If you’re a delhiite and perhaps an avid foodie too, then it is likely for you to be well versed with the popularity of Nihari among Delhi ki Bhukkad Janta..!!

A no easy meal to cook, nihari takes hours and hours of preparation and a hand of perfection. Meat (Mutton and Beef) is left to cook overnight with the stock of special herbs and spices, in the traditional vessels called ‘daig’ sealed over with dough. The result is a melt- in- mouth stew where the meat becomes so tender that it easily separates out as delicate juicy shreads, so as to make anyone drool to absolute foodgasm. Garnished with a squeeze of lime, sliced ginger slices and green chillies, its taste doubles up when eaten with Khamiri Roti cooked in the traditional clay furnace. A hearty meal of nihari is sometimes too hard for people to digest while some gobble up endless meals without troubling even a tidbit of their stomach.

We list some of the famous places for you to eat this delicacy of too much love and labour.

The name must have already took you to the clue. This restaurant located in zakir nagar market gives one the delight of exploring the pseudo purani dilli, while the aromas of biryani and smoking hot kebabs stir the senses and everyone seems to be on a high for food. A non descript entrance and a few steps trudged over to the first floor of Delhi Nihari Hotel brings you to a flashmob of people busy eating their hearts out. Besides Nihari, they are also known for their Bheja Masala and Qorma. They cook their nihari on low flame throughout the night, where the consistent churning of ingredients makes the meat all the more soft and juicy.

Eating Nihari in one of the oldest shops of old delhi is synonymous to tasting history through food. Such is the popularity of this shop that by 7am  they are usually done with their sale. Known for their perfect consistency of spices and rich aromatic flavours, this should be your next halt for a perfect weekend naashta.

Almost like a gem to the people living around Jamia University in south delhi, Al Madina never fails to impress as its taste remains unrivalled, like its popularity. We found people preferring to eat at their Abul fazal located outlet rather than the one in zakir nagar. Nonetheless, they are touted to be the best in the locality for their delicious Nihari and Paya.

Location: Abul Fazal Enclave, Jasola Enclave, Okhla
