Really fantastic atmosphere with delicious food and cocktails. Not as spicy as I expected but still really tasty. It looks like a more expensive place than it actually is and we found it be great value. Long queue if you've not booked and the bar was really packed but I'd say it's worth the wait and the squeeze to get a table! read more

Met a friend on Shoreditch High Street for a lunch catch up and we spotted the windows of Dishoom. Intrigued we followed the signs to the entrance. We found a beautiful little oasis for an alfresco lunch. With help from the waitress, we selected various bits and pieces to share. I can't remember what the dishes were called, but I do remember the lentil dish and roti, they were divine. Will definitely be coming back for more. read more

Dishoom was recommended to us by multiple different people. It was absolutely delicious! Decor and atmosphere were both wonderful. The food felt authentic with a little twist of fun. Will definitely be back! read more

Love this place!! Fantastic ambience, delicious drinks, and the good was spot on. This place has eclectic decor and very nice vibe. Highly recommend! read more

Came here with a big group for dinner. Very cool vibe. I didn't think it was the best Indian food I had ever had, but it was very solid. Keep in mind that it is Persian Indian fusion and not just straight up Indian food. The naan was quite delicious. read more

Love love this authentic Bombay cafe - I have heard about Dishoom almost as long as I have been in London and was excited to try here for dinner - there was minimal wait and we were able to wait at the bar anyway trying the whiskey sour and the far far chips (its made of lentils so should be healthy) for mains we went full veggie and got pau bhaji (delicious melt in your mouth), black daal (good if you like the creamy kind - felt like someone just dumped a huge vat of heavy cream in there mm) ans the mutter paneer which I adored since I am in love with this dish and this was one of the best ones I have tasted. Will be back to try their dessert and chai! read more

Very good Indian place: clean, close-enough-to-authentic, and you don't walk out smelling like you've been sitting in a kitchen all day (especially if you're wearing a sweater that day). Chai is good, but pricey. And their wifi is called ChaiFi (super clever name, but didn't work that well when we went). read more

I haven't even paid my bill yet. This place is amazing the lamb raan and black daal combination is beyond amazing. I would fly back to London from the US just for this. read more

LOVE this place! I've not tried any of their other London venues, but highly recommend this Shoreditch branch. The service is impeccable and every dish is delicious. Can't get enough of the black daal (lunch menu) and bacon naan (breakfast menu) signature dishes. Try and sit outside if the weather permits or book a table upstairs. Downstairs is fine but slightly lacking in the same atmosphere. read more

Perfect. I was having a bad night and this still ranks amongst the best meals I've ever had. I wish I could eat there every night.

The food in this place is incredible, really good and very affordable. Great value for price for sure! The terrace is great too, nice exotic atmosphere, cushions, sweet tea dishes and colours. The only downside is the queue. You might end up queuing for almost and hour and when you get in there is another queue which is annoying. Try to go on days that aren't too busy, it's worth a visit read more

We stumbled upon this place but after having heard rave reviews from friends in the past, decided to try our luck and attempt to get a table. To our surprise we were told we would only have to wait 5 minutes and were given a table in the verandah at the back of the restaurant. This area is a lot calmer than the main restaurant but still had a lovely atmosphere. We chose five dishes between us, the stand outs for me being the Pau Bhaji and the signature Black House Daal. We also sampled two of the cocktails, both were lovely and very reasonably priced (for London) at £7.50. The bill came to £49.50, including service which we thought was very reasonable for such a lovely lunch. Can't wait to return! read more

First time in London and eating Indian food. This place was amazing. The wait was a little excessive (you have to wait to get a pager, and thats when the real wait starts) but during our wait for the pager we were offered some tea/shots which was nice! After receiving our pager, we waited by the bar. There's a really cool crowd that attends, the food came out fast! Def recommend the lamb and you HAVE to have the Garlic naan. Delish! read more

Went here for dinner and drinks with a friend a couple months ago. After hearing all the hype about Dishoom, we were really excited to try it out. When we arrived, there was a wait (as always) but it went really fast and we were able to grab cocktails at the bar before sitting down. I have to say the cocktails were 10/10. The service was good and the ambiance was nice but honestly, I found the food to be overpriced and underwhelming. The vegan options were very limited. I found this odd as normally I find tons of options at Indian places. My friend had a chicken dish and also didn't love it. Dishoom is good but there are much better Indian spots in the area. read more

Best Indian food and best overall dining experience I've ever had. 5 stars across the board. Food, service, atmosphere, price. All exceptional. No wonder this place always has a line out the door. If you're in London, this place is a must. read more

I had heard that London had some of the best Indian food around, and OMG, we found the best here! The Lamb Chops are absolutely amazing!!! As a side, the Greens are phenomenal!!! The wait for a table might be long, but soooooo freaking worth it! Can't wait to visit London again because Dishoom will absolutely be on my list of stops! read more

