ReviewsVery nice All of the vegetarian dishes that we've tried here have been top-notch. I've always been puzzled by the fact that Indian restaurants seem to have the same range of prices for dishes, regardless of the location or ambience of the restaurant. Fortunately, Haandi is on the upper end of the quality scale. When we visited, every table was full, but it didn't seem crowded.

Food Rating [6/10] Service Rating [8/10] Ambiance Rating [8/10] Avoid it if you want to enjoy your evening! Haandi was recommended to me by a friend. I also read the reviews at washingtonion.com and went there with my husband for our wedding anniversary. That was a huge mistake. Haandi was recommended to me by a friend. I also read the reviews at washingtonion.com and went there with my husband for our wedding anniversary. That was a huge mistake. Initially when we went there, we waited for a couple of minutes before anyone even showed up. The server (waiter) was polite but without any trace of smile of his face. He seated us at one of the center tables. I must add that the décor is quite decent. We sat down and decided to order some food off the old/worn out menu cards. We had questions about some recipes that the waiter explained with a look that told us how stupid we were not to understand the dishes. This particular waiter was a tall bald guy who seemed to be in-charge of other waiters (I have to mention this because this is his identifying mark). He seemed bored and was making an effort not to look bored. The plates that were laid before us should have been retired long ago- yellowed and slightly chipped. While we sat there eating appetizers, we noticed a bunch of waiters huddles near the bar and staring at customers (including us), which was quite discomforting. Now don’t get me wrong. The waiters have to look at customer tables to see if the customers need anything but these guys were staring … like really staring. When he took our appetizer plates away, he kept the dirty forks on the table (to be reused with the entrees). I am not sure if this is a norm but I have not seen this in most other restaurants. I would have ignored this if everything else were great. The entrees were either average or below average and didn’t justify their high price tags - high in terms of Indian cuisine. I feel that all the accolades this place has received was years ago. Their service quality has dropped drastically now. So, all in all, below average food, service without smile, condescending attitude and stares of the staff ruined our evening (fire the baldy I say unless he is the owner of course). If you want to enjoy your meal and get value for your money, don’t even look at this restaurant. There are many others in the DC metro area.
