Dishoom is always a go-to while in London. Everything is so flavorful, so fresh and so delicious. The restaurant has such a great energy and is always lively. The staff is friendly and attentive. I do recommend a reservation as I have never seen it not busy. This restaurant is also a great option if you have vegetarian/vegan folks in your group as the menu has something for everyone. My personal go-tos - chai tea, house black daal, and the chicken ruby. I highly recommend Dishoom if you are in London!

Big group dinner with 10 people. We made a late reservation the day off for 9pm after a few work events. The space is very lively and was buzzing when we got there. Servers are very attentive and did a good job of explaining the menu. We ordered way too much food, some of the highlights are chicken kathi roll, lamb samosas, sheekh kebab,biryani, like 12 naan and a few other seafood dishes. Would def come back for a group dinner

Came on a Friday night without a reservation, and only had to wait 20 min for a table for two. Loved the large NA drink menu. The matcha sour was great. Food was good. Menu was really large, which was nice, and the server was helpful in navigating it. Would recommend.

Dishoom had been on our list for weeks leading up to our recent trip. We were able to grab the last walk in table available just before 6pm. The food was mouth watering and oh, so delicious. The chicken ruby was the star of the show, though it did not have much chicken. I would suggest adding more chicken. They recommend that you order 3-4 things and split them amongst 2 people and that is what we did. The interior was very nice and the vibes were high. It was very crowded! We would go back tomorrow if we could! Looking forward to when it expands to the US.

I've really been looking forward to finally being able to give Dishoom a try! I walked-in around 6:30 on a Monday and was quoted around a 20 min wait time (solo dining this time) -- there's a nice bar area for customers to wait and order some drinks/snacks. Ultimately I managed to get seated just around the estimated 20 min :) Per my server's recommendation, I ordered the chicken ruby with garlic naan, and it was definitely a great choice. I loved the depth of the curry flavour, a wonderful balance of umami, creaminess and the (just-right level of) spicy-ness. The meat was so tender and juicy, and very well-infused with the rich curry flavour. The garlic naan, light and fluffy, was a lovely complement to the heavier flavours of the curry (but I wish it had more of a garlicky taste). I also ordered a mango and fennel lassi to drink, which was yummy. The mango flavour was crisp and fresh, and I liked that it wasn't too sweet nor was the texture too thick. I did not taste much of the fennel though. Portion sizes were not bad -- I think it's definitely a higher-end restaurant and the prices reflect that. I'm really looking forward to my next visit already to try some other fantastic dish off their fairly-extensive menu.

Came to Dishoom in Shoreditch with no reservation and expected a long wait, but it wasn't too bad. We hung out at the bar and the bartender recommended their special drink, which ended up being amazing. I ordered the murgh malai and the chicken ruby and both were so flavorful and comforting. The garlic naan was okay but it didn't have much of a garlic taste, so that was the only thing I wasn't obsessed with. Overall the experience was great. The vibe is lively but still cozy, and the service was friendly and attentive even with the crowd. I would definitely come back.

Had reservations for lunch at this place. Have seen the long lines at the other locations. We were seated immediately upon arrival. Sat downstairs. Was a little noisy and loud here so it was hard to hear our waitresses response and recommendations. We had the chicken biryani, the chef special - Prawn Pathia, the moan monkfish curry and the vegetarian samosas. Also ordered some naan. The sauce on the Prawn Pathia was so good. The prawns were well marinated and tasted great. The sauce had a spice to it and as well as some tang - tasted like chutney. We needed the extra naan for this and the curry. Fish curry was delicious- the first couple of spoons you could taste the tanginess of the curry but the coconut milk rendered a nice sweet ending. The vegetable samosas came with some chutneys/sayces. Our favorite was the coriander and mint: so refreshing. Definitely coming back next time I'm in London.

