    As per my experience and taste of food this place sells one of the best nihari in Karachi. The owner at the reception is very humble and kind and they have different options for the payment you can pay in cash you can pay online. Dell service is best staff is very cooperative very active and very good. Place is very neat and clean well organised I did not see even a single drop of water on floor or any kind of dirt on floor the place was well maintained. I highly recommend this place for families for quality of food.

    I heard a lot about Zahid Nihari and finally visited there. Found a rush of people there. I observed an issue there and that was a parking issue as the road is narrow. By the way the Nihari was delicious with white Naan. Thank you.

    Mouth watering Nihari and naan. One of the most famous nihari of Karachi. You will never regret eating here. No family dining available. Ambiance: 2/10 Outdoor sitting: Yes Food taste : 10/10 Food quantity vs price : 10/10 Staff behaviour: q0/10 Service : 10/10 Parking: very difficult to get parking. As this is a very busy area.

    "The Nihari at this place is truly exceptional, possibly the best I've ever had in Pakistan. The Nalli Nihari, in particular, is incredibly rich and creamy, leaving me satisfied for hours after indulging in it. While it's undeniably oily, adding a squeeze of lemon or some greens can provide a refreshing balance to its heaviness. The braised beef is incredibly tender, practically melting in your mouth, and the gravy is luxuriously creamy. With the addition of the Nalli, this dish becomes truly outstanding. Highly recommended!"

    Previously a good restaurant and good taste. Now destroyed by poor service.. and the taste is getting worse day by day. But still the most painful thing is dirty atmosphere outside with barbarian like beggers. Atmosphere is worst now. Not recommended at all. Better visit its tariq road brand.

    Well, by far the best Nihari you can get in Karachi. The taste is so savoury and rich, even the meat is perfectly tendered.

    Zahid Nihari Restaurant is very famous for its verity of Nihari . Restaurant is situated at Mansfield street , Saddar , Karachi . For the last many decades they have been providing quality Nihari in Karachi. Although the sitting area is not comfortable and usually it is noisy because of the loud sounds from the street traffic and the crowd in this area. If you want to have a different taste of Nihari you can choose Nalli Nihari , Maghaz Nihari and many other dishes in this Restaurant, so make a plan now and visit this restaurant.

    Highly recommended place for nihari lovers. Oldest and finest spot for nihari in karachi. Must visit this place in saddar karachi. Tin packings are also available so you can take nihari to other places.

    Genuine taste of Karachi's Cuisine. One of the best Nihari's spot in Karachi. Delicious & well served. Multiple Nihari Options in menu. Economical & affordable with great taste. Waiters/Staff is well behaved and cooperative. Services is fast. Only negative impact is the sitting area and overall restaurant environment. Limited sitting area with a bit congested sitting arrangement.

    Nehari was awesome. I usually avoid food with black pepper. But I had good heavy diet. Even little over eating as well. Good thing about there food is lightness. Even if you overeat you will will not feel full stomach. One more thing which I loved was share of needy people. Along with business they take care of social responsibility of feeding needy and homeless people's. I think this is the reason they are growing leaps and bounds every day. I loved the food this much that I am taking tin packed back to Islamabad with me.

    Zahid Nihari is one of the finest Nihari you can find here in Karachi. From regular to Nalli & Maghz Nihari, all variety is available here. If youre a Nihari lover, come visit this place and taste it. Hope you will like it.

    Zahid Nihari, nestled in the heart of the Saddar area, has been a cherished dining destination for me for many years. I've been a loyal customer since the days when a plate of their delectable nihari used to cost just Rs.170, and I've seen this culinary gem evolve while maintaining its core excellence. What keeps me coming back to Zahid Nihari, despite the price increase to Rs.430 per plate, is their unwavering commitment to quality and taste. The nihari here is nothing short of a gastronomic masterpiece. The rich blend of aromatic spices and the tender, flavorful meat is an absolute delight for the senses. Each bite is a reminder of why this place holds a special place in my heart. One thing that truly sets Zahid Nihari apart is their thoughtful gesture of providing a complementary refill. It's a small but meaningful touch that makes the dining experience even more enjoyable. The generosity in portion size and flavor never disappoints. While the price has indeed gone up over the years, I believe it's a testament to the consistent excellence of Zahid Nihari. The culinary journey they take you on is worth every penny, and the nostalgia of those Rs.170 plates adds an extra layer of appreciation for their enduring quality. If you're in the Saddar area and seeking an unforgettable nihari experience, Zahid Nihari is the place to be.

    Being a Lahori, I always fascinated Karachi's Nihari Friends told me that Zahid Nihari is amongst the best Nihari in Pakistan. So, I requested my cousin to bring this nihari while coming from his KHI visit. Today, I enjoyed this nihari with crispy paratha in Breakfast. And guys, its the best nihari I've ever had. Better than any nihari of Lahore; Be it Waris Nihari or whatever... Loved this nihari. Even my kids like it so much Tin Pack price: 1000 Rs Taste: 10/10 Highly recommended

    Evergreen experience of nihari in karachi I would recommend the whole world to try it at once and get an amazing experience of zahid nihari Places where you can find it are Tariq Road and Saddar I almost go every month or twice in a month to have, it is that tasty Another recomendation is to have a special nihari with nalli(bone marrow),magaz(brain) fried in ghee and ORDER 7UP that enhance the flavour. Order fresh naan hot right from the tandoor, it tastes better when its hot and crispy. One of my favourite places to eat out even, when I am not in a mood of eating 🤣😂. Always dine in when craving to eat because dilevery or take out will kill the essence and flavour.

