Old Delhi's best-known Mughlai eatery, in a lane off Jama Masjid since 1913, famed for meat curries, kebabs and khamiri roti.
Founded in 1913 by Haji Karimuddin, whose family traced its culinary lineage to cooks of the late Mughal court. The original outlet in Gali Kababian near Jama Masjid remains the flagship, though the brand now has many outlets in India and abroad. It is known for slow-cooked mutton korma, nihari, burra and seekh kebabs and rich gravies eaten with khamiri or rumali roti.
Tips
- Can be very crowded around iftar during Ramzan
- Several dining rooms around a small courtyard; ask for the original Gali Kababian outlet, not a franchise
