Profile

Haveli distinguishes itself from the 6th Street strip, for its food as much as its upscale decor. Possibly the only East Village restaurant with an intentionally shattered windowpane.

Tasty Indian

Overall I enjoyed this place, it's a bit cavernous despite it's tiny door entrance. I particularly like that they offer both Southern and Northern Indian cuisine which, for whatever reason, is nearly impossible to find. The Dosa was perfectly oversized, the coconut samosas were fried to perfection and of course the mandatory King Fisher beer was as tasty as one could expect. the staff can be a little oogly, which can be a bit unnerving as a female, but it isn't terrible. all in all the food was tasty and I wouldn't mind going back, but it's nothing super fancy, in my opinion.

Best Kept Little Secret From India!!!

Now this place is a real find. The decor is nice but not over the top and the food is fantastic and reasonably priced. Service is very good, the staff is very attentive and makes wonderful recommendations of their best dishes with a lot of enthusiasm. My personal favorites include the Channa Chat to start, followed by anything lamb (usually vindaloo), a masala dish and some dhal. The menu has most of the traditional favorites as well as some more unusual dishes. I am not a big (red) meat eater, but they prepare the meats (especially the lamb) very well, - it is well seasoned and comes out juicy and tender. I have also had a few very satisfying vegetarian meals there. This is low pressure, relaxing place to enjoy delicious Indian food. And while maybe not East Village cheap, for what you get, it is very reasonably priced.
