We were so full after touring Burrough market, that we almost cancelled our reservation here, and that would have been tragic. Dishoom was one of our favorite spots in London. Since we were full, we ordered small and it was the perfect amount for us: Vegetable Samosa - get it Garlic naan - get it, goes great with this entree Roti - not ideal for this entree, but maybe with something else, delicious, but too thin, not enough structure, thin tortilla like Basmati rice - get it for this entree Ruby chicken - get it bc it's so good! Our server also surprised us with chocolate lava cake and lightly spicy ice cream to wish us good luck on the marathon and it was so good!!! The perfect ending to an amazing meal. Do not miss out on Dishoom! read more

Worth the hype! I've heard a lot about Dishoom and was curious if the food would live up to the hype...and the answer is YES, YES IT DOES. The food is so good and so flavorful! I wish I had more people with me so that we could've ordered more dishes. My party of 3 ordered: 1 chicken ruby, 1 house daal, 1 garlic naan, 2 bowls of rice, samosas, fried okra, and some tea. Everything was DELICIOUS! The daal was fantastic. But man oh man was the Chicken Ruby addicting! The Chicken Ruby is their take on butter chicken and it was the perfect balance of acidity and spice and sweetness. We wanted to order another Chicken Ruby but we couldn't eat anymore. Would recommend this place to anyone! So good read more

I've been obsessed with Indian food lately so last time I was in London I needed to try this locals popular spot. Casual spot with vibrant atmosphere. Bold Indian-inspired flavors. The dishes were packed with depth and richness. Our server was helpful explaining the menu and suggesting dishes. Some of our favorite courses were the house black daal, okra fries, Butter chicken and garlic naan. They also have a creative drink menu with alcoholic and non-alcoholic options. The chai tea is delicious! The place can get busy so I strongly suggest reservation but they are also walk-in friendly. Please come to New York!! read more

Dishoom continues to be my most favorite stop when I am in London. My favorite has to be the Goa fish curry and the chicken biryani. Also the lamb chops are not to be missed. Service is amazing always, we were seated within 10 minutes on a busy Saturday night. ambiance is nice. Clean and nicely decorated. Can't wait to come back and can't wait for Dishoom Las Vegas to open! read more

My favorite place in London, possibly the world. Saw on "Somebody Feed Phil" and knew I had to stop in next time I was in the city. Came with family and got a table in the sun room. Will never forget our experience. Staff was incredibly kind and helped make suggestions and made our 3 year old's experience great too. The food was incredible! From small shareable plates to larger curry plates. So so so so good. 100% recommend to anyone looking for a great spot in London. read more

This place was phenomenal. If I could teleport to any restaurant, it'd be this Dishoom. We made reservations so we were seated fairly quickly. Note that the inside is quite tight and the tables are very close together. We ordered garlic naan and it was so dang good. The fresh pieces of garlic were perfection. We also ordered the chicken Ruby and - wow. The chicken was perfectly tender. The sauce was so flavorful and delicious. I still haven't stopped thinking about it months later. Highly recommend this spot! read more

Really good, lives up to the hype! We didn't have a reservation but stopped but stopped by around noon and were seated immediately. They almost seated us at a table with sofas (living room style) but we asked to move to a table and they were able to accommodate. If my memory serves, I think we ordered the carnaby special, house black daal, chicken ruby, and chili chicken. I can't remember why the waffle style chips were called (or if it was complimentary) but those were really good! A fun way to try out all the different sauces. Everything we ordered was delicious but our favorite would have to be the ruby chicken, it's the closest thing to butter chicken. The other 2 curries were also rich in flavor. I really liked their chili chicken, but my bf thought it was too spicy to handle. Overall it was an amazing meal and I can't wait for it to open in NYC when I visit! read more

