KAREEM

My name is Ahmad Yasin and I am dedicated to offering food that is high quality and generous in flavor... My first restaurant won acclaim from culinary professionals and press alike. Boston Magazine awarded Kareem Best of Boston 1993 and Best Middle Eastern Restaurant in 1995. Boston Globe reviews called my food "artfully prepared." New England Monthly applauded my "culinary integrity." I was awarded Zagat's Certificate of Distinction in 1999... Since the age of 12, I have delighted in inviting my friends to eat my family's food, and my friends have admired my presentation and art of blending herbs. I came to Boston to study pharmacology at Northeastern University, but here, as in Syria, I invited friends home to my meals; my American friends encouraged me to open a restaurant to share my passion for the art of food with everyone.
