My hubby and I went there on a whim (just wanted Indian food and boom saw it!) for our anniversary. We didn't wait long to be seated, and then we ordered some "love concoction drinks" and decided that we would order the Haveli chef's dinner for 2-very impressive! Quickly a very delicious tomato based soup with cinnamon overtones came out-nice start! Then they brought out 4 different appetizers, all very delicious! (banana fritter, beef and pea samosa ??, a piece of lamb, and a fried potato thing) Next came the steaming main course of tandoori chicken and some lamb dish,rice, naan, other stuff--unbelievable amount! My hubby was full at this point, which is NO easy feat! The tandoori chicken was absolutely my fav, I have never tasted tandoori chicken that was so flavorful and moist-hands down their tandoori chicken is the best! We at this point decided to wrap up the remaining food and carry it home to finish later! We ordered some banana fritters and naan to go go as well(our son loves banana!) I was pleasantly surprised to see we needed to choose a dessert as well! Obviously we asked if we could take it home, there was no way I could down another bite! I highly enjoyed our evening there, and felt it had the right romantic atmosphere for our special occasion. I am craving more of that chicken right now! This place has definitely became our fav Indian food place! The service was excellent and the waitstaff was very attentive to us! Beautiful experience! Thanks Haveli! Pros: Tandoori Chicken, Naan Everything! Cons: none

As a born and bred New Yorker of South Asian (Indian) descent, I feel that I can provide relevant feedback on one of NY's finest Indian restaurants. Being a NY'er, I can say that we are not easily fooled by the gimmicks, or Xmas tree lights that the other Indian restaurants in this neighborhood employ- we look for substance behind the facade, which Haveli has been able to provide consistently great dining experiences year over year. I have been going there since the early 90's, and can?t recall one bad/marginal dining experience. Maybe (???) the street parking can be tough at times- but all of the other restaurants in the area suffer the same negative From a diner's perspective, I can only speak highly in that: I have always been seated within 5-10 minutes of arrival, the food has always been consistent and fresh, the service from the host/hostess and the waiters and busboys have been great, and the tasteful decor has won me hand's down against their neighborhood competition. Writing this review, and reminiscing over past experiences at Haveli is making me crave it now- wonder what time they close tonight? Pros: Decor/Ambience!!, Food, Staff Cons: N/A

This restaurant is simply amazing from its amazing service to its delicious food. I have been to my share of restaurants around nyc and this has been my favorite by far. the food is amazing, and the service is even better. the chicken tandoori is a favorite dish where the chicken is very tender without it being overcooked and dry. everything here is great! wouldn't go anywhere else in the world! Pros: everything! Cons: NOTHING!

this great indian establishment is my favorite restaurant, not only for indian, but overall. I love indian for and have been having for all my life. I've also tried many other place and they do not come this mouth watering indian restaurant. The flavors here are vibrant and tremendous. Tandori items are cooked to perfection. The curry dishes, whether creamy or with out are soo good you cant go wrong with anything. The Chicken Tika Masala and the Madras dishes are by far the BEST anywhere. The service here is polite and attentive without being overbaring. Ask for specials, the Shacuti is really "WOW"! I gave five stars because this place has never failed me, whether with a large party or just for two, they great. Pros: overall great food and stellar, accomodating service Cons: non from what've seen or heard

Went on a sunday afternoon and the place was almost empty. My party of 3 was seated near the bar. The waitstaff was loud and noisily cleaning glassware next to us. We had to say excuse me 2X after trying to flag ther attention, to receive brusque service. After speaking the whole time in English, we were given our check with an "Arigato". Though East Asian, we told them none of us are Japanese. Food was warm but not the right temperature. I've frequented other places on 6th street (ie. Mitali East) that was less "upscale" with improved service and food. Silverware and decor was nice though, I will not return because of the shabby service. Pros: Decor Cons: Poor Service

I like this place,went there with a friend.Nice variety of meats , they serve alcohol and have an extensive bar.Had a martini made with Vanilla Stoli and a Taj Mahal beer.Nice ambiance and you can also sit by the window facing the street.Also there is a beautiful picture on the wall when you enter depicting an authentic Indian Mural,very lovely. Definitely a very clean place too,its an upscale restaurant no doubt. Had onion kulcha with a fantastic red dipping sauce ,i think it had a some mango chunks in there.Also tried some sort of a Lamb Sautee,my friend had 2 different kebabs ,had good spice to it. We also shared a Tikka chicken with rice that was properly prepared.Though our food took a little long ,we were able to pass some time by drinking some of those huge Taj-Mahals and people watching which is always fun in NY. I recommend this place to everyone. Pros: everything Cons: none
