Haveli The Yard in Bristol, City of

I booked 9:15 pm slots for Sunday. And my table was booked till 11:15pm. Food was served at 9:52pm. And staffs started telling that 10pm is closing time so please vacant the restaurant by 10pm and once 10 pm was crossed they started yelling by saying that 10pm is the closing time so you should vacant the restaurant as soon as possible.

Service was very prompt and food all came out delicious - even better than we expected. Cocktails were also great and affordable during happy hour! Best place for Indian cuisine in Bristol that we have tried yet. Will come again!

Fantastic food and great service

This was the worst restaurant I visited in the last decade or so. I don't think it deserves a star as well. Quantity was way too little and staff was rude to the level they asked to finish the food in 15 mins. Food was not the level and worth the price. I urge people to consider going to a better place than spending money here.

It was my first time I visited Bristol. And this was the most amazing restaurant experience I ever had. I really enjoyed. The food and service was mind blowing. Thanks

Amazing food, fantastic drinks, very friendly staff, superb environment at very reasonable prices. Highly recommend. Will Defiantly return.

One of the best Indian restaurants I have ever eaten at. Food was a different tier to your usual Indian and whilst this was reflected in the price, it was definitely worth it and the happy hour deal on cocktails was also nice. In particular the mango chutney dip with the popadoms went down very well! In addition to the great food, the staff were very polite, friendly, attentive and helpful in answering a couple questions about some of the dishes on the menu. All in all a wonderful experience and we will definitely return when we next visit Bristol!

Disappointed by their service. I was told they were open from 1pm Monday to Wednesday, so I turned up at 1.15pm on Tuesday 4/3/25, only to find it was closed. There was no notification of this on their website. Such unreliable service is very disappointing.

Qué fabuloso hallazgo, tuvimos uno de los mejores currys de la historia en Halevi. Kundan que nos administró y nos atendió muy bien. Hermoso restaurante, comida encantadora y gran ambiente. Sin duda volveré y lo recomiendo a todos.

Lovely meal. Fair pricing not overpriced like a lot of ‘fine dining’ Indian restaurants

Haveli for food is heaven the service is excellent lovely admosphere the owner is always welcome in the food was very warm and lovely taste i will definally come back thanks

Amazing atmosphere, great and speedy service as well as lovely food! Had been looking forward to having a good Indian all week and this place certainly delivered! We were surprised about how filling the portions were too, had enough spare to take home with us. Service was attentive, respectful and fast and the food was well worth the money, especially compared to many other Indian restaurants. Will be coming back!

Absolutely fantastic menue, staff were so attentive and polite without being imposing. Really exceptionally nice dining experience for not cliffton prices. Really good vegan menu too!

First time here and will definitely be back! Food was delicious, cocktails delicious and service was outstanding. Amir made us feel so welcome!

Inicialmente todo se veía bien en este restaurante. El personal era complaciente, el entrante era agradable, pero los platos principales eran decepcionantes. Dos cosas se destacaron. En primer lugar, el pollo utilizado era carne de pierna / muslo, y todavía contenía trozos de cartílago de las articulaciones entre los huesos, que obviamente no era comestible. La carne en sí no era muy agradable. En segundo lugar, el menú hizo una gran cosa acerca de algunos de los platos picantes y calientes - 'no para los débiles de corazón' el menú dijo para las madras que tenía. Bueno, no hacía 'calor' en lo más mínimo, no capté calor en el plato. Me fui decepcionado, no es lo que esperaría de un restaurante.

Best Chinese meal I’ve ever had in a restaurant - our server was top of the range.

Kundan, our server was a gentleman from start to finish. He recommended dishes and saw to every detail. Food was fantastic. Staff extremely friendly. Would recommend 100%

I want to weep tears of joy! Finally! A good place to get a takeaway curry from in Bristol that is clearly good quality ingredients and meat and tastes like it was cooked fresh and not nuked in a microwave. The food from here is AMAZING!

