The 38 Best Restaurants in New Delhi, India | Eater

"Price Range: $$ The Jama Masjid, a mosque built by emperor Shah Jahan (the man behind the Taj Mahal) is one of Delhi’s top attractions, but it’s worth visiting just to try some of the city’s best food nearby. The lane from the old city to the mosque is dotted with kebab shops and dessert spots, but for sit-down Old Delhi fare, head to Al Jawahar, which locals prefer to its oft-recommended neighbor Karim’s. Al Jawahar has basic tables, uniformed waiters, and an unchanging menu of classics, so bring friends and share a lunch of seekh kebabs (minced chicken spiced with coriander), thick and peppery mutton korma, and sheermal (sweet, saffron-dipped bread). Finish off with cardamom-spiked phirni rice pudding set in clay pots, and if you have room, a sweet, milky chai. Vibe check: Al Jawahar is one of the only places in the old city that accommodates longer, sit-down meals (complete with air conditioning)." - Sharanya Deepak

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

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.

I accidentally visited this restaurant assuming it to be the old Jawahar restaurant, only to realise later that the actual old Jawahar restaurant is situated right next to it. The ambience was great with clean, spacious and comfortable. I ordered chicken nihari with khameri roti and rumali roti. The price was on a higher edge and the quantity was super generous, but the taste of the nihari was quite average. I wouldn't reorder it on my second visit though. The waiters and the rest of the staff wore proper uniforms and the service was lightning fast. Overall it was a good experience, but in terms of taste I was left unsatisfied.

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.

Supposedly famous for their Changezi chicken dish, a little on the spicier side which has its effects some time after consuming this dish. We had their mutton seekh and shammi kebabs.. were ok. Don’t expect a posh interiors and cleanliness 😜 Went again with another friend and this time tried their chicken Stew dish.. this dish is a must try. Mild spices and flavourful the chicken was quite tender.. paired with khameeri roti it was a treat.

I had visited this place for the first time with my husband by seeing food bloggers videos and due to its overhype. We had ordered chicken changezi and mutton korma along with Khamiri roti. The taste of both dishes was pathetic. Chicken changezi gravy was full of oil, seems like on the place of gravy, they had served us chicken full of oil, so much unhealthy. Talking about mutton, we had terrible experience. On the name of mutton Nihari, they just put boiled mutton pieces in mutton stew , which was flavourless, no spices, no salt. I had never eaten such kind of mutton in my life. So pathetic experience. Moreover, service was not good at all. I will never visit this restaurant again. Totally waste of money.

Ordered Mutton biriyani and Mutton Nehari with naan. Both are okayish. You're not missing out much. The service is fast and they accept international cards. The pricing didn't feel reasonable, a bit expensive for the experience I had. If you're from Bangladesh, the mutton biriyani will feel disappointing. Our kacchi biriyani is far superior. But you can try to get the Delhi biriyani experience ig.
