"Verdict: Yes, this Indian spot may be seriously hyped, but honestly, the ruby curry deserves all the praise it gets. The combination of home-style Indian cooking, vibey retro surroundings, and excellent cocktails means that Dishoom has become a reliable London staple, whichever location you go to. You can book for a group of any size until 6pm, but after that, only groups of six or more can make reservations and it's walk-in-only for everyone else. Our best advice is to leave work early to avoid a long wait. We’ve also had success arriving at 12pm on the weekend and not having to queue." - jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley
