What People Are Saying About Karma Fine Indian Cuisine

Citysearch
In Short – A charming townhouse in the city's energized Old City neighborhood gives way to a vibrantly-colored restaurant oozing with authentic Indian touches. Bright red and gold walls accented by a wall-length mural surround black wood tabled topped with white linens. Amid the bustle, locals and pre-party diners feast on award-winning traditional dishes like naan, kababs, tandoori chicken and lamb vindaloo.

Had better Indian curry in Mexico than what Karma offered,,,,
by foodu at Citysearch
Give me a break guys. I read all reviews and had to get to Karma, and what a disappointment . I have had better curries made by Chinese chefs than what Karma had to offer. The Kormas was if they mixed cream and curry powder microwaved it and splat it into a dish. Tikka Masala was a colored dish with a hint of creamy yoghurty sauce that had probably gone awry. Only plus was the dessert, but I am bias towards Gulab Jamun. being Indian i will go again to Karma but only if it was the last place for an Indian looking meal. Calling this a Northern Indian cuisine restaurant is an injustice to us Punjabis.........The Naan was good though. There were 4 of us 2 indians and 2 caucasians who never had Indian cuisine, and they loved it,,,,,go figure.
AND IF NO ONE HAS NOTICED THE GOOD REVIEWS ONLY TALK ABOUT GOOD FOOD AND SERVICE WITHOUT MENTIONING WHAT FOOD AS IF IT WAS WRITTEN BY KARMA MARKETEERS THEMSELVES!!!
- Pros: good service, wait staff
- Cons: not an Indian meal!!!!!

Not consistent
by jafarhadi at Citysearch
Was formerly a more upscale Indian/Pakistani restaurant. Now under new owners. I've been there twice recently and would say that the food is inconsistent. On my last trip, the food was lukewarm and some of the dishes were empty and not being refilled. Also, the prices is a little steep considering the lack of meat on the menu and the small number of dishes. Moreover, the food was very bland and too watered down for the average person. All in all, I think that I will look elsewhere for Indian/Pakistani food in Philly.
Lunch buffet: 8.99
- Pros: Butter-chicken, Gulab Jamin
- Cons: Kheer (tasted like it came from a Shan mix box), flavorless, overpriced
