10/10Great personal attention from a wonderful bartender and waiter. She handmixed my Pimms cup at table as I was unfamiliar with the drink. Excellent recommendations on building the meal also. Super keema (nice and spicy) and terrific naan and paratha with tasty topping of cucumber, tomato, cilantro and white pepper.

10/10A great find while staying nearby in the neighborhood. Charming staff who are very attentive. And the food is delicious—very authentic and beautifully presented. I went for dinner. May pop back over for lunch before I leave London.

10/10Small, open but quite cosy restaurant with great food. Although there were quite a few other people , our group of 6 felt as if we had the place to ourselves!

10/10Fabulous lunch. I consider myself a biryani ‘expert’ and theirs was moist, rich with spices as well as a nice crunch of veggies. The chili shrimp was incredible and I cleaned the plate, using the spicy sauce on the rice. It was really a great meal.

8.5/10We visit Haandi every time we are in London, and certainly every Remembrance weekend - it's an established ritual. We used to be regular diners at Haandi in Nairobi, and the welcome we always get from the Kenyan staff here in London is exceptional. The food is always very good and the service is amazing. Absolutely love it !!

10/10The samosas were excellent, but could be a little bit ‘hot’ for some. Punjabi curry was vg. Most enjoyable with good service. With the discount excellent value.

6.5/10Although we mentioned 3 times that we came with the Fork app. The bill came full price and we had to ask for it again, so not an issue at the end. The portion were small and to be honest at full price the food is over priced.

10/10I 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).

10/10It'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!

8/10We 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.

9.5/10The 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.

10/10After 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.

6/10The 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.

9.5/10This 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.
