The food was amazing, I enjoyed the lamb vindaloo and will have to try the goat next time. Service was excellent, very attentive. The atmosphere was nice and calming, a beautiful place to eat. read more

My husband and I checked this place out because it was soooo close to where we live. Really hoping it'd be a great find so we wouldn't have to go to Ellicott City or elsewhere for good Indian food. I must say the rating for this place is very deceiving. Makes you expect a gem. Unfortunately, it's not a gem for us. It's like you went to someone's house as a paying guest. Small place. You pour yourself a warm cup of water from a carafe that's on your table. No ice. Get in line to pick up your own utensils and even a napkin out of its plastic wrap. No service at all, which can be a good thing I guess. Do you tip anyways? I don't know. Considering everything, the price is high. Sad for us. Back to searching. read more

I first tried takeout when they had a soft opening a few weeks ago and returned yesterday for their lunch buffet. The lunch buffet is $12.99 (Friday) and has several items. They did have chicken tikki masala, but most of the dishes I didn't recognize as this restaurant specializes in Southern Indian cuisine. They had several vegetarian and non-vegetarian options - my favorite was the Nilgiri chicken kurma. Everything I tried was very flavorful, even the tandori chicken had a more complex blend of spices than I have experienced at other restaurants. The spread isn't as large as Royal Taj or other nearby locations, but there were plenty of options, and I thought it was a decent value for the price. They do have styrofoam containers for the soup which was kind of odd, however they do have 'real' plates. They did a great job of refilling the buffet with fresh items during my visit. We have several wonderful Indian restaurants in Howard County but Haldi offers a different cuisine than the others. Several businesses failed at this location over the past several years, I hope Haldi is here to stay. read more

We catered the food for our party from Haldi. The guest immensely enjoyed every dish. Grandmaa's chicken and the Shahi Tudka was a hit. We would definitely stop by on some weekend to try their special lunch buffet. read more

Hours are crappy for me. Have tried to get food 3 times, but they are always closed. Closed completely on a Monday afternoon and 5pm on Tuesday read more

The Chicken 65 is LOVE! My favorite is always butter chicken but every time I visit the owner is always encouraging me to try new things and the food is great every time! Michael is a great chef! Give that man a raise! read more

We ordered takeout for the first time tonight. Loved the shrimp moilee and the nilgiri chicken kurma. The sauce for the shrimp actually reminded me of a Thai curry sauce. Its a huge menu, so cant wait to try more. read more

This may be the best Indian restaurant you have yet to try in Howard County. I was SUPER impressed and I don't impress easily. We are big fans of Royal Taj, but the wait to get in is sometimes too much to bear, so we thought we would give Haldi a try. This restaurant is easily AS GOOD as Royal Taj, but without the wait. I should also mention we've been to a number of the Indian restaurants in HoCo and some just aren't worth mentioning. So for those of you who would like to try Haldi (and TRUST ME, you SHOULD), here is some helpful advice: 1) They are in the process of getting their liquor license, but don't have it yet (in case this is a deal-breaker for you). 2) This is South Indian cuisine. You will also notice that the dishes are spicier than "typical" Indian food found in the states. If this bothers you, order "mild," but fair warning, it will still be spicy. Even the chicken tikka masala is spicy. If spice really bothers you, stick to butter chicken or something similar. (Note - I speak from experience - The butter chicken is good, but it is not spicy). 3) The mango lassi was the best I've ever had (yes - even better than Royal Taj). I highly recommend the Mango Lassi. 4) As someone else mentioned, they are closed on Monday and close mid-day during the rest of the week. If you stick to typical lunch and dinner hours, you'll be fine. 5) Clearly the chef has some executive experience. All of our meals were presented beautifully and were garnished appropriately. I was quite surprised - I didn't expect this. The food here is divine. So be sure to patronize this establishment in Elkridge. It's worth the trip! read more

