Delighting denizens of the district—the debut Dishoom. - Edit
Where it all started. Still one of the best.

Such a Cool Twist on Indian Food 🇮🇳✨ - Edit
This place is so good! We came for brunch and loved the modern spin on traditional Indian flavors — everything felt fresh, creative, and full of character. The vibe was amazing, and I honestly wish we’d come back for dinner too. Definitely a must-try spot in London if you love unique dining experiences with great energy and flavor.

Excellent vegan options - Edit
There was a line, but at the end was a woman with a tablet taking names, and she said 25 minutes for two, and it was! I asked our server for the vegan menu. He got one and explained the dishes all come out when ready. I had the House Chaat (oat yoghurt), Vada Pau, and shared the Grilled greens. It was all delicious, flavorful and filling! Service was great, and the vegan menu has plenty of options. The menu on line was accurate. Would definitely go back to try other dishes or just get the same ones to enjoy again!

Always a good, reliable option - Edit
Dishoom is rapidly becoming one of my favourite chains - the food is always so fresh and full of flavour and there are plenty of options - just be sure to ask for the vegan menu. On my trip to the Covent Garden branch we went for bhel, gunpowder potatoes and pau bhaji. Everything was delicious and I'll definitely be trying to recreate some of these at home.

Always so tasty - Edit
Ate at Dishoom Covent Garden recently. The highlight of the meal was the vegan house chaat- this is to die for. The vegan gunpowder potatoes were also delicious. I had the chickpea main (can’t remember the name) which was lovely but extremely spicy.

Deserves a 5 star rate for the English breakfast - Edit
We were painfully looking for a place offering an English breakfast with vegan options and we ended up in Dishoom ! What a really nice surprise !
Read moreThe waiter was extremely nice and careful with our dietary, so don’t hesitate to ask for a vegan menu which regroup all the vegan options available there
I had a Vegan Bombay breakfast which is a vegan spicy version of the English breakfast with :
Scrambled tofu, grilled mushroom, oily spicy buns, vegan sausages, vegan black pudding, tomato and beans
It’s one of the best experiences I’ve had !
But note that waiting or service can be long because of the success of the place

Delicious vegan Indian food -- Would give 5 stars if I could! - Edit
Went to the original Dishoom location (Covent Garden) and it was a very fun atmosphere. Wasn't super hungry at the time so I had a light lunch with my partner, although now I regret not tasting more of their dishes while I was in London. Love that they have a special vegan menu and the waitstaff are super friendly, attentive, and aware of vegan/dietary needs. We shared the Dishoom House Chaat (SUPER delicious and filing despite being a small plate) and Basmati Kheer (ultra sweet dessert). We also had bottomless vegan chai lattes and I ordered a mango lassi that could be prepared vegan -- all of the beverages were top-notch. Highly recommend this restaurant even if it is a bit touristy!

Delicious, but a bit rushed - Edit
Dishoom is a large restaurant, but it was still packed when we visited. Therefore, the staff were a bit stressed and we felt a bit rushed. We would have liked our meal more relaxed. We still enjoyed it a lot, though, because the food was so delicious.
Read moreWe shared three dishes between us: The Dishoom House Chaat, the Gunpowder Potatoes and the Behl. We also ordered the khichia. The potatoes were fantastic and the chaat was one of the best things we have ever tasted! We knew this dish from Dishoom in Edinburgh, and we loved it just as much this time. We did not like the Behl that much, but that might be our personal taste.
There is a separate vegan menu that is varied and something else compared to your average Indian restaurant.
We also had vegan lassis which we enjoyed very much.
- Visited in March 2024 -
Pros: Delicious food, Beautiful interior, Vegan menu, Special dishes that are not average
Cons: We felt a bit rushed

Wow! What an experience this was! There is a separate vegan menu so no guesswork required. I HIGHLY recommend the gunpowder potatoes and the Roti. And if you don’t order the basmati Kheer for dessert, you’re cheating yourself! What a wonderful explosion of delightful flavors. Perfect

Stunning Indian food - Edit
I've always adored Indian food, but had yet to go Dishoom. I managed to go with some friends, and was the only vegan person in the group. We ordered several vegan dishes, and EVERYONE loved them! A particular favourite was the Gunpowder Potatoes - I think we all could have eaten a portion of those! I really enjoyed the Vada Pau. A delicious rich dish which is generously spicey and comes with light, crisp rolls.

Speciale Vegan kaart - Edit
Bij dit gezellige Indiase restaurant middenin Londen, wijk Covent Garden kun je erg lekker Vegan eten. Ze hebben een speciale aparte Vegan menukaart. Ik nam de curry met kikkererwten. Super goed! Als je voor vijven bent, is er plek voor diner. Daarna staan er lange rijen.

Excellent food and service. They have a separate vegan menu. - Edit
I got the vada pau and broccoli salad. Both super flavorful and delicious. I’m only allowed to give four because they aren’t an all veg establishment. Otherwise I would give 5. I got the oat milk chai which was good but it could have used more spice for my taste. Overall great experience and food!

5 stars? - Edit
We were on London for a week and came back three times, that's how much we loved the food 😍
Read moreLots of vegan options on a separate menu, everything was delicious and the service was great.
The only reason it's 4 stars is because the place isn't vegan so I cant technically give it more.

One of my all time favs! - Edit
Have been going to Dishoom since they opened and love it more every time I visit. The food is so good! They now have a separate vegan menu which is helpful and the staff are always friendly, nothing is too much trouble for them. The grilled pineapple tikka and chole are very good but the okra fried are 🔥
