The food is amazing and the waiters are really nice. In particular the aubergine curry is delicious. The prices are okay.
Only thing to note is that the poppadoms and sauces are truly expensive. 0.90 pound per poppadom and 2.40 pounds for the chutney/sauces it really seems to me a bit too much. But other than that, we love this places, it was a great discovery!

This small, compact, hidden gem is one of the best food tasting restaurants we've ever been to. Every thing since we set foot in the place was amazing. Great customer service, the employees there knew what they were doing. Starters to main, everything perfect. I'm a foodie and tried butter chicken all over the globe, but their speciality butter chicken is I would say in the top 3 of my list. Amazing food at reasonable prices.
Could do a little bit faster with the food, but still no complaints, the food is worth the wait.
Amazing experience. Will definitely go back.

Food was truly amazing!!! Best indian style mix grill I've had. Chicken jalfrezi and lamb karahi were both delicious. Meat & chicken was really tender and not dry like most places. Tasted freshness with everything I ordered and it was all flavoursome. Great experience, no faults or complaints.

First visit last night - food was absolutely amazing. Great service and decor of restaurant was lovely. Portions are generous hence we had what we didn’t eat baggged up. The staff put complimentary beers in our take away bag. Really cannot recommend the restaurant enough and we will def be back!

I ordered a chicken karahi with potato and the chef very kindly agreed to make aloo paratha. I was so impressed with the food, lovely flavour and great service. Also mango lassi was spot on. Delicious and beautiful interior, highly recommended.
Will be back again

First visit to this restaurant and James Mirza was attentive throughout. Lovely relaxed atmosphere with good food and good wine. You may pay a little extra but you are paying for quality.

Went out with friends as had heard great things about this restaurant.
Amazing service, food was good and a nice and relaxing environment. Only a small selection of vegetarian dishes but overall a great place to eat.

Ordered a delivery from here first time ever, due to my usual place not answering their phone. Was a bit surprised by the price; £2.40 more than I pay from the other place nearby; but after eating my curry & extras I have to say it was a pretty decent dish. Tasty, just hot enough to justify being a Madras, but not overly hot. Certainly tasted a lot better than it first looked. Will be ordering from them again in the not too distant future.

Love this place, lovely restaurant, tablecloths, fresh flowers, delicious food served by great waiters, lots of vegetarian as well as meat and fish choices, full bar, great coffee, delivery available. Park in Bearwood bus station car park five minute walk. Been going here over thirty years never disappoints. Booking recommended particularly at weekends. Not wheelchair friendly.

What an amazing experience. Heard about the place through some friends who recommended it, so decided to go check it out for myself. Very nice decor and clean premises, the owner (James) and his great team will instantly make you feel at home. The menu is easy to understand yet full of information. The food was prepared in due time and was finger licking. I'd definately comeback and recommend it to everyone.

Picked based on Google maps review and it didn't disappoint! Owner was very helpful and friendly from the start, on the phone and in person, when I collected. A complimentary half pint is always a good idea and appreciated. 🤣
Aside from that, the food was excellent! I ordered Onion Bhaji, Poppadoms, Chicken Tikka Masala, Mushroom Rice and a Garlic Naan; everything tasted great and was piping hot.
Would visit again and recommend!
Keep up the good work guys! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

See for yourself. This is probably one of the most conflicting reviews I will ever write......<br/>never been here always lived around this area. Have eaten in other places around Bearwood so can safely say this is honest!! <br/>Ok ate here about a month ago just to try it out.......<br/>we were seat immediately!! (brill eh) at the back of the restaurant in front of the cutlery trays, surrounded by all there cleaning products. All at the edge of my chair. The waiters who were extremely polite and fast working, apologised as they literally worked around my head and the back of me. (I felt like I was in a train station) On the way up to our table it was apparent that the place was ....is quite dirty, food on the floor up to the kitchen etc, under tables a bit like Hansel and Gretel trails. As we sat and looked at each other waiting for the other to say lets leave. We browsed the not so clean menus. The place was packed and everyone appeared to be regular customers, you know when you can sense by the way the staff address the customers and vice versa. There was a good mix of cultures which is usally a good sign. Also more mature customers that look like they'd be picky about where they ate......so we stayed. <br/>The chutney tray came-it was filthy with rings of mint yogurt from other users, the mango chutney if you can call it that was and this is no exaggeration! like lumps of phlem mixed with water but not quite mixed. Absolutely vile!<br/>Starters came- they were stunning in both taste and appearance. Could have had loads of them instead of a main simply delicious!!<br/>Mains-Again really lovely, very very tasty!!!!<br/>Naan bread- we ordered peswari naan....like the fact its sweet......not this one it looked lovely honestly really did. It was card boardy, salty and just in edible.<br/>I was really expeacting a dodgey tummy from here but was pleasantly suprised not a glimmer of a grumble. I wouldn't eat here again because of the hygiene factors and if front of house is like this whats the kitchen?<br/>You'd have to see for youself...the curries are stunning and the starters. I do wonder if looks of places can be disceiving as beck in may we ate at Red oven up the rd, spotlessly clean.....but the service was obismal!! I was given a tips glass with my birthday cocktail in.....yes it actually had money in glass and the owner tried to say I put the money in there. 8 of ate there that night and everyone complained of the food being salty. service was a joke and so was the food. out of the 2 if I had to go to one or the other it would be Haweli. but please dont serve people chutney trays that have already been used. it gross, you food tastes great and service fast and efficient!!

Old School Expertise. I'm and old school curry muncher - never did buy into the Shimla Pinks type of thing, and this restaurant is the ultimate "Curry House" If you want a Bhuna the way they should be Dry Rich Tomato and very tender chicken, well you will die and go to heaven, the same goes for some of the other things I have tried, they are just the way us Brummies remember em and love em. Rice up to scratch, and the breads are gorgeous, the Nan bread light soft and crispy edged, Jupati fresh and not soggy like so many others, Draft Cobra...... Ice cold what more can you ask for. <br/>As a foot note there appears to some old postings here regarding the decor, well I found it nice and Bright and clean (its obviously been decorated since these reviews, but saying that....., the staff are friendly and attentive - and more than make up for this not been a designers heaven - after all .....Its a Great Great Curry House

Best Indian in the Bearwood area. Take my word for it - this is the best Indian around Bearwood. Note that bookings are fairly essential on most nights.

Frankly the best Indian restaurant in Birmingham. Try the chicken jalfrazi dry fry or the tandoori mixed grill.

Haweli is on the very busy Hagley Road, opposite the Kings Head pub and parking can be difficult, but persist as it is really worth it. I am latecomer to Haweli, I must say. I think it's been there for years but it is now a favourite of mine. It is quite cramped and not the most glamourous of restaurants but it attracts a real mixed crowd and you HAVE to book at the weekend as I doubt you would get in otherwise. The service is friendly and it is licensed. So on to the main attraction - the food at Haweli is lovely. It is a pretty extensive menu - and if you are vegetarian, you are in for a cheap night as it is really reasonable. Not that it will break the bank for carnivores but as a vegetarian I think you would be pushed to spend £10 per head on food here. The star dishes is their Saag Paneer. It's really authentic, the paneer is creamy and soft and the spinach carries subtle spices. . Haweli attracts quite a few Asian families - a good sign I would say.
