Dishoom
Overview
Located in the landmark St Martin’s Courtyard development, Dishoom is an unexpected and fresh take on café culture. Its heritage borrows from the cafés, street grills and food stalls of Bombay – such as Britannia Café, Bademiya and Chowpatty Beach. Its setting is inspired by the Irani cafés of old but is very much modern-day London. And just as in Bombay, the informal, bustling and buzzing atmosphere welcomes all.

* Garlic and Cheese Naan
While tasty and crispy, the garlic naan was too hard. The cheese naan was also tasty, but was...more
This might be my all-time favorite Indian-inspired restaurant. Stopped here twice (Nov 2012), for lunch and the following day for a late-night post-theatre dinner. Excellent, flavorful meals on both occasions, ample portions. For dinner, I started off with a Mumbai-style pau bhaji, a vegetable curry (bhaji) with a toasted, buttered piece of bread (pau). This was followed by a main course...more
Whenever I travel from America to London I eat as much Indian food as I can. I stumbled into Dishoom one night with a friend and couldn't have been happier. I wouldn't consider it your "typical" Indian restaurant. It's very cool and sleek with a modern twist on Indian classics. We started with a recommendation from our server and ordered the Bhel. I had no idea what to expect because it...more
The food alone would've been 5 stars. It was probably one of the best Indian food experiences I've had. And living in Toronto, I've had my share of Indian cuisine.
We got the lamb samosa to start (which literally came within 5 seconds), it was spicy and flavourful. After waiting for 10 mins for a beer and water and then 40 min for food, we started to wonder what happened. So it turns out our...more
