Royal Havali is closed. Doesn't matter how you or I feel about it. We were there from the week it opened and watched the service decline.

If you're in Belleville and like Indian cuisine, this is the place to go! Great food and service. The owner/host was very friendly; went out of his way to ensure we felt welcome and at home, made sure we were happy with our food and overall experience. We asked the owner to make sure the lamb vindaloo was hot and he was more than happy to accommodate us. Atmosphere of the restaurant was also very good. Order the onion bhaji appetizer, it was excellent! read more

Royal Haveli - Indian Near Me - Belleville, Ontario

Food has never arrived on time even we are the only people waiting, and food is not what we have expected . Need to practice on customer service . Through my view I would rate this restaurant only one star for the food and service we have received read more

My hubby & I ate here last night and really enjoyed it. The food was so delicious! We ordered the vegetarian dishes and the chef came to our table and asked if we would like the dishes to be vegan, which we did, so it was really appreciated. We are not fans of really spicy food so we asked for mild spice and this was also accommodated. Lovely atmosphere and excellent service. It was a bonus that they had Karlo Estates Wine-our favourite winery in the County. read more

Stopped in for dinner. Butter chicken was too sweet for mu taste. Butter nan was good Paneer Pakora was ok. Good size portion However- when pay the bill time came, the young lady kindly insisted I use "tap". I don't have "tap"??? What to do. Pay cash - nope don't have cash. She utterly had no answer other than say "we have only tap". Turns out they have swipe, chip and all forms of payment- she just didn't know how to use them??? Then, cant print receipt. Only email. Really? Turns out after a long conversation and her insistence I accept email - you guessed it - they can and do and did print the receipt. Again - she didn't know how??? This after a 20% tip and not a single word of apology for HER mistake !?! Lets hope they train on food safety better than check out.....ill know tonight Ok. So- in all fairness to the staff, and my absolute love of spicy food- I took some colleagues back for dinner a month later and the young lady did a great job, and clearly learned the payment system. Food was great and all enjoyed the nite. Upgraded to 3.5 stars. I need a 3rd datapoint I think... read more

Stopped on my way from Toronto to Ottawa for dinner and found this place through Yelp. It's at a mall and was a bit difficult to find. It's a small nice place with the appealing ambience. The food is very good - especially the biryani, dal and paneer. The quality of rice offered is better than some of the Indian restaurant in Toronto - it's also complimentary if you order a gravy dish. The staff was friendly and nice and the washrooms clean (could have been better). We were looking for some genuine food and it was a nice surprise to find it at this place. Go for it ! read more

See all

My wife and in-laws are Indian, so expectations are extremely high. Royal Haveli is among the best Indian we've ever had. Highly recommended. read more

Royal Haveli is always our go to. With lots of vegetarian and vegan options- it works perfectly for our whole family! The naan is perfect every time and the samosas are so good! We recommend to all our family and friends. Keep it up guys! read more

We ate dinner last night at Royal Haveli and left with full bellies and big smiles! We are big fans of Indian food, but find that we have to travel to larger cities to get the authentic flavors of true Indian food. Not any more... Belleville get ready for some amazing food in your own back yard. We had Chai Masala Tea, Rogan Josh (lamb), Beef Vindaloo, Chicken Korma, Saag (spinach) Paneer, Rice and Naan. Every dish was served in beautiful bowls or funky containers, looked absolutely beautiful and smelled divine. While that is all great, the big test of any restaurant is the flavour of their food- and all I can say is fantastic. I am eating my leftovers as I write this review! Service is excellent; we were seated promptly, the staff is accommodating and so friendly. Extra thanks to our server, he was funny and had great suggestions. The owner came over to see how everything was - his professionalism and personality must trickle down to the rest of the staff because they we all great. The restaurant is kinda tucked away by Bed Bath and Beyond... so when I say "great hidden gem" I mean it. However, this place with it's delicious food and friendly service will not stay hidden long. read more

It was ok. The food was ok. It might have been better if the service at our lunch was better. Walked in to an almost empty place where we inconveniently interrupted the young hostess from her obviously more important text session as we waited a minute for her to finish. Portions were rather small for the prices. Maybe dinner service is better but I won't be back to try it. read more

For context I dined solo on a quiet Thursday early afternoon, and I'm glad I went in. The location is convenient to the shopping district and there is no lack of parking. The façade is understated but the décor is rich and authentic without being flashy. There was Indian music playing while I was there, a mixture of what I take to be more traditional and some newer sounds. The volume was set so you can carry on a conversation, and there is enough dampening material to soak up all the echoes; I never heard any kitchen noise either. The service was the understated sort of excellence I wish I could enjoy everywhere; I had who I assume were the owner and his wife taking care of me and they were present and attentive where it was appropriate and left me in peace otherwise. I had a lamb vindaloo; it was as good as I've had anywhere and came with rice that was equally tempting. The naan and the mango lassi were similarly delicious. This doesn't come for free of course; I paid $30 and change for the experience. The vindaloo was a solid dinner for one or lunch for two though. All in all I only regret not going in sooner! read more

I grew up in Toronto and a custom to good Indian food and this place meets my standard :) The food is very flavourful and the prices are fair. You get the biggest bang for your buck with the lunch specials. The lamb vindaloo and Rogan Josh are fantastic! read more

I love this restaurant. The food is fantastic. I search out Indian restaurants in every city I visit and I have to say this is one of the best. Great menu with all my favorites and the food is made fresh to order and you can tell. The naan was hot and fluffy, the samosas light and flaky and the lamb biryani was not only fabulous the portion was incredibly generous. Do yourself a favour and treat yourself to a meal here I know I'll be coming back every chance I get. read more

Really nice option for authentic Indian Food in Belleville. We've dined in and got take away from Royal Haveli and enjoyed both. Food pricing is consistent with other Indian restaurants in Kingston etc. and the portions are generous. The only thing that bumps this to four stars is the price of a bottle of beer. 8 dollars is a bit steep. read more

Been there couple of times food is great and staff is friendly and as owner too. The presentation of food in a plate with great taste is perfect restaurant to go and eat regularly and this is the place. Will be visiting more often for good Indian food. Hope they increases more variety of food to give me reason to visit more often read more
