Underwhelming Haleem — expected more

I was looking forward to Haleem here based on the reputation. The reality was disappointing. The boldly spiced and aromatic character that makes this dish special was muted — either from shortcuts with dried apricots or from scaling up production at the expense of quality.

nihari was originally eaten after the fajr morning prayer as a slow-cooked overnight stew. The a Lahore dhaba setting I was hoping for wasn't quite there either. chai was available but not suggested appropriately. I've had much better versions elsewhere. Two stars because the dish concept is sound; the execution let it down.
