Overnight In The Daig
Beef Nihari in Ajman
ذائقہ تمہارا · سلیقہ ہمارا
The king of Lahori breakfasts and the pride of our daig — beef simmered low and slow until it surrenders, in a gravy deep enough to get lost in. Plain or fry, with naan hot off the tandoor.
Nihari prices
Nihari & Naan Deal — AED 22: half nihari with fresh tandoori naan. The smart order.
Slow is the whole secret
Nihari doesn't tolerate shortcuts. The name comes from nihar — morning — because in old Lahore the pot went on at night and opened at dawn. Ours works the same way: beef and whole spices simmered for hours in the daig until the meat gives up and the gravy turns dark, glossy and rich.
Order it plain for the classic, or fry — finished with a sizzling tarka — when you want it louder. Either way it lands with the proper garnish: ginger matchsticks, green chilli, fresh coriander, lemon on the side.
Tear the naan. Dip. That's the whole recipe for a good day.

Also from the daig
Nihari shares the fire with biryani from AED 15, beef haleem (AED 15/28) and chicken karahi (AED 35/70) — and the coals keep the Mix BBQ Platter (AED 45) coming.
