Shah Ghouse is one of the oldest and biggest places for Haleem, it surely lives up to the hype and name. Simple and beautiful Haleem with the right consistency, a decent amount of bones in the midst of a super chaotic environment – giving you just the festive feel you want. The Haleem is smooth and flavors hit hard. Soaked in ghee, there is no way to not relish the taste.