This was my second time eating at Dishoom, and while I enjoyed it the first time, this time was even better because we weren't as jetlagged this time around. But definitely make a reservation because it's a popular spot amongst all of their locations and it fills up quick. We got The dishoom margarita - you'll like this if you like really sweet drinks! And the spice on the side also gives it a good kick. Kingfisher - this was such a clean mild beer, like I can see this being a good way to get into beers if you don't like them Basmati rice - pretty standard rice, but make sure you know which dishes come with what because you probably will need to order rice on the side. Naan - the garlic naan is obviously more flavorful and delicious than the plain. But when paired with all of the flavorful food, you can't really tell as much so honestly I would probably just get the plain next time to save some money. Chote papad with mango chutney - the mango chutney is really good! The sweetness and spiciness is balanced really well, and it's served with a crispy chip like papad. Methi gosht and paratha (1/2 plate, Chef's Carnaby Special) - I might prefer the paratha over the naan! It has more of a chewy texture to it. The curry had a little bit of a kick but was also pretty sweet. We definitely could have gone for a full plate though. And I really liked the cucumbers and onions, it was super refreshing and clean amongst all the strong flavors at the table. Dishoom chicken tikka - this was one of my favorites purely because it was more my level of spice. Where so far everything else just had a kick, this gave a little more of a burn - enough to make your nose run a little but not enough to make your tongue suffer. Gunpowder potatoes - really good potatoes, but also pretty standard potatoes. The lemon and white sauce are so so good in making them lighter and I wish they gave more white sauce. Because it could do with being even lighter. With all the curries and naans and rice, idk that having potatoes on the side is my favorite. While they're good, everything just feels really heavy, and I'd rather just get something more refreshing. Chicken ruby - I feel like this is the dish that everyone really gets. And I can see why! Super creamy, sweet, and flavorful, it's kind of similar to butter chicken. The food comes out pretty quickly and the workers are so friendly. And I love the little mango candies they bring out along with the bill. read more

I feel like I've thought about Dishoom at least once a day ever since trying it during my most recent trip to London. This is a rite of passage for tourists and there are multiple locations across London to check out so you have many opportunities to try it! We waited about ~30 minutes and another group waiting in line said it was "worth the wait" and they weren't wrong. There were only 2 of us and we feasted like queens. You must get the okra fries, chili cheese toast, ruby chicken (this is THE dish), and chili broccoli salad. If you have room for dessert, I highly recommend the kulfi which is pretty much like ice cream but in a popsicle. We also had the methi gosht and paratha along with the gunpowder potatoes, but that isn't anything to write home about. The service was friendly and efficient. The actual restaurant itself has darker/dimmed lighting inside and I felt like we had to use our flash to look at the menus (or maybe our eyes are just that old). Overall, it was an amazing experience and I would recommend coming here at least once during your trip to London. To be honest, at one point, we were thinking about going back again for a second time. read more

Dishoom is a must visit when you are in London! The vibe here is so cool. We came for breakfast and I believe you can make reservations here but walk ins are ok too. Sometimes the lines get long but it moves fast. Their house chai is an absolute must and it is bottomless! They have the recipe right at the entrance. Naan rolls are super yummy, we tired sausage naan roll. Luckily our timing was a transition between breakfast and all day dining so I also got to try Vada pav which is probably the best Vada pav I have ever had! I can't wait to go back and try rest of all day dining. read more

IYKYK, Indian food in the UK is a must! It was so hard to decide where but my friends and the internet recommended we try Dishoom. Oh my gosh this place is so dang good! Reservations are a must because this is one of the most popular places to get Indian cuisine in London. We arrived before our reservations and sat at the bar. Once our table was ready, we were seated. The restaurant is quite massive. The bar is reminiscent of a typical pub--dark, cozy, old school. As you walk into the dining side it's bright, lots of plants and art, and mismatched tables and chairs for ranging party sizes. Service is fantastic, all of our waitresses are kind, accommodating, and fun to chat to. Everyone who helped us were efficient. We shared family style, ordering the Chef's Caranby Special, Makmali Paneer, Chicken Ruby, House Black Daal, Garlic Naan, and Basmati Rice. Hands down, my favorite curry was the black daal. It is so freaking addicting--creamy, rich, and delicious. The other curries were superb with a hint of spice, plenty of seasoning, and decent meat portions. Our starches were all great accompaniments. For dessert, they had some of the Coconutty Fruit Crumble. I took a bite and the crumble was good--sweet, coconutty, and filled with fruit. I decided to order a House Chai with Oat Milk. It was one of the best chais and a mixture of all the goodness--sweet, spicy, bold, and creamy. Dishoom is a well loved restaurant chain in England. Their Caranby location is off Kingly, which is a walking only path. Make reservations in advance! By the time we left there were at least 40 people waiting outside because it's that good. A true must try when visiting or living in London. read more

