Dishoom reviews

Of all the Dishoom locations in the city, this one is truly exceptional. The ambiance is remarkable and seamlessly merges with the consistently excellent food and service. Unique touches, like the original Thomas Crapper toilets, add to the …

Lovely place for Indian full English breakfast..Big Bombay. They added their own herbs to baked bean and scramble eggs and dress up with coriander. A bit different than the other restaurant. Very asian foods style of breakfast. We told …

Great place for lunch at the Kings cross branch. We had not booked and waited 15 minutes to be seated at the bar. Kyle looked after us and was knowledgeable about the dishes and was very polite and attentive. He also gave us a tour of the …

Had an enjoyable lunch at Dishoom. The maitre d came over once we sat down and went through the whole menu giving his feedback on the dishes and if they were
too spicy. This is something I have not experienced before but was a very …

The food was amazing as always, one of the best indian places in London!

Huge selection of veggie/chicken/lamb/prawn dishes, with sauces or grilled. …

Most fabulous experience ever!! My mom has limited mobility & they were extremely kind & accommodating for her. Even without that, we’d give it 5 stars! The food was incredible- such deep, rich flavors complemented with the brightness of …

Long wait, super busy, reservation is only for 6+ people. When you try the food, you will know why.
Amazing Indian food with authentic Indian spices and flavors. Everything on the menu is a Must-Have. More

My favourite Dishoom in London so far. 5 star service as always. I still have to try Shoreditch. The restaurant is in 4 levels and has an authentic ambiance. We ordered our favourite Vegan Bombay Breakfast! We tried Bloody Mary & Espresso Martini for the first time. Definitely had a kick! More

Went for breakfast whilst traveling for work. My work colleague would not stop talking about it and we went there. Oh my lord thank goodness we did. It’s so so good! The food is absolutely to die for. Never thought that poached eggs in a …

A great place for brunch. Nice spacious restaurant with excellent table service. Arranged over two floors. The food is delicious, nice naan breads, spicy chicken dishes to name but a few. Quite an unusual combo of sausage in naan bread, but …

We shamelessly visited this place for breakfast twice in a row because we were so delighted with the setting of the place and the delicious hearty breakfast. By the way, the house cha is to die for. It is so enjoyable to sip the spicy tea on a cold morning. And the best part is that it is refillable! More

Best meal I’ve had in London, hands down.

You have to come pretty early to avoid a wait, as the place fills up quickly …

Went here for a late lunch as a group of 13 without a booking and got in straight away. Nice decor and more importantly good food. We were bought the cook book and my husband has made the chai and the black lentils so had to try those. …

Wow! Food is definitely superb as they say, but forget being spontaneous with a walk in, table has to be reserved not less than a week in advance otherwise you won’t find any available. …

An extremely good breakfast, and really, really fantastic service. They were working on short staff, got me seated sooner than they said they could and really worked their tails off to make sure everything went well. Good service. Very good food too, and excellent value.

Not to miss.

We usually go for breakfast on the way home as it’s so close to Kings Cross …

A tasty Indian experience. -1 star for the service at the bar, but we had an amazing waitress during the dinner service. Whatever your order, the okra fries and the dahl are a great complement. Everything was really nice, cocktail menu included (loved the sours) and IPA More

The best meal ever! Wonderful staff took great care of us. So many layers of flavors in both dishes and drinks. Make sure to leave room for dessert. Wish I had room in the suitcase for the cookbook 😭Just a fabulous experience! …

A friend recommended Dishoom to me before I arrived in London, so I decided to celebrate my birthday there, and the food was every bit as wonderful as my friend told me it would be. My server Naomi was especially marvelous—she had so many …

Dishoom never disappoints. This is the 4th one I’ve been to and it’s still the best Indian food I’ve had in the UK. Its appreciated how regardless of their popularity, the service remains very friendly, customer centric and rapid as well. …

From the moment we walked in, we received excellent customer service from the bar staff downstairs, while waiting for a table. We enjoyed great cocktails/mocktails, before we enjoyed a delicious meal. The food was fresh and very tasty, …

Amazing customer service, delicious food and immaculate ambiance. Truly one of the best desi restaurants in the country. The extremely welcoming staff always take the experience to a whole new level. Highly recommended! More

I would add a 6th star for the service if it could!

