    The staff are very friendly and helpful. The room we were in was spotless and spacious good AC and ceiling fan, decor was classical same as the hotel. Which has undergone major transformation. Food very good however they served our soup and main course at the same time, so had to have the main dish taken back and kept hot till we were ready for it. All in all the hotel is well fit for purpose but it's location is a bit off-putting. We also found the drinks prices were a lot higher than we had expected but again all hotels will be in a similar situation. External noise was also louder than we would have chosen, no soundproofing. Room furniture was classical and very nice and comfortable. Streets to hotel are quite narrow so a short walk is required, staff kindly come and take your luggage to and from the hotel and deliver to your room. Steps into hotel are steep with no wheelchair access.

    Best place in Delhi. Would like to give more stars. No other hotel can match the charm of Haveli Dharampura in Delhi. Architecture, Food, ambience, in-house experiences & the Staff makes it a very memorable stay.

    So, this was my second visit to Dharampura haveli. The first time it was before covid, and this time last week. First time, was an amazing experience, the food was great, the ambience was great, we had visited on a weekend and saw a dance performance. And because of that I planned a dinner with my entire family, we were 6 and 3 kids. Out of which 2 were infants. So, I made an advanced booking for 6th September, 3 days prior; I was told that I am booked in the dinner hall. So we accomplished the uphill task of reaching Haveli, amidst bad traffic jam and extorting rikshaw and auto walas... and to our surprise, there was a private event and we were seated in the open area in front of a huge table fan. Which was so loud that we couldn't hear each other. After a few minutes, the infants started creating ruckus because it was hot and humid... even we were using the tissue papers to wipe our sweat. And Haveli was kind enough to designate 1 server/waiter to us. So you can imagine the misery of the poor guy who had to take orders, serve, run around and provide a table of 6 adults and 3 children. I would give the boy a 5 star for being so persistent. I was very disappointed, because I had told my parents that the interiors were great, you can take pictures inside, they have kind of maintained the old structure, there is a little mughal painting room with a chair... but... all of that was inaccessible because of the private party going on. The AC sitting area and everything in it was off limits to us. And also the waiters, because all of them were busy serving them. Then I hoped to see at least a dance performance, which to our disappointment was only a weekend thing. Since we reached around 9, (thanks to the jam and no parking place in chandni chowk), we were hurried to eat and order as soon as possible because the kitchen will close at 10:30. And only because of that when we went to the terrace, the waiter came and informed us that starters has been kept on the table, so we should go and eat quickly. So with irritated kids, heat, humidity, hot food, loud fan, cheering noises of the private party, a pesky waiter, no dance performance, no proper terrace viewing and inaccessible dining hall, we ended up paying 22k. So, before you go to Haveli 1) confirm if they have a private event, if they do, DON'T GO. 2) take a booking only in AC hall 3) visit during 7-8 pm to have a peaceful eating experience (like I had last time) 4) confirm when they will have a dance performance. I was highly disappointed in this visit... I hoped that they would have told me about a private event, and even if their private event was planned after my booking, they should have reserved my table matter what. No body likes to pay a bomb and sit in heat and humidity, with a "kharrata" fan on our heads, so that we can't hear each other. I can't blame the kids for being fussy, because it was getting unbearable for us adults too...

    Haveli Dharampura is easily accessible via metro. The nearest metro stop is Lal Qila/Red Fort. From Lal Qila, a battery operated rickshaw can take you near Haveli Dharampura for ₹10 per person. Post that you will have to walk 2-3 mins to reach the Haveli as it is located in a gali (narrow street) which can only be accessed via foot. We reached Haveli Dharampura at 8:45pm. A Kathak performance was scheduled at 9pm. Thankfully, we got the opportunity to witness that, it was a great experience as the dancer danced on the first floor courtyard and left us enthralled by his amazing footwork and expressions. We got the time to only order starters before the Kathak performance - Tamatar Dhaniya Shorba (Tomato Coriander Soup) which was delivered to us while we enjoyed the Kathak performance. Post having the soup we toured the haveli. The Haveli belonged to the treasurer's of the Mughal empire and it took 7 years to restore it back to its current status. We (me and my friend - total of 2 people) had ordered one plate paneer(cottage cheese) cannelloni with lasooni palak(garlic spinach gravy) the dish sounds like palak paneer but isn't and one plate steamed rice for main course, along with shikanji and chaach for drinks. The main course along with appetizers and drinks was extremely filling in terms of quantity. We really enjoyed the food and the service provided. The paneer cannelloni with lasooni palak melted in our mouth, with the steamed rice and was perfect combination for the rainy weather. Although the Delhi government mandated that restaurants should be shut down by 10 pm due to the pandemic situation, the staff ensured that they did not rush us through the meal and were very polite and helpful in all of their dealings. Jama Masjid and old Delhi view from the rooftop of this restaurant is worth it. Overall it's a 4-star hotel and it cost us ₹2800 including taxes for all the above listed items. I was quite happy with the experience and would recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to get lost in the charm of Purani Dilli and it's havelis.

