The Boundary Street has its own lovely character. If the weather is nice, and even if it is not so nice, relaxing on the verandah sipping the house chai is a treat. The food is excellent and not to be missed-- not your usual Indian food. Don't miss the porridge or the breakfast naan dishes. The hostesses and wait staff go above and beyond, including helping us get an Uber in the middle of a massive heat wave. We will definitely be here again on our next trip to Londond read more

Well if you don't mind dining in the most modest of furnishings, a table and a chair between babies in strollers galore with noisy conditions--- and you like your meat well done & not succulent; and you are easily swayed into ordering 'extras' at the insistence of waiters speaking broken English, then DISHOOM is just the place for you! Me? I'm not planning a return visit. read more

Dishoom - 23rd of March 2018 : A lunch not worth remembering. - Indian Near Me - London, XGL

Delicious! This place is in demand. I went to the one near Trafalgar Sq. It is a touristy area but it is delicious and worth it. Bombay style Indian food. We got cheesy naan and chutney, okra fries (these are probably the best thing on the menu???), rice and kebab, and black daal. For drinks we tried chai and watermelon sharbat. There could be a long wait. We got in and were seated right away. Right after us a long line formed, Disney-style. I wish I could eat here every day. read more

The wait is staggering and its not exactly traditional indian that you would expect. The bar was amazing and the drink were perfect so its a great social space. Good for a few rounds but its crowded with guests waiting for a seat. read more

good food / fun environment but overpriced for the portions and the waiter was a bitchy lil one.

Most definitely the best Indian food we've had, we're visiting on holiday and decided to give the place a try because of the high reviews and it shattered our expectations. read more

Good food but really slow service. We were seated for over thirty minutes and still didn't receive our food until much later. The ambiance was really loud with. read more

Thé restaurant does not offer allergen menu, and when I asked what I could eat (lactose free), the waiter was very kind but I was shocked to see her return with every item on the menu crossed off. Most restaurants are willing to make accommodations, or at least offer 1 or 2 dishes that can be offered regardless of allergen. Very disappointing read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants. I recommend getting a double order of the lamb chops.

I am not one to typically review places after eating but I stopped in today for lunch and it was by far the best Indian food I have ever had and may even be in the top restaurant experiences I've had. From the moment we walked in we were greeted with smiling faces. Our server was phenomenal, walking us through the entire menu with great recommendations. If you enjoy bourbon you will need to order their old fashion which pairs exceptionally with the food. We ordered the chicken ruby, chili chicken, and garlic naan, and rice. I was close to licking the plates clean. If you are in London or near any of the locations, do yourself a favor and stop in. read more

By far one of the best restaurants we tried in London. All the plates are small, perfect to share. You may need a reservation so call ahead just to make sure tables are available, specially during lunch. read more

Amazing!!! Even though we had to wait 2 hours, management was able to give us complimentary appetizers (great customer service). Coming from the U.S and as a south Asian myself, this was hands down the best Indian food I have had. Everything we received we were extremely satisfied with. Masala chai and any desserts are delicious. read more

Fantastic food. Well run place. But we got a clunker of a waiter. I'm sure it wouldn't happen again.

Far and away the best Indian food I have ever had, and the best food I had while in London. Everything was incredible and I ate after I was full because I physically couldn't stop myself from doing so. The gunpowder potatoes, lamb samosas, chicken ruby, and chicken tikka were my favorites and if I'd ordered the whole menu they all would likely be my favorites. This was our first time here and when the waiter recommended so many dishes I was somewhat skeptical but I now wish I'd ordered twice as many because nothing was disappointing and I can only imagine the second half of the menu is as good as the half we ordered! read more

Dishoom is always a must when I visit London. I highly recommend going at an odd hour or you'll be waiting awhile. Their menu is pretty huge so here is my must order MUST ORDER Chicken Ruby Garlic Naan Basmati Rice You need to combine and eat all those together! This is an orgasm in your mouth! Of course throw in some Samosas to get you started while you wait. read more

Perfect place for a small group of friends from out of town! The wait: An hour and a half on a Friday night. First is the line out of the door. They kindly served us chai milk tea. Then, they led us to the bar where we waited another 30 minutes to get our table. Food: I was very lucky to go with an Indian food expert where she made all the orders for us. Very delicious! I love their vegetarian options as well! Service: Quite slow, but I understand because it's a Friday night so they were very busy. Our waiter kept disappearing when we needed him. Other waiters were helpful when we needed help. Tip: Free wifi! read more

Absolutely outstanding Indian food. We showed up for an early lunch and the place was just turning over from breakfast. We ordered a couple beers and then split the Chefs special (lamb curry), chicken tikka, veggies, and a chicken in a makhani sauce, with a side order of raita. All dishes had incredible depth of flavor and perfect amount of spice. The lamb curry was extremely tender with a great spice balance. The makhani was really tomato forward but was extremely tasty. Veggies perfectly spiced and raita was great to cool everything down. Truly some of the best Indian food we've ever had. Highly recommend a visit. read more

