Al Jawahar Restaurant

On the Grid : Karim's, Al Jawahar and Old Jawahar

"Karim's is often featured on conventional Old Delhi to-do lists, but the neighbouring Jawahar Hotel, run by the family who were originally landlords to Karim's, also deserves a mention. Named after India's first Prime Minister who once dined here, back in the 1940s, Al Jawahar, and its sibling Old Jawahar, has a legacy to live up to. While Karim's has always been famous for its kebabs, Al-Jawahar prepares a mean mutton korma. This trio of restaurants is conveniently located in the Matia Mahal area, west of Jama Masjid. Our recommendation is to go carnivorous all the way and mop up those meaty juices with the fresh, hot naans that they churn out all day!" - Delhi Dallying
