Dishoom Shoreditch

1 hour wait at 5:30PM on a December Friday. Excellent Indian food in a cozy and eclectic setting. You sit in cushy armchairs as you share saucy dishes across a coffee table. Such a fun place to eat among good company. We ordered the fried okra, black daal, ruby chicken, mattar paneer, lamb chops, an order of rice and multiple orders of garlic naan. They were all do delicious and full of flavours and spices. I would happily order them all over again.

This is a nice restaurant with very friendly staff. It seems to be quite popular, as it was really full and we had to make reservations a few days in advance. The food is good, however, the drinks and coffee were excellent. My friends ordered the chocolate pudding and really seemed to enjoy it. While the dishes aren’t quite as authentic as I expected—more tailored to the local community’s taste—I think it’s still worth experiencing for yourself. Overall, it’s a pretty okay restaurant.

Amazing food! Dishoom never disappoints!

We had the chicken ruby, makhmali paneer, rice and roomali roti - all of which were 10/10.

What made the night even better was the lovely waitress (who’s name we didn’t catch but she has dark curly hair and tattoos) saw it was one of our birthdays and gave a dessert (Basmati Kheer) on the house!! What was already a lovely day was brightened by this gesture!! Thank you!!!

*one of our party is coeliac and their GF options and accommodations are great :)

Best Indian restaurant ever in Shoreditch. We had to wait a bit outside and then inside, but it was fine since it was warm and we could enjoy some drinks. Totally worth it — the food was amazing and the staff were great. Also, the online payment option is super convenient!

I tried Indian food for the first time with my husband – a very special experience! Everything was different from what we know of Turkish or German cuisine, very flavoursome and interesting. Some dishes took a bit of getting used to, but we really enjoyed trying everything. The atmosphere was great, the staff very friendly and attentive, and we especially appreciated the dessert offered on the house. Definitely worth trying for anyone curious about Indian cuisine.

Our lamb and chicken is Halal. Alcohol is served. Bacon is served on our breakfast menu. Ask a member of staff for details.
