When all the other late night, food/pizza shops close for the evening, Halwani Cuisine is still going strong. If you truly need a late night option in the Grandview Heights/Tri Village area, this is your solution. Look no further - because frankly when it's super late at night, there aren't many options, and Halwani can really take care of of you. read more

Fine food but belied by a lengthy wait. I placed an online order for pickup and was quoted 20 minutes. I showed up 30 minutes later and the order hadn't even been started. Apparently there was a staffing shortage that evening, which is unfortunate and the owner was very apologetic. However waiting *an additional* 30 minutes for my order to cook after I arrived sullied the whole experience. Just isolating the food, I think the Tandoori Chicken pizza is unique, spicy and overall good. To balance the heat, I added some creamy ranch dressing from my fridge which really enhanced the pizza. The Original Stromboli was okay. The restaurant doesn't serve pork, and the beef pepperoni didn't really hit for me. But I would feel confident in other Strombolis because the dough, cheese and marinara are all strong. read more

The pizza has really gone downhill. Not sure what happened? In the past, id rate it a 9 out of 10. Savory pizza and awesome wings. Now the pizza was mediocre and the wings were just sad. For the price, it just isnt with it. Curious if Halwanis got sold to a new owner. I ordered from the Sawmill location. read more

The pizza here is amazing it'll knock your socks off, Deal is amazing and has an engaging personality, I come in here to deliver ror Grub hub here and tge great service made me come in here to try the food and it blows The competition in a dust try the bacon chicken ranch pizza. They also have really good pepperoni, Not the biggest place, And maybe challenging to park if you want to dine in But the food is tremendous, It will be good if the TV worked but it does not. according Other than that a great experience.

Well they got me again with the "bait and switch routine".The first time was posting prices on their outside menu than charging more once inside. But I thought that I would give them the benefit of the doubt and go for lunch. I checked the outside menu and saw the lunch special..But when I went to enter the door was locked and the sign said they open at 5pm. They got me again How can you have a lunch special if you don't open until 5? Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me. What a joke this place is . read more

We were looking for a late night bite and came across this unassuming pizza place. So glad we did! The chef was friendly and helpful. He went out of his way to recommend a pizza we may not have tried otherwise- the tandoori chicken. He made it half with no chicken to accommodate the vegetarians in the group. It was delicious and not greasy. I highly recommend this gem of a restaurant. read more

Very upset about this place. Never heard of it before tonight even though I live 3 miles away. Went bc I saw they were open till 5am and I got off work late at 4am. Ordered a small bbq chkn pizza and not only is there barely any bbq sauce, they forgot my garlic sauce on the side. There is also soggy basil leaves underneath the cheese? More green leaf than sauce under the cheese... Who does this to a pizza? Absolute waste of $20. First and last time here for sure read more

We wanted to give this place and their unique tandoori chicken pizza a try a couple weeks ago. It was a Friday and put our order in around 6 and were told 15 minutes. We waited a bit and headed over and realized that several people were ahead of us waiting for their orders, too. There was only one woman working alone... doing it all. She told my husband that it would be 15 more minutes so he waited in the car. 15 minutes later turned into 30 more and it was an hour before we got our one medium pizza and salad. The problem was that she kept taking phone and online orders: half of the people waiting were order delivery drivers (who would be blamed for very cold, very late pizza). She told everyone on the phone 15 minutes. But told a customer she was 50 (or perhaps 15??) orders behind. Either way, that's not honest and no pizza is worth waiting more than an hour if I didn't expect it. We felt really badly she was alone and also understand that happens now more than ever. But please stop taking orders and get caught up and don't tell people 15 minutes when you mean an hour or more. Now. The pizza. Chicken tandoori is not a bad pizza! It's different and doesn't do much to satisfy a pizza craving but the flavors were nice and not too spicy at all (and we love spicy). The chicken was lovely and not dry at all. The crust was pretty boring and could use a bit of flavor or even cornmeal for texture. Pleasantly surprised at how much we enjoyed it though and might try it again -- but not on a Friday at dinner time. read more

I ordered a small Stromboli and a cheesy bread. I only got the Stromboli, and when I called they said I could come and get a cheesy bread the next day?! Then the Stromboli was doughy and had maybe 10 pieces of pepperoni in the entire thing. Gross and never again! read more

Taco pizza from Halwani's in Hilliard. Not bad. Good enough that I'd go back to try other pizzas/menu items. Hand tossed crust, mildly spicy. Supposed to come with lettuce on the side, but didn't. This & 2) cans of pop were $30. read more

Halwani's Pizza & Stromboli - Large Taco Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Nice little pizza shop in Grandview. Always drive by but never got it before. This will definitely be changing, this is a unique pizza shop with great food. The BBQ Chicken Pizza was absolutely amazing. (Must try) The Original Stromboli was good but could use more flavor, and it was pretty doughy. Lots of cheese, lots of pepperoni. So good Only reason review isn't a 5 is because I wasn't too blown away by the Stromboli.(Still good though!) read more

