“Indian Food @ Kenya”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 December 2009

person found this review helpful

Travelling from Middle East (non veg is staple diet) to Africa ( land of animals)... for a converted vegetarian by choice... I was wondering what would be my culinary experience at Kenya. First stop at Nairobi, via Dubai. By evening, I was already missing my dosa-chutney/moong dal fry/alu gobi, etc.

Thanks to Lonely Planet, we decided on Haandi. Travel agent at Nairobi confirmed Haandi was the most popular.

We went to Haandi.... Indeed, the it was great to get some authentic Indian food.

“Excellent indian food!”

At first I was skeptical b/c it is located in a mall and because on arrival we were made to wait 30 minutes for a table in an empty restaurant, apparently they were having a staff meeting. Once our waiter arrived though he was attentive and nice. Our food was WONDERFUL! We ordered a lamb, a chicken, and a seafood dish. All were great, especially with the delicious naan bread! I would go back in heart beat. The price was a little expensive but no more than any nice place in Nairobi

“Nice but overpriced”

Haandi used to be the best place to enjoy Indian cuisine in Nairobi but has become the victim of its success. Unless of course inflated prices are the result of their success. Today the food is not any better than most Indian restaurants in the area, the service is good and the ambiance average. Better to try cheaper alternatives like Open House and Angiti... simply better value for your money.
