Tandoori Bar & Grill brings Rajasthani tandoor cooking to Karma Kandara in Ungasan
Chef Jeevraj Singh has opened a beachfront Indian restaurant at Karma Kandara, shifting from daytime street food to evening tandoor specialties for those seeking regional depth in Indonesia.
Tandoori Bar & Grill has opened at the Karma Kandara resort in Ungasan, Indonesia, operating daily from 11am to 10pm. Chef Jeevraj Singh leads the kitchen, delivering a menu that transitions from casual daytime street food to evening tandoor-focused dining. Between 11am and 5pm, the kitchen serves Indian street-food staples. Diners can order Pav Bhaji, Vada Pav, Paneer Chilli, and Chicken Tikka Kathi Rolls for a relaxed midday meal. As evening approaches, the clay ovens assume command. The dinner menu features tandoor-grilled specialties and generous sharing plates, including Mushroom Tikka, Lamb Seekh Kebab, and Chicken Tikka Kandhari served with a mild pomegranate-yoghurt sauce. The kitchen accommodates plant-based diners with smoky Baingan Bharta and classic Palak Paneer. Meat eaters are directed toward Butter Chicken or the slow-cooked Laal Maas mutton curry, supported by freshly baked breads, biryani, rice, raita, salads, and traditional desserts. Chef Singh’s culinary foundation was laid in his grandmother’s Rajasthan kitchen. His trajectory has since passed through royal palaces and international kitchens, including Karma properties in India and Germany, resulting in cooking grounded in homeland traditions while reflecting his travels. The venue occupies a beachfront setting, featuring a private members’ club area. Access to this exclusive space requires a complimentary Karma Club Guest Membership registration via the Karma Subito App, which bundles dining, beverage, and spa benefits. While specific menu prices and wine list details are absent from the current facts, the app-based membership model dictates the terms of entry and beverage access. The discerning diner must weigh the convenience of these bundled beverage benefits against the digital registration required before arrival. This opening signals a serious commitment to regional Indian cooking in Ungasan, moving beyond generic resort fare. For the diner willing to navigate the membership app, the promise of authentic Laal Maas and Rajasthani-rooted tandoor work on the beach makes the journey worthwhile.
