Haandi is a new Indian Restaurant in Rancho Cucamonga
Charles
Barkley Suns Jersey , but without a doubt the best Indian cuisine
in Southern California. Chef Ramesh is no newcomer to Indian Cuisine. He's
straight from Beverly Hills where he worked for 15 years as the head Chef in an
Indian Restaurant. Haandi is owned by two brothers, Hartig (Harry) and Sartaj
Singh. Harry is the manager of Haandi and believe it or not Sartaj his brother,
the manager of Antonino's Italian Restaurant also in Rancho Cucamonga, which has
been established and very popular for quite some time now. The two brothers are
dedicated to pleasing their clientele, which is quite obvious by the outstanding
service they give. The second you walk into the restaurant, you feel at home. I
felt as though I was visiting a good friend. Singh joined my associates and me
for dinner, which gave us the opportunity to get a much better understanding of
Indian Culture and Food. While dining Mr. Keith Hunt, a customer stopped by our
table and said to Singh, "I've been to India and several Indian Restaurants and
this is the best Indian food I've ever had." The interior is very appealing to
the eye. There are 2 dining rooms with framed Indian Pictures. A large painting
of the Taj Mahal is facing the front door and hung on soft muted gold colored
walls. The etched glass dividers separate each booth, giving you just enough
privacy. The dark wood throughout gives a very nice outline to the interior. Now
for the food
Brandon
Knight Suns Jersey , my associates and I started with Pappadam
(crispy bread), which was served with three different types of chutney; mint,
tomato, and tamarind. It was difficult to decide which was my favorite. Haandi
has a large selection of beer, both Indian and American wines and liquor.
However, I enjoyed the merlot with my meal, which gave a wonderful taste with
the cuisine. It's a well-kept secret that Indian food is not necessarily hot and
spicy. The food consists of many flavors, spices and tastes. If you request it,
the food can be made spicy to your liking. Since reviewing the restaurant I took
a survey of about 25 people and asked their opinion on Indian food. Much to my
surprise the largest majority interviewed made the same comment: "Indian food is
much too spicy and they use curry in everything. Well, not so

Tyson Chandler Jersey , and if you feel the same I ask you to try
Haandi because you will be pleasantly surprised. The next item was Fish Pakora,
which is deep fried fish and ever so tender and flaky, but best of all, not oily
or greasy. It's also true of the Onion Bhaji and really hard to believe that
these two items were fried. When asking Chef Ramesh how could that be possible?
He stated "The temperature of the oil was the secret; it must be just right.
Chicken Tika is a very moist and tender chicken, which has been marinated, in an
exceptional choice of spices and herbs. Try this I think you will like it. The
menu consists of a wide selection of appetizers, entrees, and beverages. There
is something on the menu for everyone; seafood, lamb, chicken and vegetables.

Authentic T.J.
Warren Jersey , that's right; there is also quite a variety for
vegetarians. My favorite was the Shrimp Masala. Plump, moist, tender shrimp
cooked to perfection in an amazing creamy sauce that melts in your mouth. John,
my photographer and I were invited into the kitchen to see the Tandoor (clay
oven), which makes this restaurant different from others. The Tandoor is a clay
oven that has a temperature of 400 to 1000 degrees. We watched Chef Ramesh make
Nan (bread), which is made and served fresh for each customer. The dough is
pressed by hand, seasoned and then thrown against the wall of the clay oven and
ready to eat in seconds. Another item I recommend is the Shah's Platter, which
is truly fit for a king. It will give you a nice variety of tastes especially if
you're a newcomer to Indian Cuisine. It's a combination of Tandori Chicken,
Chicken Tiki and Lamb Chops. They offer a Buffet, which is served daily for
lunch at $7.95 per person
Authentic Steve
Nash Jersey , and a Champagne Brunch on Saturday and Sunday for
$10.95. Their regular menu is also quite reasonable. We completed this amazing
meal with dessert. We tried the Dessert Sampler; which consists of an assortment
of sweets. Gulab Jamun is a Milk Cheese Ball; don't be fooled by the name
because it is truly scrumptious. Kula is homemade creamy pistachio ice cream,
yes, homemade. Chai tea was the perfect end to a truly wonderful meal. You can
eat in or take out. They also have catering services for that special party.
Haandi gets 5 stars from me not only for the best Indian Food in Southern
California but also for the service and ambiance. Don't miss out on a wonderful
experience of Indian food and Culture. It is well worth the visit. Haandi Indian
