Dishoom Birmingham in Birmingham

The quality of chicken was awful. It had fat and weird pieces in our Butter chicken. Put me off of their food. The service and atmosphere was great but for food, it's not authentic Indian food. Someone who wants authentic Indian food, please avoid. Thank you.

Nice hip restaurant, delicious fresh Indian fusion food with frequently changing menus. Good friendly and efficient service. It's not super cheap though, at £30-35 a head for a main course with a nan bread and a beer (including service charge). A bit noisy too, so maybe not ideal for a couple date.

Probably the best breakfast I’ve had! Great service too!

Second visit to Dishoom Birmingham. Food was tasty. Ordered Rara gosht is must try and loved the lamb and masala. Ruby chicken was not great this time. Service was too slow and hand to wait 15 mins just for the bill. If you have enough time to wait then could try this.

Friendly service & gorgeous food. The chocolate pudding with chilli ice cream is quite the best dessert ever!

THE VIBE, THE AMBIENCE, THE SERVICE. Everything was amazing. The food is scrumptious. Better than the Indian food I have had personally. Mr. Max was amazing with his service, very helpful, took us through the menu really well. This is one of the most genuine reviews I've ever written. I actually mean it, if you're not going here, your loss. PS : over all we enjaayed a lot saar (only telugu people can understand 😂)

Great meals inviting atmosphere and caring staff make this restaurant a gem

I had an amazing spicy breakfast.Lovely atmosphere and charming service

To celebrate turning 62 years old we chose to start the celebration off with having a meal at Dishoom Birmingham. I booked a table for my wife and l on-line, the process in doing so was so was so painless. Our welcome from the staff on the front desk was superb, big smiles and laughter. The decor and the ambiance is a sensory delight and experience with the smell of burning incense filling the air. The menu is very interesting too. My wife chose Vegan sausage naan, with grilled mushrooms and l chose A Parsi three egg omelette, with grilled mushrooms and Marsala beans, plus a bowl of date and banana porridge. Needless to say we thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast. A special thank you to the member of the team that took our order. He was not only very welcoming and helpful, but he also assisted in finding my wallet that l had dropped on leaving the table. Such a relief. I would thoroughly recommend eating at Dishoom Birmingham.

The food was amazing, and the staff were very polite and helpful. The ambience was very peaceful. We will definitely go again.

Love Dishoom! The food is always tasty - rich, deep flavours, piping hot and great variety. Great value, especially for a city centre restaurant. Always a warm welcome. Highly recommend

Absolutely wonderful from start to finish! I work in the industry myself as management and it felt almost naughty to be off work and visiting a restaurant on a Saturday. The host was so relaxed (no matter what anyone says the host has the hardest job, juggling tables and greeting hungry guests than can sometimes be rude) and when I say it was busy… it was BUSY! All the team were calm and collected, no one was running around everyone seemed on top of their sections. It was so chilled and not chaotic at all. The food was to die for! Have been here a handful of times in the past but not in a long time and it was an absolute treat to eat such good food in the centre of Birmingham. Also for anyone that moans about optional service charge as I’ve seen in previous reveiws … it’s in the name “optional” the system adds it itself and not the waiters so calm down. Couldn’t fault our visit at all! Thank you dishoom

Second visit and it was wonderful. Food is delicious and service was excellent

I visited Dishoom Birmingham with two friends who had not eaten at Dishoom before. It did not disappoint. The whole experience was exceptional. No long after being seated our service came over with water and menus. After a detailed explanation of the menu and some recommendations our order was taken. The food was promptly serviced and it was delicious. I wanted to introduce my friends to the house chai but we didn’t have time. On paying the bill I mentioned that it would be nice if they did take out. Our server overheard this and as we left he brought three cups of chai. It made our night. The little gestures go a long way.

Delicious food, perfectly cooked. Outstanding service.

Staff are fantastic. Food delicious. Atmosphere great( slightly on the noisy side) .Definitely our go to place when visiting Birmingham

Super indian food in a super atmosphere.

Disappointed - busy and very commercial & expensive feel - money more important than guests, even upselling the bottle only beers - we were told no large bottles only small and it felt bad when others were +% more! I was with a large party and even though disappointed I missed the extra 12.5% optional service charge which due to the lack of drinks should have been reduced. Sorry but I wouldn't go again in a hurry and certainly would not book Christmas or business meal again.

