Hal(ov)eem♥️ - 9 must try haleem places!
Ramadan season has almost come to an end, so is the season of haleem. Haleem is most loved delicacy during the month of Ramadan. I absolutely love Haleem, so does every Hyderabadi.
This year I almost had haleem every other day. I've tried many new places this year along with the classics. I loved some of them and few of them disappointed me. So, here are my top haleem picks, based on my experience this season, in no particular order.
My top Haleem picks for this season :
1. Grill 9, Kharkana
This place serves regular Mutton haleem, Mutton Supreme haleem and Baahubali haleem. I tried the Mutton Supreme haleem and it has all my heart.
Mutton Supreme haleem - it is one the best, I've tried this entire season. The classic mutton haleem topped with pathar ka ghost, nalli, egg, dry fruits, fresh cream, fried onions and lemon. It is absolutely delicious and was totally worth traveling to other part of the town for it.
Price : ₹390
Rating : 5/5
2. Sodabottle openerwala, Jubileehills
This place serves both Irani and Parsi haleems in veg, chicken and mutton variants. I've tried and loved both Special mutton haleem and special chicken haleem.
Special mutton haleem - classic mutton haleem topped with Tala huwa gosht. This haleem is not at all heavy. It is so rich, flavorful and light at the same time. It is a bit expensive for the quantity but it is totally worth it.
