A few days ago, a group of us went out for dinner at Handi. We chose the restaurant based on its convenient location – being midway between UBC and all of our homes. My friend had been there before and vouched for it.When we reached, it was quite empty. We got a very friendly server, and ordered a whole bunch of dishes. I was sharing chicken tikka, chicken korma, kadhai chicken and some naan, rice and dal with my friends; each main dish was good enough to feed two. My favourite was the chicken korma, which came with a thick, creamy, cashew nut based gravy. Although we had asked for medium spicy for both the korma and the kadhai chicken, i found the latter to be quite spicy. Couldn’t really enjoy it or taste much beyond the heat. However my friends who don’t mind spicy as much, said they liked that more than the korma. Guess it depends on what kind of a preparation you prefer.My pet peeve with all Indian restaurants in Vancouver, is that they use boneless breast pieces for the curries and tikkas (spicy, grilled chicken). That’s really not the best type of meat, especially for tikka, since it doesn’t let the flavour permeate inside. Well made tikka can be almost butter soft, and for that (or to get anywhere even a little close to it) you should not be using fibrous pieces like from the breast area.But I won’t hold that against Handi specifically. I’d say their chicken tikka was as good as any other you would get in Vancouver.At the end, i asked for a slice of mango cheesecake for our friend who was celebrating his birthday. It was not bad, but $7 seems a bit much for the teeny tiny piece they gave us.In general we had nice and friendly service but towards the end they kind of spoiled that by giving us a single bill (without asking us first), and then refused to split the amount. The guy we spoke to regarding this looked like the owner. He looked quite grumpy as he told us that it was OUR responsibility to have asked for separate checks before he printed it out, and apparently whatever is printed is unchangeable. Definitely did not enjoy that surprise at the end.
The first time we ate here, we got food poisoning. We noticed that the chicken was not cooked. A few months later we tried again and when the food arrived the chicken was pink and they showed up with the wrong order. We called and told them about the chicken and they ignored us. We asked if they could deliver the correct order and they claimed that they did deliver the correct order. We asked for a store credit and they said the best they can do is give us 10% off. 2 strikes, you’re out. Worst customer service I have ever experienced… not to mention a danger to our health. Do not eat here.
We visited this restaurant twice.Having developed a bit of a taste for tandoori food, we ordered tandoori chicken, tandoori fish and naan. It was absolutely delicious. Cooked in a traditional tandoor and spiced perfectly! The portion sizes were huge – we could have shared the fish between two of us. Having loved it so much, we went back for lunch another day and had one of their Tandoori Prawns – cooked in a wood-fired stove outside. This was also really delicious. I would definitely recommend this place and particularly the fish.
I tried , texture , taste , and appeal is great , and when they served up it is actually still hot-warmth ! unlike some of other places I visited the prob the only down side of and were really good. On the recommendation of yelp reviews, I had the burger with the works, and it was great! It’s good that it wasn’t some gigantic burger that you get at some restaurants
Hands down one of the best restaurants I have been to in a long time. The food is unreal. Very technical, very creative, an amazing fusion of flavours. The ambiance is warm and invitingThe restaurant itself is get pretty crowded,I am very happy with the services.
Four of us recently enjoyed a great meal at this restaurant on Dunbar Street. We skipped the Appetizers and ordered the Lamb Kadhai, Lamby Curry and Chicken Masala. Not only was the food tasty but the service was excellent.The restaurant is cosy and ideal for a family dinner or a special get together.
TERRIBLE DELIVERY SERVICE! Would never ever EVER order from this place EVER again. Worst delivery service ever . Claims that they called us a couple of times but no missed calls. The manager charged us $10 dollars for delivery in total for bring the food back again. Treated us like we were thieves or something by saying that UBC students ignore their phone calls on purpose when they change their mind about the order. This happened to my friend before when the manager claimed that he has called but no missed calls existed. Their customer service is terrible and it cannot get any worse. Although the food is okay I would never ever recommend this place to anyone because of their customer service. I hope my extra charged 5 dollars helped their sales for tonight and I hope they realized that they have lost some good costumers.