I was recommended Dishoom by a fellow volunteer for my layover in London on my way back home from Greece. The design inside is both elegant and traditional. The atmosphere is both warm and welcoming. The food is flavorful and right to texture and proportion. I did order more than I could eat though since I was only party of one but wanted to try a couple of things. I'd definitely come back one day if I'm in London. read more

I made a reservation for 6 o'clock at Dishoom and Coven Gardens in London. I was held up in traffic and missed my 15 minute window for holding the reservation. When I arrived, I was told there was no table and I would have to join the queue. But then a lady stepped forward and said if I would wait, outside for about 20 minutes she would see what she could do about finding a table for me and my five friends. She was true to her word, and we had a wonderful table and the best meal I've ever had in an Indian restaurant. I can't say enough about the staff in that particular Dishoom. A Wonderful experience that I would recommend to anyone. read more

Really impressed. The food is exceptional and the service is also extremely good. Huge fan of the style of the restaurant and I have made sure to regularly visit the various locations. read more

Food was great. Plan ahead and aim for midday to avoid the lines. It's certainly worth a 20 minute wait.

Food was exceptional. Service ambiance was perfect. Was a long line to get in but it moved fast. People in the line were served tea. Was perfect as it was a bit cold outside. Will definitely go back here again! read more

Disclaimer: I'm just a simple dude from Southern California. The hype of Dishoom is so very real. The food is amazing. It's well balanced, cooked perfectly, and is incredibly appetizing. My mouth is watering just thinking about the food. The servers were nice and I felt like I was eating at a trendy restaurant in LA. I think it's a great combination of the great Indian food you can find in London and the service you should come to expect at a trendy LA restaurant. I remember waiting almost an hour for the meal and normally, I wouldn't do it. But I had to see the hype. It was definitely worth it. I recommend Dishoom if you're around the area! read more

FAV restaurant in London! Don't miss this Indian gem. Just be sure to get in the cue by 4-4:30pm to avoid waits of 2 hours. The food, service, atmosphere are 5 star! read more

Surprisingly tasty restaurant. Very cool environment and lay out on the upstairs of the building. The food is meant to be shared and is very well made. read more

My husband and I were in London for a long-weekend. I don't pretend to be an expert on Indian food at all, but I know good food, and this is it. We even went twice, when we're normally all about exploring new places, especially on vacation. This location always has a crazy line, even earlier in the evening, but they are so kind, and give free amazingly good chai tea and a sweet liquor that I didn't like but my husband did (I think it's a sherry variety). I noticed how they also seem to overestimate how long the line will take, so you are happy to be seated earlier (so they say 1 hour, it's really 45 minutes). To start, the food comes with 3 sauces. One is supposed to be more mild and is green and sweet. I loved it and found it very addictive. Another was more spicy, and my husband monopolized it. I don't remember what the third is, since we both were obsessed with our respective choices of sauce. The garlic naan was addictive - warm and perfectly spiced. The masala prawns are also perfectly cooked and spiced. I'm normally not that big of a fan of chicken (I think it's hard to cook well and is either too chewy or too undercooked, and usually not seasoned well). But here, the chicken tikka is perfect - tender, and perfectly seasoned with ginger and a delectable green sauce. I also had the chaijito which was very good. Some flavored mojitos are terrible - overly sweet with no complex flavoring. This drink was not like that - it truly was a good mojito with complex chai spices, perhaps the same ones in their hot chai tea, which is also very good. All around great experience. Apparently it's a chain in London - wish it would come to New York! read more

Waiting 2 hours is not recommended. No they don't have our regular Indian Currys and all but other food was awesome. Their paneer was amazing Potato was also great. read more

Incredible food and ambiance. Just go at off times because the line to get in wraps around the block.

Dishoom is absolutely worth every bit of the hype and then some! Dishoom does not take reservations for small groups, and there is upwards of almost a two hour wait during busy times. Hubby and I were able to be seated with only a 30 minute wait at 2:30p for a late lunch. The food is incredible. Served as small plates family style, Hubby and I ordered: - Okra Fries - crunchy sticks of fried okra in a light batter - Chicken Tikka - Grilled and wonderful when paired with a curry - Black Daal - Black lentil puree to be used as a sauce and a dishoom speciality - Chicken Ruby - The B.E.S.T. curry ever - Garlic Naan - Enough to sop up all of the curry - Chai tea - served warm in a bottomless cup until 5:00p with the perfect amount of spices - Old Fashion - with a kick of cayenne pepper - Pistachio Kulfi - Ice cream on a stick The service was warm and attentive, but not overbearing. The prices were a little high, but well worth it. It was our best meal in London. read more

