Purani Delhi is a haven for food lovers, especially those who crave smoky, succulent kebabs. The streets are lined with legendary eateries serving mouthwatering kebabs, each with a unique flavour and history. If you're a true kebab aficionado, here are some of the most iconic kebabs you must try when in Purani Delhi.

1. Galawati Kebab – The Melt-in-the-Mouth Delight

Originally crafted for a toothless Nawab, Galawati Kebab is famous for its soft, buttery texture. Made with finely minced mutton infused with over 100 aromatic spices, this kebab is slow-cooked on a griddle, ensuring it simply melts in your mouth.

2. Kakori Kebab – The Royal Treat

Named after the town of Kakori, this kebab is a regal delicacy. Made with the finest minced mutton and blended with fragrant spices, saffron, and raw mango, Kakori Kebabs are known for their ultra-soft consistency and delicate flavours.

3. Dora Kebab – The Thread-Wrapped Wonder

One of Purani Delhi’s lesser-known gems, Dora Kebab is unique in the way it is prepared. The minced meat is wrapped in a fine thread (dora) before being cooked over an open flame, giving it a distinctive texture and smoky aroma. The thread is removed before serving, leaving behind a juicy, flavorful kebab.

4. Mutton Goli Kebab – Bite-Sized Perfection

Goli Kebabs are small, round mutton kebabs that pack a punch of flavour. These bite-sized delights are made with minced mutton, green chillies, and fresh herbs, then fried to perfection. Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, they’re perfect for a quick, flavorful snack.

5. Chicken Seekh Kebab – The Classic Favorite

A staple at every kebab stall, Chicken Seekh Kebabs are made with spiced minced chicken, wrapped around skewers, and grilled over charcoal. The smoky, juicy flavours make them a must-have for any kebab lover.

6. Boti Kebab – Juicy and Spicy

Boti Kebab features succulent chunks of marinated mutton, grilled to smoky perfection. The meat is marinated in a blend of yoghurt, spices, and mustard oil, ensuring each bite is juicy and full of rich flavours.

7. Shami Kebab – The Perfect Blend of Meat and Lentils

Shami Kebab is a classic Mughlai delicacy made with minced mutton, chana dal, and a blend of warm spices. Pan-fried until golden brown, these kebabs have a crisp exterior and a soft, flavorful centre.
