Haveli Modern Indian Cuisine – Authentic Halal Indian Flavors & Warm Hospitality in Lodi, NJ

I had a wonderful evening at Naveli Restaurant. From the moment we walked into the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming. The staff greeted us with genuine smiles a rarity these days. Overall: great food, excellent service, and I’ll definitely be back. What really makes this place stand out, though, is the owner such a kind and genuine person who truly cares about his customers. You can tell he takes pride in the food and service, always checking in to make sure everyone’s happy. It’s rare to find that kind of warmth and hospitality these days. Highly recommend Naveli for anyone looking for delicious halal Indian food and great service!

We stopped by with a group of friends and ended up leaving as full-on fans. The thecha paneer was the star of the night — spicy, vibrant, and honestly to die for. The dal makhani had that slow-cooked, buttery depth that makes you want to guard the bowl like treasure. The breads were super soft, fresh off the tandoor, and perfect for scooping up every last bit. And the chicken biryani? Spot on. Fragrant, flavorful, and cooked exactly the way biryani should be. It’s the kind of place that works for everything — a cozy meal with family, a night out with friends, or even takeout when you want something truly good at home. Already excited to go back!

Honestly some of the best Indian food I’ve had in a long time around my area! The service was great and the chicken biryani was my favorite! All the apps we got were delicious.

Loved food! Really really good. Spicy, deep intense flavors. Clean, modern design, with comfortable food. My absolutely favorite was the ha paneer, lasuni gobi and mango avocado bhel.

Tried out Haveli recently and it's a good addition for Indian food in the area! It's a small space and in an overlooked strip mall, so pretty easy to miss location wise. We tried the gobi, paneer tikka and chaat it was pretty good. Will be back to try the main courses.

Tried it for the first time and I must say, I was impressed by the quality and taste of food. We ordered Thehcha paneer, Lasooni gobi, and palak chat as apps then dal makhani and paneer lababdar as entrees…. It was absolutely yummy. Good food = great time!

Honestly, so pleasantly surprised by this restaurant! We were able to go when it first opened and the food was so good! The space is super clean which is important to us. all of the food was well balanced flavor wise which is hard to come by with a lot of local restaurants. The chana masala is the best I’ve ever had in my life! We are vegetarian and we ordered the palak chaat, lasooni gobi, methi gota, achari and thecha paneers and literally of all of was so good. The palak chaat was tempura fried so it was so light and crispy! For mains, we ordered chana masala, paneer labadar, and palak paneer which were all amazing. We can’t wait to try other options. The table next to us got the sham savera which looked amazing too. We were too stuffed for dessert but there were a few unique options we went to try in the future. 10/10 and we would absolutely recommend if you’re looking for really good Indian food in the area (which we think the area was missing until now)!
