Delicious food, as always. Portion sizes are great. Delivered on time and hot. Many thanks 😊

Awful , chicken tikka masala, pieces of tough chicken in a sweet sauce, chicken biryani rice didn't seem fresh and not nice

Onion bhaji were hard and couldn’t eat them, the rest was fine

Food was amazing, taste was top notch and it was all well prepared! Would use again most definatly

Korma was very coconut tasting but other than that was good

FANTASTIC - I've been coming here years and wouldn't use any other.... Hot, great tasty food makes it a real treat. Fast delivery. Highly recommended.

Excellent couldn’t fault any of it. Will use this one again.

Lovely food, piping hot when arrived and friendly delivery drivers :)

Great food, friendly delivery, will use again definitely. Thank you

The food was nice and has generally been fine whenever we've ordered from here however our order was placed just after 17:30 for a 20:30 delivery time and it didn't arrive until 20:50 which I just wouldn't expect, disappointing.

Lovely food. Always delicious and hot when delivered. Always my go to curry restaurant.

Have been using Karims for years. Fantastic hot flavourful food. Highly recommended. Always had fast delivery. Wouldn't go anywhere else! Cheers guys 👍🏼

Very hot and tasty , super service and will definitely be ordering again 😊

Absolutely Glorious food. Highly recommended 👌

Thigh meat in chicken tikka masala. If not, then extremely poor taste.

The popadoms were stale the naan bread was cold and soggy as was the rice,korma and tikka

The food was good, apart from being cold and a mess on side the bag

Wonderful and tasty, thank you

Top food, on time, hot, tasty! After a days DIY it was just what I needed!

Don’t appreciate driver looking through all windows banging then without door being knocked or a phone call - we have dogs that bark and more than enough people 4 adults minimum + 5 kids listening out… intrusive at the least.

Great food and friendly service

Wont order from here again curry was very watery unlike other Indian takeaways, bit of a let down

I ordered from Karims for the first time in about a year last week and the quality of food has gone down hill massively. I ordered a different curry again today and it was equally as terrible. Was watery bland and tasted like a tin of chopped tomato’s. The mango chutney has also been mixed with ketchup for some strange reason. Absolutely vile.

Karims is our go to for an Indian takeaway. The Karims special is so good, highly recommend the onion rice. On time, piping hot and delicious. Thank you!

I've ordered from here a lot of times before and it's been great. Today I thought I would try the lamb in a madras. I have never in my life eaten lamb so chewy and hard. My teeth hurt after trying to eat it. I am completely disappointed and it ruined my meal. I'm writing this hours later and my teeth still hurt from attempting to eat the lamb.

Really impressed with the quality and flavour of dishes, would definitely recommend, and order again.

Fast delivery and stunning food. Great Friday night treat.

Great food and good price. Delivery was very fast, delivered before the estimated time. Great service

We always use Karims and have a lovely meal but tonights delivery was one of the best. Hot, tasty and delivered early. Will be ordering again that's for sure

You can tell it’s a Saturday night and they’ve got a lot of customers- the sauce was watered down, obviously to make it stretch further.

Food was really blant. Had a worst experience with the food when we were really hungry. Matar paneer was very sweet. Very upset. We will never order from there anymore.

Food is good. Discount for collections and parking outside.

We are regular customers. Consistent good food, always early or on time. We do recommend to our local friends and visitors.

Great food, piping hot. Very pleased and will definitely order again.

We ordered two bottles of coke and they weren't delivered but because the delivery arrived after the restaurant shut there was no way of contacting anyone to get this corrected.

Used to be so good when it first opened... Watered down korma, tasteless chicken and soggy, undercooked naan. Won't be back until the standards improve.

Good choice,Ready on time. Good value. Only gave 1 for restaurant as takeaway.

FANTASTIC as always... cheers guys

Food was amazing, brilliant service 👍🙂

Great food and delivery spot on. Can’t be faulted.

Got a chinky curry before bed, excellent!

Nice biryani & Naga, Smokin...!

Perfect, highly recommend! Thank you

Second time ordering this week and second lovely meal. Can’t fault it. Very good price and even gave free extras

Beautiful food, friendly service and very quick delivery!

Not king prawn madras, medium prawn and heat, watery not much flavour

We use this takeaway loads and they can never find our home. Our food arrived really cold and had to re heat which ruined the experience. Time before some of the order was missing. Sorry, although the food is normally nice there seems to be a problem with our order on many occasions. Not playing takeaway roulette any more.

Used to go regularly and like others have experienced it has progressively got worse to the extent that I feel like asking for a refund as half went in the bin!

Delicious, could have been hotter but it was still fine. Highly recommend.

Lovely food, piping hot when it arrived and driver was really friendly! Overall a very happy customer:)

Food arrived promptly and was piping hot and tasty

First time ordering, and we will be back! Really good food and fair pricing

Food was really watery and tasteless 2/5 dishes were ok but the rest weren’t

I ordered a garlic chili chicken curry, special pilaw rice, and garlic naan at 22.00 on a Sat night. The expected delivery time was 45 - 65 minutes, it arrived within 30 mins, pipping hot. The food looked, smelt, and tasted very nice, I will ask for it to be made hotter in spice next time I order from them, I do like a fiery curry. Would I order from them again, yes, without hesitation. I recommend this restaurant.

