Unarguably, the best nahari in the town. This outlet is the one of the oldest and an iconic shop of Lucknow and is the flag-bearer of Awadh’s rich cuisine. Located opposite to Tundey Kebab at Akhbari Gate (Don’t get confused with another Raheem which is besides Mubeen), this is a small setup which is always packed with people. You might have to wait for a few mins if going at dinner time.Preferable time to have Nahari is in the morning but you can have it anytime. They have a few options in nahari and you can choose based on your preference. What makes this dish amazing is the combination of Kulcha with which it is served. The Kulcha made in tandoor is little fluffy yet crisp and is an unique bread that isn’t available anywhere in India.Do try it if you love non-veg, this is one of the dishes that will stay with you for years to come.

Location : NOT exactly in Chowk. It will take 10 rupees by e-rickshaw to reach the place from Chowk. Situated just opposite to the famous Tunday Kababi gali and adjacent to Mubins, another famous food joint.Ambience: pretty cramped up, not the best of ambience.Food: The food compensates it all. Kulcha Nahari as the name suggests is the most popular dish and it lives upto the expectation. Paya shirmal is another famous combo. Remember the paya is ONLY BEEF. The price is very reasonable.

One of the favorite locations for couples, Tourists.Neat and clean hall.The best item here is Kulcha and NahariI rated it 3, because I always wait for 20-30 minutes to get my food served.Must try Pasanda KababIn desserts you will get only Kheer (RS 20)

The taste is very unique and good. You will love the taste. You need to go through narrow road. Its near to Idrees biryani which is famous too.

Too much of walk inside a natrow lane, however for Nihari lovers , you would get the taste u looking for.Ambience and cleanliness is not that great. They should work on it. The restaurant remains busy all the time and they could look at making it a clean and well managed place

Awesome nihari, must taste before you leave LKO

You should only visit for nihari kulcha. Not for the ambience or location. But the service was good. Small in size but great in food

This is among one of the iconic old shop of lucknow. For best in taste visit here.

In the whole of Lucknow this is the best place to experience food specially the Uber soft and crisp paranthas and nihaari. You will find the softest fall of the bone beef, mutton and chicken nihaaris served with chopped chillies, dhaniya and beresta. Add to that a few drops of butter and its a match made in heaven. The jalebi and Rabri is equally good. The crispy paratha when quoted with a layer of added butter and sugar is the best snack to munch on with chai. The biryani is equally good though they claim to have learned it from Idris but in my dictionary its way better than Idris. Try their special red coloured kesari shermaal of you have time.

The best place to enjoy nahari kulcha in vintage Lucknow. You can enjoy food till mid night at these places. Dont go by the front look of the place they have very good and clean setting arrangements, even separate arrangement for family.. visit this place if you want to enjoy authentic taste of Nihari / Nahari and best kulchas.. in the heart of old Lucknow..

This is the original Raheem hotel located near the Tunday kebabi at chowk Lucknow. They serve Great Kulcha Nihari Paaya and Biryani.Reasonably priced, good service, excellent taste but no hygiene.If youre in Lucknow & if youre a non vegetarian, you MUST try the nahari with qulcha at Raheems. Tucked in one of the lanes of Chowk, the restaurant may appear a little dingy but dont let that deter you.We walked in here for breakfast & had Mutton Nahari & Kulcha. Each of the dishes was mouthwatering. The portion size was adequate for two. Service is quick. The place can get quite crowded; you may have to wait your turn. But its worth it.Families & women can easily go here; nothing to get intimidated about.

One of the most legendary place for non-veg lovers. Best kulcha I have ever along with mutton korma and mutton nihari. Authentic in taste. You will definitely loved it. Totally cost to pocket place.

It’s all about tasteYou should try paaya nahaari superb tasteTaste was so good but service was just okayNeed to clean this place.Ak toti hai usme hamesha kam hi pani aata hai 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Lucknows iconic food heaven famous for its nihari, is an absolute must visit. Its not very fancy but the food is to die for. Pasanda kebab, sheeemal and chicken briyani are also a must try

This nihari is not ur usual ghee and rogan loaded nihari. A subtle aromatic nihari with signature awadhi flavor .

The best place to have nihaari paaya and kulcha. Must visit place in lucknow for food enthusiasts.

I personally didnt liked the thickness and the sharp taste of nihari .Rest its one of the oldest nihari wala in lko service since years.There kulcha is amazing I am pretty much sure that 2 kulchas will kill all your hunger and you will be like bhai ab nahi khaya jayega 😊Visit atleast once then only you will get to know about the taste.Review se aap idea nahi laga sakte taste ka

Nihari in breakfast. Was there in Lucknow for a short trip. But my friend suggested this place. Authentic taste of nihari with crispy kulcha.On the first bite of nihari it was like an explosion of flavours.Highly recommended. One would need to walk through the narrow lanes of the busy market to reach this place.The owner is humble and there wasnt much rush too.

