milk , lightly sweetened and flavored, theirs is exceptional. Also good is their breakfast halva puri deal. You get channa, a couple side dishes and halva a thick semolina sweet porridge and a couple of breads for I think $3. Ras...

favorite great dahl with splitpeas and kidney beans and probably another 2-3 items I have forgotten (including the carrot halva dessert which is good but too sweet for my taste) the spicing was moderate – not too hot but most...

One block away is Taboon, on the corner of 10th ave and 52nd street — upscale middle eastern, with amazing bread and meze/apps. Save room for dessert — halva ice cream parfait.

(broad beans, squash, various); semolina halva-type sweet (not that sweet). Good solid home-cooking style food. Flavors were mostly subtle, not the place for big tastes, but the haleem was plenty zippy. Didn’t love...

with the various courses. Afterwards we had a thick halva pistachio dessert and some rice pudding along with a ridiculously thick Turkish coffe. The service and the owner are entertaining, and knowledgeable. If you like Turkish...

I was just at Livermore Temple this weekend. Most of what was offered was sweets like Halva and Ladoo. I did get to try some yogurt rice which had a good amount of spiciness. The laddoo was inflected with bits of saffron, fennel...

prefer the crispier and slightly more flavourful rendition at The Lighthouse in Archway, but this wasn’t bad. A fairly good squid, tender and snappy. A side of ordinary spinach. Aromatic halva (made with ground sesame),...

ball of intensely flavoured fruit sorbet, rosewater I think, other stuff in there — and unusual mix of sweet flavours that was quite amazing. Also, a kind of halva ice-cream I think, quite nutty, again with a sauce that...

a baked halva. It was $10 for a serving for 2 so we hesitated a bit, but it was truly worth it! It tasted like what I can only describe as hot ice cream (though later we were also told by the waitress that the chef termed this...