Dishoom was definitely one of the most recommended restaurants for us to try when we were in London for our first time, and I'm glad to say that it did not disappoint! We made a reservation for lunch at this location (Carnaby) on a Monday and it wasn't too busy at all when we arrived. The interior is a bit dark but part of the main dining area does open up to a bright and well-lit section which was nice during the daytime. We started with the okra fries and pau bhaji, both of which were super flavorful! For the pau bhaji, the combo of the somewhat spicy mashed vegetables with the buttery buns was an absolute delight. Then for the main courses, my fiance and I shared the black daal and the methi gosht with paratha (which is the cafe special at the Carnaby location). Both dishes were fantastic, and we definitely used up all of the paratha to soak up the curries. All in all, what a delicious meal and I'll absolutely be back again if I'm in London in the future! read more

We were super glad to have made a reservation for an early Tuesday dinner. 30 mins after we were seated at 5:30PM, the whole place was packed and a queue had begun forming outside in the street. The restaurant is comfortable but feels small and cosy. We had a super friendly server who offered a great tour of the menu, and gave us some advice on how to order for 2 people. Well, the choices were excellent, but we did end up with wayyyyy too much food, so be careful overestimating your appetites! To kick things off, the Chota Papad was a fun, 3D-take on the poppadom, and came with great chutneys. We enjoyed the Carnaby Chef's Special, Methi Gosht with paratha; super tender lamb and great warmth. It's offered in a half-portion if needed. However, the top dish for us was the Chicken Ruby. To this homecoming Brit, it felt like a "proper" curry and had a lovely nostalgia of high street Indian restaurants of the 90s. We were talked into adding a small plate, and really loved the Fish Amritsari - but this, plus a roti, took the volume of food over the top for us, so we were sad to walk away from the leftovers. Next time, I'd stick with one entree, one small plate and the magical hexagonal poppadom bites. Dishoom deserves its accolades, and this particular location is highly recommended for a laid back, comfortable and welcoming experience. read more

Dishoom has been on my list to try in London, and I'm so glad I went. Even on a Thursday evening there was a crowd of people queuing up before they opened. My mom and I typically always order the same things whenever we go to Indian restaurants: chicken tikka masala, naan, and basmati rice. So that's exactly what we ordered - except the chicken tikka masala here at Dishoom is called the chicken ruby. The chicken was super tender and flavorful, the naan was buttery, and the curry was prefect on the rice. Do note that the restaurant gets quite nosy and is a bit dark, so not great for photos, but all in all, great experience. read more

Dishoom is certainly well worth a visit! But is it the best indian food you'll ever have? Read on... For starters, make a reservation unless you want to be stuck on an hour's long line to enter. The inside is so woodsy and charming, you can tell a lot of thought went into the ambiance of the place, and that alone you should take a few minutes to savor before you eat. When you're done, take a step down to the bathroom and on the way you can actually view the cookstaff prepping everything on site! The staff is super friendly and helpful with this innovative menu. A few dishes can be shared between groups and my family and I ordered the black daal, goan monkfish curry, tandoori chicken, chicken ruby, with sides of roti, naan and poppadums. In a word, everything tasted surprisingly unique, in a good way! The black daal has a smoky finish. The goan monkfish curry was delicious, but had such a nice sour cream taste to it, it was addicting. The chicken ruby was not as heavy as a tikka masala but had plenty of spice. And the chai I had was honestly, perfect for my tastes. For dessert, we had the Kala Khatta Nice Cream, which is interesting. It was really like eating a raspberry creamsicle with salt sprinkled on top. Even the menu warns you the taste might be weird at first, but you'll be hooked. With all of these niceties being said, I will say, the food was good but there is another restaurant in my heart that takes the place of best Indian food in the UK. There were a few duds like the poppadums and chocolate chai, but still overall, I would recommend a visit to Dishoom if you're looking for a unique Indian experience! read more

The best meal we had in London! My friend recommended this restaurant to us and after reading all the positive reviews I knew we had to try it. I made a reservation and was glad I did as the walk-up queue was very long. We were seated right away and the server was very knowledgeable about the menu and gave us lots of recommendations. My favorite was the sweet and flavorful ruby chicken and fresh garlic naan. We also tried the samosas which were crispy with a little kick, the jackfruit biryani, murgh malai, raita, and house daal. My husband enjoyed the chili chicken and chicken tikka. Everyone enjoyed the food including my dad who isn't the biggest fan of Indian cuisine. If you are taking a trip to London, don't miss Dishoom and make a reservation! read more