World best kulche nihari... Pasinda was also awesome...

One of the oldest shops to have a kulcha nihari/nahari, with their breads(kulchas). The taste is good with affordable price. They have separate seating place for individuals and family. Visit here for old lucknow streets and a good food.

Its just one amazing having authentic Nawabi dishesService is super fastYou might find the place a little bit dark probably because its in the basementRest assured you will taste the best mutton nahari and kulchas you ever had in your lifeKulchas are just yumYou can have them without any gravy they are so tastyAs for nahari if you are alone or with friends or family always go for a separate quarter meal for yourself

This place is a hidden gem. You have to walk inside the lanes to get to this place. The original Kulcha-Nihari is served here. Very reasonable price.

People relate Lucknow to Tunday Kababi or Prakash Kulfi, but there are vintage gems that have to be explored. Reheems is one of them. Must visit for the soft yet crunchy kulche and amazing nahari. I personally prefer gosht over paya.There is Mubeen nearby but nothing compares to Raheem

Food is very good but service is very poor considering it being a famous place. Otherwise cheap good and would recommend.

Best ever each n every time I love thats taste and service also good crispy colcha pasanda nehari perfect combination

Mind blowing kulcha nahari... Combination is worth trying... Absolutely amazing kulchas... Flaky and crusty from outside and soft from inside... Although hygiene is a bit of an issue... But a little bit compromise is worth it...

Great Place at Lucknow for Non Veg Kulcha and Nahari...Valut for money food❤️

I went morning to Rahim ki nihari for breakfast. I was very hungry and this was the only place i thought can satisfy me. I ordered Nihari and lucknowi kulcha It was Best one i ever had. For was really delicious.

I travelled 25km to have the taste of famous Nihari Kulcha at Raheem hotel.It took a lot of efforts to reach there, but it was totally worth it.The taste is heavenly and the staff is really kind and humble.Prices are reasonable too. This place is definitely a must visit specially if youre a non-vegetarian foody.

Loved the ghilafi kulcha with mutton nihari.

Kulcha and nahari is best here.

Very popular restaurant...when it is come to nahari kulcha every child of Lucknow city takes name of Rahim, but i am cutting 1 star only because of its location... The location is very conjusted... I would prefer bike to reach there... I strongly suggest to go on two wheeler drive to everyone to reach this location...taste is really very good...

Very amazing food experience with freshly prepared kulcha and mutton nihari. Mansoor and Bilal bhai (owners) were a great host. The place serves authentic nihari kulcha. Reaching there is a tough job on sunday but it is worth it.

Always visit this place for its Nihari with Kulcha. Very subtle flavors mostly enjoyed with their kulcha.

Nice nehari biryani and kulja

Nice place near Hanuman mandir in main market with a good variety of jewellary collection

Best bihari I have ever eaten........!Must go for it...👍👍👍

Its good but they give very less quantity (pieces) . Just taste if you are eating Nahari for the first time.. you may not like the taste.. but they provide the best Nahari in the city.

Not sure of the reason for the hype for Nihari...Their naan was definitely good.. Was different...

Nobody can beat the Nalli Nihari .. but I ordered the tandoori chicken alongside and it was outstanding .. very good. Must try if you are a Tandoori food lover like me

Taste good but staff behaviour not good

Rahim ki nahari is famous for Kulcha Nahari if you are visiting Lucknow you must try it....

Amazing flavors and the bread was so flaky do try nihari and the kulcha

Nihari & Kulcha are fabulous. Ambience traditional Lucknawi. Utensils steel. Just go for the taste. Dont expect too much apart from food.

They serve stale food sometimes..u can observe this in morning.. Mutton Nahari Meat is cold and the gravy is hot wat does it mean ? Beside this the mutton biryani taste is worse it seems like half boiled meat without masala put into cold tasteless , faded rice ..worse experience today... In one thing they r very best...counting money !!! Disgusting😡😡🤬🤬

The one thing you should eat here is Nihari and Kulcha. Unlike earlier times Nihari is available all day instead of just early morning. The kabab is not much to write about. Went when onion rates are hitting the roof and yet they served a few onion rings and chutney as that’s how they serve Nihari. A big 5 star for the Nihari and the service.

Nihari taste is goodDont order shirmal ,it just okay.Kulcha along with Nihari is a perfect combo with reasonable price

Taste is different, no doubt.Only thing is its in very narrow area. And sanity is again a big concern there.

