Somehow, forgot to take food pics- but we had the lunch buffet here just now… in a nutshell, “Excellently prepared handful of dishes which will indulge Indian as well as non- Indian palates!!”

Salads ‘n Starters: Melt in the mouth mini dahi bhallas, a very uniquely made chickpea salad, green salad, raita ( spiced yoghurt with shredded veggies), pickle etc, Tandoori Chicken (dark bone in), samosas, onion pakodas ( bhajas/fritters), Rice- well made ‘n different from other restaurants🙂🤩

Main Course for meat eaters: Chicken Tikka Masala, Goat Curry!

For Veggie Lovers: Spinach ‘n Corn, Peas ‘n Cheese/Paneer Curry, Succulent Aloo Gobhi ( potatoes ‘n cauliflower, home style), red lentils!

Dessert ‘n Breads: Naan bread etc, Indian style Rice Pudding ‘n hot Gulab Jamuns!

My husband has been eating here for 20 + years🙂🙂!

I love this place. The lunch buffet is the best Ive had anywhere. They keep everything very fresh and the ingredients are high quality. The proprietor and regular waiter are very kind and the price is very fair. Its got a very neighborhoody feel. Even the decorations and music are really nicely done. I strongly recommend the masala chai. It, like everything else, is delicious.

I haven't been to Haandi to dine in for a very long time. We've done take out and it's fine. But the experience of eating there was amazing. The food was perfect. The tea was delicious. The quiet atmosphere made it perfect for catching up with family. Can't wait to go back!!

I have been coming here for many years. Buffet closed down due to Covid. It is now back. Very nice buffet. The food is always delicious. I used to get the lamb vindaloo. Haven't tried it yet. The buffet had curried lamb. Absolutely delicious. This will be a regular lunch spot for me. The folks are very friendly as usual service is fantastic. Ambiance is casual. Nice decor inside.

Excellent food! Been coming here with our family for 15 years now and every dish has always been delicious! Been to many Indian restaurants and this is my favorite!

Been coming to this Indian restaurant for years. They have by far the best chicken korma than any other Indian restaurant. That being said, they do have a creamier version than the traditional korma (But my favorite). The place a small but cozy. Service is amazing and friendly and can help you find something good if you’re new to Indian cuisine. Their naan is top tier and food is just as high weather it’s your first time or a veteran.

I was craving some warm, comforting Indian food and decided to give this place a try. I felt uncertain given the 4.2-rating but ultimately am SO glad I came because this spot is amazing. I knew it was going to be good when I walked in and the smell of garlic and curry hit me. The place was quite busy, vibrant and the energy felt good. The hostess and gentlemen that helped with my order were very warm and welcoming. I ordered the butter chicken (I know, basic but I had to…), chicken dish #2, and a mango lassi. The chicken definitely stood out to me. It was delicious, and I could distinguish good quality meat, which I really appreciate! Juicy, tender—it even had a smokey “woody” flavor under the rich sauces. I had left overs and it still tasted great the next day, there was no dreaded gamey taste. The sauces in my dishes were well spiced, fresh, and perfectly balanced. Very deep and rich flavors. I took my food “to-go” and the portions were also super generous. The rice was buttery and light in texture, mango lassi was sweet, thick, and creamy. Not to mention I have celiac disease and I did not have any gluten reaction after eating here. I highly recommend and will definitely be returning to try more dishes. This place deserves a higher rating in my opinion.

I tried to get my dad to come to this restaurant for months, but he insisted he didn't like Indian food. One night he was trying to take me to another restaurant that was unexpectedly closed. I asked him at least to try Haandi as a personal favor to me. Not only did he love it, but it immediately became his favorite restaurant and he returned every Sunday for dinner for the rest of his life.

Four years after his death, I brought some relatives who were visiting so they could try my dad's favorite restaurant. As soon as we sat down, the waiter asked where my dad was. He remembered him after all that time. We had to let him know that he stopped coming to the restaurant because he had passed away.

My family and I came here for lunch. We ordered a sampler plate from the clay oven and it was amazing. Also the service was wonderful. We had our wild baby with us and he made a mess, but everyone was so kind and understanding. The food was so good. We loved everything about it!

Nice Indian place, I gave 4 stars for the seasoned. It needs a little more flavor for the naan, the samosas are amazing