    If you want to stay in Old Delhi to soak up the atmosphere, this is a good option and an opportunity to experience a restored haveli. We loved our beautiful room and we can’t stop admiring the architecture and appreciate what it takes to preserve this beautiful building. However the upkeep could be difficult. The usual mod cons of power shower and bathroom fixture (requiring updating) need some care and attention. The breakfast spread was delicious but not as expansive as some of the other mainstream hotels in the region. We had dinner twice. The food was fine (not a lot to rave about) but the service is not brilliant. Plates should be cleared at the same time when everyone has finished, not while the other person is still tucking in! It was also quite expensive for what they were, and the drinks more so. Overall, we would stay again for the ambience but would prefer to take an Uber and eat elsewhere.

    Excellent hotel. This hotel has preserved its ethnicity and roots very well. The rooms are lovely and have the luxury feel. The staff are amazing they go above and beyond. The service is excellent. Upon arrival you are very nicely greeted the hospitality is top class here. Food was very good quality and really tasty. There is always someone to greet you and help you. You can do kite flying. Chill on the terrace. During dinner times they have beautiful Indian music or dancing which really to the great ethnic atmosphere to the hotel. Great location in Chandni Chowk, easy to access shops and rickshaws. We are a young couple travelling and I would stay here and again and recommend to my friends and family.

    Along with all the beautiful decor in this Haveli they might as will put up a notice saying we rather cater to White people only. For someone coming from Mumbai walking through the small lanes of Chandani Chowk and suddenly finding luxury in the middle of it was quite a surprise. As amazing as the experience of discovering this place was everything else was quite average. Later we understood why it is the way it. As the Dinning space started to fill up we noticed a large amount of foreigners around us. Midway through our dinner we also realised that the food is made to cater this audience. Cuz sitting in the middle of Purani Delhi and eating a BLAND KEBEB was just not ok. My point is simple I understand that the management of this place is trying to attract a certain audience but please don't do that at the cost of loosing authenticity. Delhi is known for it's bright, bold and CHATAK which resonates in its flavors ; and tourists come all the way from all over to experience that. Please don't mess with that at the cost of trying to look POSH. Overall, as authentic as this Haveli looks THE FOOD IS A WHITE PEOPLE VERSION OF INDIAN FOOD and we hope that changes. Cuz it's about time don't you think?

    It's a beautiful place tucked into the narrow lanes of old Delhi. We planned a dinner here for a special few and the staff was super helpful at every point from choosing the right seating area to picking the right dishes that suited every palate. The food was heavenly. Chicken, mutton and the vegetarian fare were all well cooked, tender, juicy and flavorful. The food was delightful because of the flavors and only mildly spicy. The dining area was classy and comfortable and the guests were in awe of the look and feel. The entire area, especially the terrace was perfect for capturing photos.

    We went to have dinner at this hidden gem of a place and let me just say that it was an amazing experience there. They had a pre set menu - a 7 course meal along with a dance performance scheduled as it was a weekend. For me it has never been the case that I may have enjoyed every course in a meal but at this place, I definitely did. The view that you get from rooftop is so beautiful. I loved it here and one should definitely visit this place for dinner once in their lives.

    This is a hidden gem in old Delhi beautiful haveli they have reconstruct the old haveli into restaurant but place is inside the streets of old Delhi so not very reachable and prices are high too. Old Delhi is famous for food where you get so many options in food in cheaper price so many people will not afford but yes one time visit will surely amaze you.

    I am a bit conflicted about this place. The building itself is absolutely beautiful. The renovation was well carried out. Nevertheless, the rooms are really tiny and face inside the court. Therefore, there isn’t much natural sunlight inside the room unless you open the curtains to everybody walking inside the courtyard. It is definitely quite pricey. It’s really up to someone if he can justifies the price.

