Handi Indian Restaurant: A Tale of Tradition and Taste

Once upon a time, nestled in the heart of the vibrant Lantau Island, a culinary legacy took root on the 22nd of April, 2006. This is the story of the Handi Indian Restaurant, a sanctuary of North Indian delights, founded by the visionary couple Jagdev Singh Gill and Kuldeep Kaur Gill.

The air at Handi carries the rich aromas of simmering spices and the warmth of traditional earthenware pots—handis—where magic unfolds. The Gill couple journeyed from the lush fields of Punjab, bringing with them treasured family recipes, a keen spirit for hospitality, and a passion for the distinctive flavors of their homeland.
As you open the menu, each page is a passage to the vibrant villages of North India. Begin your journey with a selection of appetizers such as Samosas. Or dive into the smoky flavors of tandoor-cooked Chicken Tikka or Tandoori Mix Grill, each morsel marinated in a melody of herbs and spices, invoking the celebrated Punjabi zest for life.
The Handi Tradition
A pause, then the story continues with the main courses. Behold the butter chicken, a dish that serenades your palate with its creamy tomato gravy, as smooth and comforting as the rolling Punjabi fields. The dal makhani is poetry in a bowl, with black lentils simmered overnight, infused with love, patience, and the quiet depth of rural Punjab.
The pride of the menu is the Handi Gosht & Gosht Rogan Josh, a masterpiece of slow-cooked lamb chunks in a rich, robust gravy, its spices handpicked from the bazaars of North India. Each bite tells a tale of traditional festivities, of laughter and camaraderie shared over bountiful feasts.
In each dish at Handi Indian Restaurant, you'll find the essence of Lantau Island mixed with the soul of North India. Over the years, Jagdev and Kuldeep have woven themselves into the community, turning guests into family, strangers into friends, and every meal into a cherished memory.

Handi is not just a restaurant; it is a home away from home for those who find solace in its flavors—a place where stories are shared, and the spirit of Punjab endures. The Gills have lovingly created not just a menu, but a warm, welcoming experience where every visit feels like a festivity, and every patron leaves with a tale of their own. This is the story of Handi, where the heart of North India beats steadfast, enriching Lantau Island with its timeless taste and traditions.
