Fantastic Indian food . All of the grill menu is excellent, particularly the lamb chops . Restaurant decor is really interesting & staff are friendly . Hard to get a table @ dinner , lunch is much easier.

Alex Bosworth

Get the ruby chicken and dhal and greens. I would wait in line for it, why not? It’s very good and after you try it you can judge if it’s worth waiting in line again for later

Ish Rai

Third time here at the kingscross branch, and again it was amazing. Keema samosas , gunpowder potatoes , chicken and garlic naan ... amazing! Then the chocolate pudding to fish . Bottle of Melbac to!

Fabian Martin

I’ve now been to every single Dishoom in London. And they always deliver . Truly the best restaurant in the city . Had the Pav Bhaji this time and it was heavenly, like a better daal w bread . 10/10

Gorgeous space for a drink and meal. Friendly staff . Okra fries all the way. If you're game try Gola ice (dessert ). It isn't for all tastes but i enjoyed it and think its a great way to finish a meal.

Pieter de Meer

The food is amazing, Dishoom is a very very good restaurant . Expect to queu, but its totally worth it. There is a nice bar downstairs to wait in. I espacially loved the lamb chops

Ranked FIRST for Indian food in London !! WELL DESERVED .. One of the best Indian restaurants I’ve ever visited in my life !! Go for Ruby Chicken , Cheese Naan & Biryani .. Don’t miss their Chai !!

Bader ????

One of my favorite Indian restaurants all my experiences all the branches where amazing really lovely friendly staff . I ordered the chicken Berry Britannia , Dishoom chicken tikka , Mutton Pepper Fry

Ariana Smith

Everything is delicious! Many meals safe for those with nut allergies too, not too common with Indian cuisine . The breakfast naan roll is incredible--my fave breakfast sandwich ever.

Bhavuk

Amazing place. Amazing atmosphere. Takes me back to irani cafes in Mumbai. Decent vegetarian and gluten free options . Attention to detail in decor is amazing. Good choice of cocktails .

c0uP

They've crafted quite the experience here! The lovely, spacious interior with many little touches, the great cocktails , of which the Thums Up Flip gets ????????, and obviously the food!

Huzaifa Khambalia

Went in a large group for breakfast . Food was delicious. Service was ok initially and got better.. recommend the kajriwal or the keema par edu. we ended up staying for lunch too lamb nihari was great!

Ollie Cartwright

Infuriatingly they won't let you sit in Granary square during your inevitable wait. Beat them at their own game by ordering an excellent old fashioned + letting the huge ice cube melt. Second drink!

Haaris Zafar

Great food. Can't go wrong with the biryani and the bbq dishes. Also malai kulfi not to be missed to top off lunch . Great ambiance at the new location..... despite the tounge in cheek xenophobic sign

Preeti Macker

This place will blow your mind and palette! It's Indian street and popular fare at its best! I was tripping on the Dal, keema pao, biryani ! Great service, eclectic shots & cocktails . Must go!

Elif

It worth waiting. Cheese Naan , spicy lamb chops , biryani , raita is my favourites. Chocolate pudding with chilly ice cream is a must try. Pineapple tart is the other option.

Richard

A Bombay Cafe with great Indian style tapas food, friendly staff and quirky decor. There might be a wait for a table but if your in no rush it's well worth it!!!

Dani

Delicious food, try the black dal, all the food is excellent, great for sharing. The queue can be long so arrive early as they don’t really do reservations . But it tends to be fast, worth checking out

Constance | @croostifoodi

Great quality food and not too pricy , even though it's not the most authentic Indian food . The venue is beautiful and the service efficient. Order cheese naan , chicken ruby and fish tikka .

Helen Haider

The murgh malai and black dhal were amazing and the garlic naan was so thin and buttery- but even better was the Bolly Bellini , a taste of rose and raspberry gorgeousness

Roberto Bua

Their queuing system is absurd (queue for ages, sit on a bench , go the the bar and THEN you can eat) but their food is just excellent. Get the cheese naan , the okra fries and anything from the grill.

Nora Ab

Best indian in london ! Okra fries , vegetable sambosa and ruby chicken , garlic naan are a must. Dont bother with the dessert or even the milk tea .

Jack Smith

Being #1 indian restaurant in London, can't stress enough about booking a table, otherwise you could be queuing outside for over an hour, then more waiting at the bar . Four other Dishooms in London

Hani Azahari

Big bombay breakfast and Akuri fr breakfast is ????. Also try their chocolate chai , so good and bottomless!

