The Bottom Line

Daily Restaurant is a Pakistani restaurant in Oud Metha, and Nihari is the main reason to consider it. Reviews describe the dish as rich and flavourful, with tender beef and gravy, while others call it one of the best in town. The kebabs are another reliable-looking choice: diners mention Bihari kebab, chicken tikka and malai boti, with the kebabs described as tender and juicy.

There is more to explore if you are visiting for breakfast or a group meal. The branch has been praised for Pakistani breakfast, including halwa puri, and reviews also mention biryani, Kadai, Haleem, Paya, lassi and desserts such as rabri and kheer. The setting is described as spacious and family-friendly, with seating for larger groups.

Parking is a practical plus, with reviews mentioning a back lot and RTA paid parking nearby. The experience is not entirely consistent. Several customers report slow service, delayed pickup orders and poor handling when Nihari was unavailable.

Food complaints include burnt or stale items, oily puri and halwa, disappointing biryani, and dishes that did not taste fresh. Check timings before making a long trip, allow extra time, and ask about portions and takeaway cutlery. Restroom cleanliness has also been flagged.
