This Pakistani restaurant in Rancho Cordova delivered one of the most comfortingo meals I've enjoyed in a long tme. The chicken biryani was fragrant and deeply layered with flavor, and the naan arrived warm with the softness that makes you slow down and savor every bite The staff were attentive in a way that felt natural rather than forced. Awarm, soulful experience from start to finish. read more

Came here for some authentic experience which was i was really excited when I saw the set up. . They have a bbq charcoal grill set up around 5pm. . Halal Chicken Tikka - tender chicken boneless dark meat marinated with yogurt and spices to make it tender. The chicken was bone fall off. . halal beef Bihari Boti - chunky spices marination sauce like a masala marination. The beef was tender and wasn't over cooked. . The kebabs here pairs so well with the Afghan rice with raisins, juliene cut carrots and lamb cooked in it with spices too. I had a butter naan with it as well. . The kebabs here is wonderful and authentic. I really enjoy it and can't wait to come back for more. The mint chutney is perfect pairing with the proteins. As well love the big parking lot for parking too. Service was great with friendly and welcoming. The ambiance is cozy and family kids friendly. Hope this helps and thanks for reading. Have a yelptastic day. read more

would not recommend using this as a venue. i love supporting muslim owned businesses but this place is over priced (although beautiful) and the owner seriously needs to work on their customer service. For one - we had to bring in our own coke/pepsi/beverages because he didn't offer any as part of the catering service. He is also really rude to the women and I have heard many complaints from the women in my community of how him treating them in an incredibly rude manner, he even tried to argue with one of the ladies when she brought it up. read more

We were excited that this place is being utilized again as Haveli grill. Came here during the Ramadan Iftar which was really delicious and thankfully not crazy spicy. The negative were the outside smokers smoking right in front of the door. I'm allergic and super sensitive so upon exiting the building and going to the parking lot my face was exposed to the harsh chemicals which is causing facial irritation now. It would be nice if they created a shaded roof or mini tent at the end of the buildings corner further away from the entrance as a place for designated smoking. Other than that, you can tell they were quick in service, had more than enough food if you didn't choose something earlier. For the tandoori chicken, I would suggest adding salt because it looked good but was flavorless. I'm so glad there's an authentic Pakistani flavored restaurant in the area! Looking forward to coming again. read more

I was in the neighborhood and wanted to get some tandoori chicken legs and naan. I ordered for pickup and my order costed around $17. The pickup process was quick and easy. The food was ready on time and all I had to do was pay and leave. Once I got home and opened up my food I saw the two most depressing tandoori chicken legs I've ever seen. They were so tiny and were not filling at all. This was extremely disappointing. The chicken had some flavor but lacked that char you look for when getting anything cooked in a tandoori oven. This can also be said about the naan which lacked flavor. The place was empty when I got there and I should taken that as a sign. Overall, I wouldn't go back and didn't have the greatest experience. Score: 6.5/10 read more

Another Indian restaurant in the Arden-Arcade area. Sayyyy whaaaat? Heck yeah! I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala, rice, and garlic naan to go. The masala was more like a soup and not as thick as I am used to. The spice level however was just right. Now the rice? It was a huge proportion. Too much IMO. Overall a decent Indian spot. read more

My go-to spot in sac. Amazing desi food, generous portions. The meat in the briyani is so tender and flavorful. We also got samosas. Their samosas are amaaaazing. Previously I've also tried the goat karahi. Loved it! Everything I've tried from here has always been great. read more

This is probably one of the only decent locations nearby, as in the Sac area, that serves Halwa Puri. Visited Haveli on a random Sunday back in Feb to try their buffet. You won't be disappointed by their buffet options but their Al carte is way better! They serve Halwa puri on Sundays only during a short 3-4 hour timeframe during lunch. Come quick, hungry, but not hangry like me, and enjoy a fresh puri with Halwa. You can request fresh puri to be brought to your table, as well. read more

Haveli Grill Commercial Kitchen & BBQ - Pakistani Near Me - Rancho Cordova, California

