|NIHARI AT SUFIA, KOLKATA| We, the people of Kolkata, have certain obsession over roadside morning breakfasts no matter what. Strings of local stalls selling kochuri sobji, radhaballavi, luchi cholar dal etc. is ultimately what we crave for. But, irrespective of those regular meals, why not try something different this time? Sufia's famous warm breakfast gives one such experience where people queue up early in the morning especially during the winters. 🔹 ABOUT NIHARI- The word 'Nihari' came from the Arabic word, 'Nahar' meaning 'morning'. It is made from the shank meat of beef along with the bone marrow. Slow cooked for 6-8 hours, the meat is cooked with spices in huge vessels sealed with dough. 🔹 WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT IT? It is said that Nihari was eaten on an empty stomach by the Nawabs during the Mughal period as a breakfast meal usually after the morning prayers. Soon as years passed by, it gained popularity as a home remedy for cold, fever, boosting immunity etc along with it's satisfying taste. Sufia Restaurant, an age-old establishment having mediocre ambiance yet setting the bar high when it comes to serving mouth watering nihari & paya. Two big tender pieces of meat is served in a plate (Rs 140/-) with coriander leaves and chillies garnished on the top going perfectly with gorom gorom dal puris/tandoori rotis (Rs 5/- pc) Lastly, don't forget to squeeze lemon into the dish as it takes you to a whole new aromatic ride. So, sacrifice your sleep for one morning & don't forget to thank me later. ✅ Available only in Beef ✅ Takeaway available ✅ Timings: Mon-Sun, 5am- 8am (go as early as possible)

A place well known for it's rich n delicious nehari serves with puri n tandoori roti at the morning 4 am.

Nahari is good here. No need to rush before sunrise like people who pointlessly crowd and rush early in the morning, considering very limited and densely packed shared seating space. Leisurely go around after waking up after sunrise around 6-30AM & relaxing/chilling, so that waiter can attend you and place is not crowded. Nahari will continue to be served here for rest of this month till end of February at the very least this year. It's better to eat the food here itself instead of any takeaway, since smaller portion (i.e. only one piece meat) appropriate for one person is available there for ₹120/- presently. If takeaway then minimum 2piece of cow, for ₹230/- and the fat etc will solidify and not taste as good as if eating fresh directly there. Although fried dalpuri type luchi/kochuri/radhapallabi is available there, better to instead have the gravy with something lighter like atta tandoori roti or khameeri roti etc. Attaching photo of present food Menu board. Also, just in case someone doesn't like cow meat there is also option of goat hoof which is very soft tender and delicious falling off the bone after long hours of slow cooking. But that gravy is not as tasty in being excessively masala rich type spicy, and also for just one foot costing ₹ 180/- regardless of whether eating there or takeaway. The Roti is for ₹10/- per piece.

As-salaamu alaykum dear Sisters and Brothers,

I visited this place many years ago when I was travelling from Dibrugarh, Assam to Kolkata.

I asked locals travelling with me in the train on tourist places I must never miss when visiting Kolkata and and someone mentioned that I should visit the Nakhoda Masjid.

After Al Fajr Sa'lah, I took a taxi and visited it. On my way out, I was searching for places to have a good breakfast. That's when I discovered this eat out down the road.

It serves amazing food.

I had rotis with Nihari paaya.

I have lived in hyderabad for many years, and this place served the best hyderabadi breakfast I have ever eaten, for life.

The food was so good, alhamdulillah. If you choose to parcel it or take leftovers, do not take it in the plastic containers they provide, carry a stainless steel container or tiffin box so that the hot food does not spoil when u decide to have it later during the day.

I had taken my leftover nihari in a plastic food storage container, thinking I would have it for lunch and it got spoiled.

