Authentic Indian food, enough tasty vegetarian options to keep coming back for. The jackfruit biryani is to die for. Try the rose & cardamom lassi, the rose flavour is perfectly balanced.

Dishoom is always great. The branch in Shoreditch is lovely & the service is great. Get the egg naan rolls, the chocolate chai, and the akuri (كأنها شكشوكة). YUM.

Dishoom feels like a walk-in sepia photograph. It also serves terrific food, like a delicately flavored berry pulao, the tart Parsi-style biryani. More of London’s best food: http://tandl.me/XAVcNk

Awesome atmosphere, food was delicious, highly recommend the Chicken Ruby. Be ready to wait for a table up to 30min at the bar. Arrive before 6pm!Otherwise you will queue up to an hour on the street.

Oh my goodness - everything was amazing! Seriously, one of the best meals I've ever had. We enjoyed the fried okra, chicken tikka masala, black dhal, and ruby chicken. Would recommend all!

Feels like a breakfast oasis on the veranda with delicious and great value treats: bacon & egg naan roll and kejriwal (chili cheese toast) plus grilled tomatoes for the win. Plus bottomless chai.
DaniellaAugust 21, 2017
Paneer tikka, shrimp masala, chocolate pudding and bottomless chai tea! Best Indian I've had. The portions are a good size as well so you can get a bunch to share.

Breakfast.The Indian version of full English breakfast is great, love the combination of coriander with scramble eggs. Bacon and egg nan rool is delicious. Chocolates chai is nice but too small.

Great modern twist on Indian food. I loved the Lamb Raan which was acidic from marinade, tender and decadent, my fave dish. the fam loved Mango Lassi, Ghati masala and gunpowder potatoes!
Andra GeorgescuMay 1, 2017
Suuch good food! The veggie options are absolutely fabulous! Curries are a must, with garlic naan or rice, but lots of other options too! Nice terrace and inside it is really cute and welcoming too.

Dishoom is an expansive Bombay cafe located in trendy Shoreditch. Its impeccable decor and cool vibe reminded me of a Stephen Starr restaurant. It’s perfect for group dinners over bottles of red wine. Read more

Amazing place! Food is fabulous, an Indian style brunch, great way to spend a Sunday morning! Service & staff impeccable, fast, friendly! Definitely recommend the house masala chai tea and rose lassi!
MarkSeptember 22, 2019
This place is amazing! Great food with the right amount of spice. Als great atmosphere and location, it has some of that run down ambience. Only flickering light was missing 😂 Highly recommended 👍🏻
Maya Abdul-LatifSeptember 10, 2022
Probably the best Indian restaurant in London, it just never disappoints me. Everything on the menu is exquisite. Always go for okra fries, black daal, chicken byriani, garlic naan....
Chandra GhosalOctober 12, 2018
Everything. Masala chai warms your heart. Bacon naan with a perfectly runny egg and streaky bacon just delicious. Every dish has perfectly balanced flavors. Would go back again and again.
Ivana KurtovićDecember 19, 2019
Best indian restaurant ever been to! It’s a combo of iranian- indian cuisine from the streets of Bombay. You can wait at the bar and snack while you wait for the table.
Anna TjernströmJuly 16, 2018
Great place if you’re a vegetarian or vegan. They’ll have a special menu for you. I’m usually not big on Indian food but I was pleasantly suprised!
Abeer SMarch 5, 2017
I was there at Sat night, we waited for almost two hours in the queue. Well I'm not that much with Indian cuisine BUT it was really delicious. Dishoom now one of my favorite restaurant at London.
John SteidleJuly 1, 2019
Ridiculously good Indian food and great cocktails. Order the chicken ruby, black dahl, and anything with lamb. Add a house ipa plus some naan, and you’ll have a great time.
Nidhi KayOctober 2, 2019
Best indian food i ever had and i’m indian, recommend lamb samosa, black daal, chicken ruby over roomali roti, old fashioned and chai bourbon drinks were great too
Noah WeissMay 27, 2018
The hype is warranted! Delicious, upscale takes on traditional Indian, with cool vibes and free chai while you wait. Lamb chops and Ruby chicken fantastic. Cool cocktails, too. Arrive early!
FabienneMarch 4, 2018
Best experience at an Indian restaurant so far! Although we had to queue, it was worth the wait! Frindly, welcoming staff, trendy & authentic atmosphere! And excellent food!
Clara EloyNovember 21, 2021
Amazing like usual. Tried the breakfast menu for the first time and everything was delicious. Try the buttery buns to dip in the chai!
Francesca KrihelyOctober 9, 2012
Everything about this place is spot on. The decor is immaculate. The daal is out of this world. They also make a special IPA that is just hoppy enough for spicy curry! This place is a total winner!