Authentic flavors, perfectly spiced and delicious. Cozy, vibrant ambience made the dining even more enjoyable!

It can be said that it is the Indian food with the best decoration, presentation and service. The overall taste is salty and spicy, but the fragrance is really fragrant. It’s a great place to bring friends who are biased against Indian food to refresh their knowledge.

Highly recommend Chilli Chicken and prawns off the grill! A great restaurant with an amazing small plates menu.

Dishoom 'Vada Pav' is the best I had ever had, and best paired with their house Chai ! the perfect combo! Amazing food, and very warm staff. Definitely a must visit place.

I left a complaint regarding the appalling experience me and my wife received at Dishoom, during our first experience at the Birmingham branch. A waiter called Nevraj/Navraj/Neeraj proceeded to flirt with my wife in front of me, which made both of us very uncomfortable. The occasion was her birthday and I requested a dessert be brought out, where he stated that it was on the house from him. Which mislead the gesture from myself to my wife. He kept appearing at our table and smiling at my wife and trying to chat her up. He even asked indirectly how old she was. I asked what would be a good starter dish and he recommended me something that was extremely spicy and disgusting on purpose, Which left my eyes watering and mouth burning. When I left our table to pay the bill, he appeared and tried to flirt with my wife again while I was gone and soon as he saw me return he left. I also realised I was charged for the dessert which the waiter claimed was on the house. The experience me and my wife had from this restaurant was appalling and left both of us very uncomfortable. The food was pricey and we did not enjoy it either, however the drinks were ok.

From booking online, to leaving the restaurant on the day, my wife and I had an amazing experience. The food was divine as always and the service from all the staff was excellent. I would like to pay particular thanks to our server Kim on the day as is level of service was brilliant. Friendly, attentive without being introduced. Well done Dishoom, you’ve nailed it again!

4 ppl. 1 beer each, stater plus main the bill £175. 12.5% service charge on top. Really nice food but ridiculous prices.

1st time we have had breakfast here and it was BRILLIANT! The food is amazing and the service exceptional. The whole vibe was very customer service focussed which with such a big team is so hard to do. In particular Ryan was superb, a real credit to the business.

It's best option for indian restaurant in birmingham

Ate lunch here yesterday. Honestly it was an amazing experience. The food is peak, staff are lovely and attentive and the place itself has a warm old skool feel. Amazing greeting too. Would recommend both the chefs specials, the Pau Baji starter and Prawn Pathia main. The wrap was also amazing. Awesome place. Gutted I don't live nearby but will be checking out one of the London branches ASAP.

Food is really nice and the place is very posh.

Gutted they don’t do the green chutney anymore!!! Otherwise love this place

Absolutely first rate in every sense. Food was exceptional, service was second to none. The restaurant was really busy, lots of celebrations so the atmosphere was great but we still got fantastic attention and service. Excellent value for such a high quality experience.

The staff at Dishoom always goes above and beyond to provide the best customer service! The experience is always so positive and welcoming. Smile faces all around. The decor is homely yet unique. The space is very spacious. And has loads of natural light. Went on a Sunday for Lunch and they’re very busy but the food service was so speedy and the staff always made sure that everything was okay. The vegan options are 10/10. Wish that the dhal could be made vegan!! The bottomless Oat Chai is a win. Will be back for sure! And will recommend to friends and family ☺️

Food was OK, but didn't 'wow' me in taste and portion size for the price we paid. I would go back to try other variaty though.

Worst experience ever. We were a party of just 2 people without reservation and we've been told to wait 40min max which we glady accepted to have a drink at the bar. After almost one hour waiting, and only when we asked an update about our table, we've been told first that we would have been seated in few minutes just to discover, from another person, that they had no idea about the availability of our table. Definitely and warmly NOT SUGGESTED

I still miss authentic Indian food in the Uk. No one has ever served an authentic Indian food to me in the last 15 years of me living here. But this restaurant is alright as per UK Indian restaurant standard.