Ordered three large pepperoni pizzas but instead got three strombolis which were all three burnt dry no taste no flavor will definitely not be ordering again! read more

Placed an online order which said that it would be ready in 20 minutes. I arrived 10 minutes late and they had not begun to make the pizza yet. When the pizza was ready, I discovered after I got home that it was soggy and pretty flavorless. While I was waiting, I observed the table next to me get served and they had to ask for plates twice, they were the only people in the restaurant. Overall, I'm really just disappointed. read more

I don't normally leave reviews but. Oh My God. I went in late after working 6 hours in the cold and was warmly greeted by the man behind the counter who asked me about my day. Already I am hooked, and I order a chicken bacon ranch pizza. As I'm waiting for my food, I hear people come in and out and each one the man behind the counter has something to say to everyone and has a conversation with all of his customers. He was genuinely so pleasant I'd go back just to talk to him. He brings the food out and I proceed to eat the best pizza I've had in months. It was sooooooo unbelievably good. I will for sure be going back, as the menu has scrumptious looking international inspired pizzas. One customer described the chicken tandoori pizza as life changing, and after the pie I had, I can only imagine. 10000/10. read more

Fantastic flavors! A bit skeptical at first because I was pretty sure I was the only order on a Saturday night, I didn't know what to expect. The space is small, and not open for indoor dining yet. I got the Italian Stromboli and chicken wings. The Stromboli crust and sauce had a lot of flavor. I would go back for a weekend pizza craving. read more

Went there after about 5 years. Had pizza with veggies. It was ok but not the same as I remember. Crust was dry and cheese didn't have much flavor. Overall an average pizza. read more

GREAT!!! love the place the hospitality is unmatched!!! feels just like back home. Came in for a late night slice walked out with a food coma. read more

First time trying, just went with a medium pepperoni pizza and 12 hot wings. The crust of the pizza is doughy but good. Pepperoni has a good flavor in terms of savoriness and is cooked to the point that the edges of the pepperoni become darkened and give a pleasant crunch. I'm definitely interested now in trying some of their specialty pies. Wings are baked and very good as well. They're on the smaller side for people who care about that, but this probably means less steroids in the chicken so up to you. Got the hot version but not very spicy in my opinion. Despite being baked, they're very tender and not dry. Overall, great spot and will be returning. read more

Before we moved away from the Grandview area we wanted to make sure that we tried Halwani Cuisine. We have heard so many people rave about their pizza. The major things to note are Halwani is kind of hidden off of Grandview Avenue, almost behind the Big Lots, blink and you could easily miss it. Next, the hours are a little different than your typical restaurant. They are open Tuesday through Saturday, but they do not open until 5pm (later than normal), but they stay open until 3:30am, so if you are looking for a late night bite after a night out....Halwani's is your place. They also deliver, in case you can't drive late at night, they will bring you your pizza. Now, if you have ever heard of Halwani Cuisine, than I am certain you have heard someone recommend their Tandoori Chicken pizza. It has Indian hot sauce, marinated grilled chicken, Indian Tandoori spices, and jalapenos on it. This particular pizza has to be one of their best sellers. So of course, I had to order it. I was a little concerned that it may be too hot for me, but when in Rome. We choose take out. When we got our pizzas home they were still warm. I took one bite into my Tandoori Chicken Pizza and I knew my mouth was in for a party. So many flavors happening all at once. Overall I really enjoyed the first piece, but over time the pizza just got too hot for me. Maybe if I had just gotten it without the jalapenos I could have made it deeper into my dinner. I really did like the flavor, I just couldn't take it after a while. I ended up being hungry but unable to finish my pieces of pizza. Maybe I'm a wimp. We also ordered the cheezy garlic bread, and if I were you, I would skip ordering that. Or if Halwani reads this, they will realize there is huge room for improvement since their pizzas are sooo good, so maybe they will improve the garlic bread? Overall I would say that Halwani is the perfect late night pizza place. And if you live in Grandview and you had not had their pizza yet, you must remedy that sooner than later. read more

Honestly can't believe I haven't tried this place till now, it's sooo good! definitely love a good pie and this place delivers. They have beef pepperoni which makes it even more appealing especially for those who don't eat pork! They make the food fast and it's super tasty. Had a good amount of pepperoni and cheese, was filling! Will definitely be ordering again from them! read more

Got Halwani pizza delivered because it was one of the few options available for late night delivery (I used a delivery app). Wasn't sure what to expect, but it was GOOD. Nice and cheesy, flavorful sauce, and big, fresh dollops of ricotta on top (I added the ricotta). Will definitely be ordering again. Oh, and the pizza came out nice and fast despite using a third-party delivery site. All wins! read more

Don't bother ordering delivery from here, they'll waste over an hour of your time then cancel your order. Go ANYWHERE else. 0/5 stars.

