Havelly Grill - Mississauga, ON

CLOSED July 2020.  

1510 Drew Rd

Despite the plethora of Indian and related South Asian restaurants in Brampton area , this is first restaurant I've run across that identifies itself as Pakistani. I'm sure I won't be able to identify which food belongs to which nation.

 

The parking lot looks empty and a poorly illuminated lot only helps create the perception that business is wanting. Havelly has a huge seemingly well maintained dining area. I see only two tables occupied. I'm not sure what to make of what I see but nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Lamb Nihari or something like that.


It's supposed to be lamb. The meat is moderately tender and absent even a hint of lamb gaminess. Is it lamb or is this an unscrupulous use of lamb suckering the non-Southeast Asian customer? The golf ball plus sized chunks of meat are hearty and the flavors has semi-permeated the meat. Mild Indian spices with just a hint of heat. The naan is more bready, less crispy than I have come to expect in the Brampton area.

The food is typical on par with the competition, maybe a tad less flavorful.

Food: ★★1/2
Service: ★★
Probability of making an out of the way return: 0%
Probability of returning if in the area: 9%