Amazing food, always same quality and made fresh. Goat doesn't even taste like goat because they season it so well it has this rich delicious taste to it. If you never tried goat you should here because you won't even know you're eating goat. Naan is perfect. Rice is great as well. Chicken is a bit dry for my liking however the flavor makes up for it. Mango lassi is perfection. This is the kind of smoothie I can drink every day, super smooth and flavorful. Service is great to, they are attentive and if you need anything they are ready to help. Restaurant itself does not have the best interior, or welcoming look to it but the big windows lots of natural lights and amazing food that they serve makes up for it. Definitely one of my favorite Indian/ Pakistani places to eat at. read more

After a long day of driving I was looking for a close restaurant to my hotel and this was within walking distance. So after looking at the menu I decided to give it a try. The hostess greeted me walking in it was not busy, and I was promptly seated. Within a few minutes she returned to take my order. So after looking over the menu I opted for the house cucumber salad and some very nice curried chicken. It literally took about 15 minutes tops from the time I placed my order to the time my server returned with my salad and then another minute or two total until my Chicken Korma appeared at my table. The cucumber salad is a large plate of fresh garden greens with chunky style tomatoes and cucumbers, on a bed of ice berg and topped with red onions with lemon wedges on the side. Italian dressing also on the side. The salad was freshly made and large enough to share. Fresh greens, crunchy veggies and chunks of tomato it hit the spot, nothing fancy but very good. The Chicken Korma which is a savory and spicy Curried Chicken chunks in a spicy red curry that has some zip to it though not overpowering. A nice sized portion and with the Tandoori Naan it was a very good meal. The Tandoori Buttered Naan, was absolutely baked prefection, a nice sized bread sliced in two halves. This was so good it totally could be a meal on its own and at $1.50 cheap! A Hot Green Tea to finish my meal and I was good to go for my evening ahead. A nice meal and a very inexpensive by comparison. Dinner with a 20% tip was $25 bucks, thats hard to beat. 3.5 Stars - rounded up for the delicious Naan, its nothing fancy with pretty good curry and food. 00677 read more

Great service. Amazing outdoor seating with 6ft distancing, and above all Phenomenal food! I have visited both Pakistan and India - having tried the best of the best, and this restaurant has the best food hands down on par with the quality you get in the countries the cuisine originated in. They are super clean, it's a family owned business, and the owner takes great pride in his food. I love the outdoor seating especially in times of COVID. Highly recommend this place!! Great for families read more

I respect the hospitality and attentiveness in regards to making each patrons experience first class. The brother that was serving made sure to take care of our needs and even made some great recommendations that we all thoroughly enjoyed. I've elected for Roti in my older years, my brothers were tantalized by garlic naan. We doubled up on Karahi gosht, and ordered a nihari as well. The mixed grill platter was suggested, and we were not disappointed. I've been frequenting this establishment ever since I was young and will continue to slide for years to come. read more

We drove from Stockton here as a friend recommended it and we were up for a date night and drive to get out of the house. There is only outdoor seating due to the State pandemic restrictions but that didn't matter, it was lovely. They did their best to turn the patio into something inviting and comfortable. We were greeted and seated right away. They had music playing and asked if was too loud for us, it wasn't, we enjoyed it. They brought us bottled waters right away and food came out very timely. We ordered several dishes: Everything was delicious! Butter naan 5/5 Samosa 5/5 Samosa cholay chaat 5/5 (spicy) Karahi Gosht (goat) 4/5 (many bones) Chicken tikka masala 3.5/5 (sauce was amazing but chicken kabob was used and it was very dry) Chicken Biryani 4/5 We ordered so much that we forgot to order their specialty but saw it come out several times, the Mixed Grill. It comes out sizzling and looks amazing, we will be back!! read more

$22 lunch buffet and they barely have any entrees out. The food lacks flavor, the only thing good about the buffet was the puri and gulab Jamun. Don't waste your money on this place. Will NEVER be going back. read more

Food was excellent especially the chicken karahi and chai. Clean and good service. Highly recommended.

