I love Dishoom for so many reasons. Every time I swing by London I try to have a meal there.
Recently I ordered takeaway for the first time – see my latest vlog episode about it! ✨
Here are just a few reasons I ❤️Dishoom:
1️⃣ Mouthwatering Menu 🍛 Indulge in a diverse menu that pays homage to the rich tapestry of Indian cuisine. From succulent kebabs to creamy curries, there’s something for every palate. Lamb chops are incredible.
2️⃣ Warm Hospitality 🤗 At Dishoom, you’re not just a guest; you’re family. The warm and welcoming staff make sure your dining experience is nothing short of extraordinary. The founder makes sure of it.
3️⃣ Daal! The Dishoom black daal is iconic. Head Chef @Navid_Nasir says the quality of daal is the measure of the quality of a kitchen.
4️⃣ Iconic Bombay Breakfast 🌅 I love to savor the legendary Bombay breakfast at Dishoom. It’s the perfect way to start your day in London.Go for the Parsi Omlette!
5️⃣A Taste of Bombay 🌆 Step into the enchanting world of Bombay. The vibrant decor and aromatic spices at Dishoom will transport you to the bustling streets of the Subcontinent.
London’s legendary Dishoom is one of my favorite Desi restaurants in the world! Their slogan is “From Bombay With Love” and their food is amazing. They now have multiple locations in the London area.
Whenever I go to London I try to grab a meal there. This time even though I had a reservation at their Carnaby location (in Soho), I unfortunately could not make it, but I still did take out! Let’s see if their takeaway food is just as good as the dine-in meal!
