An Indian restaurant that you would exclaim "OMG this is so damn good!" Must order garlic naan pairs with black daal, murgh malai, briyani & chai, to end with pistachio ice cream. So satisfying!

The waiter is so cute that they brought a dice for you to roll When you get your check, and if u get the number 6 the meal is on them! Chicken curry , chicken tikka with black daal is so yummy.

Don't worry if you are in an hour long queue for this place. That's a usual peaktime wait for dinner. The staff are nice & will hand out free chai tea & spicy crackers, or put heaters on in the winter

Avoid coming at rush hour, waited 45 m. When they finally sat us we noticed many free tables, felt a bit like a scheme to get people to drink at the bar. Calamari, lamd biryani, black dahl are a must!

Took us so long to get a table, I recommend you book first.
Matt Ta-MinSeptember 8, 2017
No bookings so you'll probably have to queue, as it's really popular. Worth it for the lamb chops, that are truly excellent. The birianis are also fantastic. Don't miss the Eton mess dessert.

Been here for breakfast. Perfect masla chai. Egg nan rolls were nice but it had sweet sauce which I didn't like (order with out it). Keema per eedu & kejriwal are recommended. New experience 8.5/10

Maybe in another life I was Indian that’s why I adore so much Indian food. Awadhi Lamb, Garlic Naan, Sheekh kebab and chicken tikka. OMG this naan. I could eat 1kg of it. yiam yiam yiam naan

Waited for 1 hour and it's totally worth it. Food is really delicious. I suggest chicken ruby 👍
Jos JonesJuly 21, 2019
The naans are incredible for breakfast. You can’t book for dinner, so be prepared to wait in a long line and get there early! Consistently excellent food, plus free chai refills at breakfast ☕️🤗
Avneesh KohliSeptember 22, 2018
Somehow lives up to the incredible hype. great ambience, amazing food and reasonably priced. I loved the biryani, raita, garlic naan, chicken ruby. And you *must* get a cup of chai.

Marjorie CFebruary 19, 2018
Pretty much everything on the menu is tasty - the dhal, chicken tikka, lamb chops...just get it all. Queue can seem long but the food is worth the wait.
Georg BobbertAugust 30, 2017
Best Indian food I have ever eaten.. have spent a lot of time in Mumbai, and eaten some great food there... but this was outstanding.Staff were all over it as well which was great.Their in house IPA ✄1�7/div>

Dishoom never disappoints. Probably my favourite of their London venues. So flavourful and the customer service is astonishingly good
Kevin DulinSeptember 15, 2019
The paneer and pineapple tikka was delicious!
Clarice MeadowsFebruary 21, 2017
Black House Daal and the Pau Bhaji were extra special. The Chicken Ruby was tender and had a nice umami to it. The Dishoom Chocolate pudding with chili ice cream was a perfect ending.
Nick SaretzkyFebruary 16, 2018
Always busy. You have to wait outside, can’t leave a number and come back later. They move you to a bar downstairs before your table is ready, and the food is worth the hassle.
Joe CApril 23, 2017
It's almost silly how great this food is, especially for the price. The lamb kebabs and chicken tikka are both fantastic, and go great with the house IPA. Service is great too
Kateryna LzJuly 29, 2016
The black daal and lamb samosas are a treat for the foodies! Okra chips, mattar paneer were great as well. House chai is the perfect spice blend. Overall great experience! Highly recommend
JamesSeptember 30, 2021
It seems cliche to recommend, but Dishoom's chicken Tikka is SO good. They don't use yogurt but vinegar, resulting in a deliciously charred savory chicken that is a sumptuous treat with every bite.
Salih AlSubaiDecember 4, 2014
You must consider desserts and Chi at the end. Original options like in india, i loved the Pineapple. Chi would worm you up on cold nights ⛄️
Jane TimmApril 7, 2017
Get a cappuccino to start -- it's topped with a slight shake of cocoa that melts as you drink it -- then follow with chicken ruby with roti, the black daal, and anything else that strikes your fancy.
Saud .March 16, 2017
Tried okra fries, masala prawns, spicy lamb chops, chicken ruby and chicken berry britannia (biryani chicken). Highly recommend okra fries, chicken ruby and biryani chicken 😋
Benjamin PalmerMarch 4, 2014
This place is the best. Protip here is to pretend there is an omakase option and leave yourself at the mercy of the chef - you want to try as much as possible. Also drink the gimlet.
Sarah BrinkJanuary 5, 2014
This place is out of this world amazing, to die for. The atmosphere is on key and the food was just extremely flavorful. Try the chef'a special! You won't regret it.
KucJune 22, 2017
solid vegetarian & vegan options, just tell your waiter your dietary requirements and they'll bring you a special menu. also: expect a long queue, by thats just a part of life