My wife and I went here on our vacation. Loved it. I'm not big on Indian food, but I'm sold on this place. The server had us try all different kinds of dishes and had us order the perfect amount. Great drinks as well. Highly recommended. read more

Loved this place! Great ambiance, felt really authentic, and very attentive service. The food is much more interesting than many of the Indian dishes I've eaten in the U.S. The cocktails were lovely as well, and prices on par for the neighborhood. The staff was also very accommodating when my friends and I were running late for our reservation. read more

I was really excited about the new Shoreditch branch of this super smart-casual Covent Garden Bombay Cafe style cafe-bar-restaurant, having reviewed that one so positively as a restaurant. Our experience there this week did not disappoint the food was the same tasty, sensitively spiced and priced, top quality fusion of cuisines and time periods, such as the simple but delicious masala (king) prawn main dish with its garnish and dip, the bowl of almost purple bowl of well-simmered house 'black daal', and the garlic naan with its minced garlic butter and fresh coriander sprinkle. The service was active and excellent as was the lovely local pale ale we drank from bottles. The added ingredient at the Shoreditch branch was the restaurant's post-industrial warehouse chic style setting with its large windows facing Shoreditch High Street and its prettier heated courtyard bar entrance opposite the cool Conran Boundary Hotel's Albion restaurant. Inside the place was typically 'decorated' with wide aluminum ceiling pipes, most of which can't surely have a function,dark tables of all but the largest cover sizes, some in a slightly raised back area with people-watching views, and a big clock that looks like it could have actually been at the station in Bombay during colonial times. So although the place is less glitzy than its Covent Garden sister, it is both in keeping with both its current Shoreditch location and creative plus City fringe clientele and perhaps also more sympathetic with its cultural-historical references: A kind of 'Pizza Very Far East'? The only downside was that (just towards the close) the coutyard was closed and the exit, and hence only smoking area, was next to a strip club, which led to an unnecessary if polite exchange between my female smoking companion and one of their bouncers it would be more ideal as a fire exit! read more

The place has a good vibe. Food is decent more authentic than other Indian restaurants in London. Butter chicken was really tender, chai was awesome, same goes for the pav bhaji. The samosas were bit of a let down but that's a minor gripe and the espresso more than made up for it. read more

Great food in a trendy and classy setting. The lamb chops were amazing, but then so was everything else. Imagine the juiciest chicken tikka, the most delicate naan and the crispiest samosas you've ever eaten. Then go to Dishoom and eat what you have just imagined. Get there early mind you, as it's a popular place and they don't reserve tables for less than 6 people for dinner. read more

I've enjoyed this place very much! I came here for breakfast and it was awesome. That mix of Indian - English breakfast was surprisingly good! I had the naan roll with eggs and bacon... and the chai very good too. It's a must if you like Indian food and you want to change your regular breakfast, and you have many options. A warm place with a great service! I will repeat for sure :) read more

Fantastic Indian food in the heart of Shoreditch. The atmosphere alone is worth a trip, and then you add on the delicious food and it is near perfection. We enjoyed tika masala, paneer, and lamb, all with deep, complex, and spicy flavors. The tea was the perfect accompaniment to our meal. Definitely worth the trip if you find yourself in Shoreditch! read more

Best Indian food in London. I go at least once a month. Pork chops are great! So are samosas.

Great atmosphere, really good starters but just ok on the mains. The highlights were cocktails prior to dinner and the chicken pomegranate salad... the ruby curry was the biggest disappointment of the meal. I would go back, but would probably just order a bunch of starters to share - if you want a good curry, stick to your favorite local or brick lane joint. read more

A night away in Shore-ditch, and we stumbled across Dishoom on a Sunday afternoon promising to ourselves to visit later that evening. So glad we did, 8pm on a Sunday and positively buzzing. The wait for a table proved not a chore but a brilliant excuse to take in their awesome cocktails and the fantastic decor. Of all the delicious food, the Spicy Lamb Chops could make you cry with joy, quite possibly the yummiest thing I have tasted for a long time if ever!! Go there, feast and enjoy!! read more

Lovely ambience! Delicious! Price is right. Chai is spicy and yummy. Lamb raan too-- so flavorful! I have zero complaints, but I highly recommend coming for lunch so you can make a reservation. It can get packed at night with long waits. Request an outdoor table, if possible. Such a cute little patio area read more

Spring morning breakfast in the outside seating area! Quick, attentive service and accommodating to dietary requirements. Great sausage and egg naan - soft naan and tasty filling! The fire toast was great - and the pineapple-pink-peppercorn jam was delicious! read more

Best food I've ever tasted. Hands down. No more needs to be said. Cocktails were incredible.

