Unusually well run popular Indian restaurant with multiple locations - Edit
Great service, food quality, taste, medium spicy hot, creative fusion recipes from
Read moreBombay style cuisine. Busy all day long with many repeat guests. Everything we tried was good, jackfruit biryani, dishoom salad, black dal, paratha, tandoori chaat, Bhel puri, nice desserts also.

Delicious vegan Indian food -- Would give 5 stars if I could! - Edit
Went to the original Dishoom location (Covent Garden) and it was a very fun atmosphere. Wasn't super hungry at the time so I had a light lunch with my partner, although now I regret not tasting more of their dishes while I was in London. Love that they have a special vegan menu and the waitstaff are super friendly, attentive, and aware of vegan/dietary needs. We shared the Dishoom House Chaat (SUPER delicious and filing despite being a small plate) and Basmati Kheer (ultra sweet dessert). We also had bottomless vegan chai lattes and I ordered a mango lassi that could be prepared vegan -- all of the beverages were top-notch. Highly recommend this restaurant even if it is a bit touristy!

Delicious, but a bit rushed - Edit
Dishoom is a large restaurant, but it was still packed when we visited. Therefore, the staff were a bit stressed and we felt a bit rushed. We would have liked our meal more relaxed. We still enjoyed it a lot, though, because the food was so delicious.
Read moreWe shared three dishes between us: The Dishoom House Chaat, the Gunpowder Potatoes and the Behl. We also ordered the khichia. The potatoes were fantastic and the chaat was one of the best things we have ever tasted! We knew this dish from Dishoom in Edinburgh, and we loved it just as much this time. We did not like the Behl that much, but that might be our personal taste.
There is a separate vegan menu that is varied and something else compared to your average Indian restaurant.
We also had vegan lassis which we enjoyed very much.
- Visited in March 2024 -
Pros: Delicious food, Beautiful interior, Vegan menu, Special dishes that are not average
Cons: We felt a bit rushed

Would give FIVE stars! - Edit
Wow! What an experience this was! There is a separate vegan menu so no guesswork required. I HIGHLY recommend the gunpowder potatoes and the Roti. And if you don’t order the basmati Kheer for dessert, you’re cheating yourself! What a wonderful explosion of delightful flavors. Perfect

Stunning Indian food - Edit
I've always adored Indian food, but had yet to go Dishoom. I managed to go with some friends, and was the only vegan person in the group. We ordered several vegan dishes, and EVERYONE loved them! A particular favourite was the Gunpowder Potatoes - I think we all could have eaten a portion of those! I really enjoyed the Vada Pau. A delicious rich dish which is generously spicey and comes with light, crisp rolls.

Speciale Vegan kaart - Edit
Bij dit gezellige Indiase restaurant middenin Londen, wijk Covent Garden kun je erg lekker Vegan eten. Ze hebben een speciale aparte Vegan menukaart. Ik nam de curry met kikkererwten. Super goed! Als je voor vijven bent, is er plek voor diner. Daarna staan er lange rijen.

Excellent food and service. They have a separate vegan menu. - Edit
I got the vada pau and broccoli salad. Both super flavorful and delicious. I’m only allowed to give four because they aren’t an all veg establishment. Otherwise I would give 5. I got the oat milk chai which was good but it could have used more spice for my taste. Overall great experience and food!

5 stars? - Edit
We were on London for a week and came back three times, that's how much we loved the food 😍
Read moreLots of vegan options on a separate menu, everything was delicious and the service was great.
The only reason it's 4 stars is because the place isn't vegan so I cant technically give it more.

One of my all time favs! - Edit
Have been going to Dishoom since they opened and love it more every time I visit. The food is so good! They now have a separate vegan menu which is helpful and the staff are always friendly, nothing is too much trouble for them. The grilled pineapple tikka and chole are very good but the okra fried are 🔥

Dish was delish - Edit
Amazing tasting food. Dishoom is a traditional Bombay restaurant and nothing like the typical Indian you’ll find the length and breadth of the UK. It’s gone the extra mile to give you the look and feel of being in Bombay - less the heat.
Read moreYou can order off the menu and ask for changes but they also have a printed vegan menu (see images) for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
‘Dishoom house chaat’ was a flavour explosion, with its warm cubes of sweet potato smothered in a cool oat yoghurt, topped with grated carrot, beetroot and radish scattered with pomegranate. A trio of sauces accompany it, turning it into a sweet, tangy medley of tastebud delight.
‘Chole charawal and chole puri’, are the same chickpea curry dish where the chawal comes with basmati rice and puri has two puffed puris. The chickpea curry is a Punjab delicacy and has an incredibly deep flavour that only comes from hours of prep and cooking. It’s hearty, packed with spices (not heat - just spices), with a side of sweet halwa balancing the dish wonderfully. As did the pickled carrot and chilli.
‘Gunpowder potatoes’ blew us away. Smoky and smashed to perfection, tossed in green herbs and seeds, with a little heat (not hot), served with a vegan yoghurt dip. Simply heavenly.
‘Garlic naan’ like no normal UK style naan. With its thin and crispy edge it was coated with vegan butter, a shed load of garlic dressed with plenty of coriander.
Plenty of attentive staff and ready to top up your water too.
Only negative for me is having to queue but would we go back? - Hell yeah. Why eat an Indian anywhere else when there’s a Dishoom around.

Yum!!! - Edit
Everything tasted delicious!! Can’t fault it, service was brilliant, food came out quickly, a couple dishes didn’t arrive but they were for the meat eaters anyway and it was actually a relief as we were so stuffed and had to take even what we’d already got on the table away in doggy bags.
Read moreWe hadn’t booked a table so had to queue outside, however they did take all the requirement info from us which meant that we were provided with vegan menu already at the table once seated and they provided chai lattes and mint teas while waiting in the queue. A brilliant experience ❤️🙌
Pros: Lots of delicious vegan options , Fair price for central London , Great service
Cons: Make sure you book a table or may have to queue
