Went to Dishoom for dinner and breakfast, both were amazing! Dinner - black daal, ruby chicken, Bhel, Pau Baji (my fave). Flavorful and spicy! Breakfast - Akuri and Fruit and Yogurt, Fresh grapefruit juice. Great service, delicious food - must try if you're in London. Beware of the long waits on the weekends. read more

Food is amazing, especially the paneer. I'd go more often if cues were shorter. Thankfully delivery is available!

Worth the wait! Unfortunately there is no sign up list at this location so you'll have to stand in line to get in. On a Sunday night, we waited an hour. The Ruby Chicken is a must if you are a fan of butter chicken. This was the best butter chicken dish we had ever had! The favors were out of this world! Definitely the best Indian food my husband and I have ever had and we will be back the next time we are in London! read more

Dishoom - Indian Near Me - London, XGL

We walk in as a group of five with no reservations. The place is packed at peak dinner time in one of the busier Dishoom locations but somehow we found ourselves seated in 10 minutes. How we managed that I honestly don't know but we were there prepared to wait quite a bit as we were told there would be a longish wait so it seems it was just a situation of being at the right place at the right time. After giving our names, we waited outside with umbrellas that they loaned to us for the duration of our outdoor waits as they didn't want those waiting loitering inside near the door. After only a few minutes we were whisked inside. There, we waited for what seemed to be 30 seconds when we were relocated again downstairs to the bar area. From there, again, we only waited for a few moments and before we knew what was happening, someone came around to fetch us to take us to our table. They have a system going that appears to work and each area was overseen by a staff who was expecting us which made it so easy for us. Their dishes appear to be meant for sharing tapas style. We were starving and we ordered pretty much everything on the menu that caught our eye and we somehow still managed to polish off every plate. I did notice they had several vegetarian/vegan friendly menu options which we loved and our server was cheerful, friendly and had impeccable timing. For a busy restaurant, orders were trickling in faster than we'd anticipated and so we were in and out in a little over an hour without rushing which is pretty impressive. Regarding the food, I'm not gonna break down every single item we've ordered but flavors were there and it definitely satisfied the cravings. But I can't single out any one dish we had that night that particularly stood out for me so I was really happy we did not have to endure much of a wait. But I've been meaning to come to one of the Dishoom locations ever since my first trip to London (that was years ago!) and so I was pleased to finally be able to tick Dishoom off my list of London musts. Our luck with the wait, I'm sure, was a rare one-off occurrence that I know I'm not lucky enough to have strike twice my way. And with the abundant dining options in London, who knows when I'd be back. read more

It's the BEST Indian food that I have tried so far! Worth the wait! Host and servers were super friendly and considerate! The server not only moved the big party away from us for more privacy, but she also apologized for the noise at the end! Ruby chicken was crazily tasty！！ read more

SO GOOD. When we have friends visiting from the states, Dishoom is always my first recommendation. Yes, you should expect to wait in line (usually 1 hour but always depends) and I promise you, it is so worth it in the end. If you want to try for a shorter wait, I'd aim to get there no later than 4:45pm. Without a doubt, you've got to try the Black Dahl (creamy, flavorful and unlike any other dahl I've had. It's one of their specialties!). I also highly recommend the Pau Bhaji. It's vegetarian dish, and I wasn't too keen on the description but a waiter once recommended it so we thought we'd give it a try. Now it's a must-order every time we go! And the drinks! Highly recommend the Hoppy Butter Paanch. It is exactly what I'd imagine a Butter Beer from Harry Potter tastes like :) Five stars all the way. read more