I am always keen to try new restaurants and this was one of them . Restaurant was clean . Servers were friendly but slow . We ordered gobi 65 and two of the signature dishes . We didn't like any of our ordered food . I started reading some of the good reviews from yelp and realized may be they are good in South Indian food , so we ordered Rasam , finally something better . Didn't like chole also . I guess if you are going to this restaurant try their South Indian items only . read more

This is an updated review and I'm going from 4 stars to 1 star. This is the second time this restaurant has messed up my order. When ordering on their website for pickup, they have a Happy Hour Menu where you can supposedly get 3 piece samosas for $2.99. Well when I got home from picking it up, there were only two samosas. When I called them, the man who answered insisted that Happy Hour samosas only included two samosas. That's not what's on their website and that's not what I ordered. He made no attempt to remedy this issue. In the picture you can clearly see that it says 3pc. read more

Haldi Indian Restaurant - Online "Happy Hour" - Indian Near Me - Elkridge, Maryland

So delicious, but not for the meek! My first order was for a vindaloo takeaway. I ordered it medium since it's a spicy dish. After a few bites I had to give up. Too spicy! So I opened a can of coconut cream and scooped some fat out abs stirred it in. Still too much. On Saturday I ordered a chicken korma, mild. Too spicy. When I called they were very helpful and very apologetic and promised me an edible experience on Tuesday. I just finished shoveling a plate full of chicken korma into my face. So delicious! Wonderful food, friendly and accommodating service. I love this place! read more

This was a delicious buffet with great variety! Food was spicy but good and there were so many options. South Indian, so it was slightly different than the average buffets you find in Columbia and had more flavor and spice! Something is to be said about how good it is when most of the customers that filled the restaurant were Indian! Music and decor were nice too- music was a little too loud(my only complaint). Will definitely be back! read more

Wow! Just ordered chicken tikka masala with some garlic naan bread and it totally surpassed my expectations! This restaurant has gone through several owners over the past few years, but this one is the best by far! We are loyal Royal Taj fans however Haldi's food (at least the chicken tikka masala) was just as good! The sauce was a little saucier, not complaining, and the flavor and heat were just perfect! Will definitely return...we did carry out, so can't comment on the service. read more

Great food and affordable prices! Had buffet on a weekend and everything was delicious! Items were fresh and tasted very authentic. South Indian delicacies including mutton roast, chicken biryani and mixed vegetable curry were really tasty! Must try items are eggplant chips and sautéed fish with Indian spices. Minor things like the plates and bowls served in need an upgrade. Overall a great place to enjoy some authentic Indian food! read more

Great Buffet! Large selection, Great price, Very tasty. I ate far too much. I would highly recommend it . read more

Really love the food here. I've been here multiple times after the re-opening(I guess it changed the owner as well - much better than b4). I tried buffet today and am very happy to see the option of goat there and also the fruit punch tastes great. Finally there is a great Indian restaurant that is right outside of my community. read more

Excellent curries especially Goat Chettinad and Grandma's Chicken Curry. Good varied selection of Naan breads. Will come back again.

We had a fantastic birthday celebration at this restaurant! They accommodated 14 of us; the food was fabulous! Service was fast. Also, the manager and restaurant workers were wonderful! I highly recommend them! We loved all our entrees (and we ordered a lot). The surprise hit was the Gobi 65! read more

From start to finish, Haldi staff did a great job. I held a party at home and they were on time, efficient and extremely helpful from set up to clean up. We thoroughly enjoyed their food and truly appreciate Haldi for making our evening a memorable one. Look forward to using their services again. read more

I have had food from Haldi on two occasions - one was take-out and the other at a community event. For take-out, we had Goat biryani and tandoori chicken. Both were fantastic and taste great. Goat biryani was made medium spicy to our liking and has good amount of goat meat in it. Tandoori chicken was good too. At the community event, they were serving quite a few dishes and all were exceptional. Highly recommend. read more
