A newcomer to Manchester, but a firm favourite in neighbouring Leeds for some years now, Bundobust expertly combines Indian street food with craft ales, drawing in both foodies and beer lovers. Entering through a small doorway on Piccadilly, you’ll be blown away when you step into the gigantic light-filled basement restaurant and realise that you can order everything on the menu for just £66. There’s a very casual vibe here, going up to the bar to order your food which arrives at the table in paper pots, but it works.

Down some steps just off Piccadilly Gardens is this informal restaurant serving Indian street food and craft beer. The feel is relaxed – you’ll share long bright orange padded benches and turquoise tables with fellow diners, have to order from the bar and food is served in paper dishes with plastic cutlery. But the food on the entirely vegetarian menu is top-class as are the restaurant’s own beers, which bartenders will gladly recommend to complement your food.

When you can't get a table somewhere that you’ve never heard of because the people who’ve managed to get in keep going back again and again, it’s time to up your eating-out game. This is what happened when Bundobust arrived in Manchester and it hasn’t let up. This is the best Indian street food in the city – the menu is entirely vegetarian or vegan, and the combo platters are tremendous.

Given that the makings of the hugely successful brand started with a simple tweet back in 2013, who’d have thought that Bundobust’s crowd-pleasing offering would now be a city-wide operation - with Piccadilly and now Oxford Street’s brewery slinging out bhajis, okra fries and chaat left, right and centre - not to mention branches in Liverpool and its birthplace of Leeds. Bundobust serves vegetarian and vegan dishes inspired by the street food of Gujarat in India as well as pale ales, pilsners and porters brewed from scratch in the bubbling tanks of its Oxford Street brewery and taproom. And, for a limited time, Bundo is collaborating with the hugely popular Meatless Farm to bring vegan versions of classic meat-based curries and kebabs to the menu.

What: Bundobust’s offering is simple: Gujarat-inspired vegetarian street food and cracking craft beer in a friendly, communal setting. The spacious restaurant near Manchester city centre features canteen and booth-style seating, plenty of natural light from a huge skylight, and an informal menu full of moreish Indian dishes. Familiar favourites, such as masala dosa, tarka dhal and pav bhaji are joined by on-trend small plates including onion, broccoli and kale bhajis, egg bhurji (Indian scrambled eggs), and okra fries, while drinks range from aforementioned craft beer to wine, cocktails and warming house chai.

Mayur Patel’s family has been cooking some of Britain’s best meat-free Gujarati food for several decades at Prashad restaurant in West Yorkshire. The Bundobust co-owner continues that work in this basement canteen on Piccadilly, where next-level chaat, chole saag, tarka dal, vada pav (the Indian veggie burger) and Bundo’s own bhaji butty are served in street food-style pots alongside A1 craft beers. Bundobust’s taps now feature hazy pale Peela and chai porter Chaitro – the first releases from its new brewery on Oxford Road, which should open to the public in late August.

Bundobust is a vegetarian and vegan street food sensation that combines Indian flavors with craft beer culture. Located in Piccadilly Gardens, this bustling eatery offers a menu filled with creative and flavorful dishes such as “Vada Pav” and “Tarka Dhal.” The restaurant’s interior is a vibrant blend of modern design and Indian motifs, creating a lively and sociable atmosphere. Bundobust’s extensive craft beer selection, paired with their innovative street food, makes it a must-visit for those looking to explore the intersection of Indian cuisine and craft beer culture.

Pairing craft beer brewed at its own Oxford Street taproom with the Gujarati cookery perfected at its predecessor Prashad, Yorkshire import Bundobust has become a firm favourite with Mancunians since opening its first outpost here on Piccadilly. The street snacks served here are all vegetarian, many vegan and/or gluten- free and every one excellent. If you try only one, make it the vada pav, a crisp, deep-fried ball of mashed potato sandwiched inside a brioche bun and slathered with spiky coriander and chilli chutney.

Arriving on Piccadilly Gardens in 2016, this casual, canteen-style celebration of Gujarati cuisine has been a revelation. With a menu that is quite literally all bangers, Bundo has firmly entrenched itself into the Manchester dining scene as a place to meet, eat and be merry – thanks in no small measure to co-founder Marko’s brewing chops and curation behind the bar. The Bundo Chaat is the stuff of legend, and those okra fries… Every city should have one (and we have two, with the Bundobust Brewery on Oxford Street).

But when Bundobust turned up in Manchester with a fully vegetarian street-food menu (over half of the main dishes are vegan) the impact billowed out across the city and menus started changing and adapting. You can now pick up creative vegan dishes at Indian restaurants across the city, particularly at places like Mowgli, Indian Tiffin Room and Dishoom (see below). But the combination of Gujurat-inspired food with some of the best Northern craft beer remains, as a concept, utterly compelling.