One of the best Indian restaurants in London (maybe one of the Indian restaurants in the world), and worth the wait! Don't come here unless you're willing to wait in line for 45-90 minutes, but on the plus side, they have space heaters outside to keep you warm, give you complementary chai, and they have free WiFi. So it could definitely be worse. I came here on a Friday night and waited in line outside for about an hour, and then moved downstairs with a buzzer where I had to wait for another 30 min or so. At least once you went inside and downstairs, you could order a drink and some appetizers, so it wasn't quite as bad. The line felt a little like DisneyWorld where you move to different waiting areas to help pass the time quicker with a change of scenery. LAMB SAMOSAS (£4.90) - Delicious samosas, I don't normally like lamb but I liked these a lot. The outside was nice, flaky and light, made with phyllo dough and not heavy. There were 3 of them and they were delicious. I would recommend. OKRA FRIES - (£4.20) - These were thin slices of okra cut into fries, and lightly covered with batter and spices. I like both appetizers but I liked these a touch more than the Samosas. It went well with the drinks. Would recommend these, I didn't want the bowl of these to end! AU BHAJI (£4.50) - A bowl of mashed vegetables with hot buttered pau bun. The description doesn't really do this dish justice, but it was our favorite one of the bunch. There were 2 fresh, hot, buttered rolls and a bowl of vegetables that were mashed with spices. It doesn't sound that great, but it was so good, hearty, and comforting. Don't miss this one. BLACK HOUSE DAAL (£5.90) - I know this is a signature dish of lentils simmered for 24 hours, and it was good - I would definitely eat it again, but it was probably my least favorite of the bunch. CHICKEN RUBY (£8.50) - The curry was well done and the chicken was cooked well - spicy, but not too spicy. Definitely worth ordering if you like curry dishes. We ate this with naan and rice, but I'm sure it would be delicious with roti. GARLIC NAAN: Fluffy, fresh, and delicious. I'd recommend getting at least one order for the table. I wanted to get the Roti also, but between the naan and rice, we had sufficient carbs for the table. DISHOOM CHOCOLATE PUDDING (£6.90) - I loved this dessert a lot, but I like chocolate cake and spicy things, so the combo of a warm chocolate cake and a scoop of chili ice cream was my perfect combination. The chili ice cream is not as odd as you may think - it just has a hint of spiciness. Overall, such a fantastic meal at reasonable prices. Quality food, so many options to choose from, and even the long line was made better by being able to go downstairs and get drinks/appetizers, having free chai, and WiFi. I'd come back here on every trip to London and can't wait to have breakfast here one day. Brace yourself for the wait and make sure to add this on your list of places to eat in London. read more

A no flair very casual however very nice experience. Loved this place, great vibe great service great atmosphere and the food that goes along. First off I was happy that all the staff speaks English. Being from Southern California and experiencing disappointments with the lack of quality and lack of the English language in almost all Indian restaurants these guys need to move to California. I had the basic Chicken Tikal masala, a vegetarian dish which consisted of broccoli ( well prepared ) some bread , raita, salad , beer , desert , tea . Good food, attentive service, clean what more. Great job guys read more

Upon entering we were greeted at the small desk by the door. We didn't have any reservations (at 11:30am) bit luckily there were a few tables open; it was getting busy already. We ordered a couple of drinks and food. Everything was great tasting, and spicy. I wish I could have eaten more. The restaurant itself is nice and clean, and the staff friendly. It is probably a little "touristy", but it is still a good place to eat. We walked past at dinner time and the line was out the door read more

The lamp chops are awesome. It's tender, a bit charred at the right places, and sprinkled with pomegranate. We also ordered their signature dish Black Daal, which is curry with lentils, and Chicken Ruby along with some naan and rice. It's worth the half an hour wait and we hope to go again! read more

Amazing food, atmosphere, and waiting line outside goes fast. Great option all-around!

While the presentation and ambience were really nice and the chai during the wait was a nice touch the food was mediocre. The special pav Bhaji was volcanic with no flavor. The chefs special black dal was red, with an overpowering tomato base. Big let down considering the build up and the hour long wait... read more

I loved their food although it was very spicy, the broccoli salad was great and the biryani lamb was very spicy. My only comment is the biryani should serve with sauce or yogurt (raita) as it traditionally known for the Indiana cuisine. Unfortunately, raita was ordered separately and made me to pay for it. The menu or the waiter/waitress should ask the client for the degree of the how spicy the food will serve. read more

