Haandi Indian Cuisine — Restaurant in Calgary

Our recent visit to Haandi left us utterly disappointed. It's astonishing how this restaurant's quality has deteriorated. We had a pleasant dining experience there in January, but this time was a complete disaster. Our order of Fish Pakora was served cold and appeared to have been frozen. Even after complaining, the reheated version wasn't fresh. The veg platter, including Pakoras and Samosas, was equally disappointing, with sour-tasting Samosas and lackluster Pakoras. The Veg Chow Mein was undercooked and had an unpleasant chewy texture, leading to another complaint. We received a replacement but opted to take it home, as our trust had waned. Even the Garlic Naan had a sour taste.

The only decent dish was the Chilly Chicken. However, the Goat vindaloo curry with potatoes featured stale, far-from-fresh potatoes. Overall, it was a disastrous experience. Our intention was to treat our parents visiting from the USA to a delightful dinner, but our choice of Handi was a regrettable mistake.

Although they attempted to make amends by offering a 20% discount on the bill, the poor food quality overshadowed any compensation. We strongly discourage dining at this establishment. They urgently need to elevate their standards, particularly in ensuring they don't serve undercooked or...

My partner and I have eaten here a few times. The vegetable dishes are okay but have a lot of salt and fat in them. With the meat dishes we find the meat is dry and chewy. The meat dishes also have a lot of salt and fat in them. Last nights meal was particularly disappointing. One of the dishes we ordered was Malai Kofta. It was horrible. It was dry, over cooked and seemed like it was days old. We are not impressed. As for the rest of the dishes they were okay. Lots of salt and fat. The dishes are nothing special. We also find that everytime after we eat here we have gastrointestinal issues and find ourselves running to the bathroom often after we eat at Haandi. I would highly recommend not eating here if you want good food and do not to get sick after eating their food. My partner and I will never eat at this...

We were super excited to see and try a new restaurant nearby. We tried a few things:

Navratna Korma- Delicious and more tasty than what we've had elsewhere (comparing to many places).

Vegetable Samosas & Papadums - Both good.

Butter Chicken - The sauce was very good (a bit more tomato taste than others but not a bad thing). The chicken itself was extremely overcooked, very dry and even hard to cut through.

Coconut Rice - Very generous with the coconut!

Garlic Naan bread - Generous and tasty with the garlic but more chewy than we're used to. Possibly could be to being a takeout item?

Lots of upside and would have easily been a 4.5 rating if it wasn't for...
