Iftar feasts offer many delightful treats but, in most settings, all eyes are mostly trained on the piece de resistance – the Haleem. A dish that takes plenty of hours and skilled cooks, haleem is a meaty mixture that can have your tummy and soul singing a gleeful tune. Here’s where you can get the best haleem in Bangalore:
Ring In The Holy Month Of Ramadan With Bowls Of Soulful Haleem At These Places
The Deagh
A humble establishment on Frazer Town’s MM Road, The Deagh is a little known gem. Every Ramzan, the kitchen works overtime and cooks toil over huge handis of haleem. We recommend the mutton version where the meat is a cooked to a melt-in-mouth consistency along with spices, wheat and lentils. The haleem, at The Deagh, is then topped with crunchy cashews and fried onions.
Chichaba’s Taj
During Ramzan, this popular restaurant attracts crowds from near and afar. Their outdoor stalls do brisk business selling boxes of haleem in mutton and chicken versions. Back home, the meaty aromas of the haleem are sure to get your mouth watering. And one bite into the luscious dish and you are sure to go weak in the knees.
Karama Restaurant
Come Ramzan and the restaurant and its surroundings come to life in the most happy way. This place is known for having stalls filled with meat preparations of your choices especially during iftar. Karama is also known for its haleem which is rich and the aromas of which are bound to leave you spellbound. Ground meat and lentils with a fresh hit of mint is what you will het here. Add the extra citrus for more flavour and you're set for the day.
Hotel Fanoos
We needn't say much about this legendary joint but what we want to say is that these guys know the trick to a great haleem. It's the creamy consistency, the freshness of the meat and the overall welcoming flavour that does the trick here. Get it parcelled to avoid the crowds and relish your Ramzan favourites.
Charminar Kabab Paradise
Famously touted by many to be the best haleem in the city, these guys don't joke around when it comes to the hearty dish. Topped with a layer of fried onions, mint and a wedge of lemon, you will need to insert your spoon through a layer of grease to get to the meaty treasure within. A bowl will leave you satisfied and you will want the flavours to linger more and more as you reach the end. You need to hit the joint up.