I loved this place, probably my favourite Indian restaurant I have ever visited. Service was excellent; the quality of the food was extravagant and it caused me to realise that the world we live in is a simulation. What do you mean?!?!? The food was so good that I transcended to a whole new level of enlightenment, it made me feel as though I could see everything that had previously been hidden from by the government in a plot to hide secrets from us the public. I can emphasise the extremely overwhelming quality of the food in this review, you must experience it first hand to truly understand what I am talking about. I will not go into too much depth but, here is what I discovered. Firstly, there are chemicals in matresses that traverse the human nasal passage and cause them to have less joy in life as a whole. This was designed by the government to feed large corporations revenue from people (us consumers, who are seen as pawns in their master-plan) in our futile attempt to sate our indefinite need for physical items to rid our selves of this awful mental state. read more

It looked more like a store than a restaurant from outside and it definitely was a rather noisy atmosphere inside. The menu was however big and we ordered a lot of different dishes to share at the table. Everything was delicious, except for the "shaved ice" which the waiter did warn us was a thing that not all would like. We thought we wanted the adventure and tried it anyway. :) The drinks were also amazing with many alcohol free options. I will absolutely come back again! read more

Always delicious and a great dining experience whether in the restaurants, delivery at home, or one of their make at home meal kits. Consistently great quality and service. read more

delicious food and service was super quick and friendly. not as expensive as i assumed it would be. cocktails are nice too!

I guess I now know why people say London has the best Indian food in the world. I do agree. Dishoom definitely showed me the incredible taste of London cuisine. I am beyond amazed and would highly recommend!!! Note: I came in a bit early, so there wasn't a wait, but the line started to pile up during lunch time. Definitely worth it!!! read more

SO. F**KING. GOOD! We were visiting London for a week from Boston, and had already heard about the place. When we wanted to have dinner on a weekend night, the wait was 1 hr and 40 minutes, so we decided to come back during lunch on a weekday. The food was simply heavenly, and the price was very affordable. Fast and great service. Seriously, what's not to love about this place?!! read more

I had been to Dishoom many years ago, didn't know they did breakfast but a quick internet search taught me that they are super popular for breakfast and with good reason! We made a reservation for 9.15 am online for a Saturday morning and it was fully seated. However, we took our good time to enjoy the super delicious bacon naan, egg naan and Keema Per Eedu - a fantastic chicken dish, beautifully spiced and I drank liters of the House Chai. By far the best Chai I ever had! The service was prompt and friendly, the atmosphere relaxed and classy without being pompous. Highly recommended if you wanted something a bit different for breakfast! read more

If you want to know how much I love this restaurant, let me just say, someone said, "Let's go to London!" and I responded with a high five and "DISHOOOOOM!!!!" I literally dream about this place. Please go if you can. read more

The food and service were excellent. Lucky to have a reservation and not have to wait but it is well worth the wait.

I really do think Dishoom has spoiled me for Indian food! The only time available for a Thursday night reservation for 4 was at 5:30- that's still considered to some a HH, but the place was already packed. Started with Vegetable samosas, garlic naan, and pau bahji all AMAZING as well as the condiment sauces with the samosas. Chicken tikka, prawn moilee, and house black daal were all cooked to perfection. Alin was our server who took the time to explain the dishes and encouraged us to share- he was very knowledgeable on all the dishes and kindly asked if there were any dietary restrictions within our party. No room for dessert but will definitely return again....and again! I had touched on reservations prior, make sure you book them. On our way out, there was a line of patrons half down the street- that should show you how great Dishoom really is! read more

Dishoom is a PHENOMENAL restaurant, especially for brunch. I was impressed by every single thing I ordered including the teas. My favorite was the Bacon Naan Roll, which I recommend to everyone whenever I hear London or food. The Bacon Naan Roll is so flavorful and all of the ingredients compliment each other so well. The first bite I took of the Bacon Naan Roll I immediately ordered two more. read more

We got lucky and had no wait... we also went at 10:00PM after a show. The vibe is very cool. It's like modern Indian. I was with a group of 4 and we ordered the following: 1. Dishoom Chicken Tikka 2. Lamb Boti Kabab 3. House Black Daal 4. Chicken Berry Britannia 5. Butter Bhutta 6. Plain Naan We got multiples of a few of the dishes above. The House black daal is incredible. The chicken tikka was delicious. Honestly everything we had there was cooked with immense flavor. My girlfriend ordered a dirty chai - I usually do not like chai tea (they are known for it there) it's totally worth it! If you are in London, this is a must!! read more

! Is Dishoom Michelin star? This was my question while enjoying my tasty food there !

