Good indian food in Nairobi Westlands
Reviewed by Chiemgauer on Feb 8, 2011


We had a dinner at Haandi and found it really good Indian food. The service at that evening was attentive and friendly and the quality of food was convincing. The atmosphere at the restaurant was lacking behind the food. Maybe that was due to the fact, that the restaurant at that evening was almost empty (end of the month). But generally the quality of the food makes it worth a visit.

Ordinary and overglorified

Having moved to nairobi and seeing review in lonely planet gave it a go. Is ordinary, poor service, and very ordinary Indian food. There is nothing special about this. The only thing that feels authentic is the rude Indian managers barking at their wait staff.. Do not bother. Want to eat decent Indian food go to saffron in yaya.. Although it lacks atmosphere... But still more than handi.

Indian and indian

This one is fine if you are indian but I don't really like it to much. There is nothing to complain about but also nothing to compliment about. Somehow it lacks caracter. Food is not bad and not good so in the end you feel like you went to the canteen at work. if you love indian food I think you will prefer the Open house across the street. Still this one can do if you end up there.

As good foor as you can find in India & maybe better

We wouldn't have known about Haandi if not for a chance encounter with an American woman working for Flying Doctors who heard us trying to figure out where in Nairobi to eat. Were we lucky. Haandi, a lovely looking restaurant, located in a nondescript mall, and has food that is delicious, excellent to look at, and inexpensive. Our Kenyan friend who has never tried Indian food before, loved it....writing down our choices so he could introduce his fiance to what he called 'one of the best restaurants in Nairobi.' We didn't have anything special - we were flying back home that night and didn't want to overeat, but the ordinary dishes, vegetable pullao, mixed vegetable curry, naan, were all outstanding.

Definitely not the best Indian food

We went for dinner in Haandi after seeing such good reviews and we were very disappointed. The service is pleasant but a bit haphazard (4 different waiters asked us for our drinks order and then we had to ask repeatedly for the menu). The cocktails are essentially juice and the food was very very average. I would definitely not recommend it or go back
