Keep in mind the rice is a good portion to share between two people, no need to order two separate helpings. We ordered enough food to have for dinner and some leftovers too, for a little over $40 - not bad! The restaurant may be small, but the portion and quality is there. Our server tended to our table frequently to make sure we were alright and our cups were never empty. We'll be back to check out the rest of the menu soon!

Butter Chicken * The…read moresauce has the perfect consistency -- rich, smooth, and well balanced. * The melted butter brings everything together, enhancing the buttery flavor while adding a lightness that keeps the dish from feeling too heavy. * The chicken is charred to perfection. The smoky char adds a deep, layered flavor that complements the creamy sauce and helps refresh the palate with each bite. * The chicken is incredibly tender, making the texture just as impressive as the flavor. Homemade Garlic Naan * The first bite starts with a satisfying crispiness, followed by a soft, fluffy interior. * It's more than just garlic butter -- the diced garlic adds a bold, fresh kick, while cilantro and parsley bring a bright, herbaceous freshness that lifts the flavor and keeps it from feeling heavy.

And Their staff is always pretty friendly. We ordered a variety of food. Chili Fish - It was meh. Not sweet thankfully but didn't taste appetizing Chicken Fried Rice - This was good Chicken Malai Kabab - This was good too Tandoori Roti - The size seems to have reduced than how it was before Chicken Do Pyaza - It was not how it's usually made. Won't order it again.

Lazy Sunday meant takeout. We decided on Noura since it was new and nearby…read more Palak Panner was rich and creamy. I think it's just on the edge of being too salty. Naan was fine. Mutton Dosa was crisppppyyyyyy. And they have a large selection to choose from. Tandoori Chicken was a tad bit dry. Make sure to ask for extra chutney since the added moisture helps. Chicken Bryanni was good but not noteworthy. Overall, we were very pleased with the meal and hope to be back soon.

The food and service here never disappoint. I've been a frequent customer since 2009, and was…read morehooked at first bite with their beef kebab sandwich. Every dish is seasoned perfectly and not overly salted. I've tried just about everything on the menu and the meat is always tender. Vegetables here are top quality as well, which compliments the dishes nicely. And the green yogurt sauce is spicy! In a good way. I usually order an extra with the biryani plates, because *some* is just never enough. Their mango lassi is super mango-ey. I don't know what kind of mangoes go into this drink, but it has the most sweet, tart, and ripe fruitiness (emphasis on fruitiness), and the yogurt in it adds good balance. Perfect drink. There is a good variety of items to choose from, so I don't get bored eating here. You can tell everything is cooked fresh on a daily basis as well. Don't sleep on the desserts either. After trying baklava at many restaurants around San Jose, I regard Gulzaar Halaal's as my personal favorite. Crispy layers, firm yet chewy bottom, and never stale. Perfect balance of sweet, nutty and spiced. My favorite dessert though has to be Kanafeh. Soft-ish, melty sweet cheese (with rose water, I think?). Ask for it warmed. I've always felt relaxed when eating in the restaurant. Tables are frequently cleaned. The owner is very attentive, making sure customers are happy with everything. Their interactions with people are always very respectful and kind. Last but not least, the bathroom is clean, neat and tidy.

This is one of our go to Indian food spots. The taste is very similar to what we get back home so I…read morewould say about 80% authentic. It used to be just Haveli Kebab&Grill and they recently changed the name to Royal Haveli. I have dined in a few times but do take out and doordash from here atleast once a week. What we have tried is the samosa chaat, pakoras(only disappointment), paneer tikka achari and malai, paneer tikka masala, malai kofta, biryani and their indo Chinese. More or less everything tasted good. Prices are standard for bay area and they have nice seating.

I normally write my review around food, service and ambiance. However, this is a quick update and I…read morewant to rave about one thing. This restaurant is doing something extraordinary. If you ever eat here you'll realize they don't have a tip option on their payment device. Yep, you read that right - no tipping necessary. I want to say that the tipping culture in the USA and some 3rd world countries are getting out of hand. This establishment must be paying their employees a fair wage. I think we need to support these types of establishments. As a matter of fact, I want to bring cash now just so I can thank the hard working folks that service us here. I also want to add that the food here is good. It's consistent. It's spicy when you ask for Indian spicy. It's very kid friendly and every entree comes with rice or naan. This restaurant provides excellent value with good tasting food. I always end up coming back here when my family craves Indian.

The first staff member I encountered spoke no english, so I had to wait for another worker to eventually come out. He handed me my order which was just sitting there near the host stand. Got the classic butter chicken with basmati rice, and butter naan. The curry dish was made up of large chunks of chicken and was more sweet than spicy. Actually, there was almost zero spice. Taste was not bad though. And the naan was thick and cooked perfectly, and went well with the butter chicken. I was pleased with my meal.

They give you maybe 5-7 small pieces of chicken in the curry. Service is okay. It's much more of a pickup and DoorDash place. There are a couple of tables for people to sit inside.

Looks like it typically caters to takeout and casual dining, but don't let that fool you. We were impressed !!! What I Had: - Garlic naan - Butter chicken - Palak paneer - Gobhi Manchurian (appetizer) All 4 dishes were stars!!! The garlic naan was solid; it came wrapped in foil for to-go, so it may have lost a little of the crispiness I personally prefer, but the flavor was still good. The butter chicken was great, good flavor and chicken is not dry. The Palak Paneer had amazing flavor. The Gobhi Munchurian appetizer was the real shine of the show. Somewhat crunchy and mildly sweet yet spicy and flavorful. YUM! Will for sure be back to pick up more food. Price is fair and serving size is pretty generous - great value! Will definitely be coming back to pick up yummy indian food (and more Gobhi Manchurian!) ---How I Rate on Yelp:--- (5 stars): Exceptional!! -- food, service, and atmosphere all outstanding. Worth going out of your way. (4 stars): Great! -- very good experience overall, minor flaws but nothing major. (3 stars): Good -- decent, acceptable, but there's room for clear improvement. (2 stars): Poor -- disappointing experience, multiple issues (food, service, or setting). (1 star): Terrible -- very bad experience, would not return or recommend.

All the dishes we've tried were vegetarian, and it's nice to have a decent Indian restaurant in the neighborhood. We recommend: Samosas--good, large, piping hot, a little spicy, good sauces (though there are a couple places in San Jose that make even better sauces) Malai kofta--good Mango lassi--delicious Plain Naan--ok-good Kaju Paneer Masala: good, kofta-like sauce, it took a little getting used to the salted cashews included in halves Mixed Vegetables: tasted better after the first day--good from second day onward, and very generous portions Karahi Paneer: good and generous portions Wouldn't get again: Navratam korma--didn't like the flavor of the sauce nor inclusion of potato Paneer do pyaza--ok Garlic naan--ok, Trader Joe's garlic naan is better Assorted vegetable pakoras--burnt on outside, mushy & bland on inside Paneer Tikka Masala--tasty sauce, though the flat paneer they used is tough and chewy in an unpleasant way, so we threw those out and used this kofta-like sauce over our own vegetables Baingan Bhartha (Spicy): we were warned by the menu, but this was very spicy and I prefer to cook or purchase my bengan bharta mild so I can appreciate the flavors
