Dishoom - Here we have Chicken Tikka, Chicken Ruby, Basmati rice and the traditional naan. The flavors were amazing!!! - Indian Near Me - London, XGL

The best Indian ever. Get the black daal and don't forget the old fashioned. Delicious!

This place was so worth the hour wait!!!! The menu is perfect for trying new dishes and sharing with family. The freshly baked naan bread is addictive. Dishoom is a must try while in London. read more

Bistro-style Bombay restaurant with excellent food, great service and wonderful late-night international vibe. Fresh Nan constantly being made in the kitchen. Much care taken to deliver very flavorful dishes including Tandoori, curries, biryanis and house specialty daal. Reasonable prices. Great drinks. What's there not to like? read more

An inviting window into Parsi culture. Eating here was a pleasant experience. We arrived late on a weeknight and the restaurant was still packed when we got there. The Art Deco flourishes give the space the feel of another time and place. The kabobs were meaty and well spiced. We also ordered biryani. The rice was aromatic and complemented the meat dishes nicely. Would also recommend the roti. read more

Two different friends recommended this restaurant before my trip to London and I'm so glad I listened to them. My friends and I showed up on a Monday night to find an hour wait. We had theatre tickets and couldn't wait so came back the next day for lunch and decided to stick out the 45 minute wait. All of us agreed this was the best Indian food we've had. My personal favorites were the grilled pineapple and paneer and the ruby chicken (a traditional curry dish). We tried the grilled potatoes, samosas, chicken tikka, rice, naan, and a salad. Nothing disappointed. read more

ok so this is tough.Im from NY where theres no shortage of good indian food. Now orginally my wife and i were going to head to DUM biryani house but saw the greaaat reviews and number of reviews for DISHOOM. So i ll go thru pros and cons PROS- ambience is amazing. The lighting the old indians photos were superb touch The cocktails honestly were the best part of the entire experience. I had an excellent manhattan and my wife a colada. So no issues there. Service was great. All employees were friendly. To the food. Best dish we had was the chicken tikka off the grill. Tender and flavorful and with the chutney selection you could make as spicey or mild as needed Mattar paneer was good with excellent flavors and one of there signature dishes the black dhal was on point i must say. Cons- spicy lamb chops, first werent spicy and second they were overcooked. Cmon man there should be some red. We also got the signature prawn moilee in a yellow curry and it was just OK man. I mean the shrimp was a bit over cooked. I wouldnt even say they were prawns. It wasnt bland but i did have high expectations. My wife ordered some coleslaw and felt the yogurt in their mightve been old. To summarize id say its a good place overall but if your expecting curries like some tikka masala vindaloo or saag .. yea not here. I mean im torn, i think people will enjoy the overall experience in general but really if youve been to other indian restuarants around the world this isnt even top 5 food wise. Go enjoy and have drinks and other small plates and judge for urself read more

There was so much hype around this restaurant but fell short on most counts. The waiters/waitresses were actually very nice and seemed to have some knowledge about Indian food. The decor was nice but the food was a huge letdown. The chilli chicken was unnecessarily spicy. I love spice but this was just ridiculous. The chaat was nothing special (I've had way better) and the chickpea curry as well as the daal were mediocre. If you have had Indian food before I have no idea how people are writing that this food is good - absolutely not worth the price or the wait in line. Sorry. read more

Love the breakfast options (very unique) and the lunch wraps in particular the paneer wrap is fantastic

My family was visiting London for our first time (from California), and one of the most important & most anticipated parts of the itinerary was dinner at Dishoom. The food was incredible; the manager actually recommended we ordered the cheese naan to pair with a chicken curry, and it unanimously was everybody's favorite dish. The house IPA paired well with it as well! Of course, we ordered chai at the end of dinner and it was absolutely perfect. The service was unforgettable and made the whole dining experience so special for my entire family. One of the managers ended up giving us an impromptu tour of the place, and we talked to him for a while about the way the art in the restaurant represents certain parts of Indian history / decolonization, and how that related back to our personal history! I'll definitely have to come back here every chance I get, and if I could teleport every single person I meet who knows how to appreciate Indian food here, I would. Also, be sure to make a reservation to save some time! read more