If you order 3 meals, they will have you wait for 30min/each. Last time we were nearly done with some food but still waiting for the rest, they brought the rest towards the end that we had no time to eat so we returned it. And I believe it's because there is only 2 folks doing everything. Also, using their restrooms is literally not a good idea, because you will have to use water to wipe the thingy out!! So poor!! read more

When I was there they served their food with paper plates on the side and had plastic utensils, it just felt really cheap. The people working in the back definitely looked like they were slacking off and taking their sweet time, the wait was way longer than it should've been bc the restaurant was pretty much empty at the time I was there. The restaurants vibe screamed run down, but that doesn't always mean it's bad bc many "run down" looking places have good authentic food. Their food was not bad but kinda dry in my opinion and the meat was really hard too. I only tried this place once. read more

Delicious fresh food prepared right when you order. I took my family for taste testing for our wedding event. Everything was absolutely delicious and had just the right amount of spice. We had the tandoori chicken the samosa and everything was amazing. Really glad that we are catering food for our wedding event, because this was an excellent choice for delicious and comforting food. Everything was very clean and we observed people disinfecting the tables after others left, so I was happy about that. We will definitely be back here... Thank you, chef Amir, for great service. read more

We enjoyed a delicious dinner! It took a long time for them to take our order and a very long time to get our food, but it was beyond good! For a very hungry family of four adults, we ordered: -Family Size Mixed Grill - came out on a sizzling platter with a base of onions that caramelized beneath the meat. Generous amount and all the different meats were very good. -Butter Chicken - delicious chicken and sauce was spiced just right. We wiped the bowl clean. -Aloo Palak - so flavorful and wonderful. -Basmati Rice - just enough butter and spices. Perfect. -Butter, Sesame, & Garlic Naan - ordered one of each. All were so good. My favorite was the sesame, but other family members had other favorites. Would order all three again! We had a good amount of leftovers, but everything was so good there isn't anything we wouldn't order again. We were happy to take food home. The atmosphere is pretty casual - no decor or music. The people working there talked loudly amongst themselves and didn't seem to care about the ambiance for their guests. The bathroom is clean but the floor seems to have so much cleaning product residue that it was sticky. When we asked for the bill to pay and leave, the waiter told us to go to the register. We never saw the bill, we were just told a total. It was reasonable and about what we had estimated, but it would be nice to get a bill at the table. All in all, the quirkiness was fine and we really loved the food. read more

VEGAN OPTIONS - Yes and No. It's Indian food, so you should ask based on whichever dishes you're planning to order. But it's *highly* likely that everything contains at least a little bit of butter, ghee, or a dollop of yogurt, somehow somewhere. Trust me on this. Ordered takeaway on my way home from a Costco run. The food was fine, but nothing special. I would not order again as I feel like there are better options available. read more

We live nearby and drive past the restaurant every day, we've always wanted to try it but didn't know if it was open or how to order, ordering was very easy online and simple. We ordered the Butter Chicken and Basmati Rice w/ Garlic Naan and everything was delicious! We ordered extra Naan. The food was very mild and tasty, but delicious nonetheless! Food was hot and prepared for us when we arrived. You have to walk to the restaurant desk not the hotel desk. The restaurant and hotel are connected. read more

I needed to have a sit down dinner and my hotel had this restaurant within it's boundaries, so I tried it out. It was basically empty so I was quickly seated and given water and a menu. I wanted to try a tandori chicken leg, but staff said it wasn't available, so I got a 1/2 tandori chicken, which strangely, was available. Seems like they could have cut one of those to give me a leg...but no. Also got some basmati rice and some garlic naan. The rice was a huge platter. Wayyy more than I could eat, but no smaller portion was available. So, after ordering, I waited...and waited...and waited. Something like 45 minutes for my meal. Not a good look. Hope your business stays open, but that your management will improve on the wait times and food availability. I tried to open your menu, but had no luck doing that through the links on the Yelp page. read more

