Very good food! - Edit
I love that everything is vegetarian but I do wish there were more authentic vegetarian options as Indian food is very vegetarian friendly.

Tasty Indian street food - Edit
Bundobust is a real treat if you like Indian street food & good beer. Their menu is 100% vegetarian with lots of clearly marked vegan choices. I visited midweek and it had a relaxed vibe, though according to some reports it may be louder at weekends. You must try the okra fries - they are a revelation! The vada pav is really good too but be sure to specify that you want it vegan!
Read morePros: Good food, Good beer, Good times

Most dishes are vegan - Edit
Loved this place, food was great, probably better with more people as they have a few sharing options which based on what I had must be gorgeous

Too loud, too pricey, food just above average - Edit
OK, the food is v quick and isn't at all bad, but it's pretty expensive. The beer is abundant, but the music IS SO LOUD IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO TALK. I can see why people give this 5 stars, but for me... too salty, uncomfortable and not a place to relax.

Really good food and beer - Edit
Booked here before going to a gig for a couple of beers and food. Very impressed with the number of vegan options with some of them vegan on request. Loved the vada pav and okra fries. Massive selection of beers clearly labeled vegan. Would definitely come here again.

I’ve been going there for over 5 years and must’ve visited over 30 times! One of the best veggie/vegan eateries in Manchester. Although it’s not exclusively vegan, there is a load of brilliant vegan dishes - all with fantastic taste.
Read moreThe okra fries are at the top of my list and I’d also add the Bhel puri but in truth, it’s all brilliant.
Whoever I take with me to bundobust, loves it, irrespective of their food preference. It’s simply wonderful. To add to the food there’s a cool vibe and a great range of home-brewed beers.
Pros: Very very tasty dishes, Great range of beers, Cool vibe

Fabulous place - Edit
We have visited the "other" Bundobust in Manchester (below Max Spielmann on Piccadilly gardens), the one in Leeds and the one in Liverpool. A trip to Manchester is not the same without a trip to Bundobust.
Read moreWe were catching a train back home from Oxford Road (which is a few minutes walk away, lots of buses stop close too) - we decided in advance what to order (menus are on-line), so order at the bar as soon as we arrived, and it was brought to us very quickly and was hot and tasty as always. We had also let them know we would have luggage and children so we were given low seats and at the back so our cases and bags didn't get in the way.
My son loves the Tarka Dahl and I love the Okra fries which are a bit different and very more-ish.
I would prefer if they used washable dishes (more due to the waste) but this is a minor point. We didn't try the beer as catching umpteen trains requires a clear head, but there's plenty of choice. Vegan items are clearly marked on the menu, and there is more than enough choice (some items are veggie).
We will definitely be visiting again when we visit. Just got to try the one in Birmingham now!
Pros: delicious food, very quick service, good choice for vegans
Cons: single-use serving dishes

Amazing food - Edit
We had the vegan sharing meal, so much food! We ordered a rice and a bread, we didn’t need to. One of the dishes comes with bread and the rice didn’t add anything to the meal and wasn’t needed. What we had could easily have served 3. Great selection of beers too and a really nice atmosphere. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
Read morePros: Okra fries , Dahl, Beer
Cons: It was a lot of food so order wisely!

Great food, great location - Edit
We had lunch here over a weekend. We had the tarka dhal, ragdha pethis and okra fries. Everything was absolutely delicious - the okra fries were probably a bit of an over order but they were amazingly crispy and well flavoured.
Read moreGreat service, really buzzy atmosphere and great music too.
Highly recommended.
Pros: Location, Great food, Great atmosphere

Bollywood or Bust - Edit
After trying the one in Leeds my friends brought me to this one, we had the same things except for the drinks. The vegan set for 2 & the dahl were enough for the 3 of us. If I was still in Manchester this would be a regular place for me.

Fantastic - Edit
We loved the 6 dishes we chose between the 2 of us and loved the concept of having their own brewed beers to go with it, all clearly marked if vegan on the chalkboard. The spice levels in the food were great. We chose 3 from the usual menu and 3 from the Indo Chinese menu. It is a vegetarian place, so all the vegan options are labelled clearly and plenty to choose from. Really good tasty food, all bowls scraped clean and just enough to fill us. The okra fries are amazing, as was the tofu Indo Chinese dish. Exceptional cocktails to finish the meal off after a couple of beers. It's a really great place. No photos as we were too busy enjoying the food. The staff were super friendly and kept everything going with such a flow of people coming in.

Lots of choice - Edit
Great flavours and a vast menu! My fave was the tarka dahl and I love the bhajis! The food is great although it’s a little expensive - maybe £1-2 per dish too much. It’s great to get a couple at least though so you try everything, so maybe go for a combo.

Delicious! - Edit
I went when they had the October menu and everything was delicious! Check the prices on some of the 'deals' though - the October one was only £1 cheaper than buying it all seperately.

Really tasty dishes - Edit
There's something for everyone here! Not everything is vegan, but the majority is so it's hard to pick just a few dishes! The okra chips are particularly amazing! There's also a huge selection of beers to accompany your meal. Really recommend this place and the service was great! You can order from your table too, so you can be as lazy as you like 😜
Read morePros: Lots of vegan options, Good beer selection , Good service
Cons: Communal seating (if that's your thing!)
