Great Indian street food! - Edit
Bundobust is great as it is a bit different than your standard Indian, its street food, and its quick and its TASTY!!! They don't have your standard curry and rice and what they do is incredible. You HAVE to try the okra fries and Vada Pavings.
Read moreTheir beer selection is next level and their combos menu helps you try everything without the faff of having to choose what to actually eat, which is deffo the hardest part.
The decor is great and the service is always friendly.
The one down side is everything comes in single use containers, as is the cutlery.
Pros: Order and pay at bar, Super fast and fresh
Cons: Single use tableware

Crazy good - Edit
Nothing like your standard Indian restaurant. Staff are darlings and food is amazing. Had the vegan sharer for 2 and it was more than enough food for us both. Will always come back here when in Manchester.

Delicious - Edit
First time here today, everything is vegetarian and delicious. It was hard to chose, it all looked so good! Food is cheap and so can get a few different dishes to try between friends.
Read moreThe atmosphere is friendly and comfortable and the restaurant is clean.
Although everything is made from plants and renewable materials which are compostable, I wish food and cutlery was not single use. I think reusable crockery and cutlery would be better for the environment!
Pros: Lots of veg and vegan options, Cheap, Tasty food!
Cons: Single use pots and cutlery

Excellent casual Indian restaurant - Edit
One of Manchester’s best vegetarian restaurants.

Exciting and ever-changing food menu.
Craft beer menu is varied and exciting. All clearly labelled when vegan. Unfortunately a little expensive by comparison nearby bars, but balanced out by affordable food.
Pros: Lots of vegan options, Huge craft beer selection, Food is very affordable
Cons: Beers are a little overpriced

Authentic Indian tasting food - Edit
Loved this place!! Had a lovely vegan menu, I opted for the vegan tasting platter (or something along those lines) and got a great variety of food to taste everything. So much food we had to take some home with the staff were happy to pack up. Cool decor and on the casual side so great atmosphere. They also have loads of speciality tropical cocktails and beers. The okra fries are incredible!! Clearly labelled vegan options. Honestly can’t rate this place enough! Best Indian food I’ve had since I visited Sri Lanka.

Wonderful food & atmosphere. - Edit
First visit was flawless, super food, fair pricing, nice ‘old basement’ feel. Second visit, same great tasting food but was a tad in the cold side. Okra fries, amazing. Lots of vegan options. I’ve walked past this place for years and didn’t know it was there. Get there early or book !!.. they get busy quickly and turn lots away. Clean toilets.
Read morePros: Lots of vegan choices., Super tasty food., Very clean toilets.
Cons: Gets busy. Go early or pre book., No single tables. All communal bench seating., Single use plastic cutlery.

Great atmosphere, food and craft beers - Edit
The food was all great tasting and there was a variety of options to choose from. It’s great going somewhere vegetarian so that you can choose from the whole menu. I had Paneer and Mushroom Tikka which was beautifully spicy without being too hot. I also pinched some of my husband’s Okra Fries which were delicious. It was all washed down by On Fleek Stout. There are no shortage of different beers to try.

Vegetarian restaurant with lots of vegan options that were clearly labelled. Vegan sharing option for 2 is a good choice (around £22), lots of variety in tastes and texture. Lovely cocktails, informal canteen-like atmosphere.

Tasty - Edit
Vegan options were clearly labelled on the menu. I opted for the £7.50 lunch deal with okra chips (fabulous) and tarka dahl with rice (tasty and filling).
Read moreI had my food to take out but it seems that even if you eat in it comes in disposable packaging (albeit vegware) which seems a bit odd.
Pros: Tasty food, Good value lunch deal, Central location

Yummy dishes, great for sharing - Edit
Very cool location, tucked out of the way. Lovely staff and atmosphere. Good food, we recommend the tarka dhal. Good value and choice but could do with a few more vegan options (there is only one desert and it's not vegan). The waiter was exceptional (he told us to say that and it was true)!
Read morePros: Tasty , Fast friendly service, Cool
Cons: No vegan dessert

Good casual dining - Edit
I met a friend here and was surprised where it was, the entrance is small down some steps. The food was good, and my friend had a cocktail which used aquafaba which was impressive. All the packaging is veg ware but I do think environmentally this is not the best as an eat in establishment.
Read morePros: Lots of vegan options, Vegan cocktails
Cons: Rather eat from crockery or metal than disposable
