Bundobust was born out of a collaboration between two Bradford boys, Mayur Patel and Marko Husak – the chef with generations of Indian food heritage, and the pioneering craft beer bar owner.

Combining their expertise through a series of pop-up events, Mayur and Marko spotted a demand for a contemporary update to the classic “beer and a curry”: authentic dishes, boundary-pushing beers, flavours and techniques overlooked in mass-market Indian food and brewing, all served in an informal bar setting.

After a series of pop ups the first Bundobust opened in Leeds in 2014, with Bundobust Manchester Piccadilly following in 2016, Bundobust Liverpool in 2019, and Bundobust Brewery opening it’s doors in 2021.

Critically acclaimed and widely regarded as a game changing enterprise within the independent food and drink industry, Bundobust has forged itself as a beacon of successful casual dining in the North; winning ‘Best Innovation’ at The Casual Dining Awards in 2024.

Sustainability is key to what we do: beers are brewed on a small scale using the best ingredients, cultural traditions mean all of our food is vegetarian (most of the menu can be made vegan).

Our street food roots let us originally discover vegware. A Bundo icon since the start, these little white pots are made of bagasse – reclaimed sugarcane which is totally compostable which helped to reduce our landfill contributions.

In 2024, we introduced our shiny new steel pots in all our restaurants, helping us further reduce our carbon footprint (and keep your food tasting even better.)
