"This laid-back Piccadilly street food favourite has canteen and booth-style seating, and bespoke artwork nodding to Manchester’s industrial heritage.

An excellent beer list showcases local breweries."

"Bundobust is many things (craft beer haunt, Indian street food hangout, veggie restaurant) but it sells itself as a ‘beer and Indian joint’.

The food menu is all about vegetarian Indian street food."

"Decked out with kitsch Bollywood paraphernalia, join one of the long, shared dining tables in Bundobust’s basement dining room and prepare for an Indian street food feast. It’s hard to go wrong with the menu - but the Vada Pav burger was recently listed among the best in the world, and it's on the menu for just £5. 61 Piccadilly, Manchester M1 2AG / bundobust.com"
