Got the SAAG PANEER and the MANGO LASSI and was blown away. Love this place and today I decided to switch up my normal order and try something different. The Saag Paneer was spicy and delicious and the Mango Lassi was sweet and flavorful! Perfect pair!! Highly recommend trying this place out if you haven't already!! I normally get delivery but have done pick up before and always wanted to dine in because of how beautiful and cozy the inside is! read more

The food was mostly good, the service was decent, and the ambiance was like a time capsule, transporting one to a bygone era. I tried the gobi manchurian, garlic naan, malai kofta and vegetable jalfrezi. The malai kofta and jalfrezi came with basmati rice. The gobi manchurian and the malai kofta were excellent. The jalfrezi was overly oily and salty - do not recommend. The server was efficient, though not super friendly. The ambiance was elegant, but reminded me of Indian restaurants in the US from the 80s - plenty of South Asian brick a brac of dubious quality, white tablecloths, and generic Bollywood instrumental music. I haven't tried enough Indian restaurants in the area to be able to tell if there are better ones in the area. I would however recommend getting a mix of heavy and light dishes instead of exclusively heavy ones. read more

We had a wonderful meal last weekend at this restaurant. The owner and wait staff were super attentive and the food ample and tasty. The physical layout is also pleasing, as tables are situated in the downstairs of an old inn. I highly recommend this establishment; I will be going back! read more

Promptly seated on a Sunday afternoon with lovely warm service. My husband enjoyed his vegetable jalfreezy immensely. The naan was also fresh & delicious. I had the lemon rice which was not very lemony except in color. I would not recommend the lollipop chicken as it was fatty & dry at the same time, next time I'll opt for a sauced chicken dish and plain rice which was also fresh and tasty. We will definitely return, the buffet offered certain days looks like a good option too. read more

Went months ago, but everything was amazing. Garlic naan, smacks. Butter chicken and jasmine rice, smacks. Tiki masala, SMACKS.

Been going to Havali for decades. Most times it's take out and occasionally they forget to include something small but they always take care of it on my next order. Last 2 x's I wasn't able to order over the phone because of language difficulties. They just couldnt understand anything and probably need to get someone better equiped to take orders over the phone. So I decided to go down and order in person and the exact same problem. When the main lady is there everything is fine but lately there is just a crew of guys down hanging out so on my 1st attempt to order in person..I waited for 10 min by the counter and no one bothered to take my order even though the place was empty and everyone was just milling about. The 2nd time today I went down and they couldn't understand that I was ordering to take out and not sit in. So I just walked out as I didnt want to take the chance they would mess up my order. So far this month they have lost over $100- from me. I need to find out if the lady still owns this place or find out the hours she works there as the employees are incompetent. I like the food there and it is probably the best deal in town. But that said the service mid aft is about as bad as it gets. I hope they read this but 3 strikes and it's out..I'll give em 1 more chance and then find somewhere else. read more

Me and my friend Apu closed the Quickie Mart early to come here for lunch. The food was good and tasty . Apu commented that the food tasted like his mother's cooking in the old country. We will definitely be coming back with our friends Homer and Marge and their kids Bart Lisa read more

My family had vindaloo, kebab, tikka masala, biriyani and channa. Each was good and appropriately spiced as requested: hot, mild, "mild plus". Recommended and will come again. read more

While in Middletown this weekend, we visited this restaurant for lunch they were serving a buffet. The environment is a bit noisy, plenty of wait staff walking around but didn't bring our bread on time. I wasn't really happy with the options in the buffet. They don't seem like to be made for Indian customers, Overall not a good experience will not go back. The restaurant has its own set of clientele, who may like what they offer. It is not for me. I didn't even take pictures of the food. read more

Despite being crowded due to an extra large party celebration, we enjoyed excellent service and food was even better.