Heard of Dhishoom so many times in London, but could never make it. Today I found Dhishoom in Birmingham and decided to give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised by the food quality and taste. We started with Chili Chicken, which is very close to the Indo-Chinese style found in my home city. 4.5/5 Then we moved to Spicy Lamb Chops. Though the meat was a bit chewy, we found the taste very good. 4.5/5 Then we had the Prawn Pathai with Romali Roti as per the waiter’s recommendation. I wasn’t absolutely thrilled with it as it was a bit too sour for me. But the prawn was cooked perfectly. Very succulent. 3.5/5. And finally had the Lamb Pepper Fry. I have had better. So this would be 3/5. Then for dessert, we found our childhood nostalgia. Kala Khatta Gola. I think this was probably one of the best Kala Khatta we have had, even compared to the ones back home. 5/5 And finally, Malai Kulfi. Absolutely Yum!!! Definitely worth try, if you enjoy Kulfi. But this does not come with any additional colorful syrup like they give in India. 4.5/5 . Overall, definitely worth coming back to. Loved the Iranian style architecture.

Took my mom along for a 75th Birthday surprise. Fantastic food, fantastic atmosphere, fantastic service!!! Thank you all at Dishoom Birmingham.

Great breakfast as always celebrating Hubbys birthday just forgot to get our loyalty card stamped!

Lovely building and decor. Food was really tasty and staff explained the menu well.

A MUST VISIT PLACE. This place is just FAB. From the moment you come in to the moment you sit, eat, relax, chill, you are looked after by staff with a huge smile in their face. You feel pampered with how attentive the staff are. I had one of their breakfasts and it was delicious. Their bottomless hot drink idea is just WOW. There is seating outside as well and look over the museum. There are vegan, vegetarian, lactose free options. Definetly recommend.

Wonderful place and the server Zuzana she was awesome she is well trained and knows how to cater guest and make them comfortable. What ever she recommended we loved it. Had a great family time. Will visit you soon

The food was amazing, came out in good time! Really flavourful and perfect portion sizes. Our server Kim was so attentive and lovely. Always filling up our water, knew the menu like the back of his hand and was great with recommendations! Give that man a raise! He made my partners birthday experience just wonderful. Thank you Kim

We went for dinner on a Saturday night. It was extremely busy. We ordered food and it did take a while but as we were chatting it wasn't a problem. The food was very good and flavourful, although not super hot in temperature. Service however was poor. Our waitress took our order and we did not see her again until she took a dessert order. We needed more water and drinks but she never checked in on us. The bill also took quite a while to come. I guess service isn't important when the service charge is automatic.

The food was unbelievable. The staff were incredible. Lovely atmosphere 10/10

Came here for a work party of 8 people. The place is huge and lots of space with Hugh ceilings. Decor is dark and ambient. The staff was very attentive and excellent but there is a service charge added to each bill which you can take off if requested but we left ours on. The food is very flavoursome and not too big potions. I had a dishoom margarita cocktail which I found to be on the small size for the price. With the place being so big and lots of people in it was hard to hear each other and felt the need to shout a lot. But I'd definitely revisit.

Definitely recommend a visit! Not only is the ambience and atmosphere amazing but the staff are so helpful and kind. Definitely recommend a number of dishes including chilli chicken, chicken ruby, chole puri or even to get a chai and their chocolate dessert

We had a great meal at Dishoom. Really friendly staff, great service, and amazing food. Will definitely be back.

Great food and fantastic service

Super delicious food. The mutter paneer was heavenly, and the best I had in recent years! Jackfruit Biryani is another great choice. Service is quick, warm, and great! Our kids hugely enjoyed the colouring session! :) I have already let my friend circle in UK know about this "never-miss" restaurant in Birmingham! :)

Large restaurant with a lively atmosphere. There is a decent space for each table, so we didn't feel cramped. The staff were very helpful in explaining the menu and giving advice around the spiciness or not of the dishes. The three people in our party loved the food they had, one was a vegetarian and was well catered for. The food was flavourful and good quality. With the murgh malai and chicken tikka being great. Our vegetarian had the paneer rolls, these were very filling and had to take one home with us. They encouraged us to take home leftovers and had containers ready for this which was great to see. Decent value for money in central Birmingham.

Amazing service. We were celebrating my mother in laws 60th birthday and our waiter Wajid was so kind and made the experience lovely.

1st visit and I was very impressed by the staff from the time I entered the venue. I was warmly greeted by the young man at the front desk and then by the rest of the staff…. The food was great and well presented

Hi we travelled from Ireland to Birmingham and I tried the food in Dishoom which did not end up in good experience here the food quantity and prices doesn’t match I literally did not expect raisins in biryani and we ask them to make curry spicy and they served curry with Chillies separately. By seeing the reviews I literally expected a lot but it is not worth and taste was average. I ordered chicken ruby, mutton pepper fry, jackfruit biryani, rumali roti, tandoori roti, mango lassi (which is diluted compare to other restaurants)and chicken biryani not even one dish I was satisfied. I don’t know why they had such good reviews since the there is no taste. They did not treat us same as foreigners since they most targeted customers are foreigners not Indian’s.

