Karim Raoul

At a Glance Owner and proprietor Karim Raoul has kept Raoul’s in SoHo, Manhattan, New York City oriented around consistency rather than the city’s hype cycle. The point, as Raoul puts it, is not to compete for the “best restaurant in New York” label, but to hold the line on what the restaurant does day after day.

Signature

Raoul’s remains the signature associated with Karim Raoul’s name, with the restaurant itself carrying rather than a rotating set of headline-grabbing markers.

In Their Words “It’s never become the ‘in,’ hip place. It has always flowed under the radar, never the hottest place in the city.” “It’s consistent, not trying to be the best restaurant in New York.”
