Rahim's Kulcha Nihari & Pasanda Chowk: Century-Old Nawabi Feast Beside Akbari Gate

The Peerless Art of Awadhi Gravy & Charcoal Pasanda: Rahim's

Facing Mubeen's across the bustling Akbari Gate alleyway is its historic and friendly rival: Rahim's. Known for a slightly more aromatic and velvety spice profile, Rahim's has fed poets, scholars, and traveling gourmands for over a hundred years.

Beyond their signature Nihari, Rahim's is revered across India for its Pasanda Kebabs. Tender escalopes of choice mutton are flattened, marinated in yogurt, raw papaya, and roasted garam masala, then pinned onto flat iron skewers and seared over smokeless charcoal embers until caramelized.
