Nairobi is not an easy town for good food, but Haandi certainly offers you a very wide variety of tasty plates. Location could be freshened up a little bit but service and quality of food certainly makes you forget this small imperfectness... More

The Haandi restaurant in Kisumu has a nicer atmosphere, but they are both equally delicious. Hands down some of the best Indian food in the city. Of course, it will be on the costlier side! More

Cannot compare this to other specialty Indian restaurants in Nairobi, but Haandi was a fabulous find by my North American standards.