আস-সালামু আলাইকুম প্রিয় বোনেরা ও ভাইয়েরা, অনেক বছর আগে যখন আমি আসামের ডিব্রুগড় থেকে কলকাতা ভ্রমণ করছিলাম, তখন আমি এই জায়গাটি ঘুরে দেখেছিলাম। কলকাতা ভ্রমণের সময় আমার সাথে ট্রেনে ভ্রমণকারী স্থানগুলির স্থানীয়দের জিজ্ঞাসা করেছিলাম যে কোন পর্যটন স্থানগুলি আমার কখনই মিস করা উচিত নয় এবং কেউ একজন বলেছিল যে আমার নাখোদা মসজিদ পরিদর্শন করা উচিত। আল ফজরের নামাজের পর, আমি একটি ট্যাক্সি নিয়ে এটি পরিদর্শন করি। বেরোনোর ​​সময়, আমি একটি ভাল নাস্তা করার জায়গা খুঁজছিলাম। তখনই আমি রাস্তায় এই খাবারটি আবিষ্কার করি। এটি অসাধারণ খাবার পরিবেশন করে। আমি নিহারি পায়ার সাথে রুটি খেয়েছি। আমি বহু বছর ধরে হায়দরাবাদে বাস করছি, এবং এই জায়গাটি আমার জীবনের সেরা হায়দরাবাদি নাস্তা পরিবেশন করেছে। খাবারটি খুব ভালো ছিল, আলহামদুলিল্লাহ। যদি তুমি এটা পার্সেল করতে চাও অথবা অবশিষ্টাংশ নিতে চাও, তাহলে তাদের দেওয়া প্লাস্টিকের পাত্রে নিও না, স্টেইনলেস স্টিলের পাত্র বা টিফিন বাক্স সাথে রাখো যাতে দিনের শেষে গরম খাবার খাওয়ার সিদ্ধান্ত নিলে তা নষ্ট না হয়। আমি আমার অবশিষ্ট নিহারি প্লাস্টিকের খাবার সংরক্ষণের পাত্রে নিয়েছিলাম, ভেবেছিলাম দুপুরের খাবারে খাবো, কিন্তু নষ্ট হয়ে গেছে।

अस्सलामु अलैकुम प्रिय बहनों और भाइयों, मैंने कई साल पहले इस जगह का दौरा किया था जब मैं डिब्रूगढ़, असम से कोलकाता जा रहा था। मैंने ट्रेन में मेरे साथ यात्रा कर रहे स्थानीय लोगों से उन पर्यटन स्थलों के बारे में पूछा जिन्हें मुझे कोलकाता आने पर कभी नहीं छोड़ना चाहिए और किसी ने बताया कि मुझे नखोदा मस्जिद जाना चाहिए। अल फज्र सलाह के बाद, मैंने एक टैक्सी ली और वहां गया। बाहर निकलते समय, मैं एक अच्छा नाश्ता करने के लिए जगह खोज रहा था। तभी मुझे सड़क के नीचे एक खाने की जगह मिली। यह अद्भुत भोजन परोसता है। मैंने निहारी पाया के साथ रोटियां खाईं। मैं कई सालों से हैदराबाद में रह रहा हूं, और इस जगह पर मैंने जीवन में अब तक का सबसे अच्छा हैदराबादी नाश्ता खाया। खाना बहुत अच्छा था, अल्हम्दुलिल्लाह। यदि आप इसे पार्सल करना या बचा हुआ खाना ले जाना चुनते हैं, तो इसे उनके द्वारा प्रदान किए जाने वाले प्लास्टिक कंटेनर में न ले जाएँ, एक स्टेनलेस स्टील कंटेनर या टिफिन बॉक्स ले जाएँ ताकि जब आप दिन में बाद में इसे खाने का फैसला करें तो गर्म भोजन खराब न हो। मैंने अपनी बची हुई निहारी को एक प्लास्टिक के खाद्य भंडारण कंटेनर में ले लिया था, यह सोचकर कि मैं इसे दोपहर के भोजन के लिए खाऊँगा और यह खराब हो गया।

السلام علیکم پیارے بہنو اور بھائیو، میں نے کئی سال پہلے اس جگہ کا دورہ کیا تھا جب میں ڈبرو گڑھ، آسام سے کولکاتہ جا رہا تھا۔ میں نے اپنے ساتھ سیاحتی مقامات پر ٹرین میں سفر کرنے والے مقامی لوگوں سے پوچھا کہ مجھے کولکتہ جاتے وقت کبھی نہیں چھوڑنا چاہیے اور کسی نے کہا کہ مجھے ناخودا مسجد جانا چاہیے۔ الفجر صلاۃ کے بعد میں نے ٹیکسی لی اور اس کی زیارت کی۔ باہر نکلتے وقت، میں ایک اچھا ناشتہ کرنے کے لیے جگہیں تلاش کر رہا تھا۔ تب میں نے دریافت کیا کہ یہ سڑک کے نیچے کھاتا ہے۔ یہ حیرت انگیز کھانا پیش کرتا ہے۔ میں نے نہاری پائے کے ساتھ روٹیاں کھائیں۔ میں حیدرآباد میں کئی سالوں سے مقیم ہوں، اور اس جگہ پر زندگی بھر میں نے اب تک کا بہترین حیدرآبادی ناشتہ پیش کیا ہے۔ کھانا بہت اچھا تھا، الحمدللہ۔ اگر آپ اسے پارسل کرنے یا بچا ہوا کھانے کا انتخاب کرتے ہیں، تو اسے ان کے فراہم کردہ پلاسٹک کے برتنوں میں نہ لیں، ایک سٹینلیس سٹیل کا کنٹینر یا ٹفن باکس ساتھ رکھیں تاکہ جب آپ اسے...
