Waited in a short line on a Friday night before going down to the bar. Service and food were both excellent.

Everything about this place is fantastic, fresh authentic Indian food prepared perfectly, bread cooked to order and amazing drinks. The attention to detail on everything they do is evident. My first meal was actually off their breakfast menu which I'm not used to seeing at this type of restaurant and it was so good I returned to try the dinner. Treat yourself and go here! read more

Dishoom - Breakfast wrap with sausage, bacon, egg, homemade sauce and fresh cooked to order naan with a chai. - Indian Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

We couldn't find a spot at any of the 4 branches in London so when we arrived in Edinburgh and opened yelp for a lunch spot , we were pleasantly surprised to see that they have a branch here too. What sets this place apart is the ambience, the staff, the service and the quality of food. Our server Abdul was extremely knowledgeable and gave great recommendations. We ordered Ruby chicken Sallu boti Biryani Malai chicken Potatoes Kaali daal Out of all the dishes , Ruby chicken , malai boti and the potatoes were out of this world while all the other dishes were great as well. For drinks the kala katha and chocolate chai were a great twist to the usual and are a must try. We loved it enough to book us back for brunch :) If in Edinburgh and if a fan of Indian cuisine - this place is a must try !! read more

We had a wonderful dinner at Dishoom. We were a large group of 11 and they were so accommodating. The food was delicious and our server was so patient. I would definitely go back again the next time we are in Edinburgh. read more

Really good place to eat Mumbai style food. Good flavours on all their dishes. Tried the Bhel, vada pav, pav bhaji, chicken roll, panneer roll and few drinks. All were good and in Edinburgh. Was surprised to see jackfruit biryani on the menu. Would like to try it next time. read more

Fantastic meal, service and atmosphere. Truly one of the best dining experiences I've had in a very long time. Server was very friendly and knowledgeable and the food was absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys Indian food. read more

Great bar including very professional capable and friendly bartenders as well as aged cocktails in little sealed jars. The food was nothing short of amazing. Easily the best Indian food I have ever had. Easily. I also appreciated that place was not kitschy with junk, but there were clues around you were in an Indian restaurant. We waited about 1/2 hour in the line outside to get into the bar. The whole time the staff was bringing us little hot drinks to make sure we were comfortable while we waited (was a bit cold). Is was another 1/2 hour or 40 minutes to get sat, but the bar was very nice and we enjoyed the bartender quite a lot. Well worth the wait. read more

This was our second time at Dishoom on our UK trip (first time was at Covent Garden in London). It was pretty full for a Sunday night; when we arrive we were sent to the bar right away and only had a 15-20 minute wait total. To be honest, our first time at London was pretty overwhelming (we had an 1.5 hour wait and had no idea what to order), so our visit this time was much more enjoyable, and we found the service to be slightly better as well! What we ordered (3 people): Okra Fries, Prawn Koliwada, Chicken Tikka, Chicken Ruby (2), Naan, Rice (2). We could have done without the naan, but highly recommend everything else, especially the chicken ruby! Get the pistachio kulfi for dessert!!! Best way to end your meal :) read more

Everything was incredible. Great ambiance, great service, amazing food! We will always come back when we are nearby!

Such a wonderful vibe at this place. Was traveling solo and had to wait on a table. Went downstairs to the bar and it was like I entered another time. I love the aesthetic. The drinks were very good. I didn't have to wait very long. The Chicken Tikka I got was amazing. I wanted to lick the bowl. Will definitely recommend read more

Naan and chicken ruby were both 10/10, I think I might just like Indian food tho which hm checks out! Pricier end but we ate upstairs and the vibes were immaculate. Didn't queue (why is this word spelled that way) bc we went at like 10:30 lol which I l may or may not regret now bc I later heard that they serve chai when you're waiting to be seated :/ I wanted chai :/// read more

I am no expert in Indian cuisine. I am a New Yorker and an old one as well so my tastes may not reflect younger palates. I found the restaurant rather too trendy and perhaps a little too taken of itself. My children love it and the local hype make it a "place to be". The portions were small but good but pricy and rather precious. Not for me but the food was tasty and we didn't get sick. read more

Amazing food and service. Coming from the US (originally from India) we were told by everyone who we knew and visited London to eat here. Did not disappoint at all.. it was absolutely wonderful food. Coming from Bombay or Mumbai .. was used to eating something similar that we generally called Iranian, Parsi or Persian food. This was very similar to it and brought back old memories... not very spicy if that's what someone is looking for .. but very flavorful. read more

