Dishoom is a perfect place to experience Indian street food at a great price. Long queues so be prepared to wait. Order okra fries while you wait in the bar - amazing

Harith Alrashid

Mashael ✨

Every single dish was super delicious????

Reem

Lovely vibes and amazing food! The waiter gave us some recommendations so we had: Fried Okra (a must) lamb biryani (9/10) and chicken Ruby (9/10).Definitely worth the visit just try to book in advance

Abhishek

Awesome place to share Indian dishes , perfect for groups. Long waiting times (almost an hour or even more) but they serve you spiced chai while you are waiting. But the food is worth the wait!

Cheen The Curious

If u r wiling wait at dinner time, walk up to reception counter & ask for a pager. When a table is ready for your dining size, u will get alerted. U hv to be near the resto to receive the page

Jon Yang

Omg I love this place. Best Indian food I've ever had. The Chicken Ruby and the Chicken Berry Britannia were delicious. Also get the roti and buttered garlic naan as sides to dip in the sauce.

Chai , Bombay omlete and kijriwal "spicy " all are great authentic Indian food ????

Anita Koimur

It's worth waiting. They serve absolutely mouth-watering, mindblowing dishes! I went for Chicken Ruby , Garlic Naan and Teetotal Espresso Martini . Let alone the service -Beata was exceptionally great!

Pam Lin

Top of my list. Try to go for Breakfast AND another meal if you have the time. Their breakfast chili toast & naan wraps are AMAZING. Kingly Court location has a nice well lit courtyard to sit in too.

Feras

Go for their Okra fries , cheese toast , lamb chops and malai tikka . Enjoy!

Duygs Duygs

Finally able to try their breakfast and I loved it. Could be slightly more filling compared to what you pay but my overall satisfaction is high. Will come back for dinner !

????????????????????????????????

One of the best Indian food restaurants in London. Crowded but well organized . Can’t get enough of coming back.

Y Y

Always have my Bombay fix herex Never fail to disappoint! Curry chicken , okra fries , mutton briyani , naan are all my fave!

Riann Goettl Seymour

This place is so good! Love the Big Bombay Breakfast and Bacon Egg Naan Roll. Atmosphere and service were also great. Top meal in London for us! ???? yes

Mada ???????? ????????‍♀️☕️

Absolutely delicious food! The black Dahl was the star of the show! I also their breakfast menu is ridiculously delicious. I would recommend a booking . Highly recommend and cannot wait to go back.

Very Good Service

Other than the queuing, a great experience. Service is efficient rather than refined. Indian food is the star of the show and the place is very lively

Dan Mondragón Somera

Menu can be a bit scary if it’s your first time trying Indian food . But just go with the recommendations and you will be fine :) the taste is delicious and the drinks (alcoholic or not) are amazing

Cheen The Curious

Drinks. Their paper menu offers a quick overview, if u r in a hurry. The Permit Room menu has cocktails not listed on the paper menu. The Teetotal Menu lists those with little (or no) alcohol

Pouya Lotfi

Dishoom is by far the best ever Indian rest. I’ve ever tried in 15 different countries . Amazing service, the passion, taste & presentation were spectacular. Try House Black Daal, Chiken Ruby & Biryani

eleni paul

amazing Indian food ! Loved the puffed rice , chicken tikka , prawn tikka , black dahl great and the best naan . Only dish I didn't love was the chicken and pomegranate salad . Great staff too..

Natasa Stojcic

Never had better Indian food ! Great and fast service , delicious food! If you are not sure what would you like to eat, ask for an advice, staff is super helpful and friendly .

Sarah Altuwaijri

The best vegetable samosa on earth!!! The food is very tasty and the service was fast!! Thank you Dishoom.

Alexandra Goldstein

A fine array of small sharing dishes. Calamari , okra fries , paneer and black daal are all delicious, and the house chai is lovely. Beautiful setting, too.

