As we left more people arrived for meals and take aways. You will read elsewhere that the place is in the middle of nowhere but if you live in the Hills district it is not that much of a drive. It is near the turnoff to Galston. There is plenty of onsite parking too. There was way too much food on this voucher for two people and it was such a good advertisement for the place. It is not a small restaurant and also has an area sectioned off for a private party. Whilst there appears to have always been an Indian restaurant here the current owners have been here for less than a year. I think I will have to come back on a Saturday night when they have their entertainment.

Fantastic food now that it has new owners again and on Saturday night they have entertainment by way of an Indian crooner who is seriously funny though he doesn't intend to be. Unusual dishes and very nice staff, it's a lovely drive all the way to Mid-Dural to the restaurant. Needs a bit of paint outside and a couple of things need fixing in the inside but the new owners are keen to get the business back to where it was. Shouldn't take them too long.

I didn't really want to write a review of this place. I wanted to keep this place secret for myself…read moreand for those others who have stumbled upon it. This place is as authentic as you can get as evidenced by my partners thumbs up (he has travelled through South India) and also by the stream of Indian people who frequent the place. And it is cheap, the people are super friendly and although there is no ambience or decor to speak of the dosas take you away on a journey to South India. Masala dosa is a favourite with it's richly aromatic filling and the chai tea is truly the real deal unlike those pathetic bubblegum-like tea bags you can buy in the supermarket. Just go! No, no! Just DONT go! I want it all for myself! Actually maybe if they get even more people then I might convince them to get some signage, business cards and menus done through me (I'm a graphic designer); he, he!

The food at this restaurant is exquisite. Indian cuisine actually at its height in Sydney! I love…read moretheir Punjabi thali, it is my favourite to order. The curries are always spiced perfectly, not overly creamy and have a great, genuine flavour! Their entrees, such as samosa and onion fritters, have a wonderful authenticity about them, no artificial flavour at all! And their mango lassi is the best I have ever had (and I have had a lot) in Sydney! The only area where this restaurant falls short off is good service at times. They are often quite busy, but as hard as they try, can't quite keep up with their demand right now. Hope it changes, so they can become 5 star!

When we got there, around 1:30p on a Sat, no one offered to help us w menus or seating. When we were ready to order, we had to flag someone at the take away counter. The decor is great, w lots of statutes portraying scenes of Indian life. It felt like eating inside a museum, which I enjoyed because you have something to check out afterwards. Food was just average w my dish being quite flavorful but salty and my wife's just average. The cost was quite pricey; average $20 for the mains, which comes in a small bowl, and doesn't include any extras such as rice. Didn't have a chance to try their dessert bar this time, but all the more reason to come back. Though my initial impression of Haveli's is that this place had average but pricey food w mediocre service, I'd like to come back and try it again.

Angi is in a smallish area of restaurants and other shops with quite a lot of parking. There is an Italian restaurant a thai restaurant and Chinese, all pretty good but Indian and Thai are my favs! Beautiful western classics like butter chicken and rogan josh are def done really really well. The butter chicken is incredible! So damn creamy and flavoursome and just absolutely outstanding when dipped with the cheesy oozy garlic naan.. oh man! So Hungry right now!! As usual Its a little on the expensive side like most indian places are compared to Thai but this place is worth the few $$ extra. Don't leave this place with out some butter chicken and garlic cheese naan! You'll thank me later!

We had a couple of entrees (starters) and took the waitress' advice and only ordered one biryani and naan. She was right. That was enough for the two of us. The food was excellent. The chat salad was fresh. The chicken tikka was the best we have had for a while. The goat biryani was tasty and filling. The last time we were here there as a really noisy group but this time there were much quieter customers. The noise comes from over the road with the galahs and rosellas etc in the trees around dusk...deafening. No problems with parking as the restaurant is part of a shopping centre. The have a loo in the restaurant but it wasn't working too well. The service was excellent. Don't forget to have a little teaspoon of moth freshener before you go home.

They bring out a waffer cracker before you order with a dipping sauce and water. We ordered butter chicken, lamb cutlets, garlic naan and yellow rice. My favorite by far were the lamb cutlets #4 on the menu. They were so good. The garlic naan was the weakest link in the meal but was still ok. I'd recommend this place to others.

Those reviews only left me unprepared for a nice meal! It was delicious, as good as any Indian meal I've ever eaten. I ordered a Chicken Tikka Masala, which arrived steaming hot, on a steaming hot plate, radiating the most mouth-watering smell, I nearly drooled all over myself. Next were the garlic naans, which were soft and chewy in all the right proportions. The waiter was adorable. He seemed shy and nervous, while being very attentive and helpful at the same time. He noticed that my date had not ordered any raita with his rice (for he is unschooled in the ways of Indian dining), and offered him some mint chutney for free. Which my date greedily downed, of course, extolling its virtues the whole way through. The chicken was excellent, it was moist, and yielding, and scrumptious. The naans were delicious, and the service was good. The only downside; the rice was a little clumpy. That was a bit of a disappointment, but it wasn't overly unpleasant. All this, for less than $12 each, which I think is a downright steal.
