The Haleem Bowl

This place makes terrific Haleem - it's simply delicious. Just the right amount of masala and spices. Have ate it twice and will keep coming. The quantity is great too!

This is the haleem that all other haleems should be compared to, though none will measure up. I love how they incorporate the fried onions and ginger directly into it, lots of flavor, enough meatiness, enough but not too much spice, and the thick consistency make it excellent. The fact that it's consistently great every time I've ordered it (10+) makes it even better since food trucks can sometimes suffer from that perspective. I actually haven't even been to Houston in a year and a half but I've eaten Haleem Bowl MANY times in that time because it's the only thing I ask my parents to bring from Houston when they visit. Even frozen/reheated it's better than anything in Austin

My mom's friends kept telling her about a food truck that sells amazing haleem at Highway 6 and Voss by Cafe Yasmeen. Then, a few days ago, her cousin told her about the same food truck selling biryani at some festival and how much she enjoyed it. When mom told me about the raving reviews, we decided to go ahead and try both out. The parental unit went and ordered in person. They didn't mention any issues for them in regards to service. The food came in standard black plastic containers, the kind that minimize spillage. Crucial for desi food- whether to contain the stew or lock in the smell. The haleem is GREAT (4/5). I'm super picky considering I've been eating homemade from scratch haleem since basically birth. Careful when opening the lid, the fried onion is piled mad high on top of cilantro and just enough chaat masala (spice powder), with a lime buried in for good measure. This haleem is thick and definitely has that cooked down all day flavor to it. The beef is so tender that it's basically shredded throughout the entire bowl- no large chunks of meat. The lentils have also been pulverized. At first bite, there's a smokey-ness to it that I could not place. Keep going, the flavor gets better with every bite. The biryani though is dragging this place down for me (2/5). The rice is dry and the oil content is out of control. When I finished eating, my plate had a thick sheen from the excess oil. The chicken was cooked well and the spice level was decent. I freely admit that some people like their biryani this way, personally not a fan. It just wasn't anything special compared to other biryanis in town.

Back at my favorite spot! Love the food, the flavor and the quality. It's a perfect spot if you are looking for something healthy, with beef and oats. I had no idea I would love it this much after my first try, can't get enough of this goodness. You guys are awesome, please keep up the good work.

This spot offers a solid haleem bowl that is flavorful and comes with an excellent portion size given the very reasonable $8 price tag. They have gathered some hype since the food truck opened up on Highway 6 & Voss, and to give credit where it's due, the haleem they serve certainly carries substance to back up the hype. They load up your bowl with lots of warm haleem and top it off fully loaded with jalapeños, cilantro, lemon, and fried onion crisps. You can customize your toppings too and at the end of the day, it's hard not to appreciate the value you're getting out of the purchase. Their customer service is good too and if they add some naan/bread options to their menu, that will complete the experience in totality.

I have never been disappointed by Haleem Bowl Best Haleem in town!

They've got great service and their new burgers are amazing! Had a credit from halloween but as promised,( I came way after that time) i was given my order, definitely recommending to friends and family !

Excellent Haleem and chicken waffle sandwich was tasty and different. Will definitely come back to check their Biryani as well. Dessert shahi tukda or turkey as written on the menu lol was not that great but overall being a foodie I am my tummy was happy.

The best haleem I've had anywhere. The consistency was thick and unctuous in the most perfect way. The haleem wasn't greasy at all. It had the ginger, cilantro, and chilies already sprinkled on top and was then topped wish crispy fried onions and chat masala. We seek haleem our everywhere we go and this was so far above any I've had. The price for a very generous portion (2 can eat) is $8. I cannot wait to go back.

I'm a regular customer of Haleem Bowl and it is time they get a review. Haleem Bowl serves by far the best Haleem you can get in Houston. It will remind Karachiites of the legendary "Mazaydaar Haleem" from Bahadurabad. First of all, full menu desi Restaurants are bound to serve you Haleem warmed out of a fridge unless you get lucky and go in on the day it was cooked. Haleem Bowl gives you hot piping fresh stuff every day and their quality is very consistent. The Haleem does not skimp on the meat that is blended in but you can taste in every bite and a good level of spice that is a must for a satisfying bowl of Haleem heaven. Only criticism may be that it can be a bit too salty on rare occasions.