Gina June

The food was delicious. The chilli cheese toast to start was delightful and we had a curry and a tikka dish which were both lovely. Ignore waiter 'd advice of 2-3 dishes each - that'd be way too much!

Nikos B

Be prepared for a long queue unless you come at 9pm. Chicken Ruby , Black Daal, Chicken Biryani , Keema Pau, chilled Broccoli salad .

Ibrahim Almulhim

One of the best Indian restaurants you can visit in London????????.waiting for a table shouldn’t be more than 40-50 minuets during weekend. Making reservation would be nice to avoid the hassle

Fabian Martin

Dishoom never disappoints. Truly excellent food! The lamb special here was interesting but I wouldn’t take it over the lamb chops

Eman ????????????

Liked ;Okra fries , chicken ruby and grilled prawns , cheese naan , disliked: chicken pyriani , house chaat

Cheryl Ye

Different from your standard breakfast/brunch in London. The setting is nice and the food - cheap and tasty. Love the oats - it's £3.90 and free flow!

Sean Quinlan

Huge, delicious menu with a ton of exciting options to come back and try. Bring friends. Min reservation is 6 and you'll need one if you don't want to wait.

YASSER

Everything is cooked to perfection. Don’t miss the chef special lamb . Chicken masala is Delicious too. Okra fries is a must

Cyndie Da Rocha

Tasty food, well seasoned and with a nice decor. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful. The only flaw is you have to book 3-4weeks in advance (for groups of 6+).

Brittany Sübers

Veg samosas , Bombay potatoes , house daal, naan , and rice . I'd recommend the samosas to start and the plain over the cheese naan . Potatoes were flavorful. Service was good. Lines can be long.

Peter M

Indian themed cocktail bar and diner . You queue for tables for some reason. Cool interior, vibe and cocktails are the best bit. Food is indian inspired, so not authentic . Diner feel and service.

Yousef Babatin

Biryani Lamb was better than the chicken . Lamb samosa better than the vegi . Chicken Ruby was my favorite. Overall it was a good choice and worth the wait for their price point.

Caroline Mercer

food is amazing! worth the queue time... jackfruit biryani and lamb biryani , paneer tikka , gunpowder potatoes and black daal all spot on and chai tea is unlimited at lunchtime!

Sasha Solomon

Went for breakfast . It was pretty crowded for a Friday morning at 9, but it was worth it.Had 2 cups of the House Chai and the Sausage and Egg Naan (with chutney ). Soooo gooood.

Natalie Bergman

Gunpowder potatoes , lamb boti kebab , black Dal, okra fries , vegetarian samosas , and chicken Britannia all wonderful. Raita and naan good to help calm the spice level.

Emily Ferdinandi

Best Indian food I've ever had. We've tried to perfect our order over 10 visits: calamari , veggie samosas , chicken tikka , prawns , Dahl , rice , naan . So so good

Katie Andrade

The hype is real! Definitely One of the coolest restaurant in the city and delicious food to go along. Definitely ask your server for recommendations to try something new!

pipi paw

Grilled Prawn . In love with this place, people foods cocktails , everything is so good. Waited 1.5hour but really worth the wait.

Renad

Amazing Indian experience ????????. Biryani , chicken ruby , chicken tikka , butter-bhutta, keema pau and the okra fries ????????????

Chee Wai Wong

It's sooooo good we came back again! MUST get the chicken ruby , cheese nan , sali boti (lamb curry ) and chai tea .

Helen Zhang

Chicken ruby curry , chicken biryani and lamb samosas are my favorite dishes after trying most of the menu, but really it's hard to go wrong with anything

Norah

Bianca

Delicious food all around. The prawns , the lamb samosas - super flavorful. Chicken tikka and the lamb signature dish must be tried. Nice atmosphere too.

Tom Moore

We had chicken ruby , lamb samosas , lamb boti and chili cheese bread . All were standouts. While we love Dishoom for breakfast , lunch was even better if that’s possible.