*Location / Directions Easy to find. The entrance is fairly unassuming but as you walk in and up to the greeters, it's very nicely decorated. We had a group of 4 and the wait at the time was 45 mins. Enough time for us to find seats at the bar and order drinks. *Drinks / Cocktails The bartender offered to walk us through the drink options and offered water as well. I am a huge fan of old fashions and a huge fan of anything coconut flavored so this old fashioned was absolutely amazing! The margarita was pretty standard but also very good. *Appetizers / Entree The food was freaking AMAZING! Packed with flavor, spice, fresh ingredients and the perfect blend of seasoning. We were all blown away with every item we tried and could not pick a favorite among the choices. The lamb chops were seasoned and prepared to perfection and the naan was incredible. I can go on and on, but I'll leave it there. LOL *Service From the greeter, to the bar tender, and from the server to the staff, the service was nothing short of welcoming and professional. Each person played their parts wonderfully and made us feel like we were the only ones in the entire restaurant. They were attentive, patient, and very helpful throughout our visit. * Conclusion Run! Do not walk to Dishoom! We were told that they are a chain restaurant and that they'll be opening a location in New York at the end of 2026. If all their chains were as awesome as this one, this will be great for the U.S. we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and recommend it when you're in London and want a unique and memorable experience. 10/10

This is by far the best Indian food I ever had. I like curry, but every time I always worry about smelling like Indian food or upset stomach after dinner, well I don't have to worry about any of those this time. The food was excellent, that Chicken Ruby was on point, it has hints of spicy and I just want to dip everything into that sauce. The PRAWN PATHIA has more spicy but with so sweetness to balance it. The naan and rice were also great balance, I need like 10 more naan for my sauce!!! The surprise was the grilled greens, I can tasted that they fresh off the grill and also the dressing that comes with it were excellent. This restaurant was also beautiful and staff were professional. I will come back every time I come back to London from now on!!!

Easily the best Indian food I've ever had! The service was amazing and every single bit was so flavorful. Will be coming here every time I'm in London.

Very busy place! The staff all very attentive and friendly. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the dishes and made excellent recommendations! A must when in London! Absolutely delicious and reasonably priced!

Dishoom is a must, every time I'm in London. I still think about the House Chaat. I'm not sure what it is, but it involved potatoes, beetroot, and yogurt, which sounds weird, but was my favorite dish of the night. I've never had a bad dish here, Ruby Chicken is always good. Cinnamon Jaggery Pancakes were delicious if you're in the mood for something sweet. The Naan Rolls made for a nice departing breakfast before heading back to the states. Service is always friendly and attentive. Do yourself a favor and make yourself a reservation and avoid those impossibly long waits dropping into this place.

I know that Dishoom is a pretty popular Indian x Iranian fusion spot located throughout London that has a massive cult following/is on a few go-to guides for visitors, but honestly, I didn't get the hype. My dad lived in India, so I grew up with authentic Indian influences, and living near Little India/Pioneer Street in Artesia, I'd like to say I know what classifies good Indian food. I can only review the Shorditch location as that's the one I went to. This place was decent; it had a higher price point than most restaurants I've been to and a crazy wait time. I think it took just shy of 2 hours for us to be seated from when we approached for 2 people During our wait, as we had been bracing cold winds since I visited in late November, Dishoom was kind of us to offer us warm teas while we waited I ordered their espresso chai martini, which was delicious but very small for their price point we got their chicken tikka masala, lentils, rice, naan, and their orange chocolate custard (flan) everything was okay, not bad, decent, but not mindblowing they had 3 different types of chutny, one which was incredibly spicy - or at the very least spicier than chutny's I've had all in all if i visit London again it would not be a priority to go back

