Em Karam delivers flavorful, well-prepared Middle Eastern fare with fresh pita, bakery items and standout dishes like grilled chicken and rice. The restaurant is warm, family-friendly and capable of hosting large gatherings, with memorable touches like a cucumber-mint drink. However, experiences vary: service can be exceptional or frustratingly slow, management attitude inconsistent, and a few dishes (limited menu items, knafa, clay pots, lamb rack) have disappointed. Overall it’s worth a visit for hearty portions and a cozy atmosphere, but expect occasional service and menu shortcomings.

Mohammad and his employees have really made my wife and I feel welcome. The food was delicious and absolutely delicious. The deserts were amazing, especially Mohammad's new creation, which is not on the menu. Image shredded Halvah on top of Vanilleeis. To die! If you like Mediterranean food, add this place to your must experience list. Absolutely the best in the southern suburbs!

The new ownership really elevated the entire menu. Everything was so enjoyable. The kubbeh was perfect. The mixed grill we couldn?t get enough of. Even the fish sticks were delicious! Always went for the beautiful ambiance before, but now we?re going back for the food. The staff is always super nice. The restaurant always clean. Great place for any occasion.

Really great food, the rice was really flavorful. The fresh pita bread was so soft and hot. Fries were also really yummy. The only complaint I have is the knafa- the cheese was not classic knafa ingredients so the flavor and consistency were off and the knafa wasn't cooked long enough in general, the top wasn't crispy or the right color. For $25, the knafa is overpriced and we didn't even eat it. Skip the knafa but the rest of the food was really good! Service was great too!

Service was phenomenal. Food tasted great, presentable and fresh. Talk about their cucumber mint fresh drink! It was our first time. From dinner dishes to dessert, we gave it a 10/10
