Mughlai food, North Indian kebabs, the best spots in Delhi and Gurgaon, and the culture behind every dish.
If you live in South Delhi, you already know that Defence Colony has some of the city's finest non-vegetarian food tucked under a flyover. The Flyover Market in Block D is not the most glamorous address in Delhi, but it consistently delivers some of the most honest, well-cooked North Indian food in the neighbourhood.
Most South Delhi markets cater to a crowd that prioritises ambience. Defence Colony's Flyover Market is different. The stalls and small outlets that operate here have built their reputations entirely on the quality of their food. There are no Instagram-ready interiors under a flyover. What you find instead is coal fire, iron seekh and recipes that have not changed in years.
The standout non-veg destination in Defence Colony is Qureshi's Kabab Corner at Shop No. 82, Flyover Market. The outlet serves Mughlai and North Indian food in a setting that prioritises the food over everything else.
The Mutton Barra at Qureshi's is consistently cited by reviewers as the best kebab available at this location. It is bone-in, marinated overnight and cooked over coal. The outside chars. The inside remains pull-apart soft. Reviewers have described it as the undisputed leader in barbeque items in the area.
The Mutton Seekh Kebab is the most ordered item. It is spicy, soft and tender. The correct way to eat it is immediately after it comes off the seekh, before the temperature drops. Pair it with roomali roti.
The Tawa Chicken has built a reputation in the neighbourhood as the most consistently good preparation on the menu. The biryani and the afghani chicken are also regular orders for returning customers.
Qureshi's Defence Colony is open daily from 12:00 PM to 11:30 PM. Delivery is available through Zomato and Swiggy. The address is Shop No. 82, Flyover Market, Block D, Defence Colony, New Delhi 110024. The phone number for direct orders is +91 96500 48222.
Delhi has a longer relationship with Mughlai food than almost any other city in India. The cuisine arrived with the Mughal Empire in the 16th century, took root in the streets of Old Delhi after the empire's decline and has been part of the city's food culture ever since. Finding genuine Mughlai food in Delhi in 2025 requires knowing where to look.
The term Mughlai refers to the cuisine that developed in the royal kitchens of the Mughal Empire between the 16th and 19th centuries. It is a fusion of Persian cooking technique, Afghan spicing and Indian ingredients. The defining characteristics are slow cooking, overnight marination, the use of whole spices, yogurt-based marinades and coal or clay-oven cooking methods.
Qureshi's Kabab Corner operates two Delhi outlets. The main location is at Shop No. 82, Flyover Market, Defence Colony. A delivery-only location operates in South Extension II. The menu covers the full range of Mughlai preparations: seekh kebab, barra, afghani chicken, nihari, korma, biryani, tawa preparations and traditional breads.
The coal fire and clay tandoor at the Defence Colony outlet are the key factors behind the quality of the food. The Mutton Barra is consistently cited as the best item on their menu by returning customers. The Mutton Nihari, if you are visiting for the first time, is worth ordering alongside the kebabs.
Start with the Mutton Barra or the Mutton Seekh Kebab. Order roomali roti alongside. If you are having a full meal, add a gravy. Finish with Phirni, which is the correct Mughlai dessert. For current pricing and availability, check Zomato or Swiggy directly.
Search best kebab in Delhi and you will find Seekh Kebab, Galouti Kebab and Shammi Kebab in almost every list. Mutton Barra rarely makes it into the top results, despite being one of the most technically demanding kebab preparations in North Indian cuisine and, at the right kitchen, one of the most rewarding to eat.
Mutton Barra is a bone-in kebab preparation. Unlike seekh kebab, which uses minced meat shaped onto a skewer, barra uses specific bone-in cuts of mutton that are marinated overnight and then cooked over coal or in a clay tandoor.
The bone changes the cooking dynamics significantly. The fat near the bone renders slowly during cooking, basting the meat from the inside while the outside chars over the coal or in the tandoor.
A properly made Mutton Barra requires overnight marination. The marinade needs time to penetrate the thick bone-in cuts. A rushed barra will produce a correctly charred exterior but a tough, under-flavored interior.
At Qureshi's Kabab Corner in Defence Colony, the Mutton Barra is the most consistently praised item on the menu. Multiple reviewers have described it as the best preparation at the outlet. It comes in 4 pieces per order. The correct way to eat it is immediately after it arrives. Pair it with roomali roti.