So good we had to visit twice. Dishoom is an absolute must when you're in London and craving incredible Indian food. The seasoning is perfectly balanced -- rich, flavorful, and comforting without being overly spicy, which was exactly what we needed on a cold day. We didn't mind the 40-minute wait at all. The staff brought out tea and other drinks for those of us in line, which made the time fly by. Honestly, it turned into part of the experience. My advice: get there early, be ready to wait a bit, and enjoy some good conversation while you do. Dishoom is well worth it -- every single time. read more

Dishoom - Black Dial and something else I can't remember but everything on the menu was epic - Indian Near Me - London, XGL

I had high expectations, and the staff were all lovely as was the decor, but I was just very underwhelmed with the food (especially at the price point). We didn't have reservations and queued for about an hour on Saturday night, which is to be expected for someplace so popular and didn't damper our experience. The interior rooms are dimly lit and I really liked the ambience. The cocktails were also great with interesting, subtle twists on traditional favorites. I had the espresso martini and my boyfriend had the margarita. Both were great and we were looking forward to our meal. While nothing was bad, nothing was great either. The butterflied prawns were flavorful, but overly cooked and overpriced for only four medium-sized prawns. The Ruby Chicken and chicken and mango salad were our favorites from what we ordered, but while tasty, I wouldn't go out of my way for either. We ordered a side of garlic naan to sop up the sauce and it came out room temp/cooled and didn't even taste garlicky. After spending about $185 US on an ok/decent meal, I'm not confident I'd go back unless for cocktails. read more

We were able to snag a table for lunch on a beautiful day. This place lives up to the hype. Started off with a crisp Kingfisher beer. It's brewed in England and tasted great. The papadum puffs were interesting. The accompanying mango chutney was badass. We were mildly disappointed that there were no chicken dishes made with white meat, but we got over it. The blackened prawns were excellent. The jackfruit biryani was delicious, with a very different flavor profile than other biryanis that we have eaten. It was spicy. The dish that impressed me the most was the black daal. It had a rich, complex flavor. The raita and garlic naan were excellent. Dishoom can hold its own against any Indian restaurant in New York. Totally worth the trouble! read more

Let's talk amazing "Authentic" East Indian food. Curry heaven. This was really really great food on a scale that I cut above the best. It was recommended by our driver who was familiar with Indian food having been there a long time and said that because of the quality of the ingredients in the food they get in London And it's the best recipe to come from India with the people making it the old style way the flavors are off the hook. It was so wonderful to taste. Something that had authentic flavors like this. It really doesn't matter what you order off the menu because it's going to be an amazing experience.

After getting many recommendations on Dishoom, we had to make it work. And so for our one week trip to London, I looked at all of the Dishooms in Central London for reservations and the latest one I could get was 4:30 PM on a Friday, (everything else was booked) and so, that's what we did. We ate scantily all day awaiting our early dinner at Dishoom -- and it delivered. Having tried Indian in London before, I knew it was some of the best... but Dishoom went beyond. With four of us, we ordered a lot. By far the best dish was their signature Black Daal. It was buttery and smooth, and it melts in your mouth. I could had eaten the whole thing myself. (In fact, I swiped the last few bites despite my full belly!) The next best thing? Probably the New Keema Pau, which was this ground lamb with fluffy toasted buns. Delicious. And the next best thing? The Monkfish Curry. The fish was perfectly cooked -- and we kept eating the curry even after the fish pieces were all snatched up. We also had the chicken tikka, okra fries, gunpowder potatoes, mattar paneer, grilled greens, and the warm aubergine chutney. All were great as well, although the aubergine chutney was a little intense. But it was still interesting to try. Even though we ate at 4:30 PM, we feasted and stayed full well into the evening. I will definitely come back upon future returns to London. Perhaps I'll make rezies ahead of time so we don't have to eat so early (but honestly, I'm getting old and eating at 4:30 isn't actually that far off :P) Go eat there. Don't worry about what time it is. Anytime is a good time for Dishoom! read more

