The greeting was a bit cold but it warmed up as the evening progressed. Co-owner & staff very friendly. Washington, our waiter, even entertained us with some of his own poetry! Delightful! Each dish was tasty, though I'm not a fan of the fish curry. Loved the mango lassi. I would definitely visit again.

We went to Chendani with a party of six, and I think I can say we all enjoyed the dining experience there, even though the service was a bit slow (despite it being a week night and the restaurant only half full) and there was some confusion about the whole restaurant week arrangement.

The owner eventually agreed to provide the restaurant week tasting menu and it was excellent - an indian thali with 7 different dishes, all delightfully tasty. They also have a good wine list with several wines that are perfectly suited to accompany the fragrant ini dan food. We will definitively be back to explore the restaurant's regular menu!
Good atmosphere. Authentic Indian food. An enjoyable evening had by all.

About Chandani
Chandani is an Indian and vegetarian restaurant offering authentic Indian cuisine
(they import our own spices from India)
handani want to give an example of the culinary extravaganza of the Grand Mugals, by recreating the ambiance and hospitality of that golden era, when every meal was a feast.
On the culinary level, it was the East that conquered the West - the universal popularity of curry is the delicious proof. It was a wrong notion that Indian food is "hot". The spices and herbs used are not only for their flavour and aroma, but also their digestive and nutritional value.Chillies are rich in vitamin C, mehti (fenugreek) peps up the liver, ginger and peppercorns aid digestion, mint is cooling and coriander is good for the kidneys.Wholesome food and good health are clearly linked, and here at Chandani, we use only the finest ingredients to prepare dishes that are nutritious and delicious.