Dishoom is my wife's and my favorite restaurant in London. While there are many excellent options in the city, our connection to this place is personal and dates back nearly ten years to the start of our relationship. We were in London for the marathon and staying in Shoreditch. My wife suggested Dishoom, which she already loved, and I was immediately impressed. I've visited several Dishoom locations, but Shoreditch remains my favorite. The atmosphere is exceptional, capturing the spirit of an old Irani café from Bombay's past. Even the wait feels thoughtful, with their clever queue system offering hot chai while you wait, setting the tone before you sit down. Our Indian food preferences are pretty traditional, and Dishoom consistently delivers. The masala prawns, chicken tikka, garlic naan, and lamb samosas stand out, and everything feels carefully prepared. The food is rich, comforting, and satisfying without feeling heavy. The Shoreditch interior is cozy, stylish, and lively, balancing energy without ever feeling tacky or overdone. The design features vintage artifacts, layered textures, distinctive furniture, and plenty of greenery, creating a space that feels authentic and transportive. The lighting shifts throughout the day, bright and energizing earlier on, then darker and more sultry in the evening, which adds a lot to the overall mood. Service has always been excellent, warm, and efficient. Prices aren't cheap, but they seem fair given the quality of food, service, and overall experience. Dishoom's growth feels well-earned and reflects consistently high standards. They've expanded carefully across the UK, and it's exciting to see the brand heading to New York City. I recently heard about plans for a Soho, NY location opening in 2026, reportedly in the former Lucky Strike space on Grand Street. That restaurant was a longtime Soho fixture, making the pairing feel perfect. Dishoom's focus on atmosphere, history, and hospitality seems well-suited to such an iconic setting. Some of the newer Dishoom locations may feel slightly more commercial, but the food remains excellent everywhere. Shoreditch sets an exceptionally high standard and remains our benchmark. Dishoom appeals to a broad audience, from devoted Indian food lovers to people newer to the cuisine. It combines excellent food, reliable service, and an atmosphere that makes you want to stay longer. We make sure to visit whenever we're in the UK and always leave happy. Jhakaas!

Came here for dinner on Sunday, the place was bustling with people and activity. Staff is super nice and accommodating. Heard great things about their food and drinks, tried a few apps and mains. Our server was very helpful with recommendations. We tried bhel and lamp chops for apps, and black dal, lamb and chicken curry along with romali roti for mains. Lamp chops were great but everything else was just average and the flavors did not stand out. We finished it off with chocolate pudding. Overall a bit let down as the food did not hit the mark.

All Hype, Minimal Wow - Just Okay Indian Food Tried this spot after hearing about it from pretty much everyone and seeing the long lines at every location around the city. Figured with that many people waiting, it had to be something special... but honestly? It was just okay. I ordered the Chicken Ruby, supposedly one of their signature dishes and while it wasn't bad, it didn't blow me away either. The sauce was rich but a bit one-note, and the chicken itself was tender but not super flavorful. It tasted fine, but lacked that depth and spice you expect from a truly great Indian curry. The portion size was decent, and everything was presented well, but for the wait and the hype? Definitely underwhelming. It feels more like a trendy chain than a place focused on nailing the food. With so many locations and such a huge following, it's clearly doing something right just not enough to make me want to rush back. If convenience and consistency are what you're after, it'll do. But if you're looking for standout Indian cuisine, keep exploring.

Absolutely exquisite meal. Cheerful service. They had such fun explaining their favorites and helping us decipher the menu. I have never been to India - and maybe this is an average reflection of great Indian food. To that, I cannot attest. However, to me, Dishoom is the result of traditional Indian cuisine, paired with extensive culinary knowledge and creative pairings of all things texture, taste, depth, and color. A true culinary adventure in a beautiful space! PRO TIP: the chai tea is free refills! What a delight it was to learn that!

During my weeklong visit to London I had 2 Dishoom experiences, dinner and breakfast. Both were absolutely wonderful. Dishoom is a beautiful space, inside and outside (I want to return when it's warmer to experience the outside) and so far I've sat in the bar area which is very chic and in part of the dining room near windows in booths. The booths are huge and I have been tempted to sleep there after eating all the things. For dinner, my party shared several things, which is customary. I enjoyed everything we had, but suggest people check out the menu and choose what's right for them - my party had a pescatarian and our menu skewed that way. All of the food was amazing, there were no survivors, lol. I also had a delicious lassi to accompany my meal. Another day we returned for breakfast. I ordered the pancakes, sausages, and the breakfast lassi. When the pancakes showed up, I looked at them dubiously, just knowing they wouldn't get me full. And yet, they did. Order them, I enjoyed them very much, as well as the lassi. It's different in a good way. Service has been impeccable. Highly recommend. Hope to return soon.

Went twice, one for dinner and once for breakfast. Both were amazing, but the breakfast blew me away. For dinner, the daal was creamy and the broccoli salad was light and refreshing. For breakfast, the porridge was flavored perfectly and the wrestler's naan was a great combo of eggs, sausage, and bacon. It was very busy both times but we were seated immediately for breakfast (Friday 10 AM) and within 15 minutes for dinner (Monday 9 PM). Servers were friendly and the decide was cool.

