Haveli

Hidden gem of an Indian, friendly staff that couldn't do enough for you, massive menu to pick from, with some different options to the usual fayre. Good range of cocktails, good atmosphere, feta cheese naan was interesting

First time visiting Haveli and we ordered the two for twenty special to celebrate our anniversary and had a wonderful evening! The food was outstanding, very full of flavour and beautifully cooked. The variety was brilliant as sometimes these deals can be a little limiting, but not at Haveli! The staff were very friendly and took the time to explain how the menu worked a D talk us through the food they laid out. Brilliant restaurant, we'll certainly be back!

An excellent meal. Took my elderly mother out for dinner, she picked the location. Service was excellent. Good was very good and my lamb curry was spicy without being too fiery. They also had an excellent Indian IPA called Bicycle Bombay which complimented the food well. Would definitely go back.

Amazing food expertly explained during the ordering process by the knowledgeable staff. I visited this with my work colleges from overseas who loved the food and are already wanting to return. Superb.

Cool on atmosphere, massive on flavour. Had a quiet Thursday night dinner. I Wasn’t expecting such a pleasant surprise. Lamb chop starter was delicate and warmly spicy and tender. Paneer main course was banging too. The service is excellent and also the food is great value for ££. Thanks.

What a great restaurant! Food is delicately spiced and full of flavour. Waiters and owner are kind and attentive. Atmosphere is buzzy but not loud. Just brilliant

Highly recommended. Polite and helpful staff as ever. A small range of menu items - in their case this is not a weakness! We visited near Xmas and don't realise that there would only be the fixed price Xmas menu. This could be better communicated on booking a table and on seating? The dishes are well judged and well cooked. Haveli is a cut above a lot of other establishments, meat used was great quality. Very flavourful. Only slight issue was an excessively long wait at the end for ice cream - 25/30 minutes! All the other food arrived promptly, and was fantastic.