Great experience at Dishoom Birmingham again on our second visit. The food was mouth watering as usual and service was top notch. Black Daal and Chicken Ruby were the best.

Been for birthday celebration again to Dishoom Amazing food and staff same taste as Edinburgh and Manchester it's hard to maintain amazing work

Dishoom provides great service and great food time and time again. I’d recommend booking ahead of visiting. If not you can spend time waiting at the bar - great menu of drinks

Fantastic lunch. Food was delicious and the staff were very friendly and helpful

Great food and a lovely atmosphere

We went as a group of adults and young children yesterday. The food, ambience and service was impeccable. Food was finger licking brilliant, we didnt even take pics as were too busy tucking into the food. Special mention to Maria, who looked after us whilst there, she made the experience more memorable. Will be back again soon.

Service is superb - friendly, knowledgeable and charming. Food is everything their reputation promises - yes, the black daal really is that good!

Food and service are always excellent. Can never be faulted.

food is some of the nicest i’ve had , atmosphere and decor is amazing, the server was really helpful and friendly, portions are maybe a bit small but it was still enough.

Simon, Bilal, Kim and Masimba, amazing service

It’s overpriced Indian food that isn’t actually proper Indian food. I’d say it’s more Persian, personally. I recommend the local Baltis on Ladypool Road and Desi Pubs in Handsworth to get proper decent portions and flavour at a way better price than what this posh lardee-da place offers

Lovely establishment, lots of variety to choose from, food was scrumptious

Fantastic food, lovely atmosphere. The person who looked after us was so helpful and friendly. A great experience and we will be back soon

Best Indian food I've had out of India. I definitely recommend trying it! Even if you're a tourist in the city it's a great food choice. The dishes are great and they have an interesting variety with amazing indian flavors. The staff are very friendly and attentive. Will return for sure!

An absolutely exquisite experience at Dishoom Birmingham. By luck, I stumbled into Dishoom while was in Birmingham for a day and boy! I am extremely glad that I did. First of all, superb service. The service here was phenomenal, food arrived laser quick! Then comes the quality of food. To me this was THE best quality Indian food I have ever had abroad, just perfect in every way. Finally, the interior design was amazing! We were buzzing the entire time we were here! One of the highlights for me during my trip to the UK!

My 3rd lunch here. I really like this place, the food is very tasty, the service is great, everyone is friendly and the space is attractive inside and out. I would go more often if I could afford it.

Fantastic experience. All staff were super friendly and welcoming. Great with accommodation little kids. Our 16 month old enjoyed a taster of mango lassie and loves the house Dahl.

Everything is good. Just a service after serving one thing they forget first served. Rest all good.

This is our first visit to Dishoom I must say the authenticity of food is at the top. Manjit served us from the heart.. he knows his guest needs and very kindly he preset and tell us about dishes.. he deserves promotion.

If you're looking for a different Indian experience, this place has it. Atmosphere and service 👌🏽. Food, different and flavourful. Pricey for me, but on the odd occasion and celebrations is a nice change. They served us a complimentary dessert (chocolate pudding with chilli ice cream) for our special celebration. Had a nice and relaxing time and enjoyed the food.

Ate here for breakfast and the food, and especially the service, were so good we came back for dinner when our previous reservation fell through. Will definitely use Dishoom again if we're somewhere there's an outlet.

This restaurant is an epitome of culinary experience alongwith great hospitality and ambience… Location - 5/5 Hospitality- 5/5 Vibe - 5/5 Menu - 5/5 Food - 5/5 (Chilli chicken was amazing, chole puri was superb and spread of chantni was to die for) Overall a must visit again

Food and service was great but bloody expensive! 12 quid for 3 lamb kebabs! Absolutely ludicrous!

The food was delish! I've come here twice will definitely be back! Drinks was lovely to & service was good ! Thanks to all staff who make it a top notch service to dine here 👏

Highly recommended! We get there as walk-in and luckily had a table. Service was really top and the food was amazing. I would come back if I have chance.

