Muhammad Iqbal is a Pakistani restaurant as popular with taxi drivers and bloggers like me as it is with well, people who are usually a lot more conscious of where they eat (or are seen to eat). This Barsha branch is located next door to the Grandiose Supermarket and is quite well appointed for a value for money eatery. Wanting a change from my usual dosa-idli-vada breakfast, I came here to try their famous Haleem which thankfully they had not run out of. I couldn’t resist also ordering some Paya. The Haleem lived up to its reputation (super yum) but the Paya, while delicious, was slightly under-cooked. Irrespective, I’m hooked and can’t wait to return for a full-on lunch with my food buddies, Bruce in particular. Muhammad Iqbal – 100% worth a visit.
The interior…look at the cool ceiling.