    Zahid Nihari has fairly lost its tastes and quality standard that it once maintained in the last 2 to 3 decades , the higher rates of fuel and wheat has raised inflation , but quality of Nihari and Nan is not up to mark , even at the higher rates .. the buyer is worried about return of money back quality product .. the today's trend is to get the maximum quantity and to pay the discounted price at best .. Zahid Nihari may realizes the crucial point of today's marketing trend of pivotal importance to maintain the quality and quantity and to cut the deeper slice of take home profits ..

  • 5/5 Zargham A. 3 months ago on Google • 31 reviews New
    The nihari here is exceptional. The best nihari I've had by far, and possibly ever in Pakistan. Nalli Nihari (Braised Beef with Bone Marrow) in particular was so rich, creamy and filling that it made my taste buds crave it every morning. I had this dish around 11AM and I did not feel a tinge of hunger till it was 8PM. It is an oily dish, that cannot be escaped. To escape from how rich and heavy it is, I recommend using a lemon or some greens to create some freshness. It will make cleaning the plate, even if you feel full, that much easier. The braised beef falls apart in your hands, the individual fibres of the muscle simply are cooked to perfection, and the gravy is rich creamy and really heavy. With the addition of the Nalli, this dish reaches new heights. Highly recommended!

    Saddar branch..the nihari was delicious..had opted for the magaz one..the heat is just enough..the naans were a bit thick for my liking..nihari is better than nihari inns which is rather bland.. although they have a family room am sure the well heeled will not go there..

  • 5/5 Saroche Ali J. 2 years ago on Google
    As the saying goes in Karachi, ‘one’ of the best places to eat Nihari. Hands down the best I’ve had in Karachi, though Nihari is freshest in the afternoon, you can have it in the evening as well but by that time it’s not that fresh and meat is not tender anymore as it’s cooked during the daytime.

  • 5/5 Sajjad N. 1 year ago on Google
    Good nehari loved it Tried beef qeema also but not upto the mark. Nehri is far better.♥️ Reasonable rates.

  • 4/5 Habib Ur R. 1 year ago on Google

  • 3/5 Paul H. 1 year ago on Google
    Too expensive now. Not worth it. 320 for a chicken korma. One average sized chicken piece in it. Barely enough for an adult male. Only the Nihari is still good. One single plate can be eaten by two adults.

  • 1/5 herry d. 1 year ago on Google
    Price of foods and break fast items very rapidly increasing, every where food dine in facilities available with great ambience and convenience but here we count not found such comfortable environment. Most of the time professionals and post graduate doctors came here to have some lunch and breakfast but no proper sitting arrangement here. Service not dedicatedly managed , counter vacant , seats dusty , smoking tables and chairs uncomfortable

  • 4/5 Sayyad R. 1 year ago on Google
    Its good. Food taste is great and price is reasonable. But people must take care of cleanliness of surroundings. Only shop keepers and adminstration cannot clean the area

  • 5/5 Pizza D. 1 year ago on Google
    the food is cooked with love and affection here. That is why it is not only tasty but healthy as well. There quality hasn’t descended but ascends day by day. Zahid nihari is a MUST every weekend!

  • 5/5 Muhammad S. 1 year ago on Google

    Food was good but at the end they were charging us extra amount when we calculated it was minimum then what they told us and when we told them that you are charging extra from us they got angry first and in the end when we proved that we are on truth then no body apologized to us and no body was feeling ashamed 😔, all time best nehari in karachi but kindly calculate before paying for your food.

  • 4/5 Ronald R. 8 months ago on Google
    If you want an authentic Nihari experience in Karachi, Zahid Nihari will not disappoint you! Even though it is not the oldest, but the taste is as authentic as ever. With hot and fresh Naan made right there and then, this place will most definitely fill your appetite for a good Nihari. Give this place a go!

  • 4/5 waqqas K. 7 months ago on Google
    It's like street side food environment. But one of the best Nihari seller in Karachi. Try at least once if you like Nihari

  • 5/5 Asim Rasheed R. 8 months ago on Google
    Food is delicious and served hot with freshly baked Naan (bread). Price is reasonable and 1 single serving is sufficient for 2 person's. Recommended

  • 3/5 Sohail K. 6 months ago on Google
    Visited this place after 25 years during my recent visit, Nihari tastes different and not the same as it was famous for, Not sure they use real beef, to me the meat tastes like camel and if you are not used to the meat chances are your stomach gets upset and you’ll have loose motions for sure.

  • 5/5 Syed 5. 6 months ago on Google
    Nehari is best and is very tasty...but you can't sit there as it is very hot and the place is open so no air conditioning system so better is to get your nehari packed and eat it in your home or hotel

  • 4/5 Zarrar H. 5 months ago on Google
    Aromic beef curry with fresh salad and excellent local bread (naan) is the hallmark of this restaurant from last half century. Parking and washrooms are not there but take away is considered a good option.

  • 3/5 Eating Bro (. 4 months ago on Google
    Had this zhaid after a long time. The nihari I feel across Karachi just like biryani has lost its touch. Just cornflour and peppery salan I would not call this nihair although as a child I remember loving this place. Heart burn was almost instant had a very difficult night after so not worth it for me. They have quite a few seating areas 2 mens hall in the back lane and a small family area as well. For a street nihari spot the family area was good clean and service was quick.

  • 1/5 Dr J. 2 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    The worst ever experience here. The taste is ZERO and hygiene level also poor. The taste of University Hostel Haleem is far better than this nehari. But there is rush of people and I think people of Karachi have no sense of taste or they haven't taste anything good yet. Never Recommend it to anyone.