Go ahead, call me boring. When I was in London in January, I ate here three times. Note, I was in London for three days. Well, I'm back in the UK and my first meal, Dishoom. I didn't even try to order something new. I went with what I got last time. okra fries, garlic naan, and the infamous Black Dahl. Omg, I nearly forgot the homemade chai drink. It's as close to True Indian saffron tea as I can find. There is always a line outside. They do not have reservations. I don't care if it's a two-hour wait, its worth every minute of standing. I'm convinced that Dishoom is my favorite restaurant of all time. read more

Let me begin with - IT IS WORTH THE WAIT. I don't even really like Indian food. I am extra boring and bland and can't handle too many spices and coming from Hawaii, I swear we just don't have any good Indian food. That being said, Dishoom was the best food I had in London. Period. Waiting in line, we were told it was about an 80 minute wait. I had heard so many great things that I said I didn't care and forced my foodie partner in crime to stay there, despite all of his complaining. That 80 minute wait really deterred some of the people in front of us and we ended up only waiting about 40 minutes. During this time, they also handed out drinks to keep us warm and I had some yummy chai. Once we got inside, I wanted to order everything. I didn't know where to start or what anything was. Sooooo I went with the infamous black daal and all the naan I could eat. And, it blew my mind. It's lucky I don't live in London (yet) or I'd be there every chance I could get. Service was superb and quick and I can't wait to go back. read more

Heavenly. One of the best recommendations for indian food in London. Long wait outside but the staff was kind enough to bring warm drinks and the food and service did not disappoint! We went to one in London and another in Scotland. The London location was truly the best. read more

Dishoom - Simosa Vege - Indian Near Me - London, XGL

The BEST Indian food I've ever had!!! My boyfriend is Pakistani and loves Indian food and agrees with that statement also!! So good we went back twice in less than 24 hours. Small plates: We had the okra fries, lamb samosas, and keema pau- all SO amazing. The keema pau is Iranian and was soooo delicious- the lamb is flavorful and a little oily, which makes it go perfectly with the homemade bun that goes with it (which is toasted to perfection!). Mains: between the two days we tried the chicken ruby (twice!!) which is basically their version of butter chicken. It is honestly the best butter chicken I've ever had. We also had the chicken berry biryani which was delicious- the berries gave it a nice and different flavor. We also had the house black daal which was delicious, and I'm a huge daal lover. My bf also had the dishoom chicken tikka roll was very tasty also. And of course we had garlic naan with it all! Drinks: my bf tried the dishoom pale ale and thought it was really good! I also had the bollybellini which was very tasty, but definitely a sweet cocktail. I also had the baileys chai which was so delicious, perfect amounts of both and an amazing cream on top. Dessert: we had the dishoom chocolate pudding- so good!! It's more of a molten chocolate flourless cake, less like a traditional American pudding. It comes with a spicy chili ice cream which is so unique. Overall very delicious read more

Excellent Mexican food. Not very spicy. Terrific service from Laurie who made this a memorable meal. Don't miss the Bourbon ice cream.

Dishoom was AMAZING. Totally lived up to the hype. Food was phenomenal and so reasonably priced, and the service was amazing. Everyone was so kind and really just made it a great experience. Could not recommend more! read more

Excellent Indian food found here. We started with a Rose lassi and Limbu sharbat (Indian lime juice). For starters, we ordered the vada pav and for mains we ordered the dishoom tikka masala and a paneer roll. For desert, we ordered the gulab jamun with fruit ice cream which was also very delicious. Everything was hot and fresh. Service was also 5*. Highly recommend this place and we will be going back! read more

On a recent trip to London, I decided I needed to have breakfast at Dishoom. I didn't make a reservation, so I showed up 15 minutes before the restaurant opened. I was seated promptly after they opened. There is a brunch deal but it is offered to two or more people, and I was a solo diner. I couldn't decide what to get, so I ordered two entrees: the Vegan Bombay (featuring eggless akari, masala beans, and an assortment of vegan "meats" such as sausage and blood pudding), and an egg naan roll. It was a lot of food, but I am a trooper and I plowed through it. It was all incredible. The naan roll changed my life. And the chai was deliciously spicy. I loved it all so much. read more

