One of the best Indian restaurants I’ve been to. I’ve tried many over the years, but Dishoom really stands out for the quality of its food.nnEverything we ordered was incredibly flavourful, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. The desserts were a real surprise too—Indian desserts aren’t usually my favourite, but both the Basmati Kheer and the Malai Kulfi were outstanding, especially the Kheer.nnMy only suggestions would be to offer milder spice levels, as every dish was quite spicy, especially the House Chaat. It was still incredibly tasty, but having the option to reduce the heat would make it even better. The naan and roti portions also felt a little small for the price. The restaurant was also quite noisy, making it a bit difficult to have a conversation.nnOverall, a fantastic experience and definitely worth a visit.
Dishoom has a very special place in my heart and this restaurant in Covent Garden is possibly one of the best in London.nIt's huge!! In the region of 200 staff employed here and every single member of staff that we dealt with was just fantastic!nWe were on the ground floor which is light, airy high ceilings and has a great buzz. The lower ground floor has what appears to be booth style seating in sections , sight of the open plan kitchens and a huge bar toonWhere do I start with describing the food! We love Indian food but Dishoom is not just any old Indian food - it's just amazing. From the vegetable samosas & the chilli chicken starter that I happily tried & failed to bribe the chef for the recipe to our main courses of Lamb biryani, Chicken Ruby, katchembur, garlic naan , not a grain of rice was left on our plates!! The entire meal was truly scrumptious!nWe had a couple of Diamond Gin Fizz cocktails, Diplomatico Rum and still water to wash it all down!nAs it was a birthday celebration our waiter very kindly brought us a dish with glorious icecream that had a mild chilli aftertaste to accompany a rich chocolate pudding ! What a way to end the meal. We almost rolled out nThe restaurant was unbelievably busy -both floors full and constantly turning over tables but no one was rushed-it seems that enjoying your meal is top priority ! The queue outside waiting for tables is indicative of how popular this place is! Love love love it
Ok the important things , you can book after 6 pm provided the group is 6 people or more.nAround 7 to 8 pm on a Friday night at least , the wait for the restaurant is 25-30 minutes.nFree tea is served at random for the queueing customers.nnThe 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.nnThe menu is a moderate size , a good selection of everything.nThe 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 .nThe spice levels are fortunately catered for the Indian palate . So westerners beware lolnToilets were very nicely decorated and very clean , a bit oldly worldy in designnnYou must at least try this restaurant once in your life! I'll definitely come back here.
We visited this iconic spot twice over the last two days, once for their famous Bombay breakfast and again for a full Indian street food lunch. The service here is absolutely phenomenal—incredibly warm, fast, and attentive. The restaurant itself is beautiful, featuring a gorgeous vintage bar and stunning decorations and historical photos covering the walls that create a cinematic, nostalgic atmosphere. The kitchen also delivers the food with impressive speed, but we found some inconsistencies in the actual dining experience.nnFor breakfast, we ordered the famous naan rolls along with a chocolate chai, which was rich and nicely spiced. Unfortunately, the naan rolls suffered from a serious balance issue. Both of our rolls were heavily oversauced, which introduced an overwhelming sweetness that masked the other ingredients. We actually ended up trying to scrape the sweet tomato-chili sambol off the bread just so we could eat the eggs inside. To make matters worse, by the time we got to the second half of our rolls, the naan had completely softened and absorbed the moisture, causing the sauce to bleed straight through the dough and turn into a messy, structurally compromised roll.nnLunch was decent, but the food felt fairly average when compared to the incredible depth of flavor you can easily find at other Indian restaurants in London. Our seating also put a damper on the midday experience. We were placed all the way in the back in an extended area that felt cut off and lacked the vibrant, energetic atmosphere of the main dining room. We also had a really hard time fitting all of our dishes onto our tiny table and would have much preferred one of the larger tables we saw other couples sitting at. Dishoom Covent Garden is worth a visit for the stunning design, fast service, and consistent menu, but if you are looking for the absolute best Indian culinary execution in the city, there are better options in London.
Recommended to try at least once on your trip! Tasty and flavourful indian cuisine - different from the usual. We were on a vegetarian diet that evening and there's a great selection of vegetarian options available. Although it may lean towards the saltier side. For people who prefer less sodium in your diets, yoy may wish to try requesting for less salt and see if it could be accommodated.nGreat service as well! The server presented us with a complimentary molten chocolate cake as it was my birthday. Thankful for the kind gesture!