I had an incredibly disappointing experience at Haveli The Yard. I booked through the First Table app, where you’re supposed to get 50% off food. However, the food was underwhelming and nothing special. The service was horrendous. We had to point out which plates were ours, and the staff seemed uninterested and unorganized. As soon as we entered, a couple at the cash desk was complaining about waiting 40 minutes for their drinks, which didn’t give me much hope. The worst part came when the owner approached us before the bill arrived, asking for a good review. Later, when it was time to pay, we realized the food wasn’t discounted at all. The special offer from First Table clearly stated 50% off food (excluding drinks), but the owner started scribbling on our bill with a pen, listing all the exclusions—exclusions that weren’t mentioned anywhere in the First Table terms. He went from a £124 bill to charging us £90, citing his own “special conditions” that weren’t displayed on the app. To top it off, he asked where we were from, clearly assuming we were tourists based on us speaking Italian, perhaps thinking he could squeeze more money out of us. It felt manipulative and unprofessional. I won’t be returning, and I highly advise others to steer clear.

Kunban is the best and so is the food.

The food here is really tasty and the service is great, Sunny was very attentive and friendly!

Food was great and service was great! all in all had a lovely time, and Sunny the waiter was a star.

I ordered papdi chat and i asked for some modifications and that was not at all followed then it was chilli panner which was tasting like only soya sauce has been added and there was no taste and i ordered Pune Handi in which the gravy was so thick that I wasn’t able to even take the gravy instead of paneer very very disappointed with the service neither of the staff was able to understand what I’m trying to say but really I didn’t expected this thing having such good wedding, I don’t know how many people managed to get that rating by having that quality of food if you need you can contact me any time.

Haveli The Yard proved to be an excellent choice for our weekend gathering. As a group friends, we were impressed by the restaurant’s inviting atmosphere, elegant ambiance, and outstanding service, particularly from Mr. Kundan. We began our meal with Punjabi Samosa Chaat, Paapri Chaat, and Gobi 65—all of which were flavorful and well-prepared. For the main course, we enjoyed Paneer Lababdar and Subzi Kadhai, complemented by Chilli Cheese Naans. Additionally, we ordered Dal Makhani, which was exceptionally rich and delicious. We had Mango Milkshake for the drink. Overall, the combination of delectable cuisine, warm ambiance, and excellent service made our dining experience truly memorable.

Really good food , great service from kundan , will definitely comeback.

Amazing food, dishes were 10/10, there's a great of variety and everything we had delivered in spades.

This Indian restaurant is a must-go! We went there because of the good reviews, and it lives up to the expectations! The staff is extremely friendly and the food was perfect. Highly recommended

This place has managed to marry perfectly authentic tastes with the classics we know and love. Would definitely recommend!

Amazing food and the staff was so friendly. Highly recommend it to everyone!

Haveli The Yard is one of Bristol's best Indian restaurants. We held our annual Christmas curry for a table of 14 at Haveli this year and were really impressed. They accommodated our needs at a busy time, service was friendly and diligent and we didn't feel rushed, spending nearly three hours in the restaurant enjoying starters, mains and cocktails. The menu is deep and varied with a good blend of traditional and modern dishes and the vegetarians in our group had plenty of choice. I really enjoyed my starter of samosa chat and the veg balti was deeply flavorful and nicely spiced - the paneer Lababdar also looked excellent. I can also thoroughly recommend finishing off your meal with an Old Fashioned. The restaurant is modern, bright and spacious -ideal for a large group, and the team are friendly and care about the customer experience. Overall, I'd put Haveli up there with my other Bristol favourites - Namak, Dhamaka and Mowgli.

Sick experience nice hospitality food was amazing all for nice prices aswell definitely recommend if your with friends or family

Great restaurant, excellent food, great service.

Spectacular! The food, the service, the hosting it was all fantastic and at good prices aswell.

