    Buffet Chicken Tandoori (top) and Chili Chicken (bottom)
    Peter M.

    Even though Simi Valley has not more than a handful of Indian restaurants, there are representatives in this class that deserve a visit. One of these eateries is Indian Haweli, on Los Angeles Avenue. It maybe the only Indian cuisine location that has a lunch buffet ($14.99) in Simi. The dining area is small, but well appointed, with simple decor. There was one staff member that was maintaining the area and keeping the food well stocked. That should not be a deterrent. Service was friendly, informative and professional. If anything, some of the lunch buffet items were drying out. So additional assembly of these dishes with more liquid and/or keeping them covered could change the landscape and optics. See my pictures for the offerings. What stood out for me was the two appetizers (Aloo Tikki and Samosas), the latter having a different flavor. There are several selections of chicken and vegetables. Accompaniments are Naan, Rice, Salad, Raita, Chutneys (both Mint and tamarind), pappar and Indian desserts (that include Gulab Jamoo). Wine and beer is also available.

    My first time eating Indian food, everything was flavorful. We had the rice with raisins & nuts, (I'm so sorry I didn't remember the name) garlic naan, chicken tikka masala and butter chicken. Garlic naan is freshly made and it's so delicious! The portion sizes were good too.

    Came today with a friend for lunch right when they opened. There was already a few people there eating. I like to come on Tues and Sunday's because they have curried goat. My favorite! They also had a great eggplant dish. I can never eat more than one plate, but service is always great. Was a nice 1.5 hour lunch to catch up with my friend. Love that it's so close to home too.

    My Dad and I wanted to grab lunch yesterday and he recommended we stop by Indian Haweli for their lunch buffet and I was so impressed. I have never had a samosa be that good. The food was so amazing and such a reasonable price. Usman was our server and he was so sweet and accommodating. I'm jealous of my Dad that he gets to come here regularly because he is in the area but I will be back when I visit Simi!

    First of all, this was a takeout order but my limited interaction with the staff was great. From ordering on the phone to picking up, it was a pleasant experience talking to them. This is just my opinion, but for the price, I was hoping for larger portions, especially for the vegetarian dishes. And the basmati rice is described on the menu I saw as having cumin seeds for fragrance and seasoning. Mine was just pure rice, no seasoning. Disappointing when you enjoy cumin. And most painfully, I found some sort of metal shaving in my lamb korma. Here's a photo on the lamb korma lid. Not a deal breaker but will definitely engender second thoughts about going back.

    I love this place. But more I love their spinach chaat…read more Growing up in Bombay, street food is a part of my heritage and is my soul food. One bite of this and I'm transported back to my childhood. The spinach pakoras (fritters) make an incredible base for the multi-seasoned, multi-textured, complexity of this dish. Crispy spinach pakoras, topped cubed potatoes and garbanzo beans, with cool yogurt, seasoned with the quintessential spicy green mint/cilantro chutney and tangy and sweet tamarind chutney and sprinkled with seasonings-- including the tartly delicious chaat masala...yum. Every bite. Every spoonful. Perfect. 5/5 Coconut chicken curry -- creamy, healthy chunks of chicken and a perfect morsel with delicious chewy, soft naan. I asked for medium spice -- next time I'll go max spice. 4/5 Masala chai-- delicious - but missed the mark somehow. Maybe because my homemade chai is so good. Although it is offered free -- so can't complain too much. 3/5 Stuffed parathas. These were well filled and not skimpy on the filling and perfectly cooked. Each morsel taken was a memory of my motherland. I've had biryani, lamb and goat curry and gobi Manchurian here on different trips -- all absolutely delicious.

    Pretty good Indian food but expect lots of butter/ghee in the food!!…read more My friend and I dropped by for dinner Saturday evening around 7:30 pm. To our surprise, there was just one other group there even though it should've been peak dining hours. Because of this, we didn't have high expectations for the food, but surprisingly it turned out okay. The space is nice and big with both table and booth seating. It looked like there was a private room for events off to one side as well. Since it's a chaat place, we got some chaat as well as a curry. We shared the following: Pav bhaji ($10.99) Paneer kathi roll ($10.99) Chicken tikka masala ($17.99) Plain roti and naan ($2.99 + $3.49) Out of everything, the pav bhaji was our favorite. The bhaji was drier than usual (usually it's a bit more liquid), but the flavor was good. There was also a strong taste of butter/ghee, more than what I'm used to, so it's definitely a very rich dish here, especially with the extra chunk of butter they serve on top. Too bad they only serve two pav by default, as at least 3, maybe 4, would've been good to go with the amount of bhaji provided. I only took a bite of the kathi roll, but it was a bit too sweet for me personally. However, my friend liked it and said that the paneer tasted very fresh and soft. The chicken tikka masala was pretty standard. Nothing to write home about. We were pleasantly surprised by the flavors here. It's not super close to where we live but we might come back to try some of the other chaat!

