No matter where you live or what you do, Spice and Meat are two things that us Desi's can not ignore. Sometimes the craving is so bad that you would jump at any invitation that offers even the slightest prospects of some spicy food with meat.
Bundu Khan has always been a favorite among the Pakistanis with its unique flavors, mouth watering Behari Kababs and Nanns, no one would refuse an offer to eat out when the venue is Bundu Khan.
Imagine my surprise when i found a branch of Bundu Khan in USA, with the name Bundu Khan Kabab House, wedged between two shops, with the name written in bright red. I could feel good vibes emanating from the restaurant mixed with a spicy aroma. I had to go in and eat there.
Just like the exterior, the interior was simple with rows of plain dark brown tables, plain looking walls that were painted in brown color with a couple of wall hangings and wall mount fans here and there. The interior was dull to say the least. At the front of the dining hall, there was a similarly painted order counter where an old Pakistani man was busy taking orders from the customers.

Almost everyone in the restaurant, from the staff to the large number of people dining there, was Desi, Pakistanis and Indians. It was good to see so many people from my country at one place, all speaking Urdu and enjoying the Desi food and environment. Because of the dull interior, however, i was skeptical of the food at first, even though the large number of people that had come to dine their stated otherwise. I had to take my chances.
I finally placed my order at the counter and waited for them to bring the Behari kababs, Badshahi Haleem, roasted chicken and Lachcha parathas at my table. The smells coming from the kitchen at the back were divine. My tummy was grumbling. I drank the delicious Mango milkshake i had ordered while i waited and observed my surroundings. The Lachcha paratha and Behari kababs are believed to be one of their specialities and this proved correct once i tasted my food.

If you are against oily food or parathas with too much grease on them, the Lachcha parathas are not for you. You can order their delicious Tandoori Naans or Plain Tandoori rotis that are equally yummy. The combination of Lachcha paratha and Badshahi Haleem is divine. The meat, chicken and kababs were cooked with an amazing blend of spices. I kept on ordering more parathas and took what little i could not finish there back home with me.
I was surprised at the amount of food i had consumed and the vigir with which i had consumed it. I guess a place such as Bundu Khan can do that to you, prompting you to eat till you have no more room and motivating you to cone back for more.

The rates are reasonable too and they offer a variety of Daals with the Achaari Mash ki Daal being my personal favorite for people who do not want to eat meat.
I for one will definitely be visiting this place again to indulge myself in their amazing flavors and aromas and for once get the feeling of being at home.
