Sunday lunchtime @ 1:30pm My first time trying Bundobust; I’m aware that this is a chain restaurant with several in many cities (2 apparently in Manchester alone, though this one doesn’t have the brewery!) Wasn’t expecting such a unique and ‘street food’ vibe as you walk down the stairs to this venue. Was promptly sat down albeit alongside a bench of other diners; street food style, I guess? I wasn’t expecting an order-at-the-bar setup but it was all pretty straightforward. Provide table number, order food and drink and wait for the drinks to take back to the table. The beer was good! The Bundobust own Python is refreshing with a hoppy, sweet aftertaste. The food arrived around 20 mins after ordering and everything was provided on paper bowls/plates for that authentic street food feel. The taste of the dishes were really good, the portions were a little lacking but I would say it opens up for you to try different things. It’s more like Indian tapas and they encourage you to order 2-3 dishes each. The paneer tikka was really good with the paneer having a bite to it, without crumbling away. It’s skewered with mushrooms and peppers but would have liked to see more variety of vegetables in it! The Chole Saag was nicely spiced and they recommend to pair it with the Cobis nu Shack, which was a cold vegetable dish akin to slaw with some vinegar acidity and sweetness from white raisins. The highlight of the meal was the Bhaji’s (and Bhaji burger!) which were very well seasoned and perfectly fried with little ‘oily’ residue you get often with them. I only dock a star as the service was very aloof and would have been nice to have been given a ‘thank you, goodbye!’ as we left. It seemed they wanted to just get the tables cleaned and rotated for the next customer! EDIT: 22/08/2024 - They have upgraded their paper containers to metal! The dishes now look extra fancy with their etched ‘Bundobust’ signature on the metal bowls.

We had an amazing time, and I highly recommend having food and drinks here! The staff were brilliant and so efficient, and took the time to chat us through the menu, and were very helpful with my sister who has various food allergies. The menu is absolutely fantastic, with so many delicious options, and all of it is vegetarian and all but one dish I believe is egg free. Intolerances/allergies are also marked in the menu. We ordered so much it’s hard to say what we had! The onion bhajis, the paneer kadai curry and the paneer tikka kebabs were my favourite. The bundo chaat was also a hit with our group (a bit like nachos). I really loved the bhatura naan-bread-type-thing that came with some of the dishes, and I know most people won’t go wild and order sticks of cucumber, but the ‘smacked khakri’ was delicious and I felt sad that everyone wanted to have some! It’s thick batons of pickled cucumber that was crunchy and delicious and flavoursome. My group of 6 ordered mostly the beers, of which there is heaps to choose from. I ordered their ‘Nimbu Pani’ Indian Lemonade which is delicious - and is flavoured with cumin and salt, and it really worked! Place was clean, food delicious, service very speedy, such a beautiful venue, and the food is perfect for sharing. They also do some combo menus if you don’t know what to order.

I had been looking for places to eat around Manchester Piccadilly and decided to go to Bundobust. This was my first time there, and it wasn't easy to locate, because it's underground. It's right there in front of you, but I couldn't really locate it, had to ask a neighbouring shop. The interior decor is wonderful and the setting is warm and cosy. I had to order at the counter and food was served at the table. It was quick service. I ordered the bundo chaat, masala dosa, pav bhaji, the Chinese special egg fried pilau rice and mango lassi. The bundo chaat was amazing. That's the best dish among my orders. I'd definitely go back for it. The pilau rice was good as well. The mango lassi was also exquisite. Did not much links the masala dosa. The curry with the dosa would have been a lot better if the texture was thicker. It was more like a plain soup, and even the taste wasn't great. There was a cauliflower and carrot bhaji within the dosas which was ok. The pav bhaji wasn't great either. The pav/bread was ok, but did not enjoy the curry at all.

I’ve seen this chain pop up throughout the UK and i thought it was time to try it out. Myself and my partner decided to try out their express lunch menu which consisted of the choice of 2 dishes (each) out of 8 options. The options we went for were Sprout Bhajia (christmas menu), Bundo Chaat, Raghda Pethis and Chole Saag. We also ordered the Vada Pav. However, I wouldn’t of recommended the Vada Pav as it was wayyyyyy too salty. The options on the express menu were really nice. The Sprout Bhajia was better than i expected, crispy and super flavourful. The Bundo Chaat was quite surprising aswell - I’m used to chaat being quite soggy once the yogurt is layered ontop but the samosa pastry was still crunchy and flaky. The Chole Saag was very similar to normal Chole Bhatura, I didn’t see much saag in it. It was very rich in flavour though. The Raghda Pethis was okay. Nothing to write home about. Overall, I’m pleasantly impressed. I would revisit in the spring or summer where they’ve added new items so I could try more seasonal items.

Bundobust is one of those places where you go hoping for some nice food and but end up walking back home not just with nice food , but also amazing beer making a merry with food in your tummy! They have a variety of Indian flavoured beers for you to try , all from £7-£11 ! They are very upfront right before you order telling you to order more since the quantity served is less. It makes absolute sense since they are more focused in quality over quantity , and in all due respect your taste buds can’t thank them enough for it. Their fritters are an absolute must , and so is their vadapav to fill you up nice. And pick any beer from the counter , and you can’t go wrong there, since almost 2-3 ones I tried were perfect for me. Also a good place to go on a date , with nice vibes. Ensure to get a reservation on weekends to avoid rushes :)
