INDIAN RESTAURANT

ON SCHEDULE FOR

WINTER OPENING

Another Robert Dyer @ Bethesda Row Exclusive

Haandi, a much-loved Bethesda Indian restaurant booted out of its Fairmont Avenue home to make way for a new building, is on schedule to reopen this winter.

A "Coming Soon" sign has just been posted at its new home, in the former Uptown Deli space at 7905 Norfolk Avenue.  The move isn't so bad, as the new location has far more foot traffic than that block of Fairmont ever did.

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.
