Bundobust Brewery

You walk into Bundobust on a Thursday night and the place is heaving with people who actually know their khichdi from their bhel. It's not fancy—exposed brick, communal tables, that brilliant chaos of a proper neighbourhood restaurant—but the energy is infectious. The kitchen's knocking out small plates of Gujarati street food that hit different: pani puri with actual finesse, dhokla that's fluffy and tangy, panipuri that builds properly. Then there's their own brewery operation running alongside, so you're drinking fresh Indian pale ales and experimental stuff designed to match the food. Prices sit around £12-18 for mains, which feels right for what you're getting.
