Guide Review - Haandi Restaurant Review
The tandoori dishes are very flavorful. You may choose chicken, lamb and salmon with a variety of seasonings. Other recommended dishes are the spicy lamb vindaloo; wok-cooked mixtures of meat with tomatoes and other vegetables, the vegetarian aloo do paeezah made of sautéed potatoes, onions, tomatoes, and bell peppers, and laced with cumin seeds; and biryani dishes--mounds of saffron rice, nuts, seasonings, and meat, chicken, or seafood.
There is a wide selection of curry dishes and baked flatbreads such as nan and roti or stuffed breads. Breads are freshly baked in a charcoal clay oven when ordered. Most entrees are served with fresh homemade green coriander chutney, Tamarin Chutney and pickles.
