This was a very low key Indian restuarant inside a mall but the food was delicious and extensive. Beautiful lamb legs, prawn dishes and breads. Really nice friendly service and very attentive.

After being in Nairobi for 3 weeks and working our way through the trip advisor recommendations we were taken with Haandi. The service was perfect, not pushy, yet still observant of meal progress. The waiters and an intimate knowledge of the menu. The food was fantastic, naan bread was out of this world, as was the traditional dishes they are... More

The food is usually very good. I've had the best experience food wise in the westlands location. Food at the Capital Center location has been inconsistent and is pricey for wht you get.

In my opinion the best Indian food in Nairobi. I love the garlic mushrooms. If you like Indian food, should try this.

I eat at Haandi's more than any other restaurant in Nairobi - it's consistently excellent. The service is good, and they are redecorating in stages (as of March-April 2013) which hopefully will brighten a slightly dull/stuffy interior. The (glassed-off) view into the kitchen is nice. Haandi's starts you off with the KenIndian-customary crudités with sauces/chutneys, and have a unique hot-towel... More

Went there for dinner with the family and the service was first-class. The food was excellent and the staff could not have been better. We all truly enjoyed our night out!

It's been around for years, and a must for Indian food lovers. The Chicken Tikka Masala is fantastic as well as the wide variety of other indian options on the menu.

Large variety of indian dishes cooked at perfection. As many time you go, as many times you enjoy and leave fulfilled. The kitchen visible from the restaurant is a spectacle in itself. Better to make bookings otherwise you might just end a dream before it starts!

My fiance and I were spending our first night in Nairobi, we ventured out from our hotel and after entering the Mall we just happened to see the Haandi restaurant. Indian is one of my fiance's favorites so we decided to try it, not knowing anything about the place. We were a little unsure at first because there was only... More

This along with Diamond Plaza in Nairobi are some of the best Indian food around. If you love Indian food this is the place to go. The food literally melts in your mouth. One of my favorite Nairobi places to eat.
