Popular Asian-inspired foodie hotspot Bundits announces shock closure as loyal customers left 'gutted'
Bundits first launched in 2020 and became popular with customers during lockdown
Owners of the popular Edinburgh restaurant Bundits have announced that it will be wrapping up business next month.
The award-winning Asian-inspired venue, which currently calls Edinburgh Street Food home, announced on social media that the business would be closing after “an incredible six years”.
The final day of trading will be on Sunday, May 10.
In a statement posted to social media, the restaurant owners told loyal customers: “We want to say a huge thank you to every customer who has supported us over the years, and to all of the amazing team members we have had the pleasure of working with along the way.
“A special thank you to Edinburgh Street Food for being our home over the last three years.”
Bundits has been a staple of the Edinburgh Street Food line up since 2023.
The restaurant quickly became a favourite on the local food scene after launching in lockdown in 2020, serving up delicious bao buns and sides to customers.
The first standalone venue, named ‘Bundits of Leith’, opened on Constitution Street in 2021 before closing two years later and making a move to Edinburgh Street Food as a pop-up.
The restaurant also operated a pop-up stall at Fort Kinnaird.
Speaking about the closure, the Edinburgh Street Food team said: “Bundits will be so missed. Lots of love to an incredible vendor and team.
“Gone but not forgotten, living on in the ESF legacy forever.
“Wishing the Bundits teams all the very best for what’s next. Thank you for being part of the ESF journey over the last three years.”
Loyal Bundits customers are devastated by the news of the business’s closure.
One disappointed foodie said: “Gutted to hear this. I loved your restaurant and then followed you to ESF - I would look at every other menu and then inevitably just end up at Bundits, what will I do now? I’m sure this isn't the end for Bundits.”
Another added: “I still remember seeing a queue just outside my flat and joining no questions asked. Found a new favourite that day. I'm really sad to see you go. I'll stop in for a some food before you close up shop.”
