| - I went to Haweli Indian earlier today and is a pretty, new restaurant in the Shea 14 Harkins area (like one major plaza away more west on Shea). The dining area is decorated very nicely and gives the feel of an upscale restaurant. All the tables were adorned with really nice Indian style table clothes on top of the standard nice white ones, with water glasses and golden napkins. Beautiful chandeliers hung all over the restaurant area and there were TV's available for viewing sports. We were greeted immediately and shown to a table of our choice while the waitress arrived and filled our water glasses. The waitress was very knowledgeable of the cuisine and was able to describe it very well. They have a large menu that is well detailed with descriptions of what each dish contained. They brought out this cracker style bread and some dipping sauces before we ordered, one sauce was tamarind based and was nice and sweet while the other was green and I think cilantro based and remind me of previous Indian food I've had. We ordered the garlic naan bread (A must) Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Madras, and the Tandoori Chicken with rice. All three of the chicken dishes were excellent, the Madras was the most spicy and went really well with the Partha bread. The Tandoori was a nice lightly spiced grilled chicken with vegetables that is definitely the safest choice for the non adventurous members of the group. Then there was the Chicken Tikka Masala it had such delicious spices with a nice sweet after taste. It went excellently with the rice, went excellent with the Naan and was awesome by itself. Definitely the must have dish here, so if you're only going to get one I suggest this but everything was delicious so there probably are no bad choices. I will venture out a little next time I come, but I think I'm going to make the Tikka Masala a staple with any party I come with. Overall they have really great service, excellent food, and a beautiful atmosphere. This place should be on anyone who is in the areas; must try list. Go experience it yourself, hopefully you have an experience similar to mine and if you do I know you'll want to come back. Enjoy :)
