“ Bundobust never fails to impress. The variety and quality of food is amazing and we thoroughly enjoy our visits. As a family of vegetarians and non-vegetarians everyone is always very satisfied with the dishes on offer. ”
“ Pretty good Vegetarian Indian Street food restaurant halfway down Bold Street. It's on the 1st floor, is really spacious and has a very comfortable layout. The staff are really friendly and helpful (not pushy). I didn't realise it was a Vegetarian until I saw the Menu but I 'chanced it' and the food was great I've been to a few Indian Street Food restaurants, and this restaurant was just as good Food was delicious, especially the Gobi Manchurian They have a great selection of Beers, I was pleasantly surprised at the variety available Well worth a visit ”
“ Had lovely lunch here for my husband’s birthday. Bundo chaat was both our favorite thing - totally unexpected but I still remember the taste. Everyone needs to try it! Also, their chai tea was a treat, and the servers were incredibly polite and pleasant. They only have vegetarian food, but we didn’t mind as there were a lot of dishes to choose from. Definitely worth a visit! ”
“ A great 'canteen' style Indian restaurant with craft beers. Very friendly staff, some of whom were wearing Black Flag inspired 'fried okra' T shirts (a great touch), and a very straightforward menu. We had the vegan set meal for two, and really enjoyed it; easily enough food, and very tasty and satisfying for two non vegans. Good beers too - we'll definitely be back! ”
“ Bundobust offers delicious Indian street food with a fully vegetarian menu, paired with a great selection of craft beers. The vibrant, canteen-style setting creates a lively atmosphere, and the service is friendly. Ideal for casual dining, it’s a must-visit for flavorful, meat-free dishes. ”
“ Bundobust is pure joy! A vibrant celebration of Indian street food that delivers bold, explosive flavors alongside an effortlessly fun atmosphere. Beyond vegetarian and vegan, there's something exciting for everyone, with plenty of gluten-free options to round out the menu. It's colorful, laid-back, and welcoming, making it the kind of place where you can settle in, take your time, and enjoy without feeling rushed. The dishes are packed with zing, spice, and creativity, each one a testament to how plant-based Indian food can be just as thrilling as its meat-heavy counterparts. The Bundobust’s award-winning brewery elevates the experience with an impressive selection of beers, ales, and ciders. The genius "rack of thirds" lets you sample a trio—perfect if you can’t decide. The only drawback? No vegan dessert option, which felt like a missed opportunity. But honestly, with everything else so knockout, it’s a small compromise in an otherwise stellar experience. ”
“ Bundobust Liverpool is a great spot for something different - Indian street food and craft beer might seem like an unusual mix, but it works! Their craft beer selection pairs surprisingly well with the bold spices. Laid-back vibes, great food, and good drinks - definitely worth a visit! ”
