The Haveli

We were driving around and stumbled upon this place for lunch on a Sunday afternoon, when we got in it was empty and we were a bit reluctant to go ahead and order wondering what was served would be okay. BUT OH MY GOD!!! We were in for a surprise the food was so amazing way better than anything we have had in Bay Area. Before we go on with the food I want to talk about the place, it’s set in quiet corner of a gas station that is frequented by the trucks and large delivery vehicles and their drivers stop by to grab a bite.the place is set against massive hills on one side and massive green fields on the other side and it’s really like a hidden little gem like place. Now about the food, the place had some amazing option for meat lovers but we are vegetarians and opted for obviously vegetar

Update: We went there after few weeks, and tried their samosa, goat curry, paneer masala and chole bhature. The samosas taste freshly fried and home made, very well stuffed. Their goat curry is finger licking good and the meat is so tender that it was falling from the bones. Their paneer masala is in a thick buttery gravy, again delicious. The chole bhature is decent, not special enough. Altogether, this place never disappoints, one of the most authentic North Indian restaurants around. This is probably one of the best gas station break surprises (good type). We were driving to a Christmas getaway and were amazingly surprised by this Indian place. They have a great selection of Indian foods, with snacks like break pakoda , to the chicken tandoors. They definitely make their food onsite an

Absolutely amazing experience. The service was excellent—friendly, and welcoming—but the food is what really blew me away. As someone who is very picky about Indian food, I can confidently say this is the best Indian food I’ve ever had. The food was full of flavor, perfectly cooked, and clearly made with love. You can tell they take pride in both their food and their service. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to anyone who loves great Indian food.

Incredibly satisfying and satiating experience here. The food came out just as per request. They accommodated swapping a side with another. The condiments(achar) on the side were to die for. Spicy and delicious and so was the mixed kulcha and dal makhni. Most importantly them serving in a beautiful steel thali and silverware shows the standards they maintain despite being a small restaurant by the fwy next to a gas station, something the Bay Area Indian restaurants should learn from who be stingy in their serving plate quality. The place was clean, the atmosphere and the host was welcoming. Would definitely stop by again on my next travel!

Old was delicious, hot and perfectly spiced. Generous portions for the price. I had the butter chicken which had big chunks of chicken breast and the sauce was spot on. My husband had chicken kebabs that came out on a sizzling plate. He said his dish was delicious. We also split garlic naan and we were stuffed. The gentleman taking our order was very nice. You order and pay, but they bring your food to you. The serving trays that everyone gets with their silverware and bowl were very pretty. We were too busy devouring our food to think about taking more photos. Wish this place was closer to home but we’ll stop by when we’re on the road. There seemed to be a fair amount of regulars that eat here. The owners talked with several different tables while we were there.
