As an adventurer of fine international cuisine, the fare of India has always been a favourite selection. As a resident of Simi Valley, I observed the presence of only two such dining services available. Having sampled one, I then proceeded to give Indian Haweli equal customer examination. The results were most delightful. The shahi paneer and chicken tikka masala were both exquisite topped over rice, with a pleasant side of samosas, aloo tikki, and the restaurant's signature tandoori bread as a mop for excess sauce. It gave this one a sense of fantastically exotic taste and culinary delight that is a rare discovery among most dining experiences of the past. The staff gave a fond family reflection of the mutual joy shared in cooking and sharing the fare with satisfied customers. The interior decor complimented the culture and allowed diners to appreciate the taste of India, without travelling to the country, as beautiful as it is in the world. Pros: excellent food with delicious flavour, an attentive staff and an environment that pays tribute to the nation. Cons: some would argue that a limited buffet provides only too little a selection, but there is merit in such for the sake of maintaining resources to keep the diner functioning, without depleting its produce. A rating of 4.5 out of five stars is the vote of this customer. That lack of perfection is given for the sake of positive encouragement to always strive for improvement and progress, for with perfection comes no sense of making anything better. It's not the destination, but the journey. May all who visit the Indian Haweli leave with pleased satisfaction and the desire to return again, sooner or later, to enjoy the wonderful fare provided by this excellent testament of Indian...
Read moreindian haweli is sooooo good food i realy like i tI went for dinner here with my family and we thoroughly enjoyed it. However, we were spoiled because the place was nearly empty and we were given their full attention.There are lots of Indian restaurants in the Simi Valley & Thousand Oaks. The decor in many of them is bland, unoriginal and/or not interesting. I would say indian haweli is consistent with the competition in the decor category and need of some more of Indian artwork you typically see in many of them. If you want great decor, head over the hill to Ventura County if you are up for the drive. I like great food and short drives which makes indian haweli tops on my list of great places for Indian grub.I recommend getting the "red basket" of Indian bread. You'll receive a variety of bread including onion kulcha, garlic naan and plain naan. Furthermore, they have great seafood dishes which is really unique and enjoyable when it is couple with Indian flavors. It's a refreshing upgrade from the basic chicken tandoori. They didn't have their liquor license yet ,which was great. We bought some wonderful beer at a store nearby and they were really easy going about it. They even opened it for us and brought us glasses. No "corkage" fee! ;)The prices were great and the indian haweli is outstanding. I strongly recommend giving Kwality a try and I think you'll enjoy an easy going unpretentious atmosphere with...
Read moreIndian Haweli is, as far as I know, the only Indian buffet in Simi Valley—and it’s absolutely amazing. The food is fresh, flavorful, and authentic. The goat curry was one of the best I’ve had—tender, rich, and perfectly spiced. The aloo gobi was hearty and full of flavor, while the chicken tikka masala was creamy and delicious, with just the right balance of spice.
The saag paneer was another standout—the paneer was soft and fresh, paired beautifully with the spinach. The garlic naan came out warm, soft, and full of flavor, making it the perfect companion to all the curries. And the samosas were extraordinary—crispy on the outside and fresh inside, especially the chicken cauliflower samosa.
They also serve beer and wine, with a full liquor license, which makes the dining experience even better. The restaurant itself has a cozy, family-style atmosphere, and the location is convenient. Since it’s the only Indian buffet in Simi Valley, it really feels like a hidden gem worth discovering.
If I had to be picky, I’d say the curry could use just a little more garlic—but honestly, everything was so tasty it hardly matters. From the goat curry to the tikka masala, from the saag paneer to the garlic naan, every dish was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying.
Overall, Indian Haweli is a fantastic spot for authentic Indian food in Simi Valley. Great food, great variety, great atmosphere—it’s a place I’ll definitely be...
