History
[edit]In the mid-19th century, Mohammed Awaiz was a chef in the royal court of the Mughal Emperor, however after Bahadur Shah Zafar was exiled, Mohd Awaiz left the city for Farrukh nagar and later Ghaziabad. However, in 1911, when Delhi Durbar was held for the coronation of the King George V, Mohammed Awaiz’s son Haji Karimuddin moved back to Delhi with an innovative idea of opening a Dhaba with the Mughal culinary, to cater the people coming from all over India to join the coronation.
Haji Karimuddin started the Dhaba selling just two items of Aloo gosht (mutton with potatoes) and Daal (lentil curry) served with Rumali Roti.
In 1913, Haji Karimuddin established the flagship location of Karim Hotel in Gali Kababian, near Jama Masjid,
Delhi saying,
"I want to earn fame and money by serving the royal food to the common man". The restaurant opened its first branch in the 1974 in Nizamuddin West.
