    Not just "hyped", dishoom deserves the recognition!…read more SERVICE Amazing service, easy to make reservations online, and easy to check in and get seated once your entire party has arrived. INSIDE Spacious, clean, and plenty of seating both upstairs and down. MENU For larger parties, they recommend their prefix menu which includes a various sampling of lots of delicious items. FOOD 10/10 I haven't eaten Indian food much, but was thoroughly impressed. From my mango lassi which was perfectly sweetened and tart to buttered buns, fried okra, black Dahl, garlic naan, and lamb skewers, everything was delicious. I esp loved the lamb skewers! We ordered a side of garlic naan with cheese which is basically a quesadilla and it was super cheesy and delicious as well. OVERALL Would def recommend Dishoom when visiting London. It'll definitely be a hit in your books!

    There isn't much I can add about Dishoom that hasn't already been said. As a huge fan of Indian…read morefood, I can honestly say I haven't had better. The food was exceptional -- aroma, flavors, spice levels, portions; everything was perfect. While visiting London, a local friend invited me to Dishoom, knowing how much I love Indian cuisine. We arrived on a Sunday afternoon around 5PM, and the place was already packed. They don't take reservations for dinner unless you're a large group, but trust me, the wait is worth it. They have a fantastic bar where you can grab drinks while you wait for a table (they give you buzzers). I tried the Negroni and another tequila-based cocktail (sadly I can't remember the name), and both were phenomenal. Shared plates are definitely the way to go at Dishoom. We ordered the gunpowder potatoes (incredible), an appetizer with potatoes and pineapple (not my favorite; the pineapple threw me off), monkfish curry (amazing), and chicken curry. It was a lot of food for just two of us, but I couldn't stop eating. I seriously wanted to bottle up that sauce! The service was surprisingly impeccable, especially considering how busy they were. We ended up spending about £110 for an incredible dinner, and we nearly couldn't finish everything. Lastly, the ambiance! Inspired by Iranian cafes in India, the atmosphere at Dishoom is eclectic. I loved the dim lighting, unique decor, and the lively pace of the restaurant. Just go!

    The dove was a mixture of great beers but inconsistent food. I would surely return for the beers…read morethough. The beer menu is extensive and has a great many Belgian beers. They I think even had some of the Trappist beers on tap, not just in bottles. I love Belgian beers given the high abv and complex flavours, so I was right at home. They also had some more standard ales and lagers but you should opt for a Belgian beer if you visit the Dove. The food was more disappointing though. The menu has an odd mix of English, Flemish, and Thai options. I went for a Thai curry but it wasn't good. Not spicy, very yellow and creamy. An odd menu mix rarely bodes well.

    Vegan fish and chips??!! Sign me up!…read more Trying to immerse myself in the British culture as much as possible on my trip to London, I decided that I wanted to try fish and chips. Problem is, I don't eat fish. The Dove came to the rescue. The "fish" and chips here is tofu wrapped in nori, that is then beer-battered and fried. Three big pieces are served over a bed of chips, with a side of smashed minted peas and tartar sauce. Being the dumb vegetarian that I am, I thought the tartar sauce was just another side after already eating two of my tofu pieces. Oops. I thought everything was great, and the portion size was huge. The nori definitely gave the "fish" an interesting flavor. The menu here has a few other vegetarian options, as well as non-veg if you're into that. It's pretty big, but when I came here, almost everyone was just drinking rather than eating. The dining area is separate, with very friendly and attentive servers. If you're looking for some yummy vegetarian pub fare, I definitely recommend coming here!