I’d like to take a moment to personal thank Kundan for an amazing time yesterday. I visited Haveli for a friends birthday dinner and he went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and recommendations to ensure we had an amazing time. I would 100000% visit again. Thank you so much Kundan. Additionally, the service was fast and efficient but without feeling rushed. The food was served hot and delicious

Hermoso lugar y comida. El menú era realmente interesante con un giro personalizado en platos clásicos del sur de Asia. La comida sabía increíble y los cócteles eran de primer nivel como me dicen mis colegas que cené con. El servicio fue muy atento y alegre. Esta es nuestra nueva opción. 10 / 10 recomendaría este restaurante de gestión familiar.

Food and service was amazing, highly recommend! Saag ghosht and onion bhaji / pakora were delicious, a lot of options for mocktails too :)

Really lovely Goan fish curry. Starters were nice. Well presented. Kundan was a great host! X

Nos atendieron por Kundan esta noche - él era muy servicial y muy amable! Teníamos el pescado entero y lo recomendaría encarecidamente!

A lovely evening at Haveli - we had the whole fish and would highly recommend it! Kundan was super helpful and friendly! Thank you

The food was good, but honestly, £122 for three small starters, three mains, and two beers in total seems excessive to me, especially considering the portion sizes, which were very small. This was particularly noticeable with the main courses: there’s a lot of sauce but very little meat. That said, the quality of the food was good, even though, as I mentioned, the portions were not generous. The atmosphere was nice as well.

dads birthday amazing food and staff

Good atmosphere however the food quality was real bad. Ordered a Chicken Tikka which was basically uncooked chicken in cheese pile. The chatt starters were good however the main course was absolute disaster even after specifically talking about it. Also, they declined to grant a 25% off total using Gourmet Membership on total bill which was explicitly stated on the app for the menu. Wouldn't visit the restaurant again. Extremely disappointed

The best Indian I have had in a long time. Highly recommend. I will certainly be returning here. They serve the usual dishes here alongside those you do not usually see. It was nice being able to try something new. The cocktails are also really good. I had the Chaat for starters and Saag Gosht. The lamb in the curry just melted in your mouth and the sauce was very tasty. My friend had lamb chops for starters and a prawn curry. The prawns were really big. I didn't try it but she also enjoyed the meal. The naan breads were really fresh and so was the pickle tray.

We had our Work's Christmas meal at Haveli the Yard. We were a group of 10 people so to make things easier we decided to order the Christmas set menu. The food was delicious, of excellent quality and the portions were very generous! The staff were patient, polite and helpful. It was the best Work's Christmas Do that we have had. I will eat here again and would recommend this restaurant to others.

Great meal, goan fish curry was exceptional

We came all the way from Wales, on our anniversary and did research and we were not disappointed. Special thanks to Kundan for his speedy service and friendly welcome. Food was really good and closer to our taste. Felt food was good after a long time. Thanks. FYI I am very skeptical when it comes to Indian food in UK as most places its just red coloured curry.

I am from China .This is my first time . I had enjoyed food adorable or delicious.Thank you kundan for best service.we will definitely back with my friends.thanks

This is by far the best Indian meal that I've had in years! "The 70's Balti" is excellent in name and taste! A good medium spiced curry. Just enough for a tingle. I don't remember the name of the chaat I had to start but it was crunchy and contained pomegranate. It was amazing!

I recommend the egg plant based curry 🍛 😋

The food was impeccable, the service even more so. When you're blown away by the smell of the bathrooms that's always a great sign! You have to get the samosa chaat, it's one of the best indian dishes I have ever had and makes me ashamed to have ordered all the indian takeaways I have in my life.

Lovely food & staff - highly recommend!

I've booked several work meals with Amir and the team at Haveli The Yard. The team are so friendly and welcoming - they make every visit speedy and always serve brilliant food every single time. I've had many colleagues say how great the experience was. If I'm ever in the area and need to arrange a meal for a group of 5 or 50, Amir and the team are always my first port of call.

Lovely service. Great chap who went away and got us the means of making the chaat so lovely and crunchy. Do have the first chaat as a starter, just lovely. Curry was excellent too but the highlight for me, simple but true, was the gorgeous aromatic saffron rice. Beats pilau into a cocked hat. Beer was good too.

