Dishoom is my favorite restaurant and I love this location. I've eaten here several times and have never been disappointed. Most recently I visited for breakfast and got the egg roll naan and it was a great start to the day! I also really love their mattar paneer, jackfruit biryani, paneer tikka, and the house chaat. Love to get these dishes and all share at the table! read more

Quickly got us seated for two. It was cold outside and offering us tea was so kind and a great touch! The service was great, and the food was excellent. Lots of flavors to keep your palate happy! read more

Wow. Really exceptional flavoring. Loved everything-paneer tikka, gunpowder potatoes, chicken ruby, house black daal, rice, naans, raita...all delicious! We had an early reservation and it was hopping. I liked my orange wine, husband had a decent Malbec. Service was fine if a bit gruff. Ask for tap if you don't want to pay for water. read more

I was in London by myself on a business trip and someone recommended Dishoom. It was the most disappointing dining experience in London yet. I ordered a glass of wine which was delivered with lip stick marks on the glass. I had to wait a long time for my server to return to point out the dirty glass ware to receive a new beverage. My appetizer - ocra - was so salty, I could not eat it. The main dish - chicken tikka and naan bread - was good. I sat at a tiny table (being a solo diner) on a bench next to a couple on the same size table. When the server cleaned my 'neighbors' plates she dripped sauce remnants into my naan bread basket. When my server returned with my check, I reminded her of the dirty glass and told her about the soiled naan. She offered new naan bread. My beverage was empty, my tikka eaten, I don't know what the naan was supposed to go with. I had expected some sort of compensation. Complimentary beverage maybe? Complimentary naan? I'm in London often but you won't see me again at Dishoom. read more

Great Indian food! The top three Indian places I have ever eaten at! I would 100% recommend this place if you want authentic, and delicious, food. I would recommend the ruby chicken. read more

Really good Indian food with great cocktails. We came in after shopping at Covent Garden in the afternoon, we didn't have to experience any long waits as we were seated immediately. We had several of their mainstays including CHicken Ruby Curry, Black Daal, lamb biryani. Those dishes were really good. Especially the biryani, that dish packed a ton of flavor into that little bowl. I loved it. And of coourse we sopped everyhting up with some garlic naan. I'd suggest bring a group of people and order a bunch of stuff, the portiosn aren't the biggest, but they are flavorful and interesting. My favorite thing that I had at dishoom was actually their cocktail their Hoppy Butter Paanch. Oh wow, what a surprising cocktail, it has a IPA hop foam, and then underneath that it has a whisky and honey based cocktail with some spices, but when you drink it. it doesn't taste like any of those ingredients listed, it's an ultra smooth cocktail taht doesn't taste like beer or whisky, it does have some spices to it, but it's like a smooth punch kicked up with a hint of spices and it's so refreshing, I would prolly kill a gallon of this on a hot summer day, but seeing as it was 30 degrees outside I only had 2 of them. The other cocktails were good too but i just can't get over how good that hoppy butter paanch is. read more

Dishoom - Close notice until Summer 2020 - Indian Near Me - London, XGL

Very good as everyone says. Long queue so if you know at least a week out what time you'd like to dine and you're a party under 6 and can begin your meal before 5:45 - reservations will make your experience VIP as you cruise past the line. Very good Indian - the spices not as layered as you'll get in India but priced well and the experience is really a delight. Watch the kitchen creating your naan Suggested add ons are not all necessary so don't agree unless you really like the recommendation. Tandoori chicken is a must. read more

There was an hour wait, and I was pretty reluctant to wait. I'm normally not a fan of higher end restaurants, especially ones with a line. They asked that at least one member of your party is in line at all times, so it's easy to swap out and explore the area. The food was amazing!! It was flavorful, spicy, and savory. We got at least 7 different dishes, and I wasn't disappointed with any of them. I really liked the chutney sauce. The hostess was very attentive and kind. I think she had red hair with a non British accent. Her recommendations for foods, cocktails, and amount to order was all spot on. I would definitely come back. Edit: went back again, and it's still amazing. If you're overwhelmed with the menu, just get the ones that are boxed out on the menu. Can't go wrong with those. read more

Great food and great service. There's definitely a reason why there's a line all the time. Don't let the line fool you, it moves quick. Will definitely be back next time we visit London! read more

Taste food good , price was great . Great location . Service was fast and booth seating was good. One of the best food we had in uk .

