Review: Haveli Indian Restaurant
Status: Approved!
Overall score: 7.4
We are pleased to announce Haveli has been added to our approved list of curry houses in Saigon!
Nestled above a motorbike parking shop opposite Ben Thanh market, Haveli offers a ‘back to basics’ approach to Indian restaurants. With just enough room to fit the 13 OCC members and reviewers for our March meet plus a few civilians, Anthony and the team did a great job at providing attentive service, whilst ensuring dishes came out on time and beers remained flowing 🍻
The restaurant is simply decorated, and has a "home-stay feel", but on the whole the food received positive comments, especially the curries that were priced at a very reasonable 120k and starters including the spicy chicken and samosas. Next time we are hoping for a hotter curry when asking for something spicy though 🥵
If you’re at a loose end this weekend and looking for a no frills, decent curry in the heart of the city then Haveli is a great shout. Just don’t tell your partner you’ve organised a romantic dinner 😜
