Bundobust, Liverpool | review

Bold Street in Liverpool is home to some amazing food, and there's new eateries popping up all the time. One of the latest additions to Bold Street is the all-veggie Indian street food venue, Bundobust. I popped along to their press lunch to see what all the fuss was about...


A little bit about Bundobust

Bundobust currently have three stores: Leeds, Manchester and most recently Liverpool. The Leeds store was the first to open, back in 2014, 'inspired by the vibrant and varied street foods of India' - the dishes have their own modern twist, and there's plenty of craft beers to choose from to go alongside each item on the menu. Bundobust's menu is entirely vegetarian, and they offer many vegan options too.

I was lucky enough to be invited to the press lunch ahead of the Liverpool store opening, and I was treated to the most glorious food ever. I had the onion, broccoli and kale bhajis (£4.50, served with a tamarind & red pepper chutney) as well as the vada pav which is basically deep friend mashed potato in a burger with both red and green chutney, which will set you back £5.50 and make you fall in love. To drink I had a chai spiced cider, which was a bit sharp for me but still tasty. Honestly, I'm not good with spicy food but I really enjoyed everything I had for lunch - so flavoursome and perfectly cooked, and I'm still dreaming of the vada pav...


I also took home the paneer kadai, which is paneer cheese cooked with cinnamon, fenugreek, red pepper and tomato sauce served alongside bhatura which is a really soft bread. The curry was spicy but not too spicy and the paneer made a really good alternative to chicken. I'd brought it home and just microwaved it for a minute before tucking in, and it was perfect!

I'd really recommend Bundobust if you're looking for somewhere veggie - whether you are a vegetarian or whether you're just looking to substitute meat every so often. You don't need to compromise on taste to skip out on meat, and Bundobust is proof of that plus it's really affordable. With millennial pink walls and friendly staff, it's a winner for me. Liverpool's Bundobust is actually the only store of there three which is fully accessible, too - obviously this is good for the people of Liverpool, but it's a bit shit that the other two aren't accessible for everyone and that's the only downside I've found with Bundobust.