Excellent service, make sure you make a reservation in advance. I had Prawn Masala, they were not in a sauce, like what you may be used to. But they were well seasoned. My husband got the Chef Special, with lamb, he loved it. read more

We ate here and it was fantastic !!!! The wait can be long so plan ahead. We got chicken ruby (our favorite ). , nan, murghalimali, raita was good too. We also had the corn on the cob which was good All in all it was great !!!!!!! It is worth the wait and the prices are quite reasonable really for what you get. The Dishoom IPA beer was good too. read more

1. Service- very attentive and friendly. Both times I came here, I had two different servers, and they were both very professional. They were very welcoming and they made sure you had everything you needed. It's A-La-Carte, so wait to be seated, order and pay at the table. 2. Price- this place is affordable, and not expensive at all. For two people, you'll pay about £30, but that depends on how much you order though. 3. Ambiance- modern and hip. There are two stories to this particular restaurant. I guess you can say there is a Ground level and a Lower Ground Level. Or perhaps as we better understand in the states, 1st floor and a basement. Haha. Dress code is casual. 4. Food- we had cheese naan, Gunpowder potatoes, Chicken Ruby, Dishoom Chicken Tikka, and Vegetable Biryani. My favorite were the potatoes, and the Tikka. Everything was very flavorful and I have to say, it's the best Indian restaurant I've ever been to. 5. Cleanliness- superb. I can't complain. read more

Simply fantastic! Dishes are small and you are intended to order many. Fragrant, fresh, delicious. We ordered off of the breakfast menu, it was so good we stayed for lunch as well. Chicken tikka=excellent! Service was top notch, friendly servers and helpful as well. The restaurant itself has a super cool vibe (especially in the lower level dining room). Absolutely will be coming back again! read more

Came by Dishoom for lunch. They take reservations for lunch and breakfast, but not dinner. Definitely recommended to make a reservation - it's really easy on their website, and there is almost always a line when coming in. Easiest/most painless way to get a table here is to make a reservation for lunch, and breeze right in past the long line forming by the door. Service is polite but somewhat curt and rushed given the amount of people there are coming through. There is a very large downstairs seating area, and the booths have fun fans that cool you down from the spice. Their menu is huge with a variety of dishes from across India. Most of the dishes are sized and made to share, and the back has a large drinks and chai menu. The drinks are very small portions. Lassi is thick and yogurty, and the chai comes creamy and sweet. Favorite dishes: House Black Daal: Amazing, very spicy and creamy. Chole Poori - chickpea curry with a very interesting pairing of sweet halwa mash, comes with puffy poori bread. Delicious must have. Paneer: their paneer dishes are delicious, all well flavored with chewy paneer. The mattar paneer came in a sauce that was very tomato-y, and had very few peas. read more

Yes, the stories about the line are true, but yes, it is worth it. They don't take reservations for parties smaller than 6 people after 6 PM. So either make a reservation and go early, or plan to go with a large group! Or, submit to standing outside in the cold with a cup of chai to keep you warm. Dishoom knows how popular it is and they have a seamless system to accommodate the large demand. The staff are all kind and understanding and help to get people inside to the bar as soon as possible. Once inside, the cocktails should not be ignored. The drink menu is extensive and, honestly, fun to read. Tried the bollybellini and their spin on a mojito. Both delicious and refreshing. When we were finally seated, we were given a helpful walk through of the menu with great advice on what to order. In the end for the 4 of us, we got 2 starters: Prawn Koliwada and Okra Fries, and 4 dishes: Murgh Malai (chicken), Gunpowder Potatoes, Awadhi Lamb Biryani, the House Black Daal, plus 2 sides: Plain Naan and the Dishoom Slaw. Sounds like a lot, but it was the perfect amount to taste and share. We were warned that the Biryani would be spicy. It was flavorful, but not painfully spicy at all. We had a great meal with warm ambiance. A bit noisy and crowded, but not a problem. While we were waiting to be seated, we were annoyed with all of the people hogging tables without yielding them to the long line outside. Yet, by the time we were seated, we also didn't want to leave. read more

Amazing food and ambience in the Birmingham area. Very good service. We had mostly vegetarian dishes and all of them were excellent

One does not go to London without going to the legendary Dishoom. It's the only place on Yelp that has 1300+ reviews and 4.5 stars. I had high expectations and was nervous that this place would be severely overhyped, but Dishoom was an A+ in my book. I heard the wait times can be insanely long (one night we called and they said it was 2 hour queue for dinner). So we decided to go the next day for lunch and prayed to the food Gods. We got there at 12pm on the dot and our prayer was answered as we got seated immediately. The place was already packed on both levels. Decor is cute and what I love about this place is that for every meal purchased, they donate a meal to an organization charity :) More reasons to eat here! We ended up with the chicken tikka masala (called chicken ruby on the menu), the paneer masala, black house daal, garlic naan, and the keam. Everything was beyond fantastic. As everyone suggests, I highly recommend the chicken ruby and daal (vegetarian and slow cooked for 24 hours). Consistency was nice, creamy, and not overly thick. Tender chunks of meat that just pair so well with the naan. Thankfully for me, the food was not terribly spicy which made my eating experience more enjoyable. Service was prompt, courteous, and on point. Water was always refilled without asking, and the flow of the place didn't make me feel rushed despite the growing lines outside. Overall, I would recommend coming here to cross it off the bucket list. Wasn't expecting such amazing Indian food in London and am pleasantly surprised, but no complaints here :D Note: the dishes do not come with rice. You need to order it separately and it costs around $3USD per bowl. Note 1: there also seems to be sister locations of Dishoom nearby? Haven't been there but would imagine it to be similar, so if this place is packed maybe stop by it's other location. read more