Popped in after a BRI hospital visit. Lovely menu, excellent friendly and informative service. The food was delicious. We asked about the recipe for the Chaat (amazing and so tasty) and got plenty of detail. Would go back.

we ordered the dadi jaan ki handi (13.95£) and the butter chicken (14.95£) and both were delicious! perfect with the garlic naan and would recommend sharing both. the calamari and tandoori wings were tasty too; but very small in portion. kundan was very friendly

Easily one of the best Indian restaurants in town! The staff are genuinely exceptional, going above and beyond to help you select the perfect dish tailored to your taste. Even during busy periods, the service is impressively swift, with food arriving promptly and piping hot. The flavors are outstanding across the board, from the starters to the mains—though the nihaari deserves a special mention for its rich, authentic taste. Whether you’re a seasoned fan of Indian cuisine or trying it for the first time, this place is a must-visit for a memorable dining experience.

Kundan was our servant! Very friendly :))

Great Restaurant! Kundan was excellent waiter!

Delicious!!! The naan was super soft, the curries tasted really good too! I would highly recommend the lamb curry and butter chicken

Very delicious food. A wide choice too. The service was attentive & friendly without being obsessive. The Chai White Russians were exceptional. I can't recommend this lovely restaurant highly enough.

Great well maintained restaurant, food was outstanding and all prepared fresh. The owner even came to have a chat with us while the restaurant was full. Thank you for the experience Haveli The Yard

Wow! This Indian Restaurant is probably the best I’ve ever been to. The food was just magnificent and the service was exceptional!

I ordered haveli the yard after seeing it on social media and wanting to go for a while but I have mixed reviews on the food that I received. I had ordered lamb biryani, chicken jalfrezi, white rice, garlic naan and lamb chops which came as a really good deal altogether for a total of £15 exc the biryani dish. The jalfrezi that I’ve had from other Indian restaurants are never spicy enough for me even if I’d ask for it to be hotter but this one has spice to it, which was really nice. The white rice that came with the dish was nothing special just simple white rice and the naan bread was nice and flavoursome with garlic. The lamb chops, although flavoursome were quite oily as the chops came in the container laying in more oil left in there. Not to mention, some were slight overcooked. Lastly, the lamb biryani, again, although flavoursome had a mushy texture which isn’t normal with biryani or any rice dish. All in all, I think I would give it another go and visit inside the actual restaurant but I’d definitely order different things.

Possible the best Indian I have ever had. The place and staff were amazing, but the food was out of this world. The most succulent chicken I have eaten. Just amazing.

Too expensive dishes, and charged extra at the end without letting us know.

Great atmosphere and staff. I would recommend the 70s balti and the bhaji starter. Can't speak highly enough of the staff and food. 10/10 always

Food was great (especially the naan and lamb Bihari) and the cocktails were superb - a bit on the pricey side, but if you can afford it, it’s well worth a try.

Beautifully done up and great service. Very tasty food, balti and biryhani were amazing

These food are very delicious! Kundan is fabulous.He is hosting a great.Thanks for looking after me and friends.

Beautiful interior, really good food including the presentation for our starters, great service, no idea why it wasn't overly busy on Friday evening. Definitely deserves go be one of the more recommended Indians in bristol, my fiance and I will definitely be returning!

me and my best friend stumbled apon this restaurant by chance and it did not disappoint, kundan and sunny served us to the best of their ability - we will be back!

I went here with my lovely girlfriend and we had a great dinner and service was super nice they were really lovely as the waiters were very friendly.

Third visit, once again greeted by an excellent & friendly service accommodating to allergies & dietary requirements, food was delicious, atmosphere was just right and right in the heart of Bristol not too far from any nightlife. Will be revisiting again very soon

Great food, great service and nice venue. Booked through First Table and highly recommend giving a go for some great Indian food!

