Kundh.. A place I would visit everday just to get my prozac - CHICKEN!
Though it is difficult to locate(I don't think so, but many others do) and has limited seating, this place is so disgustingly worth it.
Tandoori Chicken here is to die for! And i mean it, literally! With just the right amount of spices which gives it a salty, spicy and tangy taste all at the same time, and its well cooked texture, it's something that blew my mind. I mean WOW! Who would have thought that a tiny little place tucked away in some corner of Bangalore could have the most mind-blowing Tandoori Chicken in the city?
I know you must be thinking, how different can the Kundh Tandoor Chicken taste from others? Trust me, I thought the same and I was proven so wrong. The first time I ate that chicken, I was speechless and overwhelmed by how good chicken could actually get.
I can guarantee you, actually I can write it in my blood, that this chicken is the best you'll ever have.
After you've satiated yourself with fantabulous Tandoori Chicken, and still have room, go for some butter garlic naan which is absolutely mouth-watering -- crispy but soft at the same time and well roasted with butter that you can smell from a distance -- and gravy. My suggestions for Gravy would be Achari Paneer or just a dal would also do fine.
And to top it all off, end with Gaajar Halwa which will leave you worshipping the chef. :D
Now you must be thinking -- hmm, all this sounds good, but how light is my pocket going to get after this meal?
You'll be more than happy to know that a meal for two will cost you not more than Rs. 300-350. This estimation includes a plate of Tandoori Chicken(4 pieces), 2 butter garlic naan, a gravy and Gaajar Halwa.
The seating.. just like school, bench and tables :D
The music.. nope, sorry.
The ambience is average -- the lighting is not too bright, the furniture gives an ethnic feel.
Service is good, you'll get served within 20 minutes maximum.
Parking is easy, so don't worry about getting towed while you're lost in the deliciousness of the food there.
Getting a seat might be tricky on weekends, but the wait is worth every minute.
And it's a real pity that they don't deliver.
But in the end, all this doesn't even come into the picture after you've tasted the Tandoori Chicken. You'll be thanking me soon.

If you are planning to have a good meal, it definitely cannot start with a wait for over an hour, that too when you know it's a road side restaurant. You ask them to give you a call when a table gets free and prompt comes the response, "We dont do that!"
You wait for an hour get your hopes high (especially after reading netfoodie's review). Finally you get a table and ask for some thing to quench your thirst. Something cold deinitely, tried the much hyped Jal jeera (again thanks to netfoodie). I'm not sure if I didn't like it because it was not cold, or because of the waiters response when I asked for some ice...
I decided to not let that spoil the evening and move on. Move on we did to the next hyped dish, the Achari Chicken. We also ordered the Adraki chicken and a Dal with it. But there seemed to be very little achar in the Achari and not much of adrak either in Adraki. The Dal doesnt even deserve a mention.
Well, what the hell, maybe the deserts would be good. I wish I had killed me myself instead of giving that privelege to the chef. Too sweet is all I have to say for the Gajrella. We were four of us, and thankfully we had ordered only two, which we still were not able to finish.
This place is in no way cheap. It is moderately priced. You will definitely get better north indian food elsewhere at these prices. For your own sake stay away from here! or maybe you may want to try when you feel like having something bland.

Its is a road side restaurant and the prices unjustifiably high.
Very ordinary biryani was served to us.
Really a waste of money.

Kund Indranagar is a favourite of many for many reasons other than the tasty food..
It's little nondescript obscure place in indranagar (roadside corner of Dominoes on 100 ft road?) where you may not even dream of taking friends but that only till you have tasted the food yourself - you change your opinion fast !! ...Kund offers a good view and amazing smells of an open kitchen, as you sit on large wooden benches (I wonder what makes them so comfortable though ) and thick clunky tables in a open roadside place (covered with 'chik' though ). You are surprised to still find in bangalore friendly smiling waiters ....and can usually see the owner Mr Singh having a chat with the regulars who frequent the place.
You will love their authentic 'asli' north indian tandoori menu - achari chiken tandoor is personal favourite as is paneer tandoori . Actually I'm told by a rather proud Mr Singh (owner) that they popularised the concept of mains and starters in bangalore - the mains are a complete meal by themselves and come with a choice of roti/naans, dal makahani , salad and a generous portion dry mixed vegetable 'sabji" served with the main dish of your choice. Drinks - the jaljeera is nice...and Desert ? - dont miss the amazing dudhia halwa if yiuve got a sweet tooth
Bottomline - the wait is well worth it, as the food is tasty and you go back a happy person. The pricing - very reasonable and you can go away with a main at Rs 90-120/-
(be prepared to wait for a table if you go on weekends...)

decent punjabi grub in indiranagar. not a great place to sit but makes up with the food. difficult to locate as is tucked away behind the Dominos outlet. on weekends be prepared to stand outside and wait for 15 to 30 minutes for a table.
helpings: decent
price : decent
ambience : clean but not posh
food : decent