This is the best Indian food ever. I've eaten here multiple times and it's hard to go wrong. Always a long line. That's what you expect. It's the best Indian food in town. in a pretty big town lol. But seriously, you can't go wrong here. The Pao Bhaji and chicken dishes are awesome. The mushroom murgh is insane!! all the locations are great, but shoreditch is a personal favorite

food: only Indian I tried in London but done very well, all the dishes seemed authentic and were flavorful, highlight for me was the cheese naan, paneer curry was also very good service: nice staff, gets very busy so can be wait Ambiance: really enjoyed the outdoor area, perfect for summer days, interesting music

Dishoom was a cool set up in that you order a bunch of small plates and entrees to share. The food comes out as it is prepared. It wasn't my favorite food I had on my trip but I would be back! Service was great and even though it was packed it didn't feel too crowded. Definitely recommend!

THIS RESTAURANT MAY RUIN YOUR TRIP If you begin your culinary journey here, you may well find the rest of your holiday dining rather a let-down -- the food was nothing short of exquisite. I ordered a single sabji with a cheese naan and savoured every morsel as though it were my very first encounter with Indian cuisine. The experience was elevated by Jonathan, my waiter, who might just be the most charming and courteous gentleman I've ever met in a restaurant. He shared a bit of Dishoom's history, guided me through the menu with genuine enthusiasm, confirmed my dietary requirements, and made spot-on recommendations. He was endlessly attentive -- refilling my water without prompting, providing little sweets at the end, and offering mouth fresheners with the sort of grace one might expect from an old friend rather than a stranger. Whether this is standard Dishoom etiquette, a hallmark of Jonathan himself, or simply the British way of doing things, I couldn't say -- but it set the bar impossibly high for the rest of my trip.

Came to the Shoreditch location since it was the only spot we could get a reservation and avoid long lines. The service is quick and the host and waitress were all very nice. I asked for the keychain which I received but we couldn't play the matka game that day. I ordered the ruby red chicken with naan and my sister ordered the paneer roll. The roll ended up being way too spicy. The winner dish were the okra fries. We enjoyed them so much! The place wasn't that packed because we had picked it for lunch so service was quick. I liked the Indian decorations and vibes. Although I would like to try more Dishoom locations in the future, I don't understand the hype of this chain of restaurants. The food is pretty average but the experience is what makes it worthwhile.

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.

Unfortunately, this restaurant was a disappointment for us. I added Dishoom to our list of restaurants to check out while in London after I came across the fact that it had so many good reviews (across multiple locations). It is definitely a vibe; highly recommend making a reservation if you want to get in timely. We had gone on weekday evening around 6pm and it was busy; walk-ins were given an estimate of about 1 hour for a table. We were seated about 15-20ish minutes after our reservation time. My husband and I were dining, and we ended up getting the pau bhaji, makhmali paneer, chicken ruby, and a roomali roti. As someone who has had a lot of pau bhaji at different restaurants, this variation wasn't my favorite. It had a very strong amount of spice but it was somehow bland. It needed something more, including butter. The paneer was nice and soft but the sauce they had drizzled over tasted more like a pesto. The ruby chicken was very tender, not too spicy, a nice change given how spicy the pau bhaji was. The curry was thick and creamy, and the roomali roti was pretty good. Service was okay, they didn't have any chai when we ordered it but they brought it out to us later when it was ready. Overall, I think maybe my expectations were too high going into it.

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)

Had the curry chicken and lamb chops. Both were very good and flavorful. Service was friendly once you got seated, but the wait was very long. I went at 8 and they said an hour wait. Came back at 9 and was seated in 10 mins. Another place where I found to be way too loud inside.

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.

The best Indian food and experience I've ever had. This place came highly recommended from friends and it didn't disappoint. We had the vegetable samosas to start, chicken ruby and chicken briyana with roti and naan bread for dinner. It was the perfect amount for 3 people. Don't miss this place when in London!

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!