The interior, the atmosphere, the whole experience takes you away from rainy London to some exotic holiday destination! Yummy food, amazing Bloody Mary's, great friendly staff! 👍🏼

I can leave tips all day long and that won't be enough. My absolutely fave for Indian. An early morning hot chai reminds me of winter mornings in Delhi. Dishoom you beauty!
Cole KennedyApril 26, 2018
Welp, it’s absolutely as good as they said. And the atmosphere is on point. The wait won’t seem too long, especially once you have a drink. Now when can we bring Dishoom to NYC?
Linn FritzAugust 13, 2015
One of my favorite restaurants in London. The atmosphere, the food, the drinks and especially their house granola is amazing! Super busy all the time though, so be early.

They don't deliver, but you can order takeaway up 'till 6pm! Great way to skip the queue and still enjoy the best meal.

No doubt, some of the best modern Indian food in London, though be prepared to queue for more than an hour on a Friday or Saturday evening. Try early week or a late supper; they're open till midnight!
Anne HJune 29, 2014
The chocolate mousse is probably one of the best things I've ever eaten; it's spicy and salty. It is served with a creamy yoghurt with raspberries and blackberries. Highly recommend.
Emily-janeDecember 23, 2017
Delicious Bombay street food, black dhal, paneer tikka, chicken ruby, pau bhaji the roti and rice were perfect too! Nice own brewed IPA. Be prepared to queue if you have no booking, worth the wait!
Nicole DixonFebruary 16, 2016
I want to eat those pau buns every breakfast time! Lovely staff and great food, just need to work my way around the menu now. Slight wait due to busy brunch but worth it.
Eveline NJanuary 2, 2017
Indian street food in a Bombay Cafe style setting. This location has best ambiance and staff, food amazing price value. Have been back many times. Be prepared to queue for 45 min at least - worth it!
Nazanin VahedyMay 31, 2020
Like the atmosphere. Amazing drinks. You will enjoy if you go with the right combination. Since Indian food has strong taste & good amount of herbs best to order some light and cold sides as well.
Red W.October 22, 2017
Within seconds of eating the ruby chicken, I confirmed the hour wait was worth it! I’ve never had chicken that melts in your mouth before. Much better than the lamb and prawn dishes. Go for chicken!
Sarah JDecember 8, 2015
In short:perfect experience. Delicious food, definitely try the lambi boti kebab together with kachumber, daal and raita on the side.great atmosphere, not too loud.
Ben K.May 29, 2016
It's hard to believe this too trendy looking spot has good food, but my god it's pretty brilliant. Try the lamb samosas, spicy lamb chops, chicken ruby, and raita.
Bill PeelerNovember 24, 2017
This place is utterly amazing. The place was super cool and the food was absolutely delicious. Grab a beer or one of their clever cocktails as well - you'll definitely want to go back!

Much better than the one in Covent Garden. Great decor, awesome staff, and a tiny bar that makes intimacy a pragmatic concern. Also, free refills on the chai - whats not to like? Ideal for 1-2-1
Murat ZenginSeptember 27, 2015
I manage to have lunch at the last day of vacation at shoreditch. Perfect Indian food. The burger was amazing, chicken tikka was delicious. Only problem is the food is so good that you eat yo much.
Fabian MartinAugust 12, 2023
The best Indian restaurant I’ve ever been to (and came back to about 15 times so far). Absolutely need to get the chicken ruby and the lamb chops !!!
Emily BirstonasNovember 19, 2014
First Indian restaurant meal I've really enjoyed in London, amazing Bhang Lassi and stock up on cheese naan. Great recommendations from staff, Soho location cosy and not too loud - must go again soon!
Jessica YoungDecember 1, 2014
Brunch - get sausage and bacon naans! Cheap too. Chai is delist. Dinner sitting - get the table opposite the kitchen so you can watch the naans made & flung around in front of you, a show in itself 😂
Monica DesaiMay 27, 2018
Hype is warranted - loved the keema pao, the ruby chicken with roomali and the lamb chops! Also - chai!
Adam FJuly 25, 2014
The crazy part about this place is that there are too many things on the menu I wanted to try. Make sure to come as a big group so you can try everything. Lamb leg & Biriani are a must.

It's true, this is the best place to enjoy indian foods in a lovely environment. Tested and approved for diner, lunch and breakfast. Great deal.
Catherine CheongSeptember 13, 2016
Ruby chicken was one of the best curries I've eaten (and I grew up eating curry in Southeast Asia). Tikka chicken was also very tasty and spicy.
Ain TohvriJanuary 9, 2018
Best Indian I’ve been to in London, well worth the relatively long wait. Black Dal was delish. Mango Lassi could be better, maybe a bit too watery and lacks taste, but that’s really a minor thing.
Gijsbregt BrouwerJanuary 6, 2018
Everything they say and then some. High volume, high speed, need to wait, but that’s entertaining anyway. Never seen so many staff.
