Great food and great service! Went to the Carnaby street location which isn't as interesting as the covent garden location but still good. Didn't try the cocktails. read more

I'm not used to Indian food but this restaurant is spectacular!! So much that we went there twice which we never do while traveling. There is definitely a good reason for its high ranking on yelp. read more

Gluten free menu, very attentive staff. Each dish was presented as either gf or not. And the menu was large and the food was excellent.

My daughter & husband really enjoy this restaurant. The food is Delish and they love the chai tea read more

Nice restaurant but the food was a little underwhelming. We ordered a variety of dishes and everything was just okay. The menu is big and there are a lot of nice options. The service was great and the atmosphere was cool and dark. Overall, I am glad we tried but would maybe try the breakfast next time. read more

Hype is real! made an early dinner reservation for 5pm and the restaurant was already packed. By the time we left around 6:30pm, on a week day, there was already a long line of people waiting in line. We had a late lunch that day so wasn't able to order too much food so this is what we ordered for a family of 4 with 2 young kids: 1) gunpowder potatoes: Big portion, oven roasted potatoes that paired well with the curries 2) Garlic naan: 1 piece of naan bread. We loved it! 3) Tandoori roti: 1 piece of roti. We liked the garlic naan bette 4) Lamb samosas: 3 pieces. So yum with just the right amount of spice 5) Chicken berry britannia: wonderful aromatic rice with tender pieces of chicken served in a clay pot. delish! 6) Chicken ruby: ALso served in a clay pot. Very flavorful and great with the breads and rice 7) house chai: Yum yum yum and bottomless too! This being our 1st time at the restaurant, Ricardo our server spend a good 5-10 minutes explaining the menu to us. Best waiter!!! Would love to return and try their other dishes. read more

I think this was the best meal I've ever eaten. Legit. Fantastic meal, excellent service, great ambiance. Not sure what more you could ask for!! This restaurant was a machine. We waited in a 45 minute queue. Once in the atmosphere was incredible and electric. So many people moving around serving freshening up drinks checking on you. It was amazing. I spoke to the manager and asked questions. They have over 200 staff and on a busy night they see 2000 guests. Pretty darn impressive. They were so genuinely nice especially to Zoe for her birthday. One thing. I'm so impressed with in the UK is the attention to allergies. Each time something was brought to our table. Every server said this is coconut and tree nut free.Amazing. read more

About as good as it gets. Most recent visit, got the black daal and regular naan to start, followed by the chicken ruby with roomali roti. (It was a lot for a solo lunch...) The black daal is amazing, although there's so much else I want to try here it's hard to say whether I'd get it again next time. The chicken ruby, on the other hand, would be hard to ever skip -- I get that this is the most basic of Indian dishes, but it's so incredible, and the one here is probably my favorite. Of course, the naan (both the regular and, especially, the garlic) are amazing too. I really liked the roti as well, but it wasn't at the same level as the naan in my opinion, and actually made me appreciate how incredible the roti is at Roti King (where I went for the first time on this trip). Overall, really amazing food for surprisingly cheap prices, if you can get in... read more

Dishoom is one of the few places that can be a bit touristy, yet worth the hype at the same time. It's crowded for a reason - everything about them is great. We prefer their Covent Garden location, but others are just as good. A must stop on our London trips!! read more

So they were amazing, however the company focus on growth rather than delivering experience and you can feel this when you go on a busy time, the food it is great and the staff actually try to deliver but volume is too much for them, I can't see may staff sticking around despite a healthy tip. read more

10/10 all around. The service and food were both wonderful. I'd move all the way to London if it met I could eat here more often!

DELICOUS food with amazing service, plus good ambiance. A must every time I am in the city

After having owned the cookbook from Dishoom for a while, I was really excited to try the dishes straight from the origin. I made a reservation for one during lunch hours on a long layover I had in London. A reservation is definitely recommended, by the time I was leaving, there was a line outside. As soon as I walked into the restaurant, I was taken by the gorgeous interiors. You can tell that the decor was carefully picked out and the detailing of every element of the restaurant was beautiful. It's a lovely ambiance to have a meal in. When I sat down, they handed me this cute paper menu that looked like a newspaper. Since I was dining alone, I asked the waitress for her best recommendations. She gave me several options from the small plates, entrees, and breads/rices. I started with the house chai. Then I chose a small plate--the okra fries, an entree--the lamb chops, and a garlic naan to go with it. The chai came out first and that was so delicious; I had 3 glasses (btw, they refill the chai for free!). Then came the okra fries and wow. That was one of the best preparations of okra I've ever tasted. Then my lamb chops and garlic naan came, and if you come here, you HAVE to try the lamb chops. They were cooked to perfection and extremely delicious. The garlic naan I probably could have done without with this dish, it was a bit thin and less fluffy than I was expecting. Overall, I absolutely loved this restaurant. It is a place not to be missed. I look forward to coming back in the future to try more of their dishes. read more

Good food but overhyped, went to 2 different locations, decor and design is cool. Definitely try and make a reservation or be willing to wait! Well presented and friendly staff with some exceptions at the host staff (specifically at Shoreditch location). read more

