Food fit for an emperor

I keep going back to Karim for a taste of the food whose secrets have been passed down for generations in a family that cooked for the Mughal emperors. After Bahadur Shah Zafar was deposed, the great grandfather of the current managing generation took to feeding the public outside the Jama Masjid, not very far away from where the restaurant is located today.
Alight the Metro at Chawri Bazaar Station and ask any rickshaw guy to take you there. You will pass through this tunnel, and at the other end is Wonderland.
Please do not come back from Karim without having tasted the sheekh kebabs.














The best naans in India? I don't know, but certainly the best ones I ever ate.









The chicken jehangiri.















And more stashed away delights.
