London has hundreds of great Indian restaurants, but Dishoom is special because it is incredibly welcoming, lively, and fun. It is designed to feel like the old, bustling cafes of Bombay. You won’t find stuffy waiters here; just warm service and food that tastes like a hug.
The food is meant to be shared. Their black daal (lentils cooked slowly for 24 hours) is famous across the city, and their chicken ruby curry is a crowd favorite. If you go early in the morning, you absolutely have to try their bacon naan roll with a cup of hot chai tea. It is a fantastic spot for a big family dinner or a relaxed business lunch.
