Great cuisine in great ambience by great staff. Quiet for family events and relaxing from the din of town a few paces away.

This restaurant is a real find. We've been living in Kenya for 3 years, on and off, and one of the things we always did when returning to the UK was visit a local Indian Restaurant. But not now! We've got an excellent, authentic, Indian restaurant right here on our doorstep. It's got good ambiance, and it's clean and tidy.... More

This place is fantastic. Everything is good. I trust the cleanliness- because you watch them make you meal through a large kitchen menu. Prices are around 1500- so as a student, I only went for special occasions.

This place was highly recommended to us by some other Americans. Food is delicious and flavorful which is hard to find in Kenya. Would recommend the coconut curry fish or any fish dish for that matter. Service is superb and quick! We've ate here a few times and we only stayed in Kisumu for a few days. Our friends have... More

Great food, reasonable prices and a lot of space. Usually fairly empty but a nice quiet spot to have a quality Indian meal.

Thats the only word for it! This place surpassed all my expectations! I don't normally eat Indian food, but I loved everything about this place. The atmosphere, the service, and of course the food! If you are in or around the Kisumu area and don't go here you are definitely missing out on an amazing culinary experience.

Haandi's serves up an extensive list of tasty Indian dishes at a reasonable price. The food is hot, delicious and at around US$6 for a vegetarian dish, not too expensive by Western standards (though it is for Kenya). When I went, I found a mix of Kenyan, Indian, and Western people all happily eating. For drinks, I'd also recommend purchasing... More