Amazing simply amazing. So first off - get here early. The line is pretty long and there's not a lot of cover for you if it rains. The service here is amazing and the food comes out to you very quickly. Our waitress was also super polite and was very helpful in choosing plates. We had a multitude of dishes and the review would be too long of I only listed it all but something's that stood out were the chicken ruby, vegetable samosas, and the chocolate pudding. The chicken ruby was creamy soft, and went well with the garlic naan. The samosas were also pretty good and went well with the dipping sauce. The chocolate pudding tasted like a dream and the chili ice cream brought out the sweetness of the pudding. read more

Looking for a place to have dinner while visiting London, England found Dishoom Indian Restaurant located in the Covent Gardens area on Yelp with really good reviews and it's just a 10 minute walk from our hotel. I called first and was greeted by host saying that although reservations are suggested for groups of six or more people that accept walk ins of smaller groups. Once we arrived on Monday night found that their was a line of about 50 people waiting to get in and saying how good the food is and we'll worth the wait. We decided to stay and enjoyed nice conversation with locals that we also waiting in line. Host made it a point to take everyone on a list and also provided folks waiting with free beverage samples. We were seated about 45 minutes later and although this business was packed there were plenty of employees to handle flow of customers in very friendly and profesional manner. We ordered the fried Okra appetizer and yogurt with fruit flavored drinks that was amazing. Since we weren't familiar with their food we allowed our waiter Paul to suggest our salads and our main coarse based on our likes and preferentes. At end we were amazed how delicious our meal was and great service we received.from this Michelin star restaurant rated as #1 in London, England. Highly recommend this place read more

Dishoom was our first stop in London for dinner and well worth the wait. With 700+ reviews already here, I'll give you a rundown of what stood out to me most. 1) The line outside snaked around and around, but they sweetened the experience with hot chai tea and sherry. Once you get inside, you *may* think your wait is over but instead, you're transported downstairs to the bar area. We had enough time to get a drink and apps there. Our total wait time was about an hour but these little extras made it fly by. 2) We ordered okra fries and lamb samosas at the bar, then Dishoom's signature dish (and vegetarian) house black daal, curry-infused chicken ruby, and garlic naan at our table. There's nothing I would not recommend. 3) I love how Indian restaurants offer an array of non-alcoholic drinks that are delicious like laasis, and Dishoom takes that one step further with teas, coffees, and sodas. That being said, I still went with some cocktails including the super refreshing Bollybellini and classic Bombay Pimm's. 4) I truly enjoyed reading the menu and learned that the restaurant donates a free lunch to schools in India for every meal you eat at Dishoom. 5) I would've come back here time and time again (including for breakfast!) if I had more time in London. There are heaps of other dishes I need to try. So there ya have it. Believe the hype. Love the hype. Taste the hype. read more

This was our favorite meal in two weeks in Ireland/UK. The commitment to quality is unparalleled especially at this price point. The flavors are mouthwatering and impossible to replicate at home. The service is too notch. We would return often if we lived locally! Specific examples: Quality: a manager observed (with no promting from us) that one of our tikka masala pieces from the grill was burned and replaced it with a new full portion. We only had two pieces left and hadn't noticed. Communication: told us the wait of 20 mins (was way less) and instructed us directions to the bar downstairs, then greeted us by our name at the bottom. Then since they knew we planned to order lunch, let us know the timing of that before the kitchen transitioned from breakfast to lunch. Multiple people with staff also double checked that my husband indeed did not need sugar with his cappuccino when they noticed none at our table, and complimented his health choice haha. read more

Loved the ambiance and everything at Dishoom--- and this is someone who has been to India twice.

Best Indian food I've ever had. Got a variety of things and each were incredible. Service and atmosphere were also each exemplary. Good variety of food too. Well worth it read more

Great food and quick service I. A very busy restaurant. Great city ambiance and delicious cocktails!

Food: 5 | Service: 5 | Ambiance: 4 I don't think I can write much that other reviewers haven't said already. I just want to say the food was amazing. Ordering the fried okra is a must! I ordered the garlic naan and the chicken ruby as well. Since I dipped the naan in the chicken ruby I think I could've gotten the plain naan, but it was probably even more amazing with the garlic. Service was fantastic too. It was fast and accurate which is really all you can ask for. The server was charming as well. Highly recommend this place! read more

The tourist trap of indian restaurants. I suspect most dinners here have very little experience with Indian food. Samosa's we're not prepared traditionally. Very greasy and most likely frozen in advance. The spices and flavors were off the mark. They succeeded in making food that was impossible to digest. 5 hours later it was still sitting in my unhappy stomach. Nothing here is worth the visit. Maybe the ambience and location. Thats it. read more

The best dahl I've ever had and the lamb chops are delightful. One of my favorite spots in the uk.

I got the chole puri which was absolutely amazing. The flavors were so strong. The puri wasn't what I originally expected, it was more of a thin soft bread. But it complimented the chickpea curry very well. I think there was some green chili in the curry, making it a little spicy. It was a big portion and perfect for lunch. I highly recommend the chole puri. My friends have been here quite a number of times and have loved everything they've had on their menu. It's a great place to share and their small plates are good! read more
