Haveli Indian Cuisine is part of a small Atlanta chain of restaurants, unnoticed by newspapers and social media. I’m not sure why. Lively spicing and rich flavors are the hallmark of this restaurant, along with a tendency to cook their foot on the spot — though these days they do have lunch buffets.
Their samosa have a kick to them and are good eaten in or takeout.
Their naan isn’t bad either.
Tandoori chicken and tikka masala work well here, and Haveli’s curries have some kick to them. They have a dish called a jalfrezi which seems an Indian equivalent of ropa vieja, rich in tomato flavors and really worth some consideration.
I’ve eaten in and taken out, both more than once, and right now, I’m tending to eat out more than in. I like the staff, sweet natured generally and helpful. The inside is serviceable instead of pretty, and has the feel of a restaurant still ironing out their kinks. On occasion they lose their air conditioning. I would call ahead if you’re considering dining in.

Ate here once for dinner. Good fast service and pleasaant staff. Probably will not go back because,though I love Indian food, I hate pain and the flavor was overwhelmed by the FIRE in the mouth. and Yes, we did ask for very mild spice.

We also love Indian food, but will never go back to this restaurant. They took over 35 minutes to bring our meal and then overcharged us for bread, rice, all of which was supposed to be included in the meal price. They were so busy worrying about a big group coming in later that day, that they neglected their regular customers. We will find another place to eat good Indian food. They have seen the last of us.
