    Haandi is touted as being the best Northern Indian cuisine in Nairobi. Too be honest, I don't know enough to comment. However our night was fabulous, the food incredibly fun to explore and the service was efficient yet non-intrusive. Perfectly elegant atmosphere for being in a mall. We (4 friends) ordered lamb, pork, Tandoori Paneer Tika, Aloo Gobi, Vegee Cashew Rolls and had a chuckle at the non-vegetarian chicken plates on offer... good times altogether. We agreed, we'd all go again.

    Haandi offers a refined North Indian and Mughlai dining experience, known for rich flavours, traditional recipes, and a calm, elegant atmosphere. The setting is comfortable and understated, allowing the focus to remain on the food making it a solid choice for family meals, business lunches, or relaxed dinners. The menu features classic Indian favourites such as slow cooked curries, tandoori grills, biryanis, freshly baked naan, and a strong selection of vegetarian dishes. Spices are well balanced rather than overpowering, ingredients taste fresh, and portions are generous. #EatOutApproved!

    Short: Must recommend for authentic Indian food. Details; We had exactly 30 minutes for lunch and the sweet crew brought us 4 dishes, drinks and breads in record time. I am impressed. Record time and absolutely top notch. We ordered butter chicken, chicken curry, chicken tikka masala and mutton roganjosh. The food was absolutely amazing and the breads - butter, plain and garlic naan were very very authentic. For drinks, I tried the honey lemon ginger drink. It was fabulous. Loved it. 5* experience!

    Haandi I visited Nairobi with my family for a two-week holiday from London in late October. My cousin, who is a doctor in Nairobi, recommended that we eat at Haandi’s restaurant in Westlands. Little did I realize what a treat my family and I were in for. As we arrived, the ambience was calm, gentle, and welcoming. Isabell, the waitress, gave us options for several tables without being at all pushy. Before ordering, we were given warm flannels to clean our hands. We placed our order, and the food arrived promptly—warm and incredibly tasty! I know Punjabi food well, as I’m the one who cooks it at home. I have eaten at Indian restaurants in the UK, Vancouver, Dubai, and India. Credit where it’s due: Haandi’s is one of the finest Punjabi/Indian restaurants my family and I have experienced! I cannot overemphasize how flavorful, tasty, and exciting the food was. I have never eaten such wonderful, tasty, and flavorful food—except, of course, my mother’s cooking! We returned on three more occasions just to eat there again. The prices were very reasonable. You will not be disappointed. The owner came over and introduced himself. Issac, the manager, was very personable, polite, and courteous. I was also able to congratulate and express my delight directly to the chef—apologies, I forgot his name. I am so happy that I am planning to revisit Haandi next year, and the manager agreed that I could spend one or two weeks learning the ‘X’ factor in the preparation of their tasty food! I can’t wait!

    I had a fantastic experience at Haandi Restaurant. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting, with a classic touch that reflects the richness of authentic Indian cuisine. The service was attentive and friendly, and the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. The food was absolutely outstanding. Every dish was flavorful, beautifully presented, and cooked to perfection. The butter chicken was rich and creamy, the naan was soft and fresh, and the biryani had just the right amount of spice. You can truly taste the quality of the ingredients and the expertise behind each recipe. Whether you’re a fan of traditional Indian dishes or looking to try something new, Haandi delivers a memorable dining experience. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates authentic flavors and excellent service.
