WHEN SLEDGEHAMMER MEETS RESTAURANT: HAANDI BEGINS DEMO-ING DINING ROOM [PHOTO]

Longtime Bethesda Indian restaurant Haandi served its final meals at its current location Sunday.  By Thursday, the dining room was beginning to look like a hurricane had passed through.

I can't tell what those long white planks are.  Molding that they can reutilize in the new restaurant on Norfolk Avenue?

Whatever's going on in there, it is in the early stages.

    That whole building has become a ghost town. The convenience store still has items on the shelves from when they closed a long time ago.

    1. I'm assuming JBG will start knocking the building down this fall, given the earlier date they asked tenants to be out by. That block of Fairmont was already deserted at night after Relic closed, but it will be even worse now until the new building opens.

    When and where does the new Haandi open?

    1. Haandi is scheduled to reopen this winter in the former Uptown Deli space on Norfolk Avenue. So, not too far from the original location.
