Poor Dylan was stuck at the office on President's Day. But not having my spicy intolerant boyfriend around on my day off made it the perfect day for a Pakistani run.
After reading Jonathan Gold's Counter Intelligence years back, I've always wanted to check out Al Noor and Al Watan on Inglewood Avenue. Initially, I was planning to hit up both joints on Monday, but since Al Noor is closed on Mondays, I only made it to Al Watan. Sigh.
J Gold recommends the haleem, "beef braised with something like shredded wheat until it breaks down into a think, meaty gravy with the flavor of well-browned roast-beef drippings and the meat no longer discernable from grain."

However, my server recommended the nehari, a standard Pakistani dish which consists of a spicy concoction of braised beef, garlic, chilis, shredded ginger, cilantro, and a massive amount of orange oil. MMM!
Pakistani food can be really meaty and super oily. Don't worry. Just wash it down with their tangy Mango lassi and the pain from a clogged artery will cease just in time for you to head into your car to drive home for an after-nehari nap. ZZZZ!

The second you came thru the door, I could smell the aroma emanating from your little doggy bag. The food looked like lava!
Wow... that's a pretty significant layer of stratified oil on the nehari!
Also, thanks for the vote! :)
Spicy and intolerant is exactly how I'd describe Dylan too....he's like a serrano pepper with no patience.
HA:)
When we gonna have some vino?

IF YOU CALL YOUR BOYFRIEND IS SPICY AND INTOLERANT THEN I THINK YOU ARE AS SAME AS THE LITTLE GIRL WHOM COLLECTING RENT FROM WILL FARRELL IN YOU TUBE...BUT I LOVE THAT LITLLE GIRL W/OVER SIZE DRESS... IT WAS SO CUTE
Mmmm... I used to pick up take-out there on the way home from work once in a while when I taught at Lawndale. :) Been a looong time. Thanks for the memories!
Hey Jeni - I didn't know that Dylan was spicy intolerant...or is it "spicy and intolerant", or maybe "spicily intolerant"???? Aw, forget it....the food looks great!
i am not definitely not spicy.