Poor. Lovely food. 3rd time I’ve ordered from here. 3rd time missing items

Food was tasty but asked for the Dhansak to be made mild and it wasn’t.

We used to order a curry weekly as a treat a few years ago and the quality wasn’t bad then. Things started to slide, different chefs changing our favourite dishes and not for the better. When telephoning invariably someone takes the call who hasn’t a clue what to say, he doesn’t know what the dishes are, there are long silences and confusion. On top of that so many times there were errors ranging from dishes missing in the delivered takeaway bag as one example. Tonight after many months of getting fed up with the quality, errors, alterations etc., we thought we’d try Karims again! Never again! The curries were like oil slicks, there were a few thin slices of dry over cooked chicken, the sauce was not as flavoursome as it should have been. It was like a standard mild tikka sauce but the curries shouldn’t have been like a tikka! There was supposed to have been flavour and heat. There were two greasy onion bhajis on top of the curries, they had no texture or taste at all. The omelettes on top were like rubber and had clearly been made beforehand and kept under a ‘warmer’ which resulted in them being like a small rubber frisbee! On top of that the naan bread was cold and the poppadoms were soft. We gave Karims umpteen opportunities, even speaking to the manager a few times who repeatedly assured us that he was sorry and ‘it won’t happen again’, however it constantly did happen again. Sorry Karims but enough is enough, too many chances with no improvements at all, poor service, poor quality, frequent errors and sloppy standard staff. There won’t be any more orders in future from us. If there had been the option for no stars that would have been the option for tonight’s delivery.

Nice food, sometimes more sauce less meat in curry but always tasty. Indian food is very expensive nowadays so recommend collection with cash and 10% off 👌

Proper nice food, best in town fully recommended

I ordered chicken tikia vindaloo I got just chicken vindaloo and I payed extra. Ordered on just eat. Was not happy

The food is full flavoured and reasonably priced. I try to collect my order as it is quicker

I ordered a chicken Pathia, it was beautiful, but even more impressive was the naan bread, super sweet and fluffy. One of the best I’ve tasted. Will definitely visit again.

Have been here a few times and I am never disappointed, portion sizes are generous and always tastes delicious. Would highly recommend. Definitely the best korma and mint dip I have tried. 😊😊

Best Nan bread I’ve tasted in a long time! Papadoms we’re really crispy and my lamb Bhuna was mouth watering! Would definitely recommend and would definitely order again! Even the delivery guy was really pleasant!

Great food, collected it in store and was piping hot. Delicious Tikka, poppadoms and Samosa

Ordered a curry from here and was told 40 minute wait. This ended up being a 1 hour 50 wait after several phone calls chasing them. When the curry arrived one of them had a hair in it!!!! Disgusting. Will never order from here again!!!

Placed an order that was due to arrive from 19:40 to 20:00. After a couple phone calls were it was said that it was on the way it arrived at 21:00. When the food did arrive we were a bit disappointed with the quality of the curries, and unfortunately after dishing out the Balti we found hairs in it.

Good portions of good food. Will definitely use again.

Since discovering Karim's it's become a weekend treat... never had a bad meal. The food is always fresh and they sort out any problems immediately. Highly recommended 👌

I use a few different Indian takeaways in Fareham but this is up there with the very best for flavor, taste, value and portion size. Both myself and my wife had a lovely Curry and they gave us plenty of free poppadoms and sauces, in fact we've never had a bad curry from here and the staff are always very helpful , they always give you loads of food I can never eat it all so I have the rest the next day. I would highly recommend the food here and will be coming back here again confident of another excellent meal. Thank you Sam, Richie

The worst Indian takeaway in Fareham just look at the burnt-out onion bhajis and the chicken tikka was the worst I have ever had and chicken biryani with no chicken never again will I go there I went back and demanded my money back and got it

I would stay well clear of this place the food is atrocious it was slop and I went all the way back from Wickham to Gosport Road Fareham to get my money back the onion bhajis tell you the story re-cooked and burnt to a crisp if you do go there which I doubt you will now check your food before you leave or even pay , they are on a tax dodge as well offering 20% off your meals for cash

Last minute order , what can I say !! Not even abit of authenticity in the meal , ordered a Rogan Josh , ( tomatoe based curry) it arrived hot but !! Once opened it didn’t even resemble any thing with tomatoes !!! A bright red sauce that was terrible/ don’t bother, we will not be ordering again .

we tried this takeaway in lockdown, and have just kept on coming back. the chicken dishes are all made with lovely tikka chicken , and we always have some left over, there is always plenty ... for years we have chosen a dansak wherever we go , which is really good here, but we've been tempted to try out other curries & have never been disappointed . also ,, the onion bahjee portions are 4 delicious pieces , and the free popadoms are always crispy .... i dont understand the poor reviews, this is now our goto in the Fareham area.