I had made a reservation for 2:30-3:00 pm on a weekday. It was so busy when we got there but got seated immediately. I'm giving it 4 stars because the samosas tasted dry and the espresso martini was super small. My paneer kathi roll was good.

Dishoom has at least 5 locations in London, so I have no idea why all of them have crazy wait times. If you must eat here, booking a reservation is the way to go to save time. We went here for breakfast. The house chai and bacon and egg naan were decent but also forgettable. Indian food is usually very flavorful but this place leaned towards bland. Service is also just okay. Honestly, I expected more from Indian cuisine in London. This place must be a tourist trap from all the hype.

We did not have reservations, there was quite a bit of a wait. However, you move through the line and then they take you into the bar area where you can sit with your friends. Have a few drinks while you wait. Then you are moved to your table. The menu has something for everyone. We got a main meal as an appetizer since we had like six of us. It was more of a vegetarian dish with some naan and it was very good. The boys absolutely loved the chicken Ruby! But I think the monkfish was the winner. I absolutely loved it. I was the only person that was able to finish it. And let me tell you by the time you get over halfway through that heat continues to build, but it is absolutely delicious. It's just you sweating and determined to finish it off lol. Super cool on the inside! You would never think you are in a place that is actually a small chain. We had a small issue with the waitress, but overall, it was a great experience and I would go back in a heartbeat! We had an interim server that was fantastic! The food was absolutely legit. I do not remember the name of the dish my buddy got, it was very rice heavy with chicken. Overall, the least dish of the group, although he said it was good. He did have buyers remorse after he tried the different dishes that we got.

Modern Indian cuisine in London, what a treat. You can get Indian food anywhere in the city, but I wanted to try "the best." Dishoom lives up to its hype by somehow being cozy and elevated. Foods that don't feel indulgent, everything was flavorful and the perfect mix of flavors. Service had nothing that was lacking. For my first time, I relied on the recommendations of the server to pick out my meal, very easy. I'm so glad we came and would recommend anyone to try it out.

Came by for breakfast and it was a world class experience. Made a reservation via Google/SevenRooms and my table was ready upon arrival. Dishoom is located in Shoreditch and the 26 bus stops across the street from the restaurant. Entrance is on the other side of the road. Dining js available indoors or in the heated and covered patio. Started off with the chai and it was flavorful, strong, with a hint of spice. Moved on to the sausage and egg Naan for breakfast and it was tasty. The naan was light and fluffy while the sausage was cooked to perfection and the egg was slightly runny. Service throughout the meal was cordial and helpful

Read lots of great reviews on this chain of Indian restaurants. We were starving at 9pm and Dishoom was open til 11:00pm. A quick U we ride to the location in ShoreDitch and a short 10 minute wait at the bar.... Brought us to a nice table. Tip: if you get drinks at the bar they just add them to your dinner tab. Food: portions were perfect for 2 people. We ordered lots of things: vegetable samosas, chilli chicken, masala prawns, garlic and cheese naan, chicken ruby(butter chicken) and a hefty portion of rice. Service was great! Servers were running all Over the place. It was busy at 10:00pm. Although tipping is not expected in London, the restaurant does add a service charge on your bill so just be aware.

I have been obsessed with Dishoom ever since I ate them for the first time years ago. It's super popular and everyone I talk to whether they are from here or visiting London seem to know it. Also evidenced by the fact that there was a 1 hour wait to get a table. They serve you chai and lemonade while you are in line which makes up for the wait...a little. The wait was 30 minutes in line and then got seated at the bar and another 30 minutes there before getting a table. Super good service, ambiance, and the food is delectable. I don't wait for an hour at any restaurant except for this one.

This place is really good. It's definitely a must eat restaurant in London!! we came on a weeknight and still had to wait so I can't imagine the weight on the weekends. We got the chicken curry and the prawn curry, the samosas, and a side of rice to share

Food: excellent and well seasoned. We ordered a large variety. Started with their garlic and cheese naan. Also got Vegetable samosas. Also had their grilled shrimp and chicken dishes ( similar butter chicken) and chili chicken. All very tasty. Price was matching their portion size. Staff: everyone was quick to help and provide refills on drinks. Ambiance: this location was very popular. We only waited about 10 minutes at the bar. We arrived around 9:00pm.

