Confirm Timing. Call shortly before travelling and verify the restaurant is open; one diner arrived after three timing checks and found it closed.
Allow Time. Build in extra time for dining or pickup, as reviews mention slow service and food arriving late even outside peak hours.
Try Nihari. Nihari is the most consistently recommended order, though availability has occasionally been mishandled.
Check Cutlery. If ordering takeaway or delivery, ask for cutlery when placing the order rather than assuming it will be included.
Check Portions. Ask about portion size and current pricing before ordering, as one review found a half portion priced like a full one.
Parking Options. Drivers may find parking at the back lot; another review mentions plenty of RTA paid parking nearby.

Food quality varies sharply by visit: reviews range from excellent Nihari to burnt Nihari, poor biryani and dishes that did not taste fresh.
One diner waited 30 minutes for Nihari before being told that none was available, after staff retook the order.
Some breakfast items were criticised as oily or below average, including puri and halwa and a disappointing Pakistani breakfast.
Reviews raise concerns about the wash area, toilet and restroom cleanliness.
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.