I arrived at 11:40 and was told there was no server for the outside area until 12:15. Could I get on a wait list, I asked. No need. So we walked around Carnaby Street and returned at 12:09 to find all the outside tables were taken. I saw a table open up and was told that it was too small for our party. I went back again and told the hostess we'd make it work, and by then I think my pestering had worn her down and we got a table. Yay! This shouldn't have happened in the first place but yay! Otherwise we would have been waiting around an hour and this might have messed up our plans (we had tickets) for later in the day. We got our perennial favorite, Gunpowder Potatoes, as well as my husband's new fave, a lamb dish (though I can't remember the name now). We also tried the Channa Salad and the Ruby Chicken. The latter included only about 5 not large pieces of chicken, so a little skimpy for the price. And as always I delighted in their Chocolate Chai (the best anywhere) and had another Chocolate Chili Pudding, even though I'd had one a week earlier, because I loved it so much. read more

I love this place so much I went twice in three days! It gets a long line so prepare to wait or arrive early.

Unbelievable. Some of the best Indian food I have ever had and I was very concerned about the Q and not being able to make reservations coming from New York where I make reservations for everything, but it was a super simple process. The staff was so friendly they handed out warm drinks while we were waiting in the cold and then you get sent to the bar once you're able to get inside the drink options included chai, fresh mint tea, or sherry And they said it was going to be about an hour wait and I think in total we waited about 25 minutes and had a great conversation with the line manager. Now onto the food, the lamb Samosa and chef special with lamb absolutely stole the show. They were incredible. I also loved the chicken biryani and the vegetable samosas and of course the garlic naan was delicious where the restrooms are when you go downstairs separated is the kitchen and you can see them making the fresh on and it looks incredible . The Dehue chicken tikka was also delicious but something that I didn't realize is that there wouldn't be sauce with that just something to keep in mind, but it was incredible and super flavorful. I feel like the Soho Carnaby location has slightly less of a vibe compared to the others, but it was still incredible inside beautifully decorated. The drinks were delicious and the staff was phenomenal. read more

So this place is definitely a tourist spot, but they do it well with the ambience, low lit lighting, and food. I like the touch with offering warm chai or sherry the people waiting on line. It shows that they are appreciative of your patronage. The food is honed down to a well executed formula especially with the daal. I don't know if I've had better black daal before. One star off--What lacks however is the 2 hour seating limit rule. I understand that diners shouldn't linger. However, on busy nights where you can't find your server to order some more dishes (mainly dessert at end of meal), it leaves a sour taste in my mouth because you're basically kicked out despite wanting to order dessert and being refused because you literally just made it 2 minutes short of the two hour limit! read more

We've stopped in several times & tonight we took a couple of first timers, before the rush. We were asked the standard "have you ever been here?" & for the first time ever, received zero response from the staff when we noted we had first timers... she just turned & walked away - no welcome, no get bent, nothing. We explained how it works & eventually ordered. Our food was great but I don't think the service won over this couple as repeats. It's lousy, as staff are usually amazing at giving the run down & tips when we bring in someone new. Total was $145/ 4 with bar drinks read more

If you're in London you definitely have to make a pit stop for Indian food. As for Dishoom, this place definitely checks that box of semi-upscale good Indian food, but honestly nothing that would truly blow your mind compared to some mom and pop shops you may be able to find in other areas. The environment definitely gives tourist friendly and the interior is elaborately designed, however I feel like the portion sizes are definitely lacking and with prices being a bit higher than your conventional Indian spot makes this place slightly underwhelming. Food is still decently good but I feel like you should be able to find a better deal. read more

Dishoom came highly recommended by a couple of acquaintances, so we knew we had to give it a try. The first night we went, the line was so long that we decided to come back another night with reservations--and it was definitely worth it!