One of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a while. The food was good for …

Believe the hype! Went to Dishoom with a group of 7 having been unable to unfortunately book a table. However, staff were accommodating and we were happy to wait, which took much less time than expected. Definitely recommend going in the …

Dishoom! The absolute chokehold this place seems to have on everyone is not completely unwarranted. It was among the best Desi food we had in London- and we had a lot of Desi food in London lol The concept, vibe, service, and food were all …

It’s my second time in less than 6 months at Dishoom as a visitor to London and I’m clearly a fan. The food and cocktails are stupendous, flavors abundant in every dish and service is exceptional. While there is a wait to get in, and …

Delicious, but ludicrously expensive. Two breakfasts and two drinks (albeit one was a cocktail) were £45.00. …

Wow. Truly one of the most beautiful restaurants I have ever eaten in, and a wonderful repurpose of old train facilities. But the breakfast was just as good. The bacon naan is worth all the hype and then some. You can taste how fresh the bread is. And the chai is so special- I had 3 plus cups without thinking. More

We’ve been a few times and always attentive and friendly staff, food is lovely and recommend the Chicken Ruby. Our 9 year old enjoyed exploring the flavours and our 5 year old found some food to enjoy too. I’d always recommend booking as we went for 2 and there was already a 90 minute wait. book to avoid disappointment More

Delicious food, good service. The one hour wait was half spent outside with complimentary refreshments of chai, and half inside at the bar, with cocktails whilst our table was being prepared. …

Went there without a booking and the waiting times weren’t bad. We got a table pretty quickly considering the place was packed. …

This is an incredible experience!
The place was packed on a Tuesday evening in a mid September rainy day! …

The staff is very accommodating, the ambience is fantastic, although a bit noisy and the restaurant is not very children friendly, specially if you have a pram with a toddler sleeping as there are many steps, so book it in the ground floor. …

This is one of my absolute favorite restaurants in London. Yes there will be a queue, but don’t be put off: it’s worth it (and they bring you small drinks while you wait). The vibe and decoration are so good, and so is the food (aromatic and tasty). More

Great experience here for a small birthday party. The food was delicious and the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere was also warm and welcoming. Do recommend if you don’t mind booking the table many days in advance as they are super popular!

Had wonderful evening with friends here. The place was packed as it was a Friday evening but somehow the atmosphere felt relaxed. Make sure you book in advance to avoid the long queue. …

Food is so good. Cocktails even better. Love the decor & the atmosphere of the place. The staff were very attentive. Can’t fault it at all

I’ve been here many times for food and always loved it.
This time I had breakfast and it was just FAB!
Food is so tasty, cooked perfectly and the staff were really friendly, helpful …

Best restaurant to have authentic Indian food. From Kheema pav to Biriyani everything was really Savory and spicy. Had to wait for one hour in a queue outside and half an hour inside in the lobby. Worth waiting for. Also the food costs are …

I went two Fridays in a row, both for their famous breakfast, both times excellent. Service was prompt, cheerfull as happy to accommodate my first-time friend. And very quick to keep our Chai glasses full. Food was excellent of course, you …

Superb. I’ve been lucky to try many Indian places (in and out of the UK) — but this one tops them all, by a mile. The food was outstanding: the black lentils are creamy and rich in flavour, it’s a pleasure to gauge on them. The kebab had …

The experience of having dinner at a very very busy indian restaurant at London was breathtaking. It took an hour to get seated. The drink’s alcoholic and teetotaler menu were quite interesting. …

Simply put, Dishoom emcompasses all of the elements that a great indian should have – from the tasty food, to the interesting drinks, great atmosphere and impeccable service. …

I love this place I’ve been a couple times and always recommend it when I can and plan to drag as many friends as I can here.
The ambiance here is great, the food delicious and the service very friendly. …

Not worth the hype. Nice food, but variable service. 4 star maximum.

Went on Saturday evening with no reservation, queued for about 40 mins – …

Amazingly brilliant, lovely smiling staff, great food options, lovely ambiance, awesome location.. loved everything about this place. The unlimited Chai is just wonderful.. they’ve fantastic menu options, both for breakfast and lunch. Tasted both in last 3 days and enjoyed both visits. More

Dishoom is always a ( Perfection ) , it’s next to no competitors , a class of its own , a level of quality and service that can not be easily defeated, I love this place and no matter how many other high end Indian restaurants I tried , I …

Great experience. We ordered the Bhel, the pineapple tikka, the house chaat, the vada pau, naan and roti. The best ones were the pineapple tikka and the house chaat. The service is good and after you’ve ordered it doesnt really take long to …

Loved the ambience and the deliberate aesthetics chosen. The meals and drinks we had were great and of course the services were equally great. …

It’s pretty famous restaurant. I had it four years ago at another location. However, this time one dish is kind of salty. Other than that, everything is good, especially the lamb chop. More

This is my second time at Dishoom (went previously to another branch), and I can still confirm that this is 100% worth it.
Everything from the service to the quality of food was perfect. We booked a …

Great experience. Customer service is excellent. Staff strive for excellence.

Don’t be shy to be honest in your feedback. They appreciate it and go out their …

Amazing food and service!

