7. Karimi Restaurant (San Jose, CA) – For more traditional “Desi Food” (Indian & Pakistani Cuisine), Karimi in Downtown San Jose is a great choice. They have a good sized space where large groups can get together. Some of my favorite items there are the Chicken Malai Kababs which are great as well as the Hakka (Indo-Chinese) style Noodles or Chilli Garlic Noodles with Chicken, both of which are very flavorful and tasty. Karimi is also one of the few places where you can find traditional small “triangular-shaped” samosas filled with ground beef and they are amazing!