Incredible spot for Indian food in London. Everything was unbelievably flavoursome. We loved the black daal, paneer, ruby chicken, and garlic as well as cheese naan. We also got the kuchumber which was a nice refreshing side to the richness and spice of the curries. We did also get the lamb chops but wouldn't recommend them. Everything else was fabulous. Will be back and want to try brunch! read more

well worth popping in. good eclectic indian-ish food. busy but usually can get party of two in quicker than larger groups read more

Enjoyed every single dish I've tried here on my second visit (needed to try more after being wow-ed on my first visit. The one hour wait was worth it. -Service: Attentive. -Food: House black daal was beyond amazing, and I'm not usually a huge fan of daal. I thought I'd try it since it was highly recommended as a popular dish. Chicken Ruby was nicely creamy and flavorful (Heads up, it's a small serving for a main dish). Okra fries were good with a light batter (loved mixing the spicy chutney with the sweet tamarind chutney for the okra dip). Paneer Tikka was mildly spicy and a solid choice. This came with some grilled bell peppers and onions. Jackfruit Biryani was done very well - the spice flavors paired well with the curry dishes. Raita cooled down the spiciness of the hot chutney. Two thumbs up. Passionfruit Sharbat is very simple, but it's very satisfying. It's basically just fresh passionfruit, soda and mint. Atmosphere: Always packed with a long line. Loud inside, but still feels cozy with the dim lighting. read more

Best Indian food in the world! Chicken Ruby + Garlic naan = one of the best things I've ever put in my mouth

Stopped at Dishroom after shopping around Soho and wow!! The atmosphere is warm & elegant and the prices are considerably fair based on the location & quality. I ordered the Mattar Paneer with a side of Garlic Naan and the House Chai. The Mattar Paneer was flavorful, slightly sweet and very filling. It paired well with the naan. The chai was really tasty, great balance of spices and it has free refills. The bill was 25 pound with tip included. I went alone which was pleasant, but it's probably best to go with friends or family and share multiple dishes. I will be back with friends the next time I'm in London! read more

We went here with a friend and had a great time. The line is pretty ridiculous, but it moved quickly, and I appreciated that they brought refreshing drinks out to us while we waited. Inside, it was packed and lively. The food was great. We definitely over ordered. The most surprising thing was a dish with jackfruit. Not surprising was that their famous black daal was fantastic. Worth the line. read more

this place changed my life. definitely go if ur in london! make sure to get: -chicken ruby -chaat -okra fries - mango lassi - chai (!!!!) one note is that if you have allergies they will provide a comprehensive breakdown of each dish. however they will not allow certain modifications (e.g. exclusion of nuts) read more

Excellent food and the wait is worth.. but while waiting you can enjoy Indian beer. Try Nalli Biryani. It is a signature dish

We love this place. Some of the best meals we have had were at Dishoom in London, now we can add Edinburgh!

Beat Indian food I ever had outside of India. I live in California and have tried many Indian restaurants but never felt good and satisfied. This place surprisingly gave me taste of India. I wish they open branches in USA also. Great food and great service. read more

Fantastic chicken, beef, and mango lasses. Colaba Colada is also delicious, and good atmosphere. read more

Waited 80 mins for a table for 4 despite calling well in advance for an appt. They let many parties of 6+ walk in while we waited. And then added 20% tip to my bill. Yes just dumped 20% on me. It was awkward questioning it in front of friends, so I let it go. Never again! Shoot em down - Dishoom. Parsi people were never greedy or so shameless. Whoever runs this place is destroying Parsi reputation! Dishoom's obvious priority is to maxmise restaurant capacity and revenue. read more

This is hands down one of the best Indian meals I've ever had. I knew very little about this place other than that more than one person recommended it on Facebook. It was only later that I'd notice that Ruggy and other Yelp dignitaries had experienced the majesty of this modern Indian tapas hangout slinging traditional street flavors. Being jetlagged and coming here at 4:30 pm probably helped my cause of getting in without much fuss. The wait was about 5 minutes and only the arrival of my East India Gimlet and lamb samosas were able to drown out the guilt I felt over snagging a three-person table by myself. Before I was seated, I waited at the bar downstairs and had time to admire the cavernous layout and dimly lit rooms, surprisingly sexy and mysterious compared to the Indian restaurants I've experienced in New York. I ordered up the items I understood to be standouts here, and they didn't disappoint. In addition to the aforementioned lamb samosas, the house black daal and chicken ruby curry were both out-of-this-planet good. I mean, plate-licking good stuff. Make sure you don't miss either dish. Looking forward to a return visit on my next trip to London. Come at off-peak hours and order up a bunch of stuff. This is a place for sharing, yours truly notwithstanding. read more

AMAZING! A highlight of our trip to London, so tasty and well worth the hype. A must do and it's cool they have a lot of locations

Might be our best meal of our London/istanbul trip. Great food, ambiance, service, drinks. We came late after our show near Chinatown, and we didn't have a wait. On other locations that we checked, it was 90 minutes. read more

I took my daughter there for her 13th birthday and she was just enchanted by the ambience. The food of course is exceptional and the service was top notch. I really love the Dishoom's at King's Cross, but the Edinburgh location may have just topped it. Both are incredible. read more

Bustling vibrant and aromatic, I've eaten at several Dishooms and I believe this was the first and original location. The food as always is consistently delicious across the locations. You can't go wrong with anything on these menus, I typically order a curry with rice and a naan, washed down with a cold beer. Service is always friendly and attentive. read more