    Heritage of Delhi... Loved the place, great service, good level of detailing and good food. The walk thru those narrow lanes gives the vintage feel and once you step inside, the world comes to being quiet. Service - 5/5 cldnt have asked for better, served with a smile and grace and humility Ambience - 4/5 we did pretty good job at restoration and loved the paintings and old pics they had restored. Courtyard chairs could have been on the same lines but nevertheless. Food - 3/5 and don't get me wrong here it was delicious but then I think the food served there is a standard fare at all mughlai restaurants. There wasnt anything that you won't get another good rates restaurant and hence 3/5 ratings here. Special mention to our server Rajan Singh,loved your smile and patience to answer our questions.

    Foreigner’s Experience: On Saturdays and Sundays, they offer Chef’s tasting menus. Traditional dancers also perform these nights. It’s actually an amazing experience. The food is above expectations, the dancers were really gracious. They also allow you to tour the property learning more about a traditional haveli.

    Magical haveli in Downtown Delhi. If you're squeamish about real India you will hate going past poverty, real life and hustle and bustle of this amazing city. It is situated in a narrow alleyway which maybe scary for some tourists. The hotel - Amazing food, gorgeous room and fantastic staff. Only negative is that Delhi was very cold and the restaurant here was very cold and unheated. So you tended to eat and run. Otherwise we would have stayed longer dining and spent more money. But we dashed back to the warmth of our room. But having said that, I would not stay anywhere else when I come back to Delhi.

    Food was good, service was terrible. Scary to walk to, our driver was concerned for us so walked us to the restaurant door (had to walk through a dark alley way). As we walked in they didn’t remember our reservation (was booked months ago and PREPAID) I was upset as it was for a birthday. Nothing special was prepared servers just didn’t care. Venue was beautiful, old but nice view from rooftop. Music was very loud but created nice atmosphere. Not worth the price at all. Generally upset because restaurant has so much potential but was greatly disappointed.

  • 3/5 Ramesh N. 1 year ago on Google
    For such a unique location and pride of place inside historiacl Chandni Chowk with the finest views and atmosphere of Old Delhi it is very slow with F & B service. It requires some improvement. Its is the 3rd time that guests ( resident & dining visitors) have complained about the general pace of starters and main course.

  • 4/5 Harkesh B. 1 year ago on Google
    Stopped her for Beer Break between Chandni Chowk Breakfast and Jama Masjid Lunch. Was perfect for the purpose. Lovely property nestled amongst the hustle and bustle of the Old City. Definitely worth a one night stay for a special experience if you are looking for differeing experiences. Definitely not a run of the mill hotel stay.

    Warmth and Hospitality Personified The staff at Haveli Dharampura truly made my stay exceptional. Their welcoming smiles and genuine care made me feel like a cherished guest. They went above and beyond to accommodate my requests and were always ready with recommendations to make the most of my time in Delhi. From the reception to the dining area, their impeccable service added an extra layer of comfort and joy to my experience.

    Fantastic location in Old Delhi. Everybody; reception, housekeeping, restaurant, they are all very helpfull. Location is in Old Delhi. We loved it. It is a lot of hectic, but if you want to enjoy the live of Old Delhi than this is a option. You open the blinds in the morning and 1mtr from your window your neighbour is doing the laundry at 06.00 am. 😄.

  • 3/5 Aishwarya 8 months ago on Google
    Awesome ambience. With showcase of Indian cultural dance. Interiors decoration amazing.But taste and quality of cuisine both veg n non veg needs improvement. Not worth it. Cost is very expensive so taste should also be atleast better. & Better options can be added instead of wet dal; services are too too too slow. & Please maintain separate washroom for males n females.

    Haveli Dharampura is an enchanting gem in the heart of Delhi. The exquisite architecture and attentive staff made my stay truly memorable. The blend of modern amenities with historic charm creates a unique experience. A hidden oasis worth every star.

    This is the first time I am dropping a review for a place, but this Haveli really deserves all compliments! It has got the most beautiful architecture, efficient staff & housekeeping, tastiest food, and offers the best cultural experiences. If you are in Delhi, you must visit this place!

    We popped in for a drink and to soak up the ambience (yuck! I had promised myself to never use that word in a review). The staff were very welcoming and accommodating. Try it for yourself: you'll like it.

  • 5/5 MANDY M. 7 months ago on Google
    I loved Haveli Dharampura! It's like a historic place but with comfy stuff. The beds were great, and the people were friendly. The restaurant on top had awesome views. Definitely worth it!

