Haleem exceeded every expectation

I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Haleem made with real commitment to green cardamom and technique. The warming and hearty 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 Lahore dhaba was exactly right for this kind of eating. zeera cumin water 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.