RAHEEM WAS BEST , BUT NOT NOW 😡 because now they compromised in taste, they serve stale nahari and biryani worst , never go in morning time or noon time in raheem because they will serve you the stale items which they had in their menu.

One can get really tasty Nihari here, one of the oldest Nihari hotel.You can eat many plates of Nihari here. Youll love the way they melt in your mouth and will ask for more.The bread they provide here are soft and awesome and is one of the finest bread you would ever eat.Price is really very affordable.Very much recommendable place to go in Lucknow.

If you want some goode wali nihari then reach the place before 8 am

One star less for Cleanliness which can be definitely improved. Apart from that the gate is pretty amazing whatever you order and the rates are reasonable. Kucha nihari is one of their best selections and sheetal is good too. Would definitely recommend this place for having one of the best Niharis in lucknow. The approach road is a bit crowded to try and take a bike instead of a car when you visit. Service was very fast and the overall experience was good. Again cleanliness can be improved .

A heads up, the restaurant is located in a narrow lane, car or auto wont go there you will need to walk at least 500 Meters and it is not one of the fancy restaurant you will expect. The crowd is not elite however decent. We did see few women there having meal without any problem. But if you are a big foodie, dont miss this one. Highly recommend.The restaurant is a hidden gem in Lucknow. It is one of the place to go for yummy Nihari. They serve delicious and creamy Nihari. Nothing can beat it. It will immerse you in its flavor and taste. I ordered for 2 Nihari along with 3 roti and 1x 500 ml Thums up the total came to INR 236 AI.PS: They do not serve chicken!

Best nahari kulcha in lucknow the original one.... but tooo disorganized

The kulcha is the best in the world 😀. I loved the ghosth nihari.9

This surely is meat eaters paradise they offered a long list of mouth watering dishes. Raheem Hotel is in the old area of the town (Chowk) and is famous in Lucknow. If you haven’t eaten Nahari, you really don’t know what you are missing. So rush up to have feast at Raheem Hotel. Considering the price, food is just too awesome.

Food is good, the only thing is little disturbing for me is the restaurants sitting arrangements. Be aware youll maybe not find a place to eat in season. Otherwise the foods taste is good and I highly recommend it.

Best Nihari kulcha in City of Nawab...Super Delicious Mouthwatering 😋

The best nihari and paya ever. Make sure to get here early in the morning to avoid crowds and enjoy the hot and fresh food.

Taste of lucknow …. still retains the quality of taste

Best kulcha you will get here and nihari too..

Very nice experience....love nihariNihari - 125(mutton)Kulcha- 15Biryani mutton -125Hope this helps

I loved it. The signature taste.Youll have to go through the narrow lanes of Old Lucknow to get here, but the sights and atmosphere gives it a one of a kind feel. The one you might get in old Delhi.The taste is just out of this place.Paye and Nihari is of course the main event, but a side course of roasted chicken was good too.Highly recommended

Taste wise mutton nahari is the best nahari in town. Kulcha is also very nice. Only bad point is that, it not a clean and sophisticated place.

This is my favourite spot in Lucknow. Service is good despite the rush. And the food couldnt be more tasty.

If you are in Lucknow and love non veg. food you have to visit this place. 100 year old shop serves nihari kulcha which is just awesome. They also serve some great biryani and chicken pasanda. Highly recommend.

Great food and taste.... Friendly staff and hospitality

Its lucknow most famouse restaurant in top 10.But service and cleaning very bad.

Oldest kulcha nihari shop #food #lucknowfood

Rahim is synonymous with Kulcha NahariThey are serving this delicious Non Veg food from a very long time.During Ramadan there is immense increase in demand of Kulcha Nihari.Taste is Simply Awesome.Cooked with perfection..the Kulchas are real soft & Nihari too is cooked with proper ingredients. .Price is around 100 Rupees..But believe me if you are food lover..then it is worth every penny. .Must try it..!!

If you are foody and like non veg they must visit Rahim ki nihari at chowk and have mutton nihari and kulchey. You will never find this dish anywhere.

Came from Delhi to taste the Kulcha Nihari. It was yummy 😋

Awesome food quality. Friendly staff. Awesome management

Delicious nehari and kulche

If youre in Lucknow & if youre a non vegetarian, you MUST try the nahari with qulcha at Raheems. Tucked in one of the lanes of Chowk, the restaurant may appear a little dingy but dont let that deter you.We walked in here for lunch & had Mutton Biryani, Mutton Nahari & Qulcha. Each of the dishes was mouthwatering. The portion size was adequate for two. Service is quick. The place can get quite crowded; you may have to wait your turn. But its worth it.

Taste of the food is absolutely good no doubt but sitting arena is below average. One should prefer takeaway. Beware, there is no parking area not even for a single bike. You need to walk to this place or take a rickshaw.