Amazing location and amazing food staff were lovely and had enough food to take home!! Special shoutout to kundan he was sound!!

lush food in a gentle, relaxed atmosphere. came here on a sunday night with my wife and really enjoyed the place. good portion sizes too

I usually dont like this type of food (or write reviews 😂🤭) but WOW i am converted!! Went for my partners bday meal this evening with the family and had the lamb shank… and some garlic chilli naan… well… im blown away!! The staff are really friendly helpful and welcoming. My autistic son who usually struggles when out clearly felt at ease in the calm relaxing environment and enjoyed his evening too. The environment, the staff, and the food were all FABULOUS!!! All family left really HAPPY with our meal and our evening and ALL said we would deffo return!! Massive thumbs up to staff and the chef!! 😘🫶👌 (we will be visiting again soon!!) xx

Thanks Kundan and the team! the food was delicious and the service was fantastic!

Generous portions, fantastic flavour and attentive staff! Kundan is a legend ❤️

Lush experience, kundan was perfect such good host - perfect host and food was incredible

The best dips, the best hips any poppadoms will give you

Visited Bristol on a business trip and was looking for a dinner venue. After looking online, we decided to book here as the reviews were good. I’m so glad we did, the food was absolutely gorgeous, honestly the best Indian I've had in while. The cocktails were also very good but most of all, the staff were so welcoming. They weee not only attentive and helpful (recommended dishes), but really they also took time to talk to us and engage. To top the evening off, we had a specially made shot created for us! We will definitely be back! Thank you Amir and to all of your staff ☺️

Amazing curry, really good quality, full of flavour. Best one in Bristol so far by a long way. Great job

Amazed with service, poeple were warm-hearted. Foods are just mouth watering. With the kind of service and foods. Prices of food are worth it. And above bartender were just so connected with us. Can’t forget the complementary rainbow shot. Thank you team, Looking forward to see you again guys Highly recommended

The decorations were really good, the ladies bathroom lacks maintenance inside the stalls, we waited for the food for one hour and a half, the taste wasn't that good, besides the bread and the chicken on it, and the waiter was kinda pushy.

Lovely food and cocktails. Very friendly staff especially kundan :)

Delicious. Beautifully presented. Enjoyed the mocktails too. Very good service. Talked us through menu. Look forward to going back.

Amazing place! Great food. Would definitely come back.

Tiny portions - 2 small prawns as a starter of Gunpowder Prawns they still had the tails on to make them look bigger. They lay the table with bottled water to avoid you asking for a jug of water and, of course this bumps up the bill, We were a party of 6 and asked for a rice and naan between 2 but they bought 4 of each - again another way of bumping up the bill. Mo one had more tan one small beer and 2 people were drinking only water and the bill for 2 courses was £45 each for 2 small prawns and very average Indian food.

The food is topnotch. So different to the regular Indian restaurants. Amazing flavours. The staff were really attentive and appreciated our custom. We're from Swindon but we'll be back.

Beautiful restaurant, food was so delicious and the servers were both very generous and kind. Will certainly come back :)

The food is topnotch, different to the regular Indian restaurants! Amazing flavours. The staff were really attentive and appreciated our custom.

Amazing food. Beautiful starters and really good portions! Lovely staff and a brilliant restaurant environment. Really enjoyed our time here for a date night dinner !

Me and my boyfriend came here today for our anniversary and the food was amazing. The service was also incredible, especially from Amir who was always there when needed and made us feel very welcomed and looked after. I definitely recommend coming here, as i will be again.

Amazing food, great service, and really tasty cocktails. Good veggie options, definitely the best paneer I've had in the UK. Nice atmosphere too. 10/10

its too good nd honorable palace

Great food and Ahmed provided a great service. Authentic taste!

Had dinner here yesterday evening with my partner. Lovely and clean space atmosphere was lovely. Food was 10/10 would definitely recommend. Service was outstanding will definitely be returning soon. Lovely decor too!!

Food was absolutely delicious (although a tad on the small side for a serving). The service was wonderful and the staff were all very friendly. Definitely recommend!