Dishoom - Okra Fries and Chai Tea - Indian Near Me - London, XGL

Some of the best Indian food I've ever eaten. My friends and I waited in line for an hour to get in because they don't take reservations and it was totally worth it! They serve you warm chai while you wait which is nice and gets you through the wait. It's totally torture to watch people eat through the windows so I recommend you make small talk with your date, friends, or other people in line instead. The DAAL! OMG THE HOUSE BLACK DAAL! Just order it. Actually, order two of the daal. You can thank me later. Everything was amazing but I still have dreams about the daal to this day. I would go back and just order take out of naan and daal and be set! And to top it all off the service was superb. read more

I heard from several friends who recommended this place, and now I know why! Dishoom was absolutely delicious, and even though I don't really eat Indian food, I love the food here! Food: 5/5! Actually all of the dishes were delicious, not a single one fell short. We had the okra fries and calamari, and both were fried perfectly, but very oily. Okra fries were almost like yam fries! The chicken tikka was good, but not spectacular. The lamb kebabs were better I think, but personally not a huge fan of lamb. The lamb biryani was one of my faves! The rice is amazingly blended with different flavours, and we added Raita to it too (felt almost like chicken over rice. We also ordered a bowl of greens which was actually very good and helped balance out the heavy meat dishes. I highly recommend the garlic naan and the matter paneer, those were the other highlights of the night. Drinks wise I really liked the mango lassi, and it was a perfect balance for all the spicy and oily dishes. If you're in London this is definitely a must try! read more

My favorite Indian in London. Drinks and everything we ordered was great. They also did well working with restrictive diets and were helpful making suggestions. Worth the wait. read more

The food was so good and the place is really cute!! We had a good time and loved the appetizers!

Delicious whether dine in or carry out. Great service as well; one of my favorite Indian restaurants in London.

My companion and I? We don't like Indian food. Even so, we decided to give Dishoom a shot since literally everyone ever told us to come and give it a try, so we arrived later in the evening, falling asleep because we were so tired. And boy are we glad we came. The menu is extensive - lots of somewhat smaller sharables for order. We got a veggie mash, potatoes, garlic naan, chicken, and quite a few other items for just the two of us, leaving quite a few leftovers for later on. Make no mistake however - leftovers were because we were completely stuffed, not because the food was bad. I can't speak for authenticity, but the flavoring was delicious and unlike anything I had had before. Though distinctly Indian, the restaurant improved on the flavoring and had a great garlic naan that lasted in taste beyond its warmth. The okra was also exceptional, and the worst dish may have been the lamb or the potatoes, which really says something - they were good too. The environment is also worth talking about. Its a bit like a transportation back in time, an underground bar and a nice sense of decor tying the place together. Come here, whether or not you like Indian food. You just may be pleasantly surprised. read more

Amazing food. Amazing spices. Amazing taste. This is the best traditional Indian food I've had in London. They're also everywhere! The line is usually out the door, but it's definitely worth going to because of the atmosphere, people, heartiness, and delicious food. There are many twists and accents the head chef spins on their meals, and I think the addition of personal touches is what makes this place so spectacular. My favorite dishes are the Chicken Ruby as well as the Morgh Malai.. and make sure to order the garlic or cheese naan with your meal! This is an amazing place to go to if you're ever in London, in fact, you MUST go. I will be upset if you didn't (not that my opinion matters, I'm just a yelp reviewer). read more

One of the best Indian restaurants in london. The black dal and butter chicken are amazing dishes as well as the fried okra. The staff were super nice too read more

Not a big Indian food fan but I was told I just had to have Indian food when in London and this place was the place to go. Got to the restaurant on our first night there, a bit jet lagged and tired only to realize they had an hour line to wait in outside. We decided to wait it out. Time passed by quickly talking to friendly people in line, and the restaurant sent someone out to give free cups of chai tea and mint tea to those of us waiting in line, which was a nice touch. We actually were seated after only a 30 minute wait, and we ordered the vegetable Somosa appetizer which was a veggie and spice mixture inside a small pastry. It was very flavorful. Followed this with the Ruby Chicken, which was pieces of tender chicken in a red curry sauce and an order of their garlic Naan. The chicken was flavorful and everything you'd expect a red curry dish to be. The Naan was good but sadly did not taste of garlic. Although Indian food is still not my favorite I did enjoy the food here and would recommend . read more

Went here twice in two days - first for breakfast then for dinner. We arrived a bit early for dinner, around 530pm. Good thing, because by 630 there was a line snaking out the door. I had the chicken biryani. It was very very good - the rice was slightly over cooked, so I would not rate it the best I've ever had (tbh it's pretty hard to beat a biryani made by a specialty mom and pop shop), but the service and atmosphere more than made up for any slight shortcomings in food. The waiter recommended pairing it with their special gin tonic, which was a spot-on combination. Bottom line - I would come back here again and again just for the experience and wow factor. Very happy with Dishoom. read more
