Chai for the Queue

Bottomless Tea at the Table
Once seated, the tea keeps coming. Guests note the comfort of bottomless tea, particularly appreciated during colder months, giving the meal a generous, unhurried feel.
The Detail in Every Plate

Thoughtfully Designed Interiors
The décor is carefully considered, with guests remarking on the detail in the interiors and photography. The atmosphere is stylish yet relaxed, creating a space that feels special without being stuffy.
Vibrant, Considered Condiments
The chutneys and accompaniments — described as vibrant and full of flavour — are treated with the same attention as the main dishes, rounding out the meal in a way that reflects genuine culinary care.
Smooth Off-Peak Visits
Guests who visit outside of peak hours report a particularly smooth experience — no booking required, no waiting — showing that Dishoom's hospitality holds up whether the restaurant is packed or quiet.
Tips for your first visit
Make the most of your visit
Book a table in advance
The restaurant gets busy, so making a reservation ahead of your visit helps you avoid a wait and ensures a smooth, relaxed experience.
Visit mid-afternoon to walk in
Arriving around 16:00 can mean no booking required and no queue, making it a convenient option for a spontaneous visit.
Try the butter chicken and keema
Reviewers consistently highlight the butter chicken curry and keema with pav as rich, comforting dishes well worth ordering.
Order the rumali rotis
The rumali rotis come highly recommended as an authentic accompaniment that pairs beautifully with the curries on the menu.
Enjoy the complimentary chai
If there is a queue, staff bring out chai tea to waiting customers, so the wait is far more pleasant than you might expect.
Note the service charge
An optional service charge of around 15% is added to the bill, so it is worth keeping that in mind when budgeting for your meal.
