I live in Delhi since 4 years and i used to like karim but one month back some freinds came from abroad and i invited them to karim, all of us were suffering at night cuz we got stomache infection and couldnt sleep the whole night..Goverment has to check the recent quality of food offered by Karim..

As some one mentioned above, eating meat is necessary for the food cycle to be complete. Or you will have to be content with cows, goats & chickens roaming your street and laying eggs in your porch. But, then you would complain that the Government doesnt do anything to control these animals. Have you heard of culling? why seals or deers are culled (read killed) Because they cause environmental havoc with their large numbers. If we dont eat the chicken and goats, we will have a similar problem in India.
And all so called proofs of vegeterianism being better is based on the assumption that you have a steady supply of plant based "alternatives" to meat which can never be possible for India's 1 billion children.
Again, no scientific study has proven that vegeterian diet is superior to a non veg diet. They all state one thing , that you can get the nutrients of meat by choosing the correct(hard to get) veggie diet.
Is it absolutely necessary for Rediff to give publicity to non-vegetarian stuff? I consider that killing dumb innocent animals and eating their wounds is the greatest sin. Your article is disgusting, nay, nauseating. Let me repeat. Non-vegetarians are THE sinners of this earth.

there is no point in explaining to NV's to have Veg only. As the animals dont understand anything, so is the animal eaters

there is a basic law of nature and the food chain that has to maintained to prevent ecological disbalance. dear sir, grow up! you shout murder after spending thousands on buying leather products? i guess this pseudo-moralistic behaviour needs to be done away with. we don't agree with your jaded, senseless, so-called self raved values.each to his own.

temper temper dear lady, i can see that you are a card carrying member of the voraciously ravenous hardcore non veg eaters as such the umbrage that you take by the comments of this author is natural, permit me to say that it would have been in better grace were you to substantiate the vacuous arguments you put forward with something a touch more logical, well each to his own as you put it in your wonderfully prosaic manner....

I'm an ex non-veggie myself... coming from a family of daily meat eaters, i cook my own veggie stuff to eat every day... but would i give gyan to others about the "great sin" of being a non veggie? i doubt very much. to each his own.. and thats the only way to world peace :p

I think Rediff is doing a great job for non veg lovers like me. Also it is a matter of personal preference whether one likes to have veg or non veg . If some ppl are happy eating grass & stuff, they should not complain abt others who enjoy non veg more.

I would strongly Disagree to you It is the matter of choice if one wants to eat non veg food. They are not sinners. Sinners are the people who hate others :-)

Veggies nowadays are more like our Indian Censor Board! Excuse me - if you have a problem, don't read the article. As it is it's no use to you because you will never know what it means to have such gastronomic delights.... so stop feeding the "goredom" seeker in u and just don't read what's written!
Karim did not open its branch in Nazamuddin in 1990s.. it has been around through 80s at least and may go back a couple more decades. It was one of the two Karim restaurants in Delhi for the longest time before they expanded rapidly. Please check your facts before writing them.
Whos gona post about non veggies delite sin bangalore man.. HELP me out. I am new... Some good places open till late on weekends. Maybe soemone would give timeline where to go on weekend.
When I went to Delhi a few days after my arrival,to collect references from the National Medical Library,Nevil,my room-mate,had asked me to take a cycle-rickshaw when I am hungry and ask for Karim's.He insisted not to eat at any other restaurant because,he said,he's sick of seeing me crying when they bring those saltless rotis and kaddis in the Doctor's Hostel Mess.So,no bookseller in the Sunday pavements of Paharganj could distract me from taking the risk of catching a rickshaw before the Railway Station.Moving through the flood of dispassionate mob on the busy streets of Delhi,like on a boat in a swamp in the storms,the rickshaw turned onto a gali,with its bells ringing in harmony with the curses of my pedalist,who,it seemed,is possessed with the ghost of a Fire-engine driver.Numerous galis and nonchalant vendors..and finally the smell of motton being fried with garlic came from the heavens,if only to wake an indisciplined appetite in me.Eating kebabs and half-mutton biriyani to keep space for the Noorjehan-Kheers,I knew,I am making plans to wander through the streets of Delhi for some more time so as to eat dinner there at the Karim's before catching a night-bus back to Rohtak.

Sir, I do not completely agree with you. People take milk from Cow ONLY after the calf drank it. The Cow will not give milk to anybody until its calf drinks. As for plants, if we eat a fruit or a leaf, it is not killing the plant. Even if you pluck a fruit, the plant is still alive. Lot of vegetarian stuff does not involve plant killing. Again I am not saying this is 100 % sure and that is where I partially agree with your opinion. Also it is true that vegetarianism evolved after non-vegetarianism only because man learned to be civilized as he evolved. There is difference between a lion or a tiger and a man.
places like karims are out of sync with times.At a time when vegetarianism is becoming popular all over the world , it appears incongrous to praise a non veg joint.
the tandoori bakra is for diehard sadists.why should u kill a defenceless bakra so your tongue can be pampered.it is a proven fact that non veg has no beneficial effects.

I agree with Amit. Besides, plants are also life-forms, and science has shown that they feel pain - it is just that they don't have speech organs to express it. SO don't think that you are superior because you don't "hurt" life.

I think its you who are sick. Non-Veg food goes way back earlier than Veg food for humans, which came after Non-Veg.
As for killing defenseless innocent animals, that's just your sick mentality. Do you think that the wheat you eat or the salad that nourishes you, it doesn't have any life & is not defenseless or innocent? If you don't know that plants also have life, then you need to go back to school kid!!
And the very milk you use, that's taken from cows & buffaloes depriving their offsprings of their motherly milk!! How about that??
There's nothing sick or wrong in eating non-veg, its the natural process. Everyone in the nature's food chain eats the ones on the step lower than them. Would you care to tell a lion or a tiger or a leopard etc. that they gotta stop eating non-veg & convert to veg? *roll eyes*
there is another item that i think you should definitely try out at Karim's. it is Gurda Kaleja. the dish is made of a lamb's kidneys and liver. although i acknowledge that it might be too much some some people to go to that extent, still i would strongly recommend that you try out the gravy of this delightful dish. i bet you would lick your fingers. and yes, they do not serve you only the gravy, coz its more in demand that the Gurdas and Kalejas.
