TOO MUCH SPICY
INDIAN STREET FOOD & CRAFT BEER
December 2016 saw Leeds’ critically acclaimed ‘beer & Indian’ joint open its doors in Manchester. In a basement on Piccadilly, Bundobust is a stone’s throw from the city’s independent Northern Quarter. We’ve brought our award-winning recipe for success over the Pennines, and are quickly ranking as one of the city’s best casual dining restaurants.
What we do is simple – Gujarat-inspired street food and the world’s best craft beer, from both local and international breweries.
Jay Rayner, the Observer’s food critic, reviewed the restaurant just months after opening, and we think he puts it best: “vibrant Indian street food served with craft beer in a friendly communal space…Why has no one done this before?”
It's the most Bundo-ful time of the year!
Bundo's Christmas Specials are back for 2019, and it sees the return of some old favourites; our now legendary Sprout Bhajis, and the Festive Curry.
This year also sees our first foray into the world of Christmas Sandwiches, with the Sprout Bhaji Butty. A crispy Sprout Bhaji patty is served with fresh dressed salad, red onion, Desi-style cranberry chutney and our signature green chutney all in a brioche bun.
As with our standard Bhaji Butty, we're donating £1 from the sale of every Sprout Bhaji Butty to our Charity Partners, which you can find out more about on our blog.

So you've been put in charge of organising the works Christmas do. Sorry to hear that. The way we see it, you've got two options.
a) Spend the next two months emailing Keith from accounts to ask if he wants paté or prawn cocktail, or
b) Tell us how many people you're bringing and let us put on a Festive Feast including Christmas specials, classic sharing dishes, and a welcome drink and snacks. Leaving you free to dream about paneer and Christmas party snogs
From November 18th - December 24th, the Bundobust Festive Feast is available to groups of 8+
Priced at £17.50 per head, everybody in your party will get a welcome drink (1/2 pint of lager, Bombay Dazzler, or Northern Monk Eternal, 125ml house wine, or selected soft drink) and snacks, followed by a procession of dishes served feast-style, working out at three dishes per person. There's plenty of Sprout Bhajis and Festive Curry to go around, as well as favourites from our standard menu including Okra Fries, Bhel Buri, Bundo Chaat, Gobi Manchurian, Vada Pav, Ragda Pethis, Massala Dosa, Egg Bhurji, Cole Saag, Paneer Tikka, Paneer Kadai, and Pav Bhaji.

From November 1st - January 31st we're working with organisations in each city that tackle homelessness and promote and enable independent living.
In Leeds, we're working with Canopy Housing.
Canopy is a small organisation based in Harehills. We believe everyone deserves a safe home and the opportunity to find work.
Working alongside our volunteers, people at risk of homelessness transform empty, run-down properties into homes which they get to move into, for as long as they wish. This Self-Help is at the heart of what we do.
Volunteers and Self-Helpers get the chance to learn construction skills, build confidence, uplift the local community, and improve their chances of finding work all whilst helping eradicate homelessness.