Amazing! I've heard about fishhook through friends and bloggers on Instagram. My cousins and I came for dinner one night and brunch 2 days later. While I preferred the dinner, both were good. The drinks were delicious. We ordered a variety of things and the most notable and delicious once's were the spicy chili toast, the dhal (which I normally don't love but it was so good!), the okra frys, the chicken ruby and lamb chops. The chops were so juicy and tender. For breakfast, we really enjoyed the chicken egg burji and the chai, which is endless. There are no reservations for dinner, there's a wait outside at a first come first serve basis. While you wait in line, someone does offer your water and lemonade which I thought was really nice. We came on a Wednesday night as a group of 5 and waited about a hour and half. You can make reservations for breakfast which was really easy to make. read more

Honestly we came here without a reservation. Waited in a huge line that I never thought would never end. But it was super quick and it was completely worth the wait. Definitely the best food I've had in London. We had a great time and really one of the best dining experiences I've had. Cheers! read more

I can not believe what delicious food we had! I'll be back every day this week despite the hour wait outside in the rain. It's that good. Ruby Chicken, Black Daal, Raita, cheese naan, and some sort of potatoes with "an addictive chemical that makes me crave it fortnightly!" Do not miss while in London!! But don't wait on queue in front of me . They brought us deliciously warm chai tea while we waited outside - and they were attentive to us on queue by keeping us apprised of our personal wait time. read more

Great good and service, thank you. would happily recommend and we will eat here again for sure.

High quality no doubt but the plates and drinks were incredibly small for the lavash amount paid. In terms of quality I highly reccomend in regards to your wallet I'd venture elsewhere as there is better Indian food in London and food that is much less stealing from your purse. Atmoshphere was nice and service was good. Will only be back if I'm dragged along. read more

I have to say--I didn't think the 45-minute wait on a Monday night would be worth it, but happily, I was wrong. The service once you get inside Dishoom is top-notch and the Indian food is above average (had the black daal, the Chicken Ruby, the Roomali Roti and a cheese naan), but I'm not sure it was necessarily the greatest Indian I've ever had...maybe, in part, because I've been to India twice and loved the food on those trips. But then? I had the lamb samosas for dessert. Sweet Jesus, these were amazing. The samosas canopy shells were fantastic, the minced lamb inside was tasty, and the three spices left on my table were all excellent. If I could make reservations here and know my seating time, I would have eaten here a couple more times to try other items on the menu. As it was, very strong, but you can tell there are some very specific treasures on this menu! read more

Top 10 Indian Food outside of India itself. I've never been so stunned. Ordered a lot of stuff and left a happy man. The chicken tikka masala was lovely, the naan was lovely, the desserts were lovely, it was all a 10/10 experience. read more

Delicious contemporary Indian dishes. I love Dishoom. The chain seems to be growing rapidly.

The food was disgusting, Poorly presented. Was a waste of my time and my money. There was bad service, I had to wait up to half an hour before being asked my order. read more

Even though we had to w for 1 hour it still gets a 5. The service, food, drinks and atmosphere were all first rate. They handle the tables rely well so the wait time is accurate. No reservations so pick your time carefully otherwise prepare to Q. read more

The very knowledge & attentive bartender and drinks were the perfect way to pass the time waiting for a walk-in table. We were here with a group and I highly recommend getting plenty of dishes to share. You can't go wrong! read more

Heard a lot about Dishoom but when came to this location, I was disappointed to see - 1- Very limited selection of vegetarian appetizers 2- a single curry option for vegetarians 3- waitress forgot to tell us about the vegetarian dal option, which was not listed on menu but was available 4- Romali roti was burnt, hard and not Romali at all! We ordered House bhel- it was certainly innovative and tasted ok. Bhel- I was given the dry mix and the 3 separate sauces- garlic, tamarind and mint. I did not get the bhel experience: sauces tasted fine separately though Paneer tikka was at the most mediocre! Matar paneer - As the only vegetarian curry option, I want this to be spectacular- this was anything but that! The spices left a bitter aftertaste!!! House black dal - there was less dal and a similar spice gravy like there is in matar paneer. It had extreme amount of butter- did not taste good or authentic! Jackfruit biryani- overcooked mushy rice which tasted sour and nothing like biryani! Pros- the only 2 reasons for 2 stars are: Nans were good Paneer was fresh I do hope that Dhishum does something to cater vegetarian population too. Unfortunately this didn't work for me or my family!! read more

