They serve exceptional mughlai food. The Nihari and the Korma in both chicken as well as mutton are delicious and a "must-try". The restaurant is clean. However much like most restaurants in the vicinity they do tend to get crowded and one often has to wait a bit before being seated.
The chicken nihari. OMG. Never heard of a chicken nihari concept, had heard of mutton nihari. Since, I'm a huge chicken cuisines lover, out of curiosity I ordered it and it was like wow. The taste, the spiciness, the juicy chicken meat. Just loved it. And the size of the rotis was enormous. Then we ordered Chicken seekh kababs. And it was wow.
The ambience of the place is gorgeous. Didn't think of finding such photogenic and delicious location in the area. It was one of the delicious lunch I had ever had recently.
I'm sure I'm not gonna go anywhere else to have chicken cuisines anymore for sure in Delhi.
They have 3 floors of seating. Top most floor is meant for families and is relatively cleaner and better decorated. Wash area could be improved. Service is quick. Place is almost always crowded, so there could be waiting.
Coming to food, we had khameeri roti and changezi chicken. Both were fantastic. Utensils could be cleaner.

The best non veg food you can have in Old Delhi. I just can't forget the taste of the items that I had. Also the price is way too cheap for having such a tasty food. Al Jawahar restaurant is present in the famous food street of Jama Masjid near Gate 1. This restaurant is present just beside Jawahar restaurant. We ordered Mutton korma, mutton nihari, chicken kali mirch, khamiri roti and rumali roti along with cold drinks. The taste of all the non-veg items were lip-smacking. I just can't forget the taste of it. The ambience is great and the portion size is unbelievably good. The staff behavior was top notch and it is the best place you can have good food around Jama Masjid area. We had to pay 1500 for 4 people and it was way too cheap. If anyone is looking for a great treat around this area then they have to visit this place or they will miss something really great. Totally worth every penny for this food. Recommend everyone to visit this restaurant and fill their tummies with heavenly food.
There are three floors each floor is clean and stunning.
The architect is very beautiful and the lighting is shiny.
Over-all I'll give the atmosphere 5/5
The service is a bit slow.
Personally i think the food is overrated.
I ordered a full plate chicken qorma which was around 500 ₹and the quantity was low,and the taste according to me was average.
According to the food this is an overrated place.
Tried the famous mutton nihari and naan. nihari tasted superb as heard about this restaurant. The naan was super soft. Also had firni not too sweet and was a treat to mouth.. Ended up having two.. Highly recommended. ✌
My recent visit to Al Jawahar Restaurant left me with mixed feelings. The roti served was decent, providing a satisfactory accompaniment to the main course. However, it was the mutton nahari that truly stood out. The rich bone marrow flavor in the nahari was unmistakable, and it added a delightful depth to the dish.
On the service front, I found it to be quite decent. The staff was attentive and courteous, ensuring that my dining experience was pleasant.
In summary, Al Jawahar Restaurant is, in my opinion, an average place. While the mutton nahari and service were highlights, other aspects left something to be desired. It's worth a visit if you're in the area and craving some good mutton nahari, but it might not be the top choice for an exceptional dining experience.
Located near Gate no. 1 of Jama Masjid, Al Jawahar Restaurant is an iconic eatery in Delhi. Quick and courteous service is the USP of this place. The delicious Chicken Changezi , evergreen Chicken Qorma , soft and tender Seekh Kebabs accompanied with Romali Roti and Tandoori Roti sums up the gastronomic experience in this place.
The prices are reasonable for the quantity they provide. Overall, a must visit place in Delhi.
Today I visited this outlet with my friends we ordered chicken changezi , tandoori chicken & chicken curry . The best thing i found here was their way of catering the customers , also the staff was so quick & agile in serving the dishes & managing other things as well .
Talking about the food it was well cooked , like the chicken was so tender & all of the dishes cooked & served are so well-prepared in vivid flavours . I would recommend you guys to please order CHICKEN CHANGEZI with khamiri roti , I'm you'll surely like its taste, All an all we had a nice experience of enjoying brilliantly cooked nonveg food in this world renowned restaurant .
Al Jawahar is a famous 🏛️ Mughlai restaurant located in the crowded 🌆 Jama Masjid area of Delhi. The restaurant has been in business for over 70 years and is known for its 😋 delicious and authentic Mughlai cuisine.
I recently visited Al Jawahar with a group of 👥 friends and we ordered a variety of dishes, including 🍢 chicken seekh kebab, 🐏 mutton seekh kebab, 🍗 butter chicken, and 🍚 biryani. The food was all very good, but the 🐏 mutton seekh kebab was the ⭐️ standout dish.
The mutton was cooked perfectly and was so 😋 tender that it 😋 melted in our mouths. We also enjoyed the 🍗 butter chicken, which was 😋 rich and flavorful.
Overall, I had a positive experience at Al Jawahar. However, I would recommend that the restaurant improve its hygiene standards.
