Daal Chawal exceeded every expectation
I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Daal Chawal made with real commitment to whole garam masala and technique. The rich with slow-cooked depth result was more complex and satisfying than anything I'd had before.
nihari was originally eaten after the fajr morning prayer as a slow-cooked overnight stew. The a Karachi biryani house was exactly right for this kind of eating. lassi was offered as the natural choice and it elevated everything. When a dish you thought you knew surprises you completely, that's worth celebrating. Five stars without hesitation.