Food is hot, amazing place to go with the family, variety of food to try whether your vegan or not, just the right amount of spicy and the buffet is open 12-3 on the weekends It's a hidden gem of Middletown A must try They do take out as well read more

The restaurant has plenty of on site parking. read more

Christmas Dinner 2025 -- a tradition we've kept going for about five years now Ordered and paid for lunch online (couldn't be easier). My son and daughter picked everything up, brought it home, and even set it out buffet-style before the rest of us arrived. Poppadums didn't last more than a couple of minutes once everyone dug in Mango chutney and the Haveli Special naan -- never disappoint! When ordering online you can choose your heat level from mild to very hot. I've never been brave enough to try very hot, but my brother reckons there should be another option called Indian Hot I assume you can order this way in-house too -- the server really should ask. Everyone loved the spread and I've got leftovers for a couple of days (win!): Vegetarian samosas Lamb korma Saag paneer Butter chicken (mild & medium) Haveli mixed grill Perfect food, zero stress -- exactly how Christmas should be read more

Super amazing staff. So inviting. I have order d take out for years andalways loved the food. Took a friend tonight who is new to Indian. It was great! Both of us were really happy with our entrees. We had a lamb Naan and ordered a veggie dish as well as a chicken dish masala. All very good! I need to put this in my routine rotation. read more

Haveli has great staff and food. I highly recommend coming here. A must try especially if you're a Wesleyan student.

Hands-down the best Indian food around! I have been coming here for years and I have never been disappointed. The staff and service is top notch. I love the chef's tasting menu. They offer a vegetarian and non-vegetarian selection for the chefs menu. Definitely worth trying...you'll love it!!! read more

Haveli is our go to for Indian food. Consistently solid and flavorful. Highly recommend!

One of the finest Indian restaurants I've ever been to. Food was excellent service exceptional.

Great Indian food. They catered a lunch for us. Our guests loved their food. The person who came stayed and helped, he took care of everything. Very nice friendly and our guests had a great time. Delicious food. read more

I recently visited Haveli for lunch with my wife and 10 year old. It was my first time. Our meal was generally good, but there were a few opportunities for improvement as well. I ordered the Non-Vegetarian Thali, which plays like a buffet meal plated for you. It included a lamb samosa, mulligatawny soup, garlic naan, chicken tikka masala, lamb curry, saag paneer, raita, tandoori chicken, lamb sausage, Gulab jamin, Dal, and a chick pea dish. It sounds like a ton of food, but it's served in relatively small quantities so you can sample numerous things. Service was friendly and efficient. The atmosphere was pleasant. With the wood walls, it felt like a ski lodge. I did not eat everything because there was a lot of food. Everything I tried tasted good. Highlights for me included the Saag Paneer and lamb curry, both of which were pitch perfect. The garlic naan was also quite good. Kind of like Naan garlic bread. As for the biggest opportunities, the lamb samosa filling was a little dry and needed the chutneys to jazz it up. The outer texture was good though. The tandori chicken and lamb sausage were both overcooked and lacked the juiciness that the best versions of those dishes have. The Mulligatawny tasted good and had nice texture, but it arrived with a bit of the type of film that forms on certain soups that have been sitting without adequate stirring. Everything else was at least good. I ordered everything mild since I had not eaten there before and we had afternoon plans. I would order medium next time. I suspect I would have enjoyed the Chicken Tikka Masala more at medium spice, but it was still good. I would eat at Haveli again, but only if I was in the area. I have other options closer to home that I prefer. 3.5 Stars read more

We were the only people in. The Chicken Gassi was great. Spicy and flavorful. The lamb samosas were good too and only around $6. We tried a glass of rosé aswell which was nice. Good time. read more

This has been my go to spot in central CT for years. The weekend buffet is out of this world and the family run dining room is service perfection. If you want to try a little of the best of everything. There is no better spot in my opinion. Love this place!!! read more

We love Haveli, it's our favorite Indian restaurant in the area! Our go-to order is chicken tikka, kashmiri kebabs, chicken korma, lamb biryani, and Gobi Manchurian - everything is always delicious and the owner is very nice! Highly recommend read more

I got to know recently about Haveli's lunch buffet option on weekend. The only other Indian restaurant that serves buffet in the area (from New Haven to Hartford) is Priya Indian Cuisine in Rocky Hill, so I wanted to give Haveli a try. Unlike Priya where most options are South Indian, Haveli was mostly North Indian. But it turned out to be a good experience for us My family loved the Gobi Manchurian. From appetizers to curries to dessert, everything was yum. The options are far less compared to a standard Indian buffet, but everything was full of flavor. The service was good. read more

