Spice up lunch at Bundobust:

Situated at the side of Mill Hill, Bundobust is one of the top names in Indian cuisine – boasting a recommendation in last year’s Michelin Guide, Time Out’s top 10 Indian Restaurants in the UK and The Sunday Time’s Top 25 Vegetarian Eateries, to name but a few.

Inspired by the vibrant and varied street foods of India, Bundobust serve up dishes with their own modern twist and do it seriously well. Favourites include the okra fries and idli sambhar, which are steamed rice dumplings, lentil soup and coconut chutney – the perfect way to refuel midway through the day.

Note that if you’re out and about with a Black Card at Bundo and order your food from midday to 5pm from Sunday to Thursday, you can get a sweet 10% off. Nice!