Came here for Sunday lunch, and got in right away with no wait. Good ambience and great service It's overall 4.5* place than a 5, for the price and taste. Also note that this place isn't spicy AT ALL for my Indian taste buds. Keep that in mind when ordering We were a group of four, and ordered bunch of things in menu Egg naan roll: 4/5. Naan's bit thick and chewy for a roll. But once you reach the stuffing it tasted pretty good. But on sweeter side though Okra fries:4.5/5. Almost perfect except for the fat which were less crispy inside Kheema pav: 5/5. Favorite dish of the day. Kheema was great and the bun was nice and soft Mango lassi: 5/5. Not too sweet and not too cold. Just perfect Chai paanch: 5/5. A scotch cocktail with chai flavor. That's 2 drinks I like in one :) It was smooth and bit sweet Lamb biryani: 4/5. I'm a Hyderabadi, and I'm particular about my biryani. Wasn't as favorful as I would like Black dal with roomali roti: 3.5/5. I liked their dal when I tried it in London, but not much this time here. It was too creamy for a dal. Malai kulfi: 5/5. Very sweet. And tasted like back home read more

Both food and service are amazing! I really enjoyed the atmosphere. Had an amazing espresso martini in the bar while waiting for my table.

Incredible food and atmosphere. We decided to try Dishoom during our visit to Edinburgh. There was a 30 min wait for dinner, so the hostess suggested that we should wait at the bar. We ordered drinks and waited at the bar until our table was ready. The waiter explained the menu and suggested that we should order about 2-3 plates per person to share. We ordered a couple of starters, mains, and sides. Overall the food was delicious and would definately come back again. read more

I cannot give anything less than 5 stars. They have the best Indian food I have ever eaten. We were 11 friends from US touring UK. We booked our visit a month in advance. They had made a special menu for us which had their most recommended entrees. Ordering was easy. Food and service were beyond my imagination. The wait and higher prices are all worth it and you walk out very satisfied. Thanks to my daughter who suggested this place. I am looking forward to my next visit. read more

Fantastic! Delicious food! Very different than the usual Indian restaurant that you have in mind!

best indian food ive ever had. the grilled prawns are to die for, as is the edinburgh chef's special salli boti, and the house chaat with the pomegranate seeds also had the chicken tikka, malai mushrooms, spicy lamb chops, house black daal, bowl of greens, okra fries. for dessert we had the gulkhand mess (it was tasty but i discovered i don't really enjoy meringue) and also the basmati kheer (excellent). quite a lot of food for two people, our waiter even warned us but we were in edinburgh for one night only and wanted to try everything on the menu. no regrets (except we could have done without the lamp chops, the chef's special was incredible enough to satisfy the lamb craving). really gorgeous inside too, very nice and romantic ambiance. read more

On a trip in Edinburgh, I was sick so we went on a Saturday night for something to clear sinuses. Did not know anything about Dishoom other than that it was a well reviewed stop. The line was 1-2 hours deep just to get in and wait longer so we rain-checked til the next day. Sunday stroll in at late brunch' o'clock, we're told we'd have a 15 minute wait (not bad) and go to the basement bar to kill time. The basement bar was unbelievable, decorative masterpiece AND drinks are mastered. After maybe 5 minutes, tables ready and we go upstairs to our seats. Again, decorated to a T. The layout makes you feel like your dining in a Dwell magazine. Order a couple items, un.. UNbelievable! I have never had Indian-esque food with so much aroma and unique flavors! This IS the best Indian restaurant you could or will go to! If you're near one, you have an obligation to check it out. read more

DELICIOUS! I had breakfast here and it was amazing. Food was incredible, service was good, and the view is gorgeous. The atmosphere was fun and I enjoyed the bottomless chai. A great spot for any meal but especially for a unique and yummy breakfast! read more

Dishoom - Breakfast featuring bacon naan roll and glass of chai. - Indian Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

Really good Indian food in Edinburgh. The mango lassi is definitely worth getting and there is no wrong way to go with ordering, as all the dishes we ordered were amazing. Dishoom has a pretty upscale feel and the space is beautiful and enormous, boasting multiple floors and great views. The dishes are pretty filling but you may need to order more than you think you need, because the portions of the dishes are on the smaller side (almost tapas like). read more