I was super excited to try Dishoom, as Indian is one of my favorite cuisines and it came recommended by a few colleagues. Waited in line against my better judgment for a little over an hour on a Monday evening in September. Staff did greet us fairly quickly (I was a party of one but speaking for those in line near me, too) and they were diligent in providing a nice cup of hot masala chai or mint tea. Once my name was called, I was ushered into the bar to wait...some more. It's a very lively spot, and would be a nice spot to hang at the bar. I ordered a cocktail and the bartender was really lovely and engaging, and the dill gin cocktail I had was nice and refreshing. The cocktail menu looked super creative but by this point I was starving. Ordered the Fried Okra which was really nice. Shared them with others at the bar as it was sizable portion. Once I was directed to my table, service was curt and not very attentive (even for London standards). I was considering ordering a glass of wine but my server never came back after I ordered my food (about 30 seconds after I sat down) except once I finally was able to flag her down to settle the bill. I ordered the Black Daal (one of my favorite dishes and highly recommended as their specialty) alongside basmati rice and garlic naan. The food was fine: nothing to wait in line for at all. It's essentially Indian food for white people, and disappointing compared to other Indian I've had around town. When I discuss Dishoom with my Indian friends, they agree it is overhyped. If there weren't a crazy line, I'd love to go back for a few cocktails and appetizers but I wouldn't wait for over an hour for the opportunity. Too many excellent cocktail spots in London. Definitely a hype machine made famous by social media and folks who want Indian-light when it comes to spice and spicy.

Dishoom is an awesome Indian restaurant in Shoreditch. The restaurant has an energetic and fun vibe that encourages patrons to celebrate the best of life with delicious food. My friend and I did not have a reservation, so we waited a few minutes. We were able to grab a drink at their bar as we waited and were quickly greeted by our server. The menu has quite the selection so I recommend looking it over as it can be overwhelming. However, we decided on a few dishes to share which is normal for most dining at the restaurant. We got the Garlic Naan, House Chai, House Black Daal, and Chicken and Mango Salad. All of it was completely delicious (10/10)! I thought the dishes were only subtly spicy and had a great kick. The mango sweetness of the salad paired nicely with the spice of the dressing. The garlic naan is just like garlic bread but a flatbread. The daal is hearty and deeply flavored. The house chai had just the right amount of warm sweetness that provided a cozy feeling amongst the wild flavors. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough if you are ever in Shoreditch. It has a great vibe, fast service, and delicious food. Hope to experience this restaurant again soon!

I cannot say enough good things about Dishoom. I spent a long weekend in London and visited twice, it was SO good. I didn't get any pics from my first trip, where I had the Butter Chicken (outstanding) and the Chicken Berry Britannia (good but dry). Second visit I had the lamb chops and black daal, both were delicious. This is a must have when in London. Be prepared for a little wait but great service.

Good Indian cuisine. Was very delicious. Very friendly and courteous staff. Will definitely come back on next trip to London.

What an absolutely lovely experience this was. We were recommended Dishoom by several friends and we weren't disappointed in the slightest. The atmosphere and food were unmatched, and we couldn't have been happier with everything we tried. We shared all of the dishes we ordered, including the monkfish, chicken Ruby, chilli chicken, and okra fries, and of course we had to get a side of the garlic naan. The chocolate chai was something I hadn't seen offered on a menu before, but as a big fan of dark chocolate I had to try it. It was tremendous. We will be back as soon as possible to try more.

I've been to dishoom a few times but never the shoreditch location. The shoreditch prawns are a must have! so yummy. Service was a bit slow- but it was pretty busy on a Friday. I would give 5 stars because you can blindly pick anything on the menu and it'll be really good. But service was slow and it was unbelievable hot in there. I couldn't wait to leave and get fresh air.

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.

I had to go to Dishoom after hearing so much about it. We decided to go for breakfast since they don't take reservations and I hate waiting . It was a fun way to start the day and the food and atmosphere were both really good. I had a couple of fried eggs with cilantro on cheesy toast (Kejtiwal )and a side of bacon. I didn't want to eat all day after that. The people next to us had big, puffy poori that looked delicious. Very attractive and fun place. Waiter was good. I'd say go!
