Chef Rachid’s Culinary Journey
Some recipes are more than food. They are memory, heritage, and love passed down through generations. At Kareem’s, Chef Rachid Eido, a third-generation Lebanese chef, brings that story to your table, drawing on a culinary journey that took him from the kitchens of Beirut to the world’s most prestigious dining rooms, including the Four Seasons Hotel. Kareem, the Arabic word for “generous,” is built on that same timeless spirit, where every dish is made with intention, every flavor tells a story, and every guest is welcomed like family.

We came back for the first time in years, and were reminded how Outstanding the food is. You start off with the puffy bread. OMG!! The best bread ever. Comes out warm. Yummy. Then we had to get our favorite appetizer. It's Chef Rachid sampler platter and has a variety of mezzes. I highly recommend this appetizer to try different samplings of Turkish food. Be aware though, this sampler is eggplant heavy with 4 different preparations. All is delicious. 2 -3 types of hummus. The original is tasty, but we loved the beet one. See picture for the different samplings. For dinner, I had the branzino special; whole fish fillet. My husband had the half chicken. Both were delicious. Honestly the food is what you would expect in a high-end "chefy" restaurant - it was that well prepared with special spices.
The vibe of this restaurant is very casual, with ceiling exposed with exhaust pipe running across. Seating is tight, especially for 2 people. Though the food is outstanding, we wouldn't bring out of town guests here who want to get a Naples experience. It would be great take-out however. They opened up a takeout counter since we were here last. Good idea. It was crowded the night we came, and have always been in prior years we have dined here. In future, we may just take-out if we can't get a table.
The prices are reasonable. If they upgraded their dining decor, they could probably charge more. However, I don't think they are trying to compete with the 5th Avenue restaurants.
For the most part, service was very good. Sophia was our waitress and she was exceptional. One of the waiters gave us a detailed explanation of each of the mezzes. The lady at the front desk reception was professional but not friendly. She sat us in a small 2 seater when there were open 4 tops. From a business perspective, I understand that they wanted to keep it open for guests with larger numbers than a couple. However, it makes dining not as comfortable.
Overall, very good experience and will definitely come back. The food really is that good.
1. Chicken farrouj excellent
2. Whole fish special excellent
3&4 Lamb Movzat (cooked in a terrine) This was crazy One of the dishes came out fabulous with lots of lamb on the shank. The other one came out 85% fat and was basically uneatable. This threw a rather dark cloud over an otherwise excellent meal.
Also, we had the "Chef Rachid" appetizer which was a sampling of 9 different dishes.
I would go back but avoid the lamb Movzat which is supposed to be their signature dish
