Bundobust brings its much loved Indo-Chinese specials back this February
5 months ago
Inspired by the fusion flavours of Kolkata’s Chinatown market, Bundobust brings together two of the UK’s favourite takeaway cuisines with their limited-edition menu specials..
It’s the eternal dilemma: fancy an Indian or a Chinese? But Bundobust makes that decision an easy one.
In the spirit of harmony, Bundobust is bringing the best of both together with the return of its limited-edition Indo-Chinese specials, launching on 16th February, just in time for Chinese New Year celebrations.
Inspired by the vibrant fusion food of Tiretta Bazaar – Kolkata’s Chinatown market – and echoing the culinary influence of the Silk Road, Indo-Chinese cuisine smashes together bold Desi spice with deep, rich umami flavours. Hugely popular across India, it already has a permanent place on Bundo’s main menu in the form of Gobi Manchurian – a certified fan favourite.

Returning favourites include the emperors of previous menus: Chinese chippy meets Bundo’s number one street food dish with Salt & Pepper Okra Fries, alongside one of the most requested dishes in their DMs – Sesame Gobi Toast. They’re joined by Egg Fried Rice and Miso Kheera, a Schezwan-style smashed cucumber salad that brings heat and freshness in equal measure.
There are two new specials on the line-up. The Bhutta 65 takes inspiration from the iconic South Indian 65 sauce, featuring babycorn pakoras tossed with Kashmiri chillis, soy, curry leaf and yoghurt. Meanwhile, the Manchow Momo Soup – created in collaboration with Tofoo – pairs handmade dumplings with a punchy hot and sour broth.
To match the menu, Bundobust has lined up drinks inspired by flavours from across the country. Bundobust Brewery is rebrewing Chokha – a 4.2% fruity & floral rice lager, crafted to balance the umami spice of the new dishes. There’s also a cocktail line-up featuring the Peach Oolong Punch, Five Spice Penicillin and an alcohol-free Mandarin Rickey. The Indo-Chinese specials is around for 5 weeks only, from Monday 16th February until Sunday 22nd March, served alongside Bundobust’s regular menu.
