It is difficult to find great paneer outside of India, and apparently very few places in London have it, so if you make your way to Dishoom, you must try the Paneer Tikka. The one dish that finally brought me to Dishoom was paneer. Delicious street food in an upscale dining environment! Another favorite from our days in Mumbai that you will not often come across outside of India is Pau Bhaji (mashed potatoes and vegetables in a buttery bun). We also tried the samosa’s but we were not super impressed with these in terms of authenticity, however, they were still delicious. The crispy goodness will convert even staunch okra haters! Unfortunately at Dishoom, it does not come with the masala gravy, rather a chutney, but nevertheless it is worth trying. In India it is often called Lady Fingers or Bhindi Masala. This is one of my favorite dishes in India and you will almost never see it outside of the country.
Trust me, we sampled a ton of food! Start with the Okra Fries. If you aren’t sure what to get, order something from our recommendations. Once you make it inside, you are sure to be overwhelmed with the options on the menu.

In summer this was OK, but in the rain or in winter it could be miserable. on a weekday! Come to find out, Dishoom always has a horribly long wait, which is made worse by the fact that you have to stay in line, outside (if there is no space at the bar/waiting area). Much to our dismay there was a long line outside, even at 4 p.m. My son and I arrived on Thursday afternoon excited to finally try some authentic Indian food. These days there are only a few of the traditional Irani cafes left in Mumbai, but thankfully it’s spirit has moved to London with the crowd favorite Dishoom bringing in locals and tourists alike to critical acclaim. What to Expect at Dishoomĭishoom is a now well-established take on the old Irani cafés in 1960s era Bombay. It was better than good, it was as close as I have found to my favorite place in Mumbai. I knew it had to be good if our expat friends were raving about it. Our first visit was to Brick Lane, but we were highly disappointed with the westernized bland offerings.Ĭomplaining to our fellow expat friends from Mumbai, they suggested we try Dishoom.
