Luncheon with friends, four people in total, meetup on a fluorescent overcast day with rain. We each ordered something different and shared our dishes; Chicken Vindaloo, Tandoori Chicken, Lamb, and Goat. Vindaloo at the default spice level was delicious, spicy enough to be stimulating, but, not hot enough to sweat indoors. I had a sweet lassi in case I had to extinguish the fire. No need, it was yummy. This restaurant has a Tandoori oven and a chef that knows how to use it, so the Tandoori Chicken was perfect, as were oven breads. Lamb ang Goat dishes were flavorful and nicely spiced. The rice, cooked with saffron, was a bit dry, but, sauced with entree gravies, was consumed fully. No desert...
It's hard to find a good Indian restaurant in the NoVA area. I think this one definitely tops the list. The service is excellent and the atmosphere is nice. Some of the dishes are slightly pricey, but I did order the Lamb Vindaloo. I do wish that I asked for extra spicy. The one thing I didnt like was that they didn't bring separate dishes of rice for each entree; instead they put two entrees- worth of rice on one plate. I'd like to come back one day and try the buffet. The portions were large, they are shareable or enough to take home.
I've been going to Haandi at least once a week for several years now. They do a great job with everything from matar paneer and saag murgh to baingan bharta and more complicated entrees. It's the only restaurant where everyone in our family has a favorite dish they're thrilled to eat. When we have friends in from out of town, we almost always get Haandi, too, because the food is so reliable--and the takeout portions are enormous. The staff is friendly and knows us by name. It's a pleasure to eat at Haandi.
I had dinner at this restaurant around 5:30 on a Saturday. It was surprisingly busy for that time of day. The service was good and the food was served with pride and a touch of elegance. The portion sizes were generous. The salmon tandoori dish consisted of three long and slender fillets with onion and fragrant rice. The mango lassi was delicious. My only criticism would be that the cauliflower appetizer was a bit too soft for a fried dish. Despite this, we will definitely be returning!

The waiter was responsive and quick. The ambiance was okay, with typical Asian restaurant clutter towards the back. The chicken was freshly cooked but drenched in oil. The kabobs had too much cardamom flavor for my taste, which was unusual. The naans and rice were fresh and delicious.
My family's favorite restaurant is Haandi, known for its delicious and fresh dishes like Gobi Manchurian, Murgh Mhakina (medium spicy), and lentil soup. The food here never disappoints in taste and quality!
I was pleasantly surprised to see that there was no wait during the lunch rush on a workday, and my hot and delicious Channa Pindi was ready in just 10 minutes. The staff was friendly and made sure my...
I absolutely love Haandi. It is not only my top choice for Indian cuisine, but also my favorite restaurant overall. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the food is absolutely incredible.

I have been frequenting Haandi for several years now, visiting at least once a week. They excel in dishes like matar paneer, saag murgh, and baingan bharta.
Really delicious food, the Methi Chooza (chicken with a touch of fenugreek) was outstanding
