Opened in 1923 by Abdul Karim, Noor Mohammadi has been a landmark on Mumbai&rsquo;s culinary map. Back then, it sold only the Nalli Nihari, one of its lip-smacking specialties.
Iconic artist, late MF Husain, a regular at this eatery, was so besotted by this dish that once during a visit in 2003, he created a sketch of a rooster calling out to Noor Mohammadi&rsquo;s Nalli Nihari.

Before Partition, Karim&rsquo;s son Abdul Hakim expanded it into an eating house. In 1985, when third-generation owner, Abdul Khalid took over, he converted it into a sit-down restaurant. Not to be overwhelmed by the Nihari and the star-inspired Chicken Sanju Baba &mdash; a recipe donated by actor Sanjay Dutt &mdash; the fast-selling Beef Shammi Kebabs cannot be missed.
Cooked in the restaurant&rsquo;s outer foyer, on a busy sidewalk, the whiff of tender, spiced beef mince balls prepared on a butter-greased pan make it worth a visit.
