Dishoom is a lively spot for Indian street food, featuring stunning vintage decor and a vibrant atmosphere that promises a delightful dining experience.
"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
"The only place beginning with a D with longer and more consistent lines than Dishoom is a theme park that serves giant turkey legs to families looking to hug an adult in a mouse costume. None of that goes on at Dishoom King’s Cross, but you will have to wait a while for your chicken ruby in the evening or bacon and egg naan first thing. The good news is that the Indian food’s worth the wait at this permanently busy spot." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna
"It’s not the only Dishoom in town but its award-winning colonial train station interior is easily the most handsome. Probably the best Indian fare available in London. Dishoom is great for an indulgent breakfast or an evening banquet with plenty of the house black daal." - Sam Morris
"There are Dishoom locations across London, all serving excellent Indian food. And importantly, Indian vegan food too. There’s everything from the vegan Bombay full breakfast, to small plates like chickpea curry, to vegan lassis, and a whole host of other options. Unless you’re rolling with a group of six or more, dinner at Dishoom operates on a walk-in basis, but the King’s Cross site is often your best bet for beating the queues." - Jake Oliver, Rianne Shlebak, Daisy Meager, Sinead Cranna
"At Dishoom, as well as top Indian dishes, a selection of chai drinks, and several lassis to choose from, there are also alcohol-free takes on classic cocktails. From a sober negroni to a dry espresso martini, all of their teetotal drinks have all the drama of a cocktail, so there’s zero risk of feeling left out. The menu is the same at all of the Dishoom locations, but the King’s Cross outpost is your best bet to avoid the queues." - Heidi Lauth Beasley, Sinead Cranna
