Nihari n khamiri roti is no doubt of great taste. But it feels like you are sitting in a village restaurant of 70s or 80s era, food served in old scratched metal plates, which is very bad. They need to renovate the whole restaurant including cutlery. Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 1

I wandered into Noora Nihari around 6:30 PM after a long day exploring Delhi, and let me tell you, it was the perfect way to cap off the evening. Tucked away in the labyrinth of Bara Hindu Rao, near Sadar Bazaar on Barahindu Roa Road, Gali Umrao, this little gem is easy to miss if you’re not paying attention—but the smoky, spiced scent wafting through the air will pull you right in. The place has this raw, lived-in feel—think weathered walls and a no-nonsense setup that’s pure old Delhi. I got there just as the evening crowd was picking up—mostly locals unwinding after work, a few chatting over plates, and me, the slightly out-of-place foodie snapping pics. I’ve uploaded one of the shop’s front—check out that dim evening glow hitting the faded signboard; it’s got this gritty charm that sets the mood. The nihari was the star, no question. It’s meat stew, slow-cooked to perfection, with this deep, rich gravy that clings to every bite. The meat was so tender it fell apart with a nudge, and the spices hit just right—warm and hearty without overwhelming you. I asked for extra ghee (you’ve got to ask, they don’t just dollop it on), and it made it even better. Paired with a hot khamiri roti straight from the tandoor, it was pure comfort food. I snapped a photo of the dish too—look at that glossy sheen, flecked with ginger and green chilies; it’s as soul-warming as it looks.You sit on the floor with a durrie under you—no fancy tables here, just the real deal. The space is small, a little cramped, but clean enough for what it is. The guys running it were quick and polite, though they’re clearly used to a fast-moving crowd—no lingering chats, just food in hand and off you go. It’s only open for short bursts (6:30–8:30 AM and 5–7 PM), so I lucked out squeezing in during the evening slot. For under ₹200 with roti, it’s an absolute steal—I left full and content, the kind of satisfied you feel after a meal that hits all the right spots. Word is, it’s been a local staple for decades, carrying Haji Noora’s legacy forward, and you can taste the history in every spoonful. A heads-up: it’s not a sit-and-lounge spot. The vibe is quick, functional, and a bit rough around the edges—perfect for solo eats or a quick bite with a friend, less so for a big group. The lanes are narrow and winding, so finding it at dusk felt like a mini quest—thankfully, a chaiwallah pointed me right. If meat or oily stews aren’t your thing, steer clear, but if you’re game, this is nihari done right.Noora Nihari is unpolished, honest, and downright delicious. My pics (especially that steamy shop shot) only hint at the experience—you’ve got to taste it to get it. If you’re around Delhi in the evening, make the trek. It’s worth every step.