    The "Taste of Punjab", in Moorpark, was an over 20-mile one way trip for me from the SFV. If you…read morelike North Indian food, it is my opinion that the state of Punjab in India (and I have spent time there), provides food preparations that are a notch above the rest of its Indian state counterparts (e.g. Uttarkhand, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh). So I called the restaurant to fine tune. Their lunch buffet was only on Fridays. The spread would only contain 3 meat selections, all of them chicken (really, no variety?) and only 3 vegetable choices (really, is that all?) Then an appetizer, salad components and condiments. There would be rice and Naan too. A meager set of choices for a $15.99 buffet? Yet, the restaurant was enticing. Hence the pull, to taste their version, of Punjabi food. That sealed the deal for me and I was on my way to pay a visit, and eat. As expected, the choices were limited. There was chicken tikka, chicken tandoori and chicken curry. For vegetables, aloo bhegan (potatoes and eggplant), peas paneer (peas with sautéed Indian cheese cubes) and dahl (lentil curry). The Naan was not brought fresh table-side, but delivered to the hot case. Still, it was soft and wonderful, actually well executed, had good chew, cut into medium sized pieces. Rice came out in small portions in a bowl and was not dry (unlike other buffets). For appetizers, they had one choice, good sized samosas with a thin wrapping (also unlike other buffets) and a simple ,but very tasty and moist potato filling. They were truly fantastic (I had 4 of them, a first for me!). That too, came out, as needed. Like it should be. For me, this is also a sign of thoughtful food management, to provide just prepared items, to enhance freshness, cut down on wastage. On the condiment side though, there were disappointments. The tamarind chutney was watery and their mint chutney thick, and from a bottle. Not fresh. Raita was creamy, with body and wholesome. What was striking at the Taste of Punjab, was the unmistakable high quality and culinary prowess of the chef(s). Every dish oozed with freshness, aroma, rich flavor and an intoxicating blend of well married spices and taste. The three chicken dishes were tender, with soft meat having a perfect texture to satisfy. Overall, every selection on the buffet was unique because, it felt and tasted so different. High class, is the best way to describe it. I was really amazed and blown away. Was also pleased, that my relentless hunger, curiosity and the lengthy drive here to Moorpark, had borne sweet fruit. It was a reward. Definitely, a Punjabi lunch buffet to remember, for a very long time.

The vegan options were plentiful -- and more importantly, they were exceptional. The flavors were bold and intentional, layered in a way that reminds you why you fell in love with Indian cuisine in the first place. I say this with fresh context: we've recently tried a couple of other Indian restaurants in the area, hoping to find something worth revisiting. One served a Dal so overspiced it was nearly inedible. Another offered a Tikka Masala so bland it barely registered. Neither experience was terrible -- but both served as a reminder of just how high Karma's bar actually is. In all my years coming here, I have never once been disappointed. Not once. The kitchen cooks with something that's hard to put into words -- a care and intentionality that comes through in every dish. You taste it. My 2014 review said the food was prepared with good heart and spirit, and that remains as true today as it was then.

The inside is spacious, with simple elegant tables, each having their own menu. All restaurants should do so. One wall depicts the history and expansion of this brand. I stopped by for a snack and chose the Dahi Puri. Essentially, small crispy hollow shells (wheat or semolina) which are filled with a custom mix of potatoes, onions, chutneys (red and green) and yoghurt. What was unique here was, that there were shreds of beetroot on top and one pomegranate seed in the middle of each puri (you get 6 of them for $9.99). As such, a bite gives you a burst of flavors, both spicy and sweet, a cool degree of wetness, then crispness from the outer shell, and a blend of inner softness and medium textures from the ingredients. Overall, this menu item is my favorite snack at any Indian restaurant. But Bikanervala took it to another level. Easily, the best Dahi Puri I have had so far, both in color, presentation, taste and satisfaction. Wow.