Interesting art deco interior design and great service. Apart from a special old fashion that I ordered, nothing is too impressive IMO. The food is rather mediocre than special. read more

Great food and service. Went when they opened so didn't have to wait for a table. Highly recommend

a rat ran out the kitchen but other than that the chicken was really good and the chips were well fried but then we found a har in the bowl of fruits so we ended up leave without tipping and they called me a pathetic loser who has no heart will not the coming back!!! read more

I tried to go for Dishoom for dinner one night at about 8pm. Forget it. Liine out the door and waiting list was 1 hr. Did I mention this was a Tuesday night. Needless to say I did not give up, and came back on Thursday for a late lunch. It was definitely worth it. I had the fried okra which were very flavorful, a little to much spice for me but very nice. I then tried the bbq prawns which were delightful, cooked on the tandoor, with the right level of spice and flavor, worth trying. Then I went to the roomali roti with the house special chicken ruby. This dish was fantastic. A slight twist on butter chicken it had wonderful taste and was excellent. This is definitely a place to go to when in trafalgar square. The service is super fast, though the staff are clearly not experts in Indian food. read more

I took a little tour of London through an Airbnb experience and my tour guide was Indian-American so I asked her for the best Indian restaurant recommendation and she sent me to Dishoom. I ended up going for a late lunch/ early dinner, probably around 3:30-4:00pm. That was definitely the perfect timing because as I was leaving the line to get on the list was out the door. I was able to be seated right away. Dishoom is a lot of smaller plates, meant to be shared. I was traveling solo but that wasn't going to stop me from trying several items. I started with Lamb Samosas, these had the perfect balance of filling vs. pastry. They were so full of flavor. I dipped them in the trio of sauces they provided as well, so delicious. Next, I had the House Black Daal with garlic naan, and the recommended bowl of greens. The Black Daal is the signature dish, so of course I had to get it. I'm honestly not even sure what was in it but it was so freaking good. It was packed full of flavor and it paired perfectly with the garlic naan. This was a nice serving portion as well. It filled me up but if shared with someone else I would recommend maybe another dish to share. The greens were also SO full of flavor. I was shocked how good these were. I was very glad the server recommended them. At the end of my meal, I believe the manager came to ask me how everything was. I appreciated him taking the time to come over and check on me. I ordered the Chocolate Pudding and a glass of Chai. The manager gave me the Chai on the house, which was very kind of him. They chocolate pudding was so delicious, I love the hint of chili at the end of each bite. The Chai was by far the best I've ever had. I posted a picture on my facebook and my friend who lives in India said that the Chai was served exactly how it would be served in India, in a glass, not a tea/coffee mug. Overall, I felt like I had a genuine culinary experience. It was the best Indian food I have ever had. If I lived in London this place would take all my money because I would eat here all the time!! I highly recommend Dishoom if you're in London. read more

Dishoom was pretty good. The cocktails and service were great. However the food was a bit hit or miss. What i ordered: Viceroys Old Fashioned - amazing, slightly sweet, with a refreshing pour of johnnie walker Lamb kebabs - dry and a bit flavorless Romali Roti and Chicken Curry - the Roti was fairly standard and Chicken Curry was pretty good Daal - amazing. Rich, tasty, could be a meal in and of itself Portions are well controlled and allow you to sample a lot more. Love the ambience and plan on coming again to give it another try if I'm in the area. read more

Stand in the line! It moves fast and it was worth every bite. I would literally fly to London just to eat here. What made it great was the staff, they provided my friend and I with hot chai while we wait and were super nice. Once inside they tried to help you choose your food choices to share with the table. We had the Ruby Chicken (must have), jackfruit biyani, lamb chops, garlic naan, corn, bowl of greens, and dessert. I ate so much and was happy to do it. read more
