Ghalib Kabab Corner

The charcoal smoke rising from Ghalib Kabab Corner carries the scent of roasted meat and heavy spices through the narrow lanes of Nizamuddin West. This small stall relies on a simple cast iron grill fueled by glowing embers. Mohammad Irshad started the business in nineteen ninety-two, selling shami kababs prepared from a family recipe that uses finely minced buffalo meat. He stands at the counter every afternoon, turning skewers while the metal surface hisses under the heat of the fat.
