Ranked by TableJourney editorial score.
Minced mutton or chicken mixed with onion, herbs and spices, pressed around long skewers and grilled over charcoal, then eaten with onion and mint chutney.
Kebab grills line the lanes around Jama Masjid, where Karim's, open since 1913, added seekh kebabs to its menu over the years and Qureshi Kabab Corner cooks them straight off a charcoal sigri. In winter, Delhi's food writers send readers to these Old Delhi counters to eat seekh kebabs standing in the fog, and Ghalib Kabab Corner near the Nizamuddin dargah keeps a smaller grill going to the south.
