The menu delights you with a crisp and limited variety of North Indian and royal food including grilled kebabs, fried starters, biryanis and lip smacking good meat gravies. Though the place does offer a few veggie dishes too, the place is more for the non-veg loving soul.jahangeer kebab

Probably the best your taste buds can get in Daryaganj, the restaurant is a take away and home delivery stop serving food that is too delectable to be true.
