Munawar Abad (pronounced as munaav var aa baad; اردو = منور اباد) locally known as Muniwar (Munawarabad), is a town located in heart of Srinagar(KMR). It is barely 2 km from Lal Chowk. Munawar-abad is the main link between downtown Srinagar and central Srinagar. It is famous for Ikhwan Hotel, Ikhwan Chowk, S.M.D. High School, Munawar-abad Jamia Masjid, Shrine of Hazrat Sayed Hussain Khwarizmi, Bakeway Bakery etc. Tujji (mutton tikka) of Khayam Road (Khayamchi Tujji) are famous all over Kashmir and outside Kashmir also.[citation needed]
Due to its central location, Muniwar is now becoming an important commercial hub of the city. New shopping complexes are being built. Also there are a number of guest houses and hotels which provide accommodation to tourists, students from other states and other people who come to Srinagar for business purposes. Near Baba Demb Road there is Srinagar's biggest furniture market.
