Their branches in Shoreditch, Kings Cross, and Carnaby will be the first to reopen, on July 10. When is Dishoom reopening after lockdown? Titled Dishoom: From Bombay with Love, the book also functions as a love letter of sorts to old Bombay, focusing on the food, culture, and history of the city. They’re also throwing in some refreshing drinks recipes for the full dining experience. Yes, they’ve launched their very own cookbook. It promises “recipes for almost everything on our menu”, meaning bacon naan rolls, okra fries, black daal, and vegan dishes like jackfruit biryani will soon be coming to a kitchen near you.
Photo: Dishoom are dishing the dirt on their secret recipes. If it helps, The East India Gimlet comes strongly recommended, and the Chillitini is a personal favourite of mine. The drinks menu is so massive that you might want to start browsing before you arrive – it took my dad and I an embarrassingly long time to decide on just “two beers please.” But there’s a hefty list of cocktails, wines and lassis to cast your eyes over, so it’s a good idea to at least narrow down your preferences.
Photo: have separate menus for vegans and those avoiding dairy or gluten – and there’ll even arrange a legitimate feast for tables of ten or more. The Gunpowder Potatoes are a winning side order too, if you’re looking for something other than rice. Highlights for me include the House Black Daal, the Mattar Paneer, the Chole Puri (a chickpea curry served with puffy bread) and the Spicy Lamb Chops. The dishes are designed to share, and staff recommend getting a couple of dishes per person. Photo: it’s lunch or dinner you’re after, Dishoom has it all. Photo: opt for the Full, erm, Indian. The Big Bombay Breakfast includes akuri (spicy scrambled eggs), char-striped smoked streaky bacon, peppery Shropshire pork bangers, masala baked beans, grilled tomato and mushroom, and buttered pau buns. Match it with a lassi or a breakfast cocktail and you’ll be set for the day. In fact, I’d go as far as saying you can’t call yourself a Londoner until you’ve tried one. It laughs in the face of the British bacon buttie. Special shout out to the Bacon Naan – a light, puffy naan bread surrounded by layers of crispy sugar-cured bacon, melted cream cheese, coriander and chilli tomato jam. I’ve raved about it a few times – in fact, it features in our list of London breakfasts you must try before you die – and, trust me, there’s a reason for it.
(Header image: early till late, the day starts right with their cracking great breakfast. With five r estaurants across London, plus branches in Edinburgh, Manchester, and Birmingham, Dishoom is one of the most talked about restaurants in the city. It’s pretty likely that you’ve heard about Dishoom before now.
