Handi, Indian restaurant in Gulshan, Bangladesh
Handi is a restaurant in the Gulshan neighborhood of Dhaka, Bangladesh, serving traditional South Asian dishes cooked on site. The dining room is spacious and set up to welcome both small groups and larger parties at the same time.
The restaurant was founded with the aim of making traditional cooking methods from Bangladesh and the wider South Asian region accessible in an urban setting. Over time it became a familiar spot in Gulshan for both local residents and visitors passing through the area.
Handi is known for its biryanis, which are prepared following regional recipes from across Bangladesh. Guests at neighboring tables can often be seen comparing dishes and asking staff for recommendations, which gives the place a relaxed and sociable feel.
The restaurant sits in Gulshan, one of the more recognizable parts of Dhaka, which makes it straightforward to locate on foot or by car. Both dine-in and takeaway are available, so you can plan your visit around your schedule.
Handi operates on a food court model where guests build their meal step by step rather than choosing from a fixed menu. This means two people sitting at the same table can end up with completely different plates, each assembled exactly to their own taste.