Ah. Loved Dishoom Covent Garden and booked a reservation at this location since that was full. We were seated near the front. It's missing the dim, sort of charm that the Covent Garden location has. Not sure if my memory of Dishoom failed me, but I found the food quite underwhelming and the vegetarian options so slim. I asked the waiter for a main entree recommendation to pair with the veggie biryani and he recommended potatoes. Was an odd rec in my opinion and I last minute remembered the daal and ordered that. Sad, but may have to leave my memory of Dishoom behind. read more

My son has lived in Edinburgh for the past 3 years and when we visit him there, we always make a reservation at Dishoom for a special family dinner. It is consistently the best food and atosphere of any restaurant in Edinburgh. So, when we met up with our son and his gf in London this summer, we booked a reservation at Dishoom Carnaby. We booked an early dinner reservation before before going to see Moulin Rouge nearby at the Piccadilly. Not surprisingly, Dishoom Carnaby met all of our big expectations after our numerous meals at the Edinburgh outpost. We enjoyed the casual environment of this Dishoom and loved where we were seated, in a back area with a glass ceiling and overstuffed wooden couches nearby. It was 4 in the afternoon, so the afternoon light made for a nice, casual atmosphere. The black daal is magic. I don't know what they do to it, but holy cow, it's just the best thing on the menu! The chcken tikka was moist and perfectly seasoned. We fought over the gunpowder potatoes and raita! And the jackfruit biryani was new for us and very yummy. Dishoom is also all about the drinks! I started with a Sunny's star martini and ended the meal with a naughty chocolate chai. After the amazing service that is typical of Dishoom, the wonderful dinner, the perfect atmosphere in a gorgeous pedestrian neighborhood, and the naughty chai, we all rolled out of there in perfect form for an evening of Moulin Rouge. Best night of our entire London trip! Once again, thank you Dishoom! read more

Service: amazing service very kind and patient. My father said a racist joke and they still were kind. The service here is honestly kind of slow it took them quickly to take 1 thing out but than didn't come back for like half an hour kind of disappointing, but hey they were pretty packed. Food: I ordered the lamb chops and the spicy curry with garlic bread. I really loved the curry and the bread. It was an amazing two things to put together. The curry was supposed to be spicy, but it wasn't that spicy, but it worked well. The bread probably helped with the spice though and my drink. My father enjoyed the Trini chicken and the chili chicken. It was really nice and he enjoyed the true essence of Bombay spicy food. My sister ordered the lamb chops. She thought they were kind of charcoal tasting, and the chicken tikka had a bit of spice if you're not looking for any spice, don't get it. My brothers food was chicken and it was not distinguished on the menu as spicy. He was caught off guard by the amount of spice contained in it although it was Indian food just beware of that. He had to gargle down four water bottles. The sides of rice were very nice and he was glad they added a lemon to deal with the spice. Just caught him off guard a little bit. I thought that the bathrooms required me to go past the kitchen, which delighted me because I got to see the inside of the restaurant industry, which was very entertaining and busy. There was a long wait, but the staff provided drinks outside and allowed me to order some snacks at the bar Which delighted me. The lamb chops were cooked deliciously and had a little bit of spice in addition to the provided sauces, which delighted me. And finally, the soup that I ordered was not delicious. However, the rest of the meal made up for it. Fantastic. And I must applaud the restaurant for using Florida Keyna a wonderful choice of rum. It delighted me. Overall a delight time and experience with the family and a great meal, I recommend the experience if you like Indian food or want something different. read more

Was beyond excited to try Dishoom, as it was my first time in London and I knew Indian was ironically enough one of the best represented cuisines in the UK. I'd been recommended Dishoom, and I came prepared to try all the signature dishes and drinks. The curries were honestly nothing special. It obviously wasn't bad, but I felt it was too salty most of the time, and the small serving sizes and the lack of sufficient complimentary naan/rice for the price were off-putting. The chicken ruby in particular felt overrated. One thing that isn't is the black dahl, as I am a lentil lover and I can easily eat multiple orders of that dish myself. Cocktails, lassis, and the ambiance were all 10/10, however. Great experience overall, but the food just didn't reach my expectations by a tiny bit. read more

Dishoom - Indian Near Me - London, XGL

Make a reservation and just go for a bit of an early dinner, best way to avoid the lines. That said, it's so worth whatever that wait is. Having been to other Dishooms, this one feels the same, the menu's consistent, it's great. I love their Keema pau to start and then have to get a chicken ruby. Can pair that chicken ruby with a grilled item or two or some daal. The one thing Dishoom doesn't really do perfectly is cocktails. They're fine but I've never been overly excited about the cocktails. But who needs 'em, spend the time eating food not drinking! read more

What a treat! Surely one of my favorite London experiences ever. The curry and the naan was a standout.

My friend and I loved their top tier service and had the best time catching up in the patio area. read more
