A rich, deeply spiced halal beef stew simmered low and slow for hours until the meat is meltingly tender. Beef Nihari is a beloved South Asian comfort food, best enjoyed with fresh naan to soak up every bit of the gravy.
Beef Nihari is a slow-cooked beef stew built on a deeply layered blend of spices, traditionally simmered overnight so the meat becomes fall-apart tender and the gravy develops a rich, dark colour and intense flavour.
At Shinwari Karahi, we prepare our Beef Nihari the traditional way, finished with fresh ginger, green chili and cilantro. It's a favourite among guests looking to explore beyond karahi and try another classic of the Afghan-Pakistani table.

Regular Customer
"The nihari is rich, hearty and packed with flavour. Perfect for a cold Calgary day, and the naan here is great for scooping it up."
Local Foodie
"One of the better nihari dishes I've had in the city — the meat is incredibly tender and the spice blend is well balanced."
