What people say, in short
Alamgir in Aminabad receives repeated recommendations for biryani and kebabs. Individual commenters also suggest nihari, korma and chicken kalimirch, while a diner who visited reports an enjoyable, good-value meal. There are dissenters who dislike it or would choose somewhere else for nihari. It belongs among the old-city food suggestions, but the individual dish preferences should not be read as a guarantee across the menu.
