Karim's (Jama Masjid)
करीम्स
A famous Mughlai restaurant in Old Delhi opened in 1913, tucked away in a narrow alley near Jama Masjid, renowned for its mutton curries and mutton burra.
Founded in 1913 by Haji Karimuddin, the flagship branch is located at 16 Gali Kababian near Jama Masjid. Signature dishes include mutton korma, charcoal-grilled mutton burra, seekh kebabs, and nihari, paired with khameeri roti or rumali roti. The storefront is simple and the entrance is inconspicuous, and despite having three dining areas, it remains perpetually crowded. A meal for two costs around 1,000–1,600 INR. Take the metro to Chawri Bazaar or Jama Masjid station and walk through the alleys to reach it.
Opening hours
Around 12:00–23:00; some platforms show opening from 9:00 and operating until 0:30, with nihari served in the morning; hours vary across platforms, subject to the day of visit
