Amazing Service and food! The ambience and traditional setup that the restaurant brings in is unparalleled! Loved it! Would recommend anyone visiting.

It's good, not great indian food. The ruby chicken curry is their best dish (basically butter chicken, slightly spicier). This is a good place to take a tourist (especially with their bottomless house chai), but it feels silly to come here often for good indian food when brick lane is right there. People love the black daal & lamb chops, but I don't get it. Neither were special. The veranda is very beautiful to sit in though!

At least five of my friends recommended dining at Dishoom in London, so I made a reservation for the Shoreditch location the week before my trip. Since I visited around the holidays, I reserved the Winter Feast meal, which included a 3-course prix fixe menu. The first course included: new keema pau (similar to a lamb "sloppy joe"), okra fries, and bhel (puffed rice dish). Everything was excellent - I especially loved the festive touches of pomegranate that topped the bhel puri. The second course included: sheekh kabab, paneer curry, biryani, black daal, fresh vegetables, raita, and naan. Everything was superb; however, the meat dishes were quite heavy, and we couldn't finish everything (as hard as we tried). The standout for me was the paneer - I sopped up every ounce of sauce with the naan. For dessert, we had a choice among three flavors of kulfi pops, which were a sweet and refreshing way to end the meal. The food and service was overall excellent, although the restaurant itself was too dark and noisy to have a conversation with the people at my table. The food was worth a second visit, and perhaps we'd try another one of Dishoom's locations.

Fantastic. I understood from the first bite why everyone who has spent any amount of time in London recommends this place. Breakfast here alone was worth the airfare from NYC. We basically opened the place up for breakfast. We came directly from LHR airport, luggage in tow, before even checking in to the hotel. Absolutely starving. The Wrestler's Naan was exquisite--saucy and creamy yet smoky and packed with meats. It has had my taste buds in a chokehold since. I *literally* needed to remind myself to breathe halfway through. And if I had asphyxiated between bites, I assure you that I would have died happy. The Big Bombay was also phenomenal. A fun and flavorful spin on the English breakfast. As an American, I did not understood the English breakfast until devouring this version. Each individual component was excellent but it all came together like, I don't know, One Direction?And I'd be hard-pressed to pick a Harry Styles. Bite to bite, I'd be convinced it was sausage one moment, eggs the next, and in another, the BEANS. I've always been perplexed by the inclusion of baked beans on a breakfast platter but here--perhaps because they were some of the best baked beans I have ever had--it finally made sense. Thank you, Dishoom, for opening my eyes (via my taste buds) and teaching me to appreciate British culture. And thank you to literally all of my friends who recommended Dishoom to me. I can only hope this review does the same and encourages you, the reader, to partake in this delightful, British patriotism inducing breakfast.

Dishoom is a must stop if you're visiting London. Their menu is loaded to the brim with various selections and it is recommended that your group share a few dishes. Unfortunately, dishoom does not have a full service menu at the bar, so make sure to put your name on the list. I was able to enjoy their chicken Ruby, which is one of their signature dishes. I also paired the entree with garlic naan. You have to order the naan separate here! The dish was perfect for one person, although I probably could've eaten a second one. Who's to judge (haha). What I enjoyed the most about this restaurant was the atmosphere- they were burning incense and you also got to take a look in to the kitchen (if you go downstairs)

There isn't much I can add about Dishoom that hasn't already been said. As a huge fan of Indian food, I can honestly say I haven't had better. The food was exceptional--aroma, flavors, spice levels, portions; everything was perfect. While visiting London, a local friend invited me to Dishoom, knowing how much I love Indian cuisine. We arrived on a Sunday afternoon around 5PM, and the place was already packed. They don't take reservations for dinner unless you're a large group, but trust me, the wait is worth it. They have a fantastic bar where you can grab drinks while you wait for a table (they give you buzzers). I tried the Negroni and another tequila-based cocktail (sadly I can't remember the name), and both were phenomenal. Shared plates are definitely the way to go at Dishoom. We ordered the gunpowder potatoes (incredible), an appetizer with potatoes and pineapple (not my favorite; the pineapple threw me off), monkfish curry (amazing), and chicken curry. It was a lot of food for just two of us, but I couldn't stop eating. I seriously wanted to bottle up that sauce! The service was surprisingly impeccable, especially considering how busy they were. We ended up spending about £110 for an incredible dinner, and we nearly couldn't finish everything. Lastly, the ambiance! Inspired by Iranian cafes in India, the atmosphere at Dishoom is eclectic. I loved the dim lighting, unique decor, and the lively pace of the restaurant.

When I was in London, many local and foreign friends recommended Dishoom as a must-try for Indian cuisine. I went to the CBD location near Liverpool station around 8 pm and waited over 30 minutes because it was so busy. The receptionist didn't communicate clearly, but once we sat down, the service improved. The food was very tasty and authentic. However, my stomach didn't handle it well the next day...

I know it is not authentic Indian food but this place is literally perfection. Top notch service, well curated drinks, great food and good for every type of occasion. The Ruby chicken will forever be my favorite, it is basically their take on tikka masala. So rich and creamy pairs beautifully with the rice and naan. It was my first time having their samosas, not traditional it's presented in smaller phyllo triangle shape. Still very good and flavorful. 3 was definitely a smaller app, I could eat 10 of those. My waitress was phenomenal she got me in and out. They don't do reservations so expect to wait a bit. Best to do an early or late dinner. This is ultimately my petition to get Dishoom to NYC!
