Haandi Restaurant Knightsbridge is an Indian restaurant at 7 Cheval Place with a dining room that can also be approached from Brompton Road. The restaurant takes its name from the wide bellied, narrow necked cooking pots used to retain heat and aroma in several of its curries.
Masalas are prepared fresh each day and dishes are cooked to order. A glass fronted kitchen lets diners watch the chefs work, adding theatre to the preparation of tandoori grills, breads, seafood and richly spiced sauces.
The menu spans grilled prawns and fish, chicken and lamb kebabs, curries, biryani and vegetable dishes. Freshly baked naan and other breads are important accompaniments, while lentils, paneer and seasonal vegetables provide substantial meat free choices.
A bar and private dining area make Haandi suitable for business meals, family dinners and larger gatherings. The combination of attentive table service, carefully developed spice and visible cooking creates a polished experience while keeping the food rooted in Indian technique.
Address: 7 Cheval Place, Knightsbridge, London SW7 1EW, England