Dishoom - Dinner at Dishoom! - Indian Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

The food here is good, but the service and experience is unreal out of control on point. The cocktails are also superb, although they use low grade liquor which is a bit of a bummer if you're looking for a simple, nice gin or other spirit. We were able to walk in on a week night - I believe it was a Tuesday - and this place was popping. They gave us a pager and sent us to the bar below the restaurant which was also buzzing. We shut the place down (which we did at most places in Scotland) so if you're looking for a nice long meal, this is the place to do it but come earlier than 8pm. The staff was incredible and I felt well taken care of here. The atmosphere was rich and the food delicious. We ordered way too much, but everything was worth trying a bit of. I would come here for every special meal if I could, or even just a in night out with friends. Ahh Dishoom. How I love you. read more

Excellent Indian food. Have been to the Dishoom in London, and this was also good. The only issue was they were so busy, we had to ask for refills on our Chai and a wait for service. read more

Amazing! I was thrilled to discover that Dishoom had a branch in Edinburgh! I am embarrassed to say I loved the food so much I ate here twice during my visit! First, I should say I am not a fan of Indian food. I took a chance upon a suggestion from a trusted friend that the food here was amazing, and it turned out to be true. Dishes I had included the Vegetable Samosas, Keema Pau, Murgh Malai, Chicken Ruby, Bowl Of Greens, and the Gulab Jamun for dessert. The star of the meal was the Chicken Ruby, WOW. I pretty much licked the bowl it was so good. Of the starters I preferred the Keema Pau over the Vegetable Samosas mostly because I prefer non-dough sort of foods. While I loved the mains and starters, the dessert selection (i.e. puddings) wasn't really for me. The one I did try (Gulab Jamun) was very well made, I just didn't care for it but it did have good quality ingredients like all the other dishes. The prices are reasonable, the food is great. Don't hesitate to give this a try. read more

This restaurant is amazing. It's part of a chain and very busy and you will probably have to wait to be seated but it is organized and runs like a machine. We waited in the downstairs bar which had great cocktails with some clever Indian cuisine related twists on classics like the old fashioned and the Mojito. Then we were called to a nice table, service was prompt and competent without making us feel rushed. The food was spot on. The Black Dal and signature lamb were delicious. Only caveat being if you are a couple or single you won't be able to sample as many of the dishes without over ordering the quantity of food. I guess you could get the leftovers to go. read more

EDINBURGH HAS A DISHOOM! I REPEAT! EDINBURGH! DISHOOM! When Chuck and I were in London, I forced us to eat at Dishoom. We loved the cocktails and food so much we visited another location for a second meal within a week. We were in Edinburgh to find a venue for our wedding. Our wedding planner suggested this great spot for breakfast over in New Town. "It is called Dishoom, have you heard of it?" We instantly made heart eyes at each other, made a note to find it and eat it asap. We arrived around 630pm expecting a wait. Thankfully, we were brought right in and got a table immediately. Our server was incredibly nice and suggested a few cocktails. I ordered the Tehmuls Tangle while chuck got the old fashioned house cocktail. Both were delicious. We knew that we wanted to share so we grabbed two appetizers, chili chicken and chili cheese toast, an order of chicken ruby, rice and two garlic naan. Everything was delightful! The heat on the chicken appetizer was mildly hot. The ruby was also spicy but not very strong (especially after the chili chicken). The garlic naan, as always, was amazing to scoop up the sauces. After all that food, we got the dessert cocktails. One was an espresso martini and the other was a chai tea ice cream covered in liquors. The staff there were all so kind. Everyone from the serving manager (SO FRIENDLY) to the bar guys dropping the cocktails (actively interested in what we liked about our cocktails). By the time we left an hour and a half later, there was a waitlist building. If it is anything like the london branches, there will be a 2 hour wait shortly after and for good reason. Next time we are definitely coming for breakfast, which sounds amazing, and another dinner or three. COME TO NYC, DISHOOM! You'd make a fortune off of me alone. read more

I don't usually take the time to write a review, but feel that I have to comment on the amazing experiences I have had at Dishoom. Whenever in Edinburgh, I make a point of taking work colleagues so they can experience first hand. Through our visits, we have tried nearly every item on the menu, and have loved every one. Even though you may have to wait a small amount of time for your table, the pre-dinner drinks in the Permit room are a great part of the experience. If you are in Edinburgh, make a point of stopping at Dishoom! read more

