Haandi

BETHESDA. Accented with Indian artwork, this restaurant offers zesty cuisine from the northern part of the sub-continent. Tandoori chicken, baked in the traditional clay oven, attracts a cast of regulars who can't get enough of the spice-infused meat. They also dig into earthy curries and chunky rice biryanis, mopping up sauce and renegade morsels with hearty flatbread. Chicken cooked with coriander and green chilies satisfies those who appreciate a little fire, and vegetarians are pleased by a variety of meatless entrees.
