“High-end Asian fusion with theatrical plating and a full bar. The chicken is confirmed halal — community-verified across the Karma locations (Wellesley + Burlington). Beef status is unclear, ask the kitchen. The sushi counter is the move; skip the bar.”

The wait for Karma to open was definitely worth it. The decor and architecture are so impressive and beyond what you normally see in Boston, much less the burbs. You feel such a vibe as soon as you arrive at the grand door and then see the large recessed round lit ceiling…

“Three pies are halal here — the buffalo rancher, the halal chicken, and the house halal pie. Mufti hasn't tasted, but a community member vouched. Order from the halal list, ask at the counter, watch your bill — reviewers report execution drift.”