Dishoom - Indian Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

Very good food, nice ambiance, and easy enough to get a table on a weeknight. Most memorable dish was probably the okra fries, how do they get that texture? Crispy outside and tender inside with excellent flavour. House black daal was okay but not that memorable. Chicken ruby was delicious, and texture was good on the chicken. The Edinburgh chef's special was also very good and roti was thin and buttery (or greasy depending on how you look at it). Would definitely come back or check out their other locations! read more

I came with a group of ladies for a reunion. We were waited in very attentively and the menu was explained to us how it worked.... we were a big group of about 10 and they handled us very well. Food was amazing with different Indian choices than you would get at a usual Indian restaurant... roti bread was delicious and soft. We were advised so that we didn't over order as they knew how big the portions would be.... what's more as a lovely treat the head server gave us our first drinks free ?? Which was very generous... I would recommend the Bollywood Bellenis they were delicious... would definitely go back there .... read more

The dishes we ordered were so delicious! I recommend the chef's special! Server was very friendly, as were the gentlemen behind the bar! Maybe leave the kids at home, however. They do allow children, but the setting and ambiance is probably not the best place for them. read more

Amazing food and great helpful service. Enjoyed eating outdoors in Edinburgh. Dishoom IPA went well.

The food was really good. We really liked the concept of smaller dishes to share. The food isn't what you'd find in your local Indian (Bangladeshi) restaurant- there's no tikka masala or korma, this is the kind of street food you'd find on the streets of India. The black daal was lovely, a perfect balance of spice & flavour. The chicken thighs & fish from the grill were tender & had a lovely flavour. Despite being busy the service was attentive & professional. The spiced chai cider is worth a try if you fancy something other than beer read more

When the Chicken Baryani is served in a pot with flour pasted on its rim to ensure the flavors are continuously cooked by the trapped steam, just the way Baryani is supposed to be cooked, then it's clear that the establishment isn't playing around with authenticity of its food. From the moment you walk in you are made aware of the class and style Dishoom has to offer. Very professional yet nice staff. The bartenders that made our drinks while we waited for our table were both very sweet and creative. Though it was extremely busy but still they carefully listened to what we would like to drink and crafted the drinks perfectly to our tastes. It's a fusion restaurant and that's made very clear in every aspect of Dishoom. From the decor to cocktails to table ware and serving dishes, everything is clearly chosen to reflect traditional Mumbai Indian culture yet mixed beautifully with contemporary style. Food recommendations; Chicken Baryani, Chicken ruby, and don't miss out the amazingly scrumptious Kali/Black daal. Of course the meal wasn't complete without the delicious malai kulfi and chai. They don't accept reservations but it's completely worth the wait. Really wish they opened a branch here is US. read more

The ambiance at Dishoom Edinburgh was amazing. Long wait for dinner, but it was totally okay because there is an amazing bar downstairs. Had great service and an amazing Piña colada!! Once we were brought to our table, the server was super friendly and helpful with recommendations.We got 4 drinks, an appetizer, and 3 main courses for £98. Definitely more expensive but we felt like the experience and food was totally worth it. We tried the brunch the next morning, but the dinner was definitely the star. Try to get there early for dinner/get reservations or the wait will probably be over an hour read more

Simply some of the best Indian food I have ever eaten. Wonderful flavor. Great beers. Excellent service.

What an experience! Love love the atmosphere, service and the food. The okra sticks, garlic naan and aubergine was especially yummy. This is a must visit restaurant when in Edinburgh! read more

Looooove Dishoom! Discovered it in London in 2020. We were so stoked to find it in Edinburgh. 2 years later and it did not disappoint! The garlic naan is to die for. Actually, everything we've ever had there has been scrumptious! I wish there was a location in San Diego. Can't wait to go back. read more

I have yet to see anything in Edinburgh but after this meal I can still leave satisfied! Didn't have a reservation but it wasn't an issue, I was seated immediately. Ordered the fried okra and chicken ruby and was blown away by how amazing it was! If you are sensitive to spice (I'm not) this is a perfect meal. It was rich in flavor but not spicy. I was in heaven after this meal. Also ordered the pistachio dessert because it came recommended on Yelp but I could have done without. If my meal was spicy I think it would have cooled down the heat. Service was fantastic. I hear it's a nightmare in London to get into Dishoom, I'm so happy I waited to have their food in Edinburgh. A absolute must to dine here! read more
