Haveli Restaurant
“They also offered us complimentary mango ice cream for dessert, and some hot towels to wipe down our hands after dinner.”
“They closed their and I guess the bought Havelli but the menu is still Banjara's menu.”
“The restaurant was pretty empty when we arrived, so that may account for the quick and attentive service.”

There was no hostess greeting me as I walked in and I stood there for a good 5 mins until she came out of the bathroom and sat me at my reserved table.
I wanted something small but not heavy so I ordered the Kemma Nan. When everyone got their dish, my plate was empty so where was my food under the freaking Garlic Nan. Are they fucking serious that they couldn't fucking put it in another basket. I was so disappointed that there was beef paste here and there in my Kemma Nan so where's the actual meat! One of my friend's chicken dish was very dried and overcooked. How the fuck you messed up on chicken cubes!
Overall I like the table that I reserved for and the decor but that's about it. And the complimentary mango ice cream was the yummiest thing at Haveli!
Honestly Haveli is not thee best Indian food so I won't be coming back!
I'm no Indian food expert, but my meal here was excellent!
I had the butter chicken, and my friend had the chicken cooked in nut sauce. We also got drinks and naan and the bill was still tiny compared to the perfect amount of food. The service was also super friendly, prompt, and professional. We left very, very happy.
We were in the mood for Indian and looking at Haveli's menu looked different than the typical Indian so this is where we stopped.
The interior of the restaurant is quite large but we decided to sit outside as it was a nice day.
Our server was easy indicating we can sit anywhere we wanted. The menu had some of what you would find in any Indian restaurant like Tikka, Tandoori but we were more curious on dishes at least I haven't seen before like Goa Fish Curry, Shrimp Bhuna and Aaj Ka Aloo. They were all very good at least to me. They all have the same flavor that we are all familiar with but then slight different that we all really enjoyed.
The best customer service! I ordered the Mushroom hari moti which had sliced mushrooms with lots of peas in curry. I requested for mild spice and mild is spicy! I enjoyed it a lot though because I love spicy dishes. There's not much sauce for the peeps that like dipping naan in their curry. It was more like a curry seasoned vegetable dish. One of that gals ordered a garlic naan and they accidentally gave an extra one which was AWESOME. Besides the free garlic naan, they also gave us free ice cream! Say what?!!? Yes, free ice cream. We had a scoop of Pistachio and 2 scoops of Mango. Both flavors were very satisfying (we were planning to hit up a dessert bar afterwards but didn't need to anymore!) As for the rice, it seemed to be a blend of yellow and white long grain but there wasn't a distinct taste to the rice that stood out to me. Continuing on with the freebies, my friend still had naan but ran out of curry so they came out with a cup of curry for her! He must have seen her scraping the curry plate. As for prices, I felt like it was on the pricey side, but it's in the city, what do you expect?
FYI – there is a credit card limit for splitting the bill; the max is 2 credit cards per table.
Place is dark. I don't like dark restaurants. I want to be able to see what I'm eating. The staff is friendly and were able to accommodate my request to zero spice on my food. I'm not crazy about Indian food but I did enjoy the chicken dish. Not sure if I was impressed to go back and try Indian food again. To be fair, this is more of a taste preference than a reflection on the restaurant.
Authentic Indian food? I think not. I ordered their chat, tandoori chicken, nan, and paratha. Having been around home cooked Indian food and truly authentic Indian meals, I knew I was in for trouble just looking around at the waitstaff. Rolling the dice, I'd see how well they would pull this off and like I expected, I was sorely disappointed. The chat, was served on a bed of lettuce (WTF?), having nearly no tamarind sauce, and missing the crunchy bits I so enjoy. Rather than being a flavor explosion in my mouth, it was a bland disappointment. The tandoori chicken was dry, the paratha resembled roti rather than being the flakey, crispy, goodness it should be. And quite frankly, I've had better nan and paratha at home by stopping at the Indian grocery store and buying the frozen stuff. Now, add on the fact that this place is vastly over priced you get a pretty bad review.
If you want authentic Indian food, keep it moving. If you don't like spicy food and like what you eat to be bland, come here.
I might be biased, but there's something about Indian food and table cloths that just don't really mix.
Frankly, I found this place to be overpriced with average service. While the food was definitely yummy, it just wasn't up to snuff.
I'd recommend they have a little more fun with the place. Or, go full swing to a "table cloth" restaurant.
Haveli has a soft spot in my heart. I used to live a block away from it, and it was always my go to spot for great Indian food. And, it's off the 'curry row' area where all the restaurateurs yell at you when you walk by trying to lull you in. You get to avoid that, which is a plus.
Haveli, though, is where I discovered lamb korma, which has become my most favorite Indian dish. Mix it with rice and scoop with some naan …….. That's a taste of heaven.