We love Haveli!! Pakistani/Indian is our favorite food and we keep coming back here because it's so great. The food is delicious, very consistent, and at a nice spice level. Authentic but not over the top. They have a weekend buffet that includes salad, samosas, chai, biriyani, saag, makhani, tandoori, multiple desserts - basically everything you would want. And the buffet happens every night during the month of Ramadan! During Ramadan the restaurant is bustling; very fun and lively. To top it off, the staff are extremely welcoming and accommodating. You feel like family when you eat here. If you are looking for halal/Indian in Sac, definitely check out Haveli! read more

Amazing catering service! The Goat Biryani was cooked to perfection. The Chicken Karahi was a little bland but I was so satisfied with the Biryani that I let it pass. I love seeing Pakistani Indian restaurants doing justice to their food in the Sac area! read more

Food: We did the buffet ($15 per person). Food was a bit spicy and very oily. Also, it looked like it had been sitting out for a few hours with a couple of items almost done and needing to be refreshed. Service: They were in the process of preparing for an event so we ended up seating ourselves and refilling our own water glasses. The bill did take 15 minutes to get and we had to ask 3 different people. Overall, we won't be back. read more

I ordered a to go item shown on the menu at $14.99. I was however charged $17.99. I asked the person at the register why the difference and was told, "it's the new price" I mentioned that the new price should be posted or the old menus should not be placed for review by customers. However he simply put the menu back in the stack of menus that are handed out to customers. Buyer beware! Give him the discrepancy of $2 and change, I asked if you would reimburse, but request was declined. The chai was like dishwater. No spices whatsoever. Maybe a lipton tea bag and lowfat milk. Certainly not boiled traditionally several times with premium black tea and spices. Dishwater. read more

This place is closed !!! We drove all the way only to find out that it was closed & did not exist anymore !!!! That's interesting, thank you for your reply ! We drove all the way to find out the address lead us to a hotel that had the name Haveli & a big banquet abandoned in it but was just a hotel to stay. May be google shows the wrong address ? Do you mind sharing the address please. We loved the pics etc hence came all the way to check it out & then landed up going to Basha !!!! Thanks, Rashida read more

Never again. Where do I start? Ordered lunch through GrubHub. Go to pick it up once I get my notification and the employee I spoke to defensively says they never got my order. He offers to make my food, which I accept because I'm hungry. I get to wait even longer. Call GrubHub, who says the restaurant accepted my order 40 minutes earlier. Was there a miscommunication? I'm not sure. What I do know is that there was hardly two bites of actual chicken in my Chicken Karahi. Half of what was in the container was joint, bone and gristle, with the rest being sauce and peppers. The sauce was very tasty, but I'm still hungry because THERE WASN'T ANY CHICKEN IN IT. What a waste of time and money. read more

Yesterday we had a small celebration and had a great time at Haveli. The food was delicious and the staff was friendly too. One suggestion would be to train your staff to check in on the guests frequently to attend to their needs. This was the only thing that was missing, compared to American restaurant service. We have been coming here for years, a couple of times it wasn't a good experience but we never stopped going since this is normal with the Desi restaurant business in the US. We have had Chef Aftab's delicacies even before he started his career at Haveli. One of the best authentic Pakistani foods. Thank you for the wonderful experience! read more

Ok after my experience at Indian oven I was pretty scared I've been here before but I'm not sure if I reviewed it. The tandoori chicken leg was very good the chutney could be better. The goat korma and karahi was excellent and chicken tikka masala was good also. Tandoori roti was very good too I usually get garlic naan. Took home chicken biryani and it was not very flavorful also got chicken karahi which was good. My top dish is probably the goat karahi. read more

Excellent food! We had it delivered today and it really hit the spot. The chicken tikka masala was creamy and slightly sweet but still with lots of spices. Tandoori chicken was solid, and nihari was good but I think Shalimar's is better. The whole meal really hit the spot. I would 100% recommend this spot for some good Indian/Pakistani food! read more