Was looking forward to this food and it didn't disappoint. Charming staff. Atmosphere is great, acoustics leave a little to be desired as the sound is very brash and conversation is difficult.

We went for a work lunch and was served by the wonderful Alex, the service he provided was so lovely really thoughtful and professional. He gave me great suggestions for my food and drinks. Thanks Alex. Regarding the overall meal, it was perfect. Plenty of food for everyone and great ambience only feedback was the menu is a bit overwhelming especially if you don't eat Indian food often. Other than that we'll be heading back again.

Just had a superb meal in dishoom.super fresh and quality ingredients but the service by robert ( from hungary) was the cheery that topped the cake. Superb

EN: A brilliant culinary experience. We ate Naan rolls, drank Chai tea, everything tasted 10/10. Szymon gave great advice on food, but also told us how to spend time in Birmingham, it's worth coming here. EN: A brilliant culinary experience.

During our trip to Birmingham, we decided to visit Dishoom for breakfast. The experience was quite memorable. The decor was amazing, filled with vintage details that created a charming atmosphere. The staff were great, The vibe was lively and welcoming. One standout was the chai – it was one of the best I have ever had. As a chai lover, this alone would bring me back to Dishoom. The food, however, was average for me. Despite that, I wouldn’t hesitate to visit again for their exceptional chai. If you love chai, I highly recommend giving Dishoom a try. 👍👍

An absolute gem off a find beautiful place sat outside as beautiful day but beautiful inside. Busy but very good service, excellent wait staff, gorgeous food definitely a place to try if you like Asian food at its best.

Amazing Restaurant, with great food, great atmosphere and rhe staff are very friendly.

Our host yesterday was do nice, his service and smile all the tome made the whole experience so well. I believe his name is Dimitriv (not sure)

The Wrestler Naan from @dishoom is a top tier breakfast, sausage, bacon, masala egg all tightly wrapped in the fluffliest if naan breads This is an absolute monster and could probably be ordered to share Sausages were so tasty and real good quality, only marked down on the chilli jam (or maybe it was ketchup) as it gets bit over powering 9/10 #Rinviews #RineshRatings

Food, service and ambience were all excellent. We will most definitely be back. Thank you.

First visit with a voucher for my birthday. Superb food from an interesting menu and great service from Katie. Lovely ambiance - would definitely recommend. Thank you for my birthday pud!

Stopped for a quick drink and a kulfi. Very attentive staff. The pistachio kulfi was just lovely. They also had a great beer which they seem to have produced in collaboration with Northern Monk. All in all a very pleasant experience on a lovely sunny terrace.

Very impressed with the service, especially from lovely lady called Zuzzana. Served with a friendly smile on her face and helped us choose our food. Thank you!

Wonderful breakfast, so much choice will have to go back again to explore further! Great place and staff really friendly.

Great food and atmosphere. Special thanks to Boota for the excellent service. Would definitely recommend!

Exquisite! From the smell walking through the door, the decor (so atmospheric), the epic 5* service and the heavenly food….nothing prepared me for Dishoom! We dropped in for lunch while we had a couple of days in the city, wanting some Indian food the Bombay Irani Cafe inspired menu looked good. The food was a combination of familiar flavours put together in a way that was do different, it was fresh, vibrant and delicious. My husband dislikes vegetarian food on principle but two of his favourites were the broccoli salad and signature Dahl. We lovely everything! If there was a Dishoom within an hour from home it would be my favourite regular restaurant. I get the book too, so worth a read and there are some perfect recipes.

Fantastic food, service and ambience. This is one of my favourite restaurants. We often came for dinner, but we also had breakfast recently, which was lovely. Ryan, our server went out of his way to accommodate our needs. Always an excellent set ice here.

Modern decor with subtle Indian touches and an incredible menu. Came for breakfast, and the offerings were so authentic and delicious . The service is some of the best in Birmigham I have experienced. They make you feel right at home. A must visit in town

This spot is great for casual night outs. Delicious food and super fast service. Myriad options are available for meat lovers. The place is always lively and welcoming!

Great food and service from Ryan, will be back!

From the moment we walked in we felt welcomed and valued guests. Our server was great, explained the menu as it was our first visit and helped up choose a delicious brunch. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Thank you.

Lovely restaurant, great choice of food on the menu. A bit more expensive than your average Indian food but the quality, flavours and variety make it worth it!
