TLDR: A hole in the wall serving great Indian/Pakistani food…read more The dish I usually would use to gauge an Indian restaurant is the lamb or mutton biryani. This usually takes hours to cook and can make or break a meal. The rice needs to be deeply fragranced from being slowly cooked, and the texture needs to be perfect. In this case, the rice was near perfect. Very, very long-grained, intensely flavorful and spicy. It was spicy like a Hyderabadi biryani but the flavor of the lamb did not infuse into the rice. so I was a little confused if it was a dum cooked biryani. Perhaps being a small place, and offering vegetarian, chicken and lamb biryani, the meat was cooked separately and mixed in. Nevertheless, a place I would be back to should I be craving Indian food again while in Hong Kong. Service was good, with the masala chai being hot and in a proper tin cup! As a hole in the wall, it was tiny - seating for 12 would be tight, and most patrons I found to be taking out during the time I was there. Not a place I would bring a group to, but may be better as a take-out.

On the other hand, the naan is a bit dry and hard, and I wish they use basmati for rice. They have set meals for a good value. Service is not exactly warm, but efficient enough. Also when we set down they brought cold water to us but a glass of warm water for my dad, an attentive gesture I appreciated. The restaurant is behind the famous Chan's roasted geese, not on the main street.

I went there for lunch and each lunch set comes with a vegetable soup entree. The soup is thick in texture but not heavy at all, very comforting and tasty. Their authentic tandoori chicken is definitely one of my favourites. Served on a sizzling plate with a squeeze of lemon and sliced onions, chicken is marinated deeply and grilled to perfection to lock in the flavour, keeping the chicken breast tender and juicy...mmmm.....yummmmm!! Freshly baked garlic nann is another highlight! Warm, fresh and puffy from the oven, with a texture of soft chewy bread layered with thin crispy crusts and a hint of fresh garlic on top. Delicious to be served on its own or with any main dishes. The only downside is that there's an Indian songs x HKNews crossover happening in the restaurant :P Carpark is available outside of the restaurant.

Known for quality food and clean interiors, this location did the same as well. The interior was very clean and the service was very good. Vegan Medu Vada - this was the least liked item for us. The Medu Vada, seemed very small for SB and looked as it was made by novice rather than an experienced chef. The MVs are normally much bigger and perfectly round and equal batter all around. Just one chutney and very little sambhar didn't help. The Vegan Rava Masala Dosa was better. Nice crisp dosa overfilled with Potato and Onion masala. The three chutneys and sambhar (less qty.) was good. The mostly Vegan North Indian Thaali was good as well. The curries to the point. The curries had a South Indian touch though, which is OK. The cauliflower 65 pakora was the best and super crunchy.

Known as "爵樂" (zoek lok) for the local crowd, they're regarded as a legit option for indian fare. I've been a patron for the better part of the last couple of decades, enjoying their food and overall ambiance. The best way I could describe the ambiance is classy but old school. There is ample seating for HK standards, with comfortable booths, clean bathrooms, and an overall nice decor. Service is usually exceptional: polite, professional, and super accommodating. I personally feel this is their strongest asset. I'm not mad at the food, which is most definitely solid. The presentation is on point and I'd reserve that mainly for their a la carte dishes. The pani puri is fun with the drink, the tandoori chicken is very hearty, and their mixed grill consisting of several kebabs is a treat. I also enjoy their sag paneer, chana masala, and dum aloo. One thing I've always loved is their lunch buffet. Despite being a city filled with numerous indian options (#2), only a handful will offer an all you can eat experience. Their setup changes daily, but I've always enjoyed it. I really liked their veggie pakoras, keema, and paneer anything options. I didn't love their chutneys, garlic naan, or navaratan korma, but one can't win them all. On certain days they have live music here, which is usually traditional music with live vocals with a bhangra dhol + mini drum set. The sound is legit, and a gamechanger + super fun element to their popular dining program. __________ (#1) And trust me, there's a lot. Desi life in Kowloon is serious. (#2) As well as buffets in general.

I was adventuring with my once-a-week-veggie friend again, and so we sampled many a veggie option. We had a vegetable pakora to start with, which was so so. Moving onto the delicious curries - paneer massala, paneer makhani and a mock duck makhankan (I think that's how it's spelt). The mock duck took home the best of show prize. Delicious, flavoursome and spicy. We complimented this with a couple of butter and garlic naans and my all time favourite palaki pullao; pilau rice and spinach. Honestly. It. Is. Devine. The meat eaters ordered a mixed tandoori to satiate our protein requirements. I wasn't blown away. On the whole, there are some delicious dishes here, but you need to know what they are. It's a great restaurant and I will be back and reorder different items to find the perfect Monday curry combination!

When I found out that Handi was literally a few miles from our flat, and it came highly recommended by friends who live on a different part of the island, I told my husband we must try it out. He looked at me like I had 5 heads because I had never tried Indian food so he couldn't wait to take me there. This place is the cutest. Yes. It's so quaint and tiny. I feel like I'm in the owner's home. We chose to eat inside where there's about 5 tables from two-seaters up to 6 seats. Each table decked out in red and white checkered cloths. The menu is like a small book, with a variety of sections to choose from. It was quite plentiful. As well as several options for vegetarians too. From the first bite to the last crumb, everything was delicious! It's definitely going to be our go-to spot from now on. I think what made this meal so incredible was the combination of the home cooked feel of the food accompanied by such hospitable and wonderful service from the owner. I think he could tell we truly enjoyed our food, and he gave us their take away menu and told us they have free delivery for certain areas. Indian cravings will be fully taken care of here! Prices are reasonable. Service is quick and friendly. Bring yourself or bring the entire family, you won't be disappointed.
