First visit tonight for dinner and it was overall a pretty good experience, one that will bring me back in the future. I went for the chicken vindaloo and of course I had to try the samosas so I got an order of them as well. The samosas were pretty spot on. Good amount of spice, good size, nice proportion of filling. The chutney was delicious and complimented the samosa perfectly. The vindaloo was pretty good as well, there was a decent amount of chicken and potato in the dish. I ordered it medium expecting some heat but didn't get much at all, it was definitely more of a mild than a medium so I'll have to try spicy next time. It was still a pretty good experience, I could have done with a little more chicken in the vindaloo and definitely some more spice but it was enjoyable and the flavor was all there minus the heat so I'll definitely drop in again for another try one day.

The food is always really good. The staff is always friendly as well. We love to grab it to go never without samosas and naan! The spice level can be a little inconsistent.... sometimes right on and sometimes not spicy enough.

Excellent food! They were delicious! I ordered everything mild and they were perfect! Just the right amount of heat and saltiness! To me, this place is the best Indian restaurant I have ever tried!

I have tried several restaurants that serve Indian food in Bakersfield and Haveli has been the most consistent to me. I do enjoy and recommend the medium or spicy chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, and the mango lassi. They do offer mildly spicy versions for most of the dishes for people who can't tolerate spicy food. I like that they also take orders to go or through door dash. Service has been good all the time and prices are reasonable compared to other local restaurants.

Been wanting to try this place. Finally got a chance to try it. It wasn't busy at all and service was great. We got the chicken mahkni and the chicken tikka masala was all so flavorful especially over the rice. I think the appetizer stole the show. The fish was crunchy and not dry, and the seasoning on it was so good. Overall all I'd say the dishes are about the same as others I've had but I would come back just for the fish pakora! The food was enough and had it for left overs the next day.

I love love love Haveli. My smile goes from ear to ear whenever I ask a friend where they'd wanna have dinner and they say Haveli. I feel safe trying new things here. Indian food is known for heavy seasoning but dang does this place have it down. So savory you just get an insane medley of flavors. So make sure you order the naan! It's the best medium for all the amazing flavor. My friend ordered something off menu, it was this cauliflower dish that visually resembles orange chicken. The spices worked with it so well! I'm not huge on vegetarian food but I could eat this forever! I wish I got the name! I also tried their Lamb Vindaloo cause I was feeling adventurous. Freaking amazing. Soft, tender, fall of the bone! Vindaloo is now my new favorite. I highly recommend it. The gravy is different from the usual western favorites such as tikka masala and butter chicken. It is so worth a try! This place opened my eyes to it and now I order it every time I have Indian food! I heard this place has a great happy hour but I have yet to give it a shot. Hard to pass up a good buzz and delicious food!

We ordered dinner through DoorDash. We had the veg samosas, garlic naan, butter chicken, mushroom marsala, and veggie biryani. Everything was delicious and really hot the spot. We also ordered three desserts and it wasn't my taste. The kheer rice pudding was decent.