I had heard many amazing things about Dishoom and it was all true!. We had The …

Our second experience in another Dishoom restaurant, and we were looking forward to it as we went directly after taking the Eurostar from Paris, and it did not disappoint ! Staff was very nice, food and beverages good like the other …

Came with my friends for dinner and we had a great time with delicious food. We ordered Pau Badjhi, Lamb samosas, chicken curry and a chocolate pudding dessert. I loved the flavors, just don’t recommend the chocolate pudding, was a bit …

Amazing place with truly delicious and flavorful dishes. The murgh malai, black daal, mutton pepper fry are especially good, and I discovered the paper-thin, perfect for hand-picking roomali roti. …

Absolute must visit when in London. The entire evening was executed perfectly. When you get in line outside your name is out down on the wait list. Then drinks are given to you outside. We were told a 45 minute wait. After about 5 minutes …

The vibe is just great. I was there by myself and the person on the bar was amazing company. I had Bombay colada drink which was fantastic, lamb samosas which were good and pao bhaji which was average. Overall 10/10 experience, will recommend! More

Great experience. Sat down with a group of 3 for breakfast yesterday & had a top meal. A good variety of dishes to suit most people available & the chais are unlimited refills. Would highly recommend The Big Bombay for an Indo-British fry …

Phenomenal service as usual. Came by for breakfast and has the Keema pav, the naan stuffed with sausage and bacon and a double bacon naan. Coupled with the bottomless chai made for a very wholesome breakfast. …

We were first seated in the downstairs area. When we found it a bit noisy and asked if we could change seats, the staff were really accommodating and moved us upstairs. The food was great as usual.

Always go for the mutton pepper fry. It’s such a rich tender delicious curry. It’s soo different to anything Iv ever tasted.
Dishoom never fails to impress, would highly recommend for dining alone or with …

It’s a perfect package in terms of an indian restaurant, everything is amazing be it Staff behaviour or the ambience. I loved the quotes written all over. Lot of indianness. Now coming to the taste of dishes, it felt really great..like …

Some people have mixed reviews over this but it’s only because it depends on your taste for Indian/Iranian fusion but this is Bombay inspired dishes. I can assure you the food quality was 9/10 delicious! They do have two sets of menu (halal and non-halal) for breakfast and after 12pm lunch menu is completely halal (apart from alcohols) More

Great lunch experience. Highly recommended to book in advance (we did), else be prepared for a long wait even for weekday lunch.
Very friendly staff, will offer to explain the menu and recommend dishes… …

“Thank you so much for the great service we received for my partners birthday meal! You guys made sure we had everything and honestly it made my girlfriends day!! The breakfast was high quality and came out to us very quickly!! Now we are …

Food and atmosphere were great. Portions of some dishes were a little on the small side (I got through two mains on one visit, no problem), but others are good (the lamb shank + sheeps brain was gorgeous and hearty). Flavours are excellent.

Amazing food and attention to detail, our server was full of insights and suggestions whilst engaging us throughout the meal, despite how busy Dishoom was.
Food comes out as it is ready. Rather than all at once, so you’re guaranteed to …

This restaurant offers an excellent selection of Indian street food. The menu offers great choice of vegetarian and vegan options, the menu is pleasingly varied making it a place you definitely want to come to many times. The restaurant is …

Excellent food and drinks. The warehouse setting is also really unique. I really liked my house black dahl paired with the tandoori roti. Would love to try other vegetarian items next time!!

Incredible, and a must of you’re in town!
Staff are amazing and welcoming, food is delicious and the whole experience was great. They can cater for gluten free too! A somewhat limited menu for GF, but otherwise amazing! Booking a table is HIGHLY recommended, as the queue can be pretty big. More

Second time here and just as good as the first. The staff are so friendly and overall a good experience. The pina colada they do (colombo colada or something on those lines) is probably one of the best cocktails I’ve had in a while. Id recommend getting the chicken ruby curry, house black daal and the chicken/paneer wraps. More

First time having Indian food at a restaurant in London (usually making it at home) and pleasantly surprised by the tasty vegan menu full of options. Chole puri was a generous serving on the spicy side and very hearty. Puri’s were light and …

Went there for dinner with my girl. When you enter the restaurant a cloud of oriental smell of incense sticks opens up your senses for this dark and cozy place. The food was great and flavourful, but I wouldn’t recommend the Lassis – they were a little tasteless.

Insanely cool atmosphere with the incense and spice smell in the air. Delicious food, with excellent and prompt service. Chili chicken starter and lamb chop main were especially good.

Another great dining experience at Dishoom King Cross.Enjoyed food and service. Highly recommended. Thank you for a lovely gesture due to our anniversary.

Always a nice experience Dishoom this time was the first time in the king’s cross branch and I liked the bar area not much the middle floor or the basement floor as too dark. Yes top floor and bar area for me! …

An excellent and memorable experience at Dishoom. Although I had already had breakfast at the hotel, the chai, the bun, and the overall atmosphere at Dishoom is not to be missed. A good friend from London said this was the only option for …

I would say this is the best branch of the franchise by far.
Came here for breakfast. The staff were very understanding as we were running late, although we did ring them in advance to let them know. …

Come early to get a seat as Dishoom is super popular even though this place is huge! We ordered the Bacon🥓 with Naan and the Sausage & Egg with Naan with a side of the masala beans and everything was delicious! We also got the Chai tea …
