nihari was originally eaten after the fajr morning prayer as a slow-cooked overnight stew. There's something about the a BBQ nihari restaurant at midnight context that reinforces the comfort effect. rooh afza rose syrup drink alongside is the traditional way and it makes complete sense. I come back to this dish when I need something dependable and restorative.
