Ramadan 2024: A Year of Changes, Missing Stalls, and Haleem

Yesterday, Frazer Town felt quieter than usual, with fewer food stalls and less excitement in the air. I missed the lively crowds and the fire shows that used to light up the streets. But despite the change, I found something to brighten my day: lots of restaurants serving delicious haleem. Here are three spots I recommend trying for a tasty treat!

Haleem is a thick and savory stew made with meat (like beef, mutton and chicken), grains (like wheat or barley), lentils, and spices. It's cooked slowly until everything blends together into a delicious, creamy texture.

1. Karama Restaurant

Karama's famous haleem, a flavorful masterpiece that will leave you enchanted. Made with ground meat, lentils, and a hint of fresh mint, it's a culinary delight. Top it off with a squeeze of citrus for an extra burst of flavor. At Karama, every bite is a journey to food paradise.

2. Savoury Restaurant

I highly recommend trying the mutton haleem at Savoury Restaurant, where tender meat is cooked to perfection, blending seamlessly with aromatic spices, wheat, and lentils. To elevate your experience, it's generously garnished with crunchy cashews and fried onions, adding a delightful texture to each spoonful.

3. Zayan kabab corner

During Ramzan, this spot is packed with people. If you want to try affordable haleem, this is the place. The smell of the haleem alone will make you hungry. And once you taste it, you'll be hooked.
