Dishoom

Ok the important things , you can book after 6 pm provided the group is 6 people or more. Around 7 to 8 pm on a Friday night at least , the wait for the restaurant is 25-30 minutes. Free tea is served at random for the queueing customers. The restaurant is on 2 floors , each floor is huge . The lower floor seems the more quiet part. The whole place is very busy but buzzing with good vibes and atmosphere. An army of well organized servers are constantly around cleaning serving and taking orders. Indeed our server was a well spoken knowledgeable gentleman. The menu is a moderate size , a good selection of everything. The food itself was one of the best experiences of Indian food I've ever had , and I've been to a lot of places in the UK and india . The spice levels are fortunately catered for the Indian palate . So westerners beware lol Toilets were very nicely decorated and very clean , a bit oldly worldy in design You must at least try this restaurant once in your life! I'll definitely come back here.

I had an incredible experience at Dishoom in London. From the moment I walked in, the hospitality set the tone the interior is warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Every dish we ordered was outstanding. The samosas were perfectly crisp, the chutneys were vibrant and full of flavor, and the keema with pav was one of the best I’ve ever had. The butter chicken curry was rich, comforting, and beautifully balanced. Even the small touches fresh herbs, pickled onions, the raita showed how much care goes into every plate. The atmosphere is stylish but relaxed, and the whole meal felt like a treat from start to finish. I’d come back in a heartbeat.

Overall I think the food is good and tasty, though I’m not entirely convinced the price tag is worth it as the portions are small. Lineup was considerable but they bring out chai tea to the waiting customers. As I don’t recall the specific dish names, it’ll be a bit generic. Shrimp: dry but flavourful. Okra fries: well seasoned, crispy. Baked rice: average. Chicken curry: rich, recommended. Salad: not very impressive.

I visited Dishoom around 16:00 and was pleasantly surprised by how smooth the experience was, no booking required and no waiting at all, which was a big plus. The service was exceptional. Staff were attentive, friendly, and efficient throughout the meal, which really elevated the overall experience. As for the food, it was generally average. Some dishes were enjoyable, but nothing particularly stood out as memorable. Unfortunately, the salad was disappointing and didn’t match the quality or flavour of the other items on the table. Overall, Dishoom delivered excellent service and a relaxed dining experience, but the food itself felt hit-or-miss. Worth visiting for the service and convenience, though the menu could be more consistent.

I had higher hopes for liking this place but may have ordered poorly - going for their most popular dishes rather than things I knew I liked. They have two kids meals and we tried both. The chicken was excellent and the paneer was disappointing. The fried okra, gunpowder potatoes and pau bhaji were good. The chicken Ruby was decent and if you like butter chicken will probably be a hit. The black daal, I didn't like but I don't usually like black daal so I can't fault the restaurant here. The naan and roti were good but didn't feel worth the high price point. We had a mezcal margarita that tasted more sweet than smokey and a glass of wine that was fine. Overall, I was underwhelmed but nothing was bad. I'm tempted to go back and try some different items. A service fee is automatically added (service was very good). Food came out quickly. We didn't have a reservation but showed up a little before 5 on a Saturday and were seated within 20 minutes.