Placed an order in person for a supreme pizza, cheezy garlic bread, and French fries (classic late night cravings). It's great this place is open late, and the food was ready within 15-20 minutes after ordering. The cheezy garlic bread was standard and the fries were greasy and had a nice seasoning on them. The pizza, though, didn't have much flavor. The crust seemed doughy and undercooked. The supreme pizza isn't something I'd seek out again. But if I'm in the area again and it's late, I'd be curious to try the tandoori chicken pizza. read more

Halwani's Pizza & Stromboli - Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

This is an odd place in many ways. It sits off to the side of a strip mall on Grandview Ave. adjacent to some upscale places. With a name like Halwani Cuisine, you might expect some type of high-end ethnic place, but no. It is just a small pizza joint putting out some delicious pies in odd flavor combinations and serving up Mediterranean-style deserts (baklava, etc.). They have a small, 4-5 table dining room that we took advantage of for our visit. It was quiet and very pleasant, but I suspect the majority of their business is takeout or delivery. I'm not sure they have their own delivery service, but there were a lot of third-party drivers (grubhub, etc.) that came and went during our stay. We choose the Tandoori Chicken pizza and it was as delicious as it was unexpected. The star is the tandoori chicken (which is exactly what you would expect to get at an Indian buffet), but it comes with a spicy sauce and is topped with pickled jalapenos that added a very pleasant amount of heat. If you don't like heat, you might still want to give it a try. My wife and I are relative lightweights when it comes to heat and we tore through almost the entire pie. There was a bit of fight over the one piece that was leftover when we went to eat dinner the next day. The prices are a bit steep ($20+ for our specialty pizza) compared to what you might get at a chain, but I would say we got our money's worth. We don't live in the area, but we are definitely going to look for an excuse to come back again. read more

Had been wanting to try this place for awhile, decided to get some carry out one Saturday night. Ordered a medium classic pizza and a small Chicken bacon ranch pizza and side of fries. I went to pick it up and no one was in the restaurant except for 2 gentleman I'd expect to be the owners at a table in the corner who didn't even look up when I walked in. Overall disappointed by the food, fries were still raw, one of the pizzas wasn't cooked through, the smaller one was cooked but didn't have any taste, not going back anytime soon. read more

So... something strange... Door Dash offers a company called 'Piazza pizza & Stromboli', but when I received my order, it came with a menu from Halwani's. Is Halwani's operating under two names under door-dash? Maybe it was an older company? *shrugs* I don't know... sounds a bit shady to me. Outside of that weirdness-- and if it truly was Halwani's product, I was a little disappointed with what I was provided. The stromboli ordered was extremely greasy, and the quality of the ingredients was just not there. The other items we ordered were not made in house, and mass bought in, which was also disappointing! I'd definitely love to give them a try in the future, as the Tandoori chicken pizza sounds incredibly interesting, but what I did have did not meet up to my expectations for this time, at least. read more

Terrible. Ordered two pizzas, ETA was about an 45 min to an hour. 90 minutes later I call to find out what's going on and get an update. The pizza is "just coming out". The pizza arrives about two hours after I order it. The pizza itself must be made with frozen cardboard. No sauce, tasteless. Between the quality of the pizza and service I would never order pizza again after this past experience. read more

Not a fan. Used Amazon delivery, was delivered before the stated time, eveything was there and warm. Ordered one pepperoni stromboli and one veggie stromboli. Both were lacking in flavor. The veggie one was sooooo watery. The pepperoni one was supposed to be double pepperoni and it was mostly bread :( Needed more spices, more cheese and the sauce could be kicked up a notch in the spice department as well. Will not be going back. Maybe their pizzas are good.... read more

This hidden gem is hands down the best pizza in Grandview! The owner/operator of this local establishment embodies that friendly neighborhood feel that is lacking in most of the pizza joints around these days. He greets his customers by name and is always happy to make suggestions if you're not sure what pizza to try that day. Did I mention the pizza?! It's incredible! Fresh, local ingredients, hand tossed dough, and unique specialty pizzas representing cultures from around the world like the Tandoori chicken pizza, Greek pizza, Napoletana, to your standard pepperoni and cheese. All of these are the ingredients that make Halwani Cuisine a must visit for all pizza lovers in the Columbus area! read more

Ordered several times. The pizza crust is a little too cardboardish for my liking, but it's one of the only places that'll deliver after 11pm. Solid pick when you're hungry and need something to eat, but wouldn't go out of my way to get this pizza if there were other open options. read more