I came here for a birthday lunch and the service was great - attentive waiter, free chai refills, and they helped organize a surprise dessert. The food was delicious and staff very accommodating to a big group. Great atmosphere too - this place is a must-visit when you're in London. read more

It was my first time trying this palace Ando would say that the food was amazing. I tried the chicken curry and naan. I would definitely stop by to this place where I'm in London. read more

Great service, fun ambiance. The food is amazing. It's normally very crowded and they don't take reservations for small groups, but it is definitely worth the wait. You can wait at the bar and order a few appetizers, I recommend the samosas and okra fries. Once you are seated the house black daal, chicken tikka, ruby chicken and accompany with white rice! read more

I love the Shoreditch venue! Every. Single. Time. The overall design of the space is engaging and beautiful, imbued with humor and delightful details. We finally went for brunch last weekend, after friends had stated (time and again!) that it was their favourite brunch in city. Once again the food impressed me. We all had the sausage & egg naan roll and shared the yogurt & granola. Each were absolutely delicious! Unfortunately they were out of chai when we ordered (really??!) but if you're lucky enough to order you do get unlimited refills. This is the same chai they graciously serve down the line while you stand for an hour (rain or shine) waiting for your table!* I've been for dinner several times - and at both locations - and each visit has been a great experience. No matter who I take with me, they enjoy it too. The staff are adept at helping to construct a table menu that is well balanced; just point out what you have your heart set on and they'll recommend other dishes to complete the meal. I particularly love the grilled paneer skewers. *There is always a bit of a wait, so I recommend going during the week to avoid the worst of it. You can wait in the bar on weekend mornings when you simply have to endure the crowd to enjoy the brunch, since they stop serving at noon. read more

Excellent Oriental Lunch for £30 in a unique colonial ambiance! Dishoom serves Indian and Iranian excellent dishes that are perfect for share. We got the Chicken Ruby, which was amazing! In addition, we got the Iranian lamb dish, which was also great (a note for the cook: the lamb was just a little bit dry) and the daal, superb! Including two naans, we paid in total 30 pounds. Reasonable prices and excellent plates served in a really beautiful restaurant with colonial style in the heart of the trendy neighborhood of Shoreditch. Do not miss it in your next trip to London! read more

After a long day of playing a tourist it was a good oasis for Indian food and good drinks. We had paneer tikka, chole batura, vada pav and pav bhaji. Pretty good food. The drinks are nice though i did not like their house recipe for Old Fashioned. The place is hip with keen, friendly and engaging staff with decent mix of music. read more

Ah-maze-ing... Great atmosphere. Great food. Also, lots of dairy free options in case those you're dining with are lactose intolerant. Do it. Eat it. Now. read more

My boyfriend and I ate here for his birthday dinner, and luckily were able to get a dinner reservation early at 5:45 before the 6:00 p.m. cutoff time. If possible, I'd recommend getting an early dinner reservation, or coming early and planning to wait awhile - even on weeknights, this place is PACKED, but worth it. We both had the chicken ruby along with naan and samosas, all of which were incredible. As others have already mentioned, the chicken ruby is a must-try and some of the best Indian food I've ever had. The service was attentive and surprisingly fast despite the popularity of the place. We'll definitely be back! read more

Was skeptical about coming here as I was dreading a long wait, but am so glad we decided to try it! The queue outside was long when we arrived, but we were promptly checked in and given warm chais while we stood in line. The line moved fast and we made it inside to the bar area to complete our wait with drinks in hand. We were seated before we knew it. Staff was warm, efficient and helpful throughout. But let's talk about the food! We ordered a lot of it, and all plates and bowls were mopped clean by the end. Ruby chicken curry, chicken tikka, black daal, bowl of greens, naan, roti, rice. The flavors were outstanding- no surprise why this place is so popular. Will definitely return next time we are in London. read more

Love Dishoom Shoreditch! As one of our first meals when we moved to London it has definitely left a lasting impression- whether it be breakfast, lunch or dinner! Be prepared to wait a while for a table if you haven't booked but you won't be disappointed once you get in - not only is the food on point, but the ambiance is second to none and the staff are all super friendly, attentive and will tell you when you've ordered way too much (what other restaurant can you think of that will tell you that!) This is our go to place for breakfast, especially for when we have visitors in town - get a seat on the verandah, sit back and enjoy! read more

I'm a huge Dishoom fan! I was at this branch last week and a few weeks before that and many many times before that!. I love the place, the set up, the staff and of course the food. What can I say, I love Indian street food, and especially Mumbai street food and Dishoom pretty much for me hits the nail on the head with its dishes. It's my go to place when I need to get my hit of Indian food. For me I love the Keema pav, the chicken or lamb biriyani both are beautifully cooked.And the bhang lassi is unbelievable add the rum and your onto a winner! I could go on and on about this place but I'm sure you get the gist! I would defo recommend to anyone to pop in and go crazy with the menu!..See you very soon Dishoom! read more
