Honest verdict on Daal Chawal — good but not exceptional

Daal Chawal here was solidly made — boldly spiced and aromatic without anything to complain about. dried apricots was present and handled reasonably. But something was missing from the depth that this dish should have.

Pakistani cuisine draws from Mughal court traditions combined with local Punjabi and Sindhi cooking. The a Lahore dhaba atmosphere was pleasant enough. lassi was available and a good suggestion. For a reliable version of Daal Chawal this works. For an exceptional one, I'd keep looking. Three stars.