Fabulous place to have mutton nihari and pasanda kebabs, unfussy and might look a bit unhygienic to people , but the crowd keeps thronging in and service is quick . Ignore everything just savour the piping hot kulchas with some delectable nihari..do ask for the green chutney because that is splendid.

Everything is fine, dine need some upgradation

Excellent food.But service is not good.A low cost restaurant with good quality.

Forget the ambience, the mutton/beef varieties of Nihari go perfectly with the crispy, fluffy Kulcha. The biryanis are a great deal, if you like your Biryani aromatic and loaded with meat this is the go to place.

I have been eating at this place since my childhood days i. e for about 20-25 yrs . best kulche nihari i ever had. i have tried kulche nihari in delhi and mumbai at several places but its rahim which is best. this placed serves mutton and bade ki nihari( buff), paye ki nihari. they also serve other non veg items but their speciality is kulche nihari so any one visiting rahim should eat only their delicious kulchas with mouth watering nihari.

Non veg restaurant in Old Luknow. Well kown restaurant of Malhar dhaal. Famous dishes, Chicken Roasted, Locha, Nagari, Biryani, Tandoori Roti, Chicken Quorms, Mutton Quorma, Kheer, paaye.

Awesome Food with pure Lucknowavi taste and amazing awadhi cuisines served at pocket friendly prices . Kulcha Nihari is the most famous and delicious over here .. with and other grilled items like chicken and pasanda kabab . Are also very good in taste.

No one can beat Rahims Culcha and Nihari in this world.

Should try to have a bite here if you’re visiting Lucknow!Cons:1. The street is narrow go in a 2 wheeler and park it in a place and then take a walk.2. They mostly accept cash.

This is the second best dish of Lucknow. If you travel here and dont get a taste of nahari in Raheems, your tour is incomplete. Always a delicacy!

Great customer satisfactory service, authentic quality and genuine taste. Staffs are cooperative. I came here on a Sunday morning and it was calm and good.

This place was in my bucket list... And I must say this place is a must visit if you are in this city. The Nalli nihaari was yummmmm and the kulcha was a perfect match for this... The staff is very sweet here... Though this place is in a gully the food is worth walking some distance... Lucknow aapka seher Hume bohut pasand aaya

Well first of all the shop is in very busy area and its good if you just walk by self to the shop and park your vehicle far from the shop. So the shop is not very decorated one its just some tables and chairs. Ambience is alright. Its very crowded inside the shop. The nihari which I ordered was the , mutton nihari and the taste was very good. It was cooked perfectly and the Tari was thick and not too spicy neither too plain. The taste was the one which your tongue is craves for. Well all the 4 stars is for taste which was awesome.

The original Nalli Nihari and Kulcha breakfast place. Dont fall for the trap with the spellings. Real - Raheem ; Not - RahimOpens at 10 a.m. typically for breakfast of freshly cooked Nihari and Kulches. Numerous other items are available on the formal menu, but you may give them a miss and focus on the Brunch star. The older shop/open kitchen has traditional seating spaces, one can also enter the immediate lane and eat at a much more contemporary dining area recently developed by them. A must visit if youre in town.

Awesome kulcha nahari

Yummiest paya soup🤤 I travelled 32 km for this 🤭

My husband loved it esp that Kulcha and pasanda kabab. So delicious!

Taste in food but in the hotel alots of dirt, no hygiene.

Dont expect luxury, but the smiling waiters make sure aall izz well. If youre new, theyll suggest what to try. Women feeling adventurous and want to dine in wouldnt feel out of place too.Loved the brothy nihari, but what was even better was the Kulcha never had something like that before.

I heard a lot about Rahim ki Nihari in Lucknow but when I visit this place I feel that a local street vendor in Delhi can make much better Nihari than this over rated restaurant. The owner of this restaurant Rahim Chacha is a great person who do some jokes with customers to make them smile and the ambience too is average but after all the main thing Nihari for which this place is known not only in India but in some other countries too is not worth at all. The chunky pieces of beef in a 50 rs plate and of mutton in 100 rs are quite good but the overall taste is not as good as Delhitee want. The yummiest item they have is Kulcha I guaranteed that you never find that type of Kulcha any where in India except Lucknow.So guys visit at Rahim if you want tasty and so soft Kulcha and ok ok Nihari in Lucknow

Serves the best Mutton Nihari in town. The roti with Nihari was very awesome. Staff was friendly in nature. One thing that they should think about the ambience. Apart from that the food is tasty and cheap.It took time to find this place coz the signboard was not visible.

Small old restaurant but extremely nice staff and great tasting Naharii and kulche.