  • 5/5 Ashok Kumar T. 1 year ago on Google
    A wonderful experience. It is a dream come true. In the heart of the walled city you get an ambience of a palace with five-star amenities. A great stress buster decor. Authentic traditional Indian cuisine. Indian classical music an icing on the cake. No wonder why the Haveli is the most sought after hub of the foreign missions based in Delhi. Excellent service by humble and efficient staff. A must visit place to get a firsthand feel of the Chandni Chowk and its surroundings.

    Nice place. Great experience. A little overpriced. Dance performance.

  • 1/5 B B. 2 years ago on Google
    I had contacted them through their website and wanted to visit for lunch with my family. The gentleman from their property called me up and said commercial photography isn’t allowed and only I can shoot via my mobile phone. Even after mentioning to them it will be for personal use and not commercial purposes. The person was very cold in his approach and it’s super hilarious and I haven’t faced something like this ever in today’s time. I can understand one may not be allowed to carry a tripod but why not a personal DSLR. I have widely traveled and stayed and used the most famous properties across the globe and never ever encountered something like this. They can even take an undertaking for the same. Being an Indian citizen it’s super humiliating and embarrassing at the same time. I am so glad that I didn’t visit them and waste my time, money and energy.

    I had a wonderful stay. Felt like royalty. The food was amazing. Great view across older part of Delhi. Our taxi could not drive us to the front door because of the tiny street it was on. If you call ahead they will have someone carry your luggage to the Haveli. I fell in love with the old architecture. The different textures and the nooks and crannies. Enjoyed this stay tremendously.

    What a place in the middle of Old Delhi. Solo traveler, received treatment like a king, the staff is amazing and always willing to help.Close to shopping and walking areas to get to know Delhi more. Everything was a beautiful experience, dance show every night , the building just by itself is magic and completely beautiful. Ah, and the food, please try, the chefs are so perfect. I just want to finish with perfect, perfect, perfect !!! Thank you Haveli Dharampura !! Juan

  • 4/5 w m. 1 year ago on Google
    We went there for lunch at the restaurant. The place is great and located in the middle of the market. The price of the food and drinks were naturally more expensive, as it's located within the hotel area. The service was good but a bit slow. I assume they give the guests more time and not to rush them. The public areas were just ok, having said that, I could imagine the rooms on the upper levels would be interesting.

  • 5/5 Rich C. 2 years ago on Google
    Remarkable maintenance and restoration of a beautiful old haveli. They also have a classical dance (Kathak) performance on the weekends which is a must see. It’s a very charming place to stay and you feel transported back to old times. Highly recommend. The only qualm is that the food itself in the restaurant is not that great - just average in my opinion. Everything else (service, ambiance, etc) was wonderful.

  • 5/5 Abhishek R. 2 years ago on Google
    Haveli Dharampura , a UNESCO awarded heritage hotel Heritage of Delhi... Loved the place,the heritage palace has been restored with a lot of taste,This property is a hidden gem. The architecture and the ambience took me back to the mughal era. the location is very convenient this genteel heritage hotel is a 6-minute walk from the bustling Chandni Chowk, shopping area. and near to Jama masjid, Red fort.... Should be on the bucket list of all who want a peep into the history...Absolutely fantastic hotel The staff are so friendly Room so fresh and bright with a FREE-safe. Hotel is so clean and quiet .this is the place to be. It has a really serene vibe.Overall enjoyed our stay and trip. :) Would stay again for sure.

    Thank you to all at Haveli Dharampura. My wife & I had a wonderful stay. All the staff were kind, thoughtful & considerate. They went out of their way to help us. Especially Deep on the first & last night made sure we arrived & departed safely with our luggage. Many thanks!

    A real jewel in Old Delhi and a very charming hotel which is beautifully restored! We spent 3 nights at the Haveli Dharampura. Our Diwan-E-Khas room was perfect as it was spacious, very clean and equipped with everything you need. We experienced kite flying and pigeon flying on the beautiful roof top from where you have a wonderful view to the Jama Masjid, Red Fort and over the roofs of Old Delhi. In the evenings we enjoyed excellent food at the restaurant and a nice performance of Classical Kathak Dance. Staff is very helpful and very friendly.

    Enveloped in Timeless Elegance Haveli Dharampura is a haven of tranquillity amidst the bustling city. The authenticity of the architecture and decor is awe-inspiring. As I wandered through the corridors, I felt a deep connection to Delhi's history. The rooftop view was a highlight, offering a spectacular panorama of the city. The staff's warm welcome and their anecdotes about the haveli's past made my stay truly special.
