Deeply entrenched within the culture of the Subcontinent, the word continues to be used throughout South Asia. Forceful, robust, potent, strident and powerful – Bandook has all the connotations of an entity hard to ignore - dominant, commanding and even quite irresistible! It’s the kind of heritage any Indian restaurant would be proud of and Bandook Indian Kitchen more than meets the criteria with its superlative Indian street food cooking, affable service and fabulous surroundings.
