Haveli Ristorante Indiano a Firenze — Restaurant in Florence

Quite delicious food here! We were not expecting such tasty Indian food in Florence. Only downside is that the portion sizes were quite small and the servers took a very long time to come and take our order. Food did come fast though. It's just that we have to wait a really long time for our order to be taken.

Garlic naan was very flavorful. Simple, but delicious. I was expecting something very fancy for the chili garlic naan but I think I preferred the garlic naan more.

Dal Banzara was AMAZING! Large chunks of dal, and proper spicy too. So good!

Jeera Rice Was also simple but delicious. Good ratio of the rice and jeera.

Dad got Gosh Beliram (a mutton dish) and loved it! The actual gravy part was spicy which was very appreciated.

Murgh Makhan Wala was basically like butter chicken. Quite a creamy curry but I think it could have been a little more spicy. Felt fairly sweet at some point.

Hariyali Kebab was very meh. Sister got this and said it was very plain; No flavor.

Pistachio Lassi was a disappointment. There wasn't really much pistachio flavor; Mostly just lassi flavor with a hint of pistachio.

Masala Chai was a hit! Came in a cute tea cup as well. It was not hot though; More like room temperature, so it had to be...

After enjoying the gelato , wood fired pizza and various pasta dishes for the past 5 days in Florence , my wife and I desperately needed something spicy and savoury that we grew up with.

Entering the glass doors during our reservation , we were greeted by the host and was seated immediately. The ochre/mustard coloured walls reflecting city of Firenze was also harmonious to the spices used in Indian cuisine.

While deciding to order, we were served papad with chutneys and a lime pickle.

We ordered the pistachio Lassi as well as the traditional Mango Lassi. The fresh yoghurt with mango was really good as expected. What really pleasantly surprised us was the pistachio lassi which was something we never tried.

The lamb chops were well marinated, soft and tender.

The garlic and butter naan was freshly made and was soft.

The chicken kadahi served in a copper bowl was very delicious with a good portion of tender chicken.

Lastly we ordered the chicken biryani . The chicken biryani was well spiced. The rice was abit over cooked in our opinion.

In conclusion , this was a fantastic meal and we definitely will visit the next time we are in beautiful city of Florence and crave authentic Indian food. Definitely...