Overrated and long waits, I had to wait almost 2 hour around 9pm. Service was okay, but understandable given how busy they were. Servers were running back and forth to places every second. The food was nothing special that everyone raved about. Ordered the naan, chicken tikka, chicken biryani and paneer tikka. All were just ok except the biryani. Coming from the Bay Area in CA, really spoiled with a lot of good indian food, this is definitely no where to the standard everyone speaks of. Overpriced and long waits, do not go read more

Start was fantastic. We were told it was 1/2 hour wait and truly was cold outside. Well just after about 5 minutes they check you in and invite you down to the bar where it is warm to wait. Good sales move! But a drink... make yourself warm and make us some money. Can't blame them! Food was very flavorful. The portions served are like tapas, so if you have an appetite, make sure to order accordingly. Otherwise service as excellent as was the food. read more

Excellent , worth the 1 hour wait . We absolutely enjoyed this recommendation . The server Ali was excellent , knowledgable of the menu nice and friendly . The atmosphere is fun and exciting , the food is absolutely amazing and full of delicious flavors . I would highly recommend to family and friends . A must try read more

We came here for brunch on a Saturday afternoon. We were starving, but decided to wait here because of the amazing reviews. The staff came out with Chai for those waiting in line which is a very nice touch. We were given a wait time of about 40 mins but were let inside to wait at the downstairs bar in under 15 and then seated about 10 mins later. We ordered all the suggested: Pau bhaji - mildly spicy and full of flavor - SO GOOD, MUST GET! Chicken ruby this dish was very good, I wasn't blown away by it as much as the pau bhaji, but it was still worth the order. Black daal - I was surprised by how much flavor this dish had since it's just "stewed black beans" but it's very good. I'm not a HUGE fan of daal in general, but they season it very well. The bollybellini cocktail was delicious, I could have had 3 more if i wasn't so full from the food we ordered! Calamansi smash I thought it was acceptable in comparison to the other, but my boyfriend really loved it. I forgot the name of our server, but he was only on his 4th day serving and was absolutely amazing! He was friendly and very on top of everything. Checked up on us regularly and was never too far. I think he was from Spain? Anyway, the reviews aren't overly hyped, this place is legit and you have to make time to stop here. read more

All around amazing we go every time in London some of the best Indian food around the globe

Ruby chicken still is an amazing dish - chicken never tasted so flavorful! Chicken tikka is done dry here and is a great twist on the national dish of UK. Black house daal packs a lot of flavor for just some lentil beans. Would come back in a heart beat read more

Heard about Dishoom from a friend who traveled to London recently and they really hyped on the quality and the wait time haha. If you are feeling peckish around 3-4 you can get in to Dishoom without any wait on a weekday (we did at least). The interior decor is definitely a highlight of the experience, because there are so few places decorated with such authenticity and classic beauty as Dishoom. Its done in the old style of colonial Bombay and is really awesome to just sit and soak in. The food quality is quite impressive as well. We kept our dish selection limited as we weren't terribly hungry. but we had the pleasure of enjoying the Ruby Curry & the Black Bean specialty dish with two garlic naans. The chicken inside the ruby curry was perfectly moist and very well cooked. the Garlic naan also was not overwhelmingly garlic flavored and was a perfect balance to the flavor of the curry. Mango Lassi is a definite pickup if you are here. Would come back. read more

The food at Dishoom was amazing. Especially loved the okra fries, samosas, and garlic naan. Friendly and efficient servers, great ambiance, and the drinks were to die for, especially the Gin Fizz and spicy expresso martinis. Would definitely return for another enjoyable night. read more