Order through Zomato or Swiggy for delivery, or visit the Defence Colony outlet directly. Open daily until 11:30 PM.
Gurgaon's food scene has expanded dramatically over the last decade, but finding authentic kebab in a city that leans heavily toward cloud kitchens requires knowing where to look.
Qureshi's Kabab Corner operates at Shop No. 8 and 9, La-Mart Market, Golf Course Road, Sector 54, Gurugram. The outlet serves the same Mughlai menu as the Delhi locations. Delivery through Zomato and Swiggy is available. Open daily 12:00 PM to 11:00 PM. Phone: +91 96500 60363. The Mutton Barra and Chicken Tangri Kebab are the most praised items at the Gurgaon outlet.
Most Gurgaon restaurants serve pan-Asian or modern Indian food. Authentic Mughlai, with slow-cooked gravies and coal-fired kebabs, is genuinely hard to find.
Qureshi's Kabab Corner at La-Mart Market, Golf Course Road, Sector 54 is the most consistent option for genuine Mughlai food in this part of Gurgaon. The menu covers coal-fired kebabs, clay tandoor preparations, slow-cooked gravies, dum biryani and traditional breads. Order through Zomato or Swiggy, or visit directly. Phone: +91 96500 60363.
Afghani chicken appears on menus across Delhi and Gurgaon. Most of what is served under that name is a rough approximation. The real version requires a specific marinade and a clay tandoor.
The preparation uses a cream and yogurt-based marinade with white spices rather than red. The result is a preparation that is visually pale, with a slight char on the edges and a creamy, tender interior. The Afghan culinary tradition of using dairy as a primary flavoring agent rather than ground red chili defines this dish.
Afghani Chicken at Qureshi's is available half or full. It is one of the consistently praised items at all three locations. Available for delivery through Zomato and Swiggy at all outlets.
Delhi and seekh kebab have a relationship that goes back centuries. Finding the best seekh kebab in Delhi in 2025 requires understanding what makes a good one: the quality of the mince, the balance of the spice blend and the coal fire.
Mutton Seekh Kebab at Qureshi's Defence Colony is the most ordered item at that outlet and consistently receives the highest praise from reviewers. The key at Qureshi's is the coal fire and the immediate service. Order it and eat it warm. The correct pairing is roomali roti. Open daily until 11:30 PM. Phone: +91 96500 48222.
South Delhi residents have no shortage of restaurant options. The issue is finding North Indian food that tastes genuinely traditional. For non-vegetarian North Indian food specifically, the options that consistently deliver are fewer than you might expect.
Qureshi's Kabab Corner operates two locations in South Delhi. The main outlet at Shop No. 82, Flyover Market, Defence Colony provides dine-in, takeaway and delivery. The South Extension II location operates as a cloud kitchen for delivery and takeaway only. Both locations serve the same Mughlai menu. Order through Zomato or Swiggy, or visit Defence Colony directly.
Both are cooked in a clay tandoor. Both are chicken. Beyond those two facts, they are completely different preparations.
Tandoori Chicken uses a yogurt and spice marinade heavily flavored with red chili, ginger-garlic paste, tandoori masala and turmeric. The result is the characteristic deep red-orange color and a boldly spiced flavor. Afghani Chicken uses a cream and yogurt-based marinade with white spices rather than red. The result is a pale exterior with charred edges and a milder, creamier flavor profile.
If you prefer bold, spiced flavors: order the Tandoori Chicken. Pair it with roomali roti. If you prefer a milder, richer preparation: order the Afghani Chicken. Both are available at all three Qureshi's Kabab Corner locations through Zomato and Swiggy.
Gurgaon is a city that orders food. The working population, the long office hours and the distances between residential and restaurant areas mean delivery is how most people eat on most evenings.
Qureshi's Kabab Corner at La-Mart Market, Golf Course Road, Sector 54 delivers through Zomato and Swiggy. For delivery, the Chicken Dum Biryani, Butter Chicken, Afghani Chicken and Seekh Rolls travel best. The Mutton Barra and standalone seekh kebab are better when picked up and eaten immediately. Phone: +91 96500 60363. Open daily 12:00 PM to 11:00 PM.
