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.

The restaurant stands out for its cleanliness, surpassing most others in the area. Service is quick, and the staff are courteous and attentive. The food maintains good quality, though the prices are slightly above nearby alternatives. Still, the emphasis on hygiene and the overall dining experience makes the premium worthwhile. After all, Old Delhi is more than just a place — it’s an emotion, a memory, and for the lucky ones, a meal to remember.

Everything about this place is fabulous. The taste, vibe, service is superb. The Nihari here is to die for. Kebabs so juicy and succulent, they melt in your mouth. Super buttery as well, so put your diet plans to rest and relish the irresistible taste of old delhi.

Good mughlai dishes served. Wait time is 20-25 mins. More or less clean. Chicken afghani was slightly over-cooked so taste was compromised. Tikka was juicy and tasty. Biriyani was good.

The restaurant stands out for its cleanliness, which is noticeably better than many others in the area. Service is efficient and the staff are courteous. The food quality is good; however, the prices are slightly higher compared to nearby establishments. That said, the emphasis on hygiene and overall experience justifies the cost to a large extent.

A great place to try Nihari. Whenever my friends visit Delhi, I bring them to Al Jawahar to try the Nihari, and usually skip Karim's. Dishes we tried :- Mutton Nihari - 4.5/5 Changezi Chicken - 2.5/5 (can be skipped because it feels like some schezwan gravy) Mutton Seekh Kebab - 2.5/5 (this time it had too much of haldi, so were not that good) Whenever you are in Jama Masjid and want to eat some good non vegetarian food, Al Jawahar would be my recommendation.

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.
