Al Jawahar Restaurant

Our experience was good.. Food: was tasty and decent quantity aswell. Dishes were clean and hygiene was maintained. Also the food was fresh and flavourfull.. Service: Staff was fast and respect full also pulled chairs for us. Rest spoke well and assisted us as required. Atmosphere: As I went late night was calm and quite peaceful no unwanted music was played and was place clean and nice. Not too elegant or too facncybut decent for a casual foodies dine in setup.

Recently I visited this restaurant to try Chicken Changezi or Chicken Korma but I tried the first one with Khamiri roti. Changezi chicken comes with tomato dominant gravy, so it's a little sour and full of spices, full of rogan(oil). Khamiri roti was quite huge than normal roti but soft. Salads and Green chutney was complimentary. Overall the dish was good but too oily. Serving staff and cleaning needs improvements.

Old Delhi is not just a place. It is a mood, a memory, and, if you are lucky, a meal. For me, that meal lives at Al Jawahar, just a few steps from the grand Jama Masjid. You do not just eat here. You step into Mughlai history, one bite at a time. I went with one goal: to sink my teeth into their famous seekh kebabs and khamiri roti. The second you walk in, the air hits you, spiced and smoky and completely irresistible. The kebabs arrive glistening, soft enough to melt at a nudge, carrying a spice blend so perfect you almost do not want to analyse it. You just close your eyes and savour. Then comes the khamiri roti, warm and pillowy, with a slight tang that plays beautifully with the richness of the meat. Together, they are not just a pairing. They are a love story. The place buzzes with chatter, clinking plates, and the hum of hungry people getting exactly what they came for. Friendly staff, no-frills charm, and food that speaks Delhi’s love language. If you want to know the real city, skip the tourist brochures. Come here, take that first bite, and you will understand everything.

I've heard so much about this place. I was super bummed about the food and the taste. Even the vibe wasn't as good as everyone said. The AC wasn't working or cooling the floor. We got the Mutton nihari, and it was the worst mutton I've ever had. It wasn't even chewable.

We ordered Mutton Gilfi kebab, Mutton Burrah, Butter Naan, Mutton Jahangiri and Chicken Changhezi. Food is very good and we went in peak time of Ramzaan. Staffs are generous. Quality and quantity is pretty good.

Foods are really delicious! But I personally liked kabab most. Furthermore I would say paya is the yummiest but their cooking style for Nihari should change, don't know why it is salty all the time. Last time I had Nihari it was not up to the mark at all, meat wasn’t tender, butter nan wasn’t soft but I prefer rumali roti!

Lots of space downstairs and upstairs. Was quite clean and relaxed compared to the chaos on the streets outside (during Ramadan). Chicken Changezi was delicious. The half quantity for Rs 550 is humongous. Can easily feed 3 people. Tandoori Roti was awesome too.

Just went to Al Jawahar at Jama Masjid as we were fed up with rude behavior of staff at Kareem's . Here at Al Jawahar Staff is very good. Excellent Khamiri Roti, the best in Delhi. You can have it alone without any dish.. Mutton Jahangiri and Mutton Nahari was good the only complaint is the pieces they serve are very small but great taste
