Nihari lovers flock to this eatery during lunch and dinner hours on a daily basis. Spices, taste, consistency and thickness of curry — every feature of the nihari served at Malik Restaurant will make you fall in love with it — one plate at a time. Since nihari is traditionally a breakfast item, this place opens up early in the morning every day and keeps serving people after midnight.
Sabri Nihari
Sabri Nihari is another noteworthy name in the list of places that serve you best nihari in Karachi. It is located on MA Jinnah Road, in the vicinity of Urdu Bazaar, Saddar Town. Sabri Nihari is also one of the oldest nihari restaurants in the city.

Waheed Kabab House
Don’t get distracted by the name of this eatery as our point of discussion is only nihari here. Though Waheed Kabab House is recognized for two of its extremely famous dishes known as ‘Dhagga Kababs’ and ‘Kabab Fry’, the nihari served here also makes this restaurant stand out.
It offers you the ambience of a typical roadside eatery found in the old locality of Burns Road but the flavours you get to taste over here are worth all the hassle. So, upon your next visit to Waheed Kabab House, don’t forget to try their nihari, garnished with fresh coriander leaves, lemon juice and ginger. Isn’t it enough to get you to drool over it?