I ordered takeout from this restaurant on a Friday and was pleasantly surprised by the experience. Although the food took a little longer than expected, it was a Friday so that's understandable. My partner and I ordered the Lamb Vindaloo and the Meen Moilee (which had salmon) along with the onion bhajia for an appetizer. The food was well seasoned and very tasty and the spice level was exactly as we ordered it (Vindaloo was very spicy to our liking and the meen moilee was mild). The portion sizes were great for the price and the sauces that came with the meal were VERY good. My partner and I were fighting over the last few drops of one of the sauces. The interior was beautifully decorated based on what I saw when picking up the order. We will definitely be visiting again to dine in soon. read more

Haveli India - Indian Near Me - Middletown, Connecticut

Haveli may be hands down the best Indian buffet in Connecticut. Extensive buffet every weekend with at least a dozen veg and meat entrees every weekend. Everything is fresh and very tasty. Highly recommend. read more

I have been here several times, every time the food has been great and the staff helpful. Almost every time we go here we get the Samosa Chat for an appetizer. Love it! The flavors are so good! I'm always get a Mango Lass drink to easy some of the spice of my melas. This past time I had Saag Paneer and I loved it! My husband had Chicken Chettinad and he had it spicy! It was so good! That is why I needed the Lassi! We normally have pick up from here, but we have dined in and the staff was great! All in all this is a place we will continue to go to! read more

Love Haveli, the food is always amazing and the service is great! It's a cozy restaurant, we usually get the chicken tikka, the Kashmiri kebab, Goni Manchurian and chicken korma - everything is always delicious! read more

Back again! We tried a few different things than our favorites. We had the chicken tikka appetizer which was fabulous! Lots of tender chicken! My DH got something new, not super impressed. Thought the sauce would be different. The description says "hot cilantro garlic sauce". But looked and tasted like a more spicy sweet and sour sauce. Good flavor just not what was expected. I had the chicken korma always delicious! We also got something to go and was pleasantly surprised that they included the three little sauces and some of that thin crackers ( IDK the name) that you get at every table. It's still a place we would go back to. Maybe next time we will try all appetizers! read more

The only place I've ever been to which will help you create a Thali to-go. The food definitely has a Nepalese tinge to the flavor profile but it's still some of the most aromatic and flavorful south Asian food you'll find in Connecticut. read more

Stopped in to Haveli on a whim and was really impressed. We had the Veggie sampler as an appetizer and the full course meal. It was delightful. Expertly prepared, hot and flavorful! They even had a nice mixed hot pickle plate that was a very nice addition! Best Indian food I've had in a long time! read more

Haveli India - Indian Near Me - Middletown, Connecticut

"My family and I went to this restaurant for dinner last weekend. There were 12 of us, including kids. While the food we ordered seemed okay at first, things took a turn for the worse after we got back home. Everyone in the group started experiencing stomach aches, nausea, and heartburn. My daughter had the worst reaction, throwing up all night. The next day, we consulted a doctor, who confirmed it was due to food poisoning. This was a really frustrating and worrisome experience. I can't tell anyone about this place. Their guests' health and safety don't seem to be their top priorities. Food that triggers such strong emotions should not be served. Extremely Low Food Quality. Don't go here. read more

Lovely family owned and operated authentic Indian restaurant off the beaten path in Middletown. Quaint and unique establishment which is most inviting and tastefully decorated. Comfortable setting to invite relaxation for a wonderful meal. The menu is so varied, with many vegetarian and meat lovers options. It is so hard to decide what to get! Crisp bread and dippings immediately served upon arrival-waters as well. Service most friendly and attentive. Taj Mahal beer was great and unsweetened tea contained a unique blend of spices. Mulligatawny soup was very pleasing; I have had this numerous times elsewhere as strictly vegetarian. This soup contained chicken which was a twist..but would have preferred it without chicken. Chicken Tiki Masala was moist and flavorful. Baigan masala was fresh and tasty. Basmati rice perfectly cooked for both dishes. Kerna naan was so delicious and the garlic naan was out of this world good. All generous portions at most reasonable prices. We so wanted dessert, but too stuffed. Such a relaxed and pleasant experience, with the small exception of a well meaning staff who kept asking if we were done so she could clear the plates. This got to be annoying. Otherwise, a wonderful night out. We plan to return for the weekend buffet and more. read more
