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).

It's my second visit to the restaurant -this time with a especial guest- and I really enjoyed it, not only for the well prepared food but also due to the kindness of the staff. Thanks!

The food was great, especially the vegetable samosa, chicken tikka masala and garlic naan. The fork 50% off festival was fantastic. I enjoyed the dinner there.

Fred was there to help me with the booking from the start and helped to accommodate my last minute plans. He's also super funny and a vibrant person which made the whole experience so much better. Thank you FRED!!!

We made a reservation at the last minute and I am glad it's easy and convenient. When we first entered the restaurant, there was a man busy serving customers (who were about to leave) and we helped ourselves to our seats. The waitress was nice and attentive, and I informed her that we reserved through thefork app. She has taken note of this and given us some time to go through the menu. Everything was great, the only thing I was a bit disappointed about was the Tandoori - It was a bit dry.

After a long day of sightseeing we stumbled across Haandi online and what a find. We had a wonderful welcome from the staff and the food was superb. We were given plenty of time to enjoy our food. The kitchen is open so you can see the food being prepared . Superb, what a hidden gem . We will be back.

The food was lovely but sadly arrived cold and we had to have it replaced. The service was extremely slow and we ended up eating our starters at 9pm, when arriving at 7.30pm. We had to wait an hour for food, so were starving... Also the ambience could be better, not decorated very nicely and far too loud. I'm not sure I'd visit here again.

This was a great find! The Chicken Tikka Masala was so delicious. The staff was so friendly and helpful in our choices. There was a window into the kitchen where you could see all the fresh Naan being made. Can’t wait to come again and try new dishes.

Food was tasty but expensive. Chilli paneer very spicy. Staff from Kenya were very friendly and homely. Central location. Helpful staff; they even provided cutlery, plates for our birthday cake.
