What people say, in short
PIND is a pure vegetarian North Indian restaurant with several branches around Chennai, including Velachery, and many people recommend it — one calls it the best North Indian food they've had in the city, and one diner found the thali satisfying and good value. It also comes up as a vegetarian buffet option. The caveats: one diner found the food heavy on oil, several consider it pricey or average for what you pay, one had a poor meal at the Chrompet branch and will not go back, and another simply did not like it.