Miram Atie

The food is just fantastic! My favorites were the crispy okra fries and the ruby chicken curry .. Exquisite flavours! The staff are super friendly and I tried the amazing house chai on the house :D

Lisa N

Delicious food in a cool converted warehouse . We arrived at 6pm on a Sunday night and waited 15-20 mins for a table - didn’t mind thanks to the free chai .

Jessica Barlow

Favourite place in London. Recommend the Murgh Malai , Lamb Biryani , and really just about anything! Always with a Kingfisher and naan , obviously. The Raita is great for folks who don't like too spicy .

Amalia Goutaki

Amazing food! Had the bhel-puffed rice , vegetable samosa , murgh malai for a non spicy option and the chef 's kings cross special! Yogurt and naan on the side! All were really tasty. Top service!

L W

Wow. Exquisite attention to detail throughout, from the drinks menu, the decor to the food. Black dahl and lamb on the bone were cooked to perfection and went really well with roti and naan . Go here!

Kunal Shah

One of the best Indian restaurants in London. Authentic vada pav , dal makhni , chole puri and keema pav. Be prepared to stand in the queue for atleast an hour, whether breakfast , lunch or dinner .

Peal Partz

The dhal and bhel are absolutely divine. The restaurant is huge. I’d recommend booking . We went for an early dinner at 5:30 and there was already a queue

L0ma

Hands down my favourite Indian place in London.. u cant go wrong with anything I especially like lamb biryani vada pau and the masala chai .

Cole Kennedy

I still can’t stand their queuing situation but the food, service, and atmosphere is always wonderful. Ask to wait in the Permit Room (downstairs cocktail bar ); far more pleasant than the foyer.

Nidhi Kay

always maintain best level of quality indian food in their chains, masala chai refills and lamb biryani , super cool decor looking like mumbai train station vibes

kiptrip

good drinks+great food at reasonable prices. Even the 1 hr queue was made pleasant by free drinks and polite servers who endeavoured to get everyone indoors as soon as space freed up at the bar . LOVE!

Haaris Zafar

Almost everything is good here. The kings cross outlet is huge and seems the servic is suffering a bit due to sheer volume. Though can't go wrong with the food, specially masala prawns and the biryani

Maggie Walsh

Yum yum yum. I think I ate everything here! The virgin colada is awesome! Very unique, I would definitely try it. The ruby chicken is a classic, very tasty. The kulfi for dessert was very creamy :)

Aaria Johnson

I always preferred this restaurant for an authentic indian food . I love the indian spices & they are very delicious. Everyone must try their different chicken dishes that are so tasty. Staff is nice.

Marlene Schufferth

Must eat when in London! Changes your understanding of Indian food . ????????

N

Recommended for Indian cuisine lovers.. We were a big group and had the vegetarian set menu .. Everything was so good. Don't forget the Okra Fries !!!

Julia Curtin

It’s all delicious!! The waiter was really informative, we took his advice and were very happy! Get there early though (6pm latest) to keep wait time to a minimum. It’s popular for a reason.

Fatima Al-Halwachi

Lovely service, great ambience, interesting menu with mixed iranian and indian culture. I recommend enjoying the bottomless chai with your meal

Constantine Zarnaris

Really good food at very reasonable prices (the exact opposite than many other restaurants ). Everything I had so far is above average to great. Probably the best Chai . Great environment and staff .

Tamara Eelsing

The lambs chops are to die for! The food is good, no doubt about it. A bit expensive …

Kora-Lee Lust

Lovely breakfast naan rolls and house chai with free refills. The massala beans we had as a side were packed with coriander flavour!

Alex Nikolov

The restaurant is as good as its reputation. My guests always leave very happy. Great food, amazing atmosphere and building, cheap for the quality. Beware of queues. Great cocktails .

Ierax Holargeus

A trip to paradise: Chai , garlic naan , cheese naan , murgh malai , spicy lamb chops , chicken ruby and basmati rice . Great location. You need to book to avoid the long queue.

Will Pitchers

Best Indian restaurant in London. Pau bhaji, house black daal and the Viceroy's old fashioned are must tries. Great places for groups and dates.

Mirella????

The signature dishoom dish is a warm spicy and buttery lentil soup , very interesting. But what cant be forgotten is the chilli ice cream !

Tee

New Dishoom at Granary Square may be the best one yet!! Beautiful décor and gorgeous food!! The house special of lamb shank curry is pretty damn good.
