Haveli Restaurant Inc

Food was great but they called and complained about how far away I was (1 mile). The delivery guy was also grumpy about it. I guess the cold was a factor but I was still a bit confused by their sour attitude, especially since I tipped them well :( more

Lots of fatty oil floating on top of the Dopiaz curry and not much sauce underneath. more

Although the food was very good, our order was missing one item. more

I have been going to Haveli for the past 20 years, even in it's earlier incarnation as Shagorika, and have always had a consistently great meal and experience. I have known Rahman for all the time he has been there, and he is always welcoming and efficient. While my daughter was growing up he always would bring her a Shirley Temple (on the house), and we have enjoyed many, many enjoyable meals there. It is a pleasure to know a restaurant where you can always be assured of great food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. I recommend the Poori Bhajee, Murgha Tikka, and Vegetable Biryani, but everything is great! more

The first time I ate at Haveli was in 1999 and whenever I went back there for dinner, the food was always outstanding and the quality consistent. The services was also very pleasant, especially waiter Rahman. more

I've been eating at Haveli's since 1995 and can honestly say the food is amazing. After all these years the quality and consistency have not changed. I have introduced many a friend to this fine restaurant and they all agree. Two thumbs up for our waiter Rachmond he is by far the nicest most attentive waiter. It's a pleasure having him there with us all these years.... more

My family and I have been coming to Haveli?s for at least 9 years now. We had not been back for 3 years and decided to still see if it was good. We did not have our usual waiter but we had Jay. He recommended lamb madras instead of our usual Vindaloo, raita for my fathers Adraki Chop and the bread basket which came with 4 amazing breads. Besides, being a great waiter he also mixed some of the most incredible Lychee Martinis. I have to say it was the best I ever had. We were also waited on by Nasrin who suggested Korbel Sweet Rose to go with our meal. Between the service and the excellent food my family and I were in HEAVEN. It is a great place that is worth exploring. Pros: Excellent Service and Food more

A true New Yorker, born and raised in the Lower East Side (L'z) up!!! I've tried Indian food all over the world and Haveli has so many excellent exceptions. by far it is one of the best Indian restaurants to date. WHOEVER HASN'T BEEN THERE, SHOULD CHECK IT OUT. Pros: GREAT FOOD GREAT SEVICE Cons: IS THERE ANY? LET ME KNOW more

This is very very authentic indian cooking, and the flavors are delicious. Pros: Everything tastes good more

I loved the food, this is the best Indian restaurant in town. I would recommend anyone to go with family and friends. more

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! more

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 Pros: Decor/Ambience!!, Food, Staff Cons: N/A more

everything is absolutely delicious and the service is phenomenal Pros: fantastic selection more

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! more

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 more

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 more

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 more

After reading the high ratings, I decided I must eat here. I love Indian food - it is my absolute favorite. I eat Indian food frequently and have tried many different places. I've been to India several times and enjoy eating. I went with two freinds that also really like Indian food. more

We went at 6:30 on a Thursday evening. The place was dead and seemed dated. Perhaps if we went later in the evening when it was dark out and the restaurant was fuller the ambiance would have been better. There were plenty of waiters but it was never clear who was our waiter and who was our busboy because no one said much of anything to us. It was clear that we were new to Indian food but yet there was no attempt to help us with our order and again, not even clear who our waiter was. The condiments we received were wonderful and that is what prompts me to give the place a few stars. All three of them were fresh and had delicous complex flavors. Naan is always wonderful because it is so fresh baked and I am not going to say I was unhappy with it but the naan we ordered - an onion one and a potato one was not as good as other places I have had it. My dinner, chicken tikki was dry and lacking in flavor. Perhaps that is the nature of that particular dish but except for the condiments nothing I tasted had much if any spice or flavor. My husband wasn't unhappy with his food but he had ""bathroom problems"" from it shortly after we left. We were never offered the complimentary ice cream others described and in general I would describe the service far below average, the food average and the condiments (again, I am new to Indian food - not sure what they were at least one was a chutney).... excellent. The bill came to more than I expected and more than the food was worth though not outrageous for the city. I was really hoping this would become a favorite for me. Maybe the few times I have Indian food before I got lucky and went to extraordinary places rendering this one just average or perhaps they had a bad night. Either way it was a disappointment. more

Here is one honest scoop! I've read the many amazing reviews this restaurant received, I've heard about the hype, so as Manager @ The Mandarin, I decided to experience it myself. Pros: Too many Cons: Very busy on weekends more