I saw Sylvester Stallone here and he is not tall and have big head similar to me but i am big fan for him .etc the food was great👍
MLOJuly 22, 2016
Everything about this restaurant is worth the wait, but grab 5 other friends so you can make a reservation and skip the line. A group of 6 should also order the entire menu.
Angela LiuFebruary 8, 2015
A modern take on indian food- every thing is pretty good. The rose eton mess is the best way to round up the meal!
Natasa KitiriJune 1, 2015
The food was really good (ruby and daal). The stuff is extremely friendly (offering teas and chai latte while waiting and even taking 2 of our small plates off the bill for waiting slightly longer!)
Bohdan HnatkovskyyMarch 14, 2019
The perfect dining experience. If you love Indian food this place is a must. P.S. ask them about their signature cocktails, you will be surprised.
Jason SawDecember 2, 2015
VERY good breakfast. First customer of the day today but the restaurant wasn't ready to serve till 9am. They offered a very nice gesture, and service was excellent! Will return! Thank you.
NoMade InMongoliaMay 17, 2015
Just lovely. When queuing free chai and drinks were served outside. Recommend: chef's special with prawns, daal, chicken ruby curry and lamb biryani. Enjoy deliciousness! :)
Merve AltıntaşSeptember 22, 2018
Best indian restaurant ever! Worth to wait while enjoy chai tea.Small portion but cheap prices.Must haves:black daal, chicken ruby, fried okra, garlic naan, prawn, jackfruit biryani. Try cocktails too
AnandMarch 14, 2015
Been here 5+ times
Loved the okra fries, and could visit only for it . Pav bhaji was good and dal makhani just as it should be, not too spicy, bit too mild. Great ambience and buzz around. Makes it to my favorites list.

If you are like me, you'll love the Egg Naan roll! 2 eggs, naan bread, cream cheese and tomato jam. Equally filling for weekday breakfast or weekend brunch. Great coffee and house chai...
AbhishekJanuary 30, 2016
One of the best Indian food I have tasted. Had to wait an hour in the line before we could go in, but the food was worth the wait! Pav Bhaji, chicken tikka, black daal - all were fabulous!
Adrian BalaguerJanuary 1, 2015
Probably the best Indian restaurant in London! But you have to queue as it is not possible to make a reservation. The food is so tasty! And relatively cheap.
NajlaDecember 6, 2015
Great Indian restaurant but be ready to wait in line for more than 45 minutes. Covent Garden chef's special, cheese naan, okra fries and chicken ruby are really delicious.
Ahmad AlfilimbanyFebruary 12, 2016
Amazing place! Dishoom Chicken tikka roll, veggie samosa, vada pau, Awadhi Lamb Biryani, Chicken Ruby and Cheese naan 👍
Mada BaMarch 10, 2018
We had to wait over an hour to be seated but it was worth it. Best Indian restaurant l’ve ever tried.. Lamb biryani is the winner. Must order.
Christine HaMay 5, 2016
A must. Bacon egg naan roll for breakfast. Pau bhaji, chicken ruby, house daal, garlic naan, choco pudding 👍🏼. I want it all. Creative cocktails. Well priced. Resv only for 6+ after 6p. Expect queue
Shirley LiuFebruary 9, 2016
Awesome Indian fare! Wait at the bar, have a Bombay Colada, then get some garlic naan and chicken ruby. The chocolate pudding (super rich) and Kashmiri chili ice cream was also delish.
Brooke LouiseNovember 11, 2017
Great separate vegan menu with amazing food, setting, incredible service. 1hr wait for table but they're very up front and accurate with timings.
AskMenOctober 26, 2011
Our personal fave is the Dishoom grilled lobster tail cooked with ginger, chilli, lime and coriander. And everything washed down with a passion fruit Diwali Bellini or traditional Lassi. Read more
Aigli BalamatsiApril 27, 2015
Try the Spicy lamp chops with the House Black Daal! From the starters choose the Vada Pau. And don't forget to get a cocktail to "refresh" your taste. Great personnel, very nice environment.
Uday Kumar UmesanNovember 20, 2016
Lovely food! Had a wait of 35 minutes, but the friendly staff kept us entertained. The wait outside was chilly indeed, but the hot chai kept us warm. Okra fry, chicken n lamb biriyani was great
Ameen AqeelSeptember 26, 2015
Great value & the small plates make it easier to try more items, service was great, the best thing about it is that they strive to give an actual taste of India (they even bring India's local soda).
Janet CheungSeptember 1, 2014
Go before 6 to avoid the wait. The one hour wait is not worth it. But no wait is worth it. Very friendly staff. Check out toilet decor it's pretty cool. Lamb dish stew is my suggestion
