Haveli Kabab & Grill

Overall good experience. Ambience is good. Chaats were good. Achari Paneer Tikka was decent.
Daal makhni and Paneer sabji was tasty. Kulcha’s were so so as they were not crispy.

Next time we will try non veg items and report.

Delicious food in a private and cozy atmosphere! We saw this place had just opened and wanted to give it a try, and we were not disappointed! We had the veggie pakoras, goat curry, kadai lamb curry, saffron rice, bullet naan, salted lassie, and Punjabi chai. I can honestly say all were very delicious, but I highly recommend the kadai lamb, bullet naan, and veggie pakoras! Also, their minty green sauce is the best I've had in this area!

Service is welcoming and very polite.
Food is delicious.
Big portions.
Kid menu friendly with Indian and American cuisine options.
Clean eating area and pleasantly decorated.
We dined in, and it took about an hour and a half for dinner for two adults and two children on a weekend at 5 pm.

Just opened today. They had free chat carts outside for the grand opening. Ambience inside was very well done giving it a haveli (palace) look. The food portions were good and reasonably priced. Was not overly spicy and we liked the vegatrian dishes we ordered - Malai kofta, mix veg curry, vegetable pakora and bread basket. The quality of naan was awesome. They have quite some seating. Due to opening day service was a little slow since they were figuring things out. Overall nice to have a good sit down Indian restaurant in Evergreen!

So happy to have this place nearby home! Today was their grand opening. We ordered their achari chicken tikka, chana bhature, chicken dum biryani, aam pani, chai and rasmalai. Everything was delicious!

The chicken tikka was well-seasoned, juicy and came beautifully charred on a sizzling platter. The accompanying dhaniya chutney was freshly made - more liquidy than other restaurants, but had a nice, homemade quality. We finished all of it with the chicken.

The chana bhatura generously came with two bhature and the chana was really tasty. Not too salty and I liked the masala. We sort of struggled to finish both bhature, but it was worth the struggle. :)

We had to pack half the biryani, but I’m looking forward to eating the rest later tonight… the chicken in it was also well-seasoned throughout, and the biryani had, IMO, good masala. I like the biryani from Rangoli in Fremont’s Pacific Commons area, and Haveli’s is a close second on my list. The only small downside I’d note is that the bottom of the biryani seemed to have a bit more oil than expected, maybe from the fried onions. Would be nice to see a little less of that.

As for the aam pani, chai and rasmalai, all fine there. The chai seemed to have a smoky aroma, like it was matka chai? Not sure if they do anything special with their chai but that stood out to us. Maybe a bit more milk could be nice. The rasmalai was light and a bit springy, definitely freshly made. As an East Asian, “not too sweet” is often said as a big compliment about a dessert. :) In this case, the rasmalai was not too sweet in a great way - not cloying or overly sugared, and that let the flavors shine.

Finally for service, I hope they can continue the level they showed today! Little appetizer plates were swapped out for clean entree plates. We were asked if we were ready for the entrees to be served. And someone was always nearby to remove empty plates, deliver the bill, etc.

Total bill was $55 but discounted 25% for their grand opening (thanks!). Quite reasonable I’d say, especially coming from Fremont where I feel like the prices are slightly higher for this quality.

Definitely looking forward to coming back! Keep up the great work!
