The Bengali cuisine has always preferred Mutton over Chicken. We tied up with the lovely folks over at Eat Treat Online to showcase out favourite mutton joints in the city.
Ashok Meat Shop
This place is open only from 12 pm to 3 pm, but their Mutton Curry is so good and so famous, that their stocks are over within an hour of opening. So, if you’re ready to brave the crowd waiting for this place to open, you should definitely go there. It’s definitely worth the wait.

You need to go here for their amazing Mutton Qorma, best had with Sheermal/Laal Roti. They also make a great Nahari, but it is available only on Saturdays. They’re located at different places in the city, so they’re pretty accessible too.

Al Jawahar
Their Nihari is to die for, and you can get it only if you can reach there before 12 in the afternoon. Their Badam Pasanda is so good, your mind will be blown once you’ve licked off every bit of it from your plate and fingers. Even their regular Mutton Qorma is pretty damn good. You have to eat it to believe it.

Everything at Ghalib’s comes highly recommended, but you need to try their Mutton Seekh Kebabs. So soft and juicy, you’re instantly transported to an ambiance where Qawwali singers serenade you with their tunes. They have limited seating but the food is worth the wait.

Aap Ki Khatir
One bite and the Kakori Kebabs instantly melt in your mouth like butter. Their Mutton Qorma is also pretty great, and you should get these with their Shahi Paratha. Truly makes for a great meal.

Anand Restaurant
Anand is hidden away in the bylanes of Connaught Place but is usually quite crowded. They’re pretty well known for their biryanis, and you must go there for their Mutton Biryani that they serve with a little gravy. Though a little too spicy, it is very delicious and super easy on your pocket .
