I could eat a whole plate of this on it’s own, and the heat of the aloo (potato) goes well with cooling raita. Taking the humble potato and grilling them with seeds, spices and fresh herbs, this is a gem. Gunpowder Potatoes, I think were my favourite in this veggie feast. Try these dipped in the selection of sauces and chutneys that they give you. Truly a display of finger food and how Dishoom make vegetables amazing. Okra Fries in the house!! Taking lady’s fingers and turning them into a deep fried delight. At Dishoom it is marinated and charred and served with green peppers. It bears resemblance to the texture of tofu, but with subtle flavour. Paneer is a milk curd used a lot in Indian cooking.

Paneer Tikka, is, straight up, the way to show that you cannot have enough cheese. This was a delight and a no brainer for veggies! Delicious, melted cheddar cheese on a thick slice of white bloomer with the kick of chilli. Compared to the rest of the menu this is not the most exciting.Ĭhilli Cheese Toast is exactly what is says on the tin. This a a great way to start off the meal if you’re starving because they come out so quick, but if I was to skip something off the menu it would definitely be this.

We went for:įar Far is a crispy snack, that has the texture of a prawn cracker and salty too. Would highly recommend and I am already looking forward to going again.We decided to order a selection of things so we could share and try different things. Great experience, great service, great food. We booked in the week of going with no problem.Ĭlients would know you were making an effort if you took them here. Tiny bit slow, but the restaurant was heaving so I forgive.Ĭhance of getting a last-minute booking * * * * The Chloe Bhatura (spiced chickpeas) was delicious, the Pau bhajis made us feel like we were eating street food in Bombay, the okra fries I would have liked to snaffle away in my bag and finish off later. We tried more than most people probably would (in the interest of research, obviously) and were delighted with every addition to the table. Each dish arrived with a flourish and a level of drama you seldom get in all but the most premium of restaurants. If there was no wine involved (which there was) it would be about £100 for two. And then the food arrived and all was forgiven. The waiter wrote nothing down, which always worries me (and he was back five minutes later asking us to remind him what it was we were going for). The design of the space is nice enough, with lots of ‘London-meets-India’ artefacts on the wall. Like being in an Indian spice market – a luxuriant celebration of the smells of India. The smell is the first thing that hits you as you enter. It’s the fourth Dishoom in the capital and the plan appears to be to roll out the concept across the UK. The original concept, pioneered by Zoroastrian immigrants from Iran, had the ambition of being a place that welcomed everyone, from rich businessmen to sweaty taxi-wallers to courting couples. A "Bombay café in London" is how Dishoom describes itself.
