"I have been eating at Haandi for many years and have taken lots of friends there, who have all enjoyed the experience. Unlike so many neighbourhood South Asian restaurants in London, Haandi has excellent chefs who use tender cuts of lamb and chicken, understand spicing and produce tasty vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. The standard of cooking is consistent. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The service is good. The dining area is mirrored making it seem bigger than it really is. It is not too noisy for pleasant conversation. The chefs in the kitchen are visible through a glass screen. Try in particular the lamb biryani, the okra (crunchy, not gummy and overcooked) and the black dal (quite a bit of chili heat and fragrant with cinnamon)."
