Bundobust Birmingham opens this week

Indian street food and craft beer specialist Bundobust opens its new Birmingham restaurant at 38 Bennetts Hill on Friday (2 June). 

Bundobust Birmingham is housed in a beautiful Grade II listed building, split across two floors. The restaurant has an intimate, pub-like feel, with communal bar seating, cosy corners and snug semi-private spaces. The Bundobust team have lovingly exposed and restored the building’s Georgian features and architectural charm – think exposed brick, sash windows and a winding central staircase. 

On the menu, guests can look forward to Bundobust’s award-winning street food and craft beer, described by food critic Jay Rayner as “uncompromising and self-confident and, above all else, clever”. Menu staples and guest favourites include Bundo Chaat (layers of samosa pastry, chickpea, potato, onion, sev and chilli sauce, served with yoghurt and tamarind chutney), Vada Pav (the iconic street food staple – deep-fried mashed potato ball in a bun, with red and green chutneys, served with fried green chilli), Egg Bhurji (Cumin and green chilli-spiced scrambled eggs, with green peas and coriander, served with bhatura) Gobi Manchurian (an Indo-Chinese mash-up of cauliflower and mushroom pakoras tossed in an umami-hot sauce) and Paneer Kadai (Paneer cheese simmered in a rich mixed pepper and tomato sauce with onions, deggi mirch and kasturi methi, served with bhatura). All dishes are priced between £2.50 and £7.50, with chef’s choice combos starting from £31 for two people, as well as the Lunch Express menu (available Mon–Fri, 12pm–4pm) offering two dishes for £9.

On the taps, guests will find Bundobust’s own beers from the Manchester brewery, alongside the very best local craft brews and innovative styles from breweries around the world. Bundobust Birmingham’s opening tap line-up will feature collaborative brews with Thornbridge and Brum-based Attic Brew Co. Beyond beer, Bundobust offers cocktails with an Indian twist (think Banana & Cardamom Old Fashioned and Coconut & Mango Mojito), plus wines, chai and softs, including lassis, coolers and sodas.
