Dishoom Shoreditch in Hackney

Splendid lunch with my colleagues at Dishoom in Shoreditch. Attention to detail across the board from the excellent service, lovely veranda, and of course the amazing nosh. Dishes are meant to be shared - we tried the okra fries, lamb samosas, special prawn dish (incredible flavor), special lamb daal, and the ruby chicken. Accompaniments included cheese naan bread, rice, and three different styles of side sauce (spicy, fresh/herbal, and sweet). Highly recommend!

Great service and really tasty breakfast food

Have been eating at Dishoom since 2019.. tried their different outlets in London, Manchester, Brighton but this was my first visit to Shoredirch outlet... As usual like any Dishoom outlet it's busy even on weekdays... Long waiting queue, thankfully I had a booking... Snacks, unusual cocktails and Indian dinner is what you go to Dishoom for... Enjoyed their snacks and dinner as always but somehow the cocktails were just ok this time ...

Fantastic food, the raving reviews we’ve seen before the trip proved reliable. Ordered the mutton fry, chicken ruby, biriyani, okra fries, and naans. The mutton and the okra fries are the top two. Okra fries were so good you can just order a big bowl and binge eat it. Will definitely return to try their other dishes as well the next time I’m back in London!

The food is beyond good good service

Great service, good and ambiance. One of our favorite meals while in London!

Food was delicious, service was excellent

Delicious, greT and quick service

The breakfast naan wraps with masala beans are perhaps my favorite breakfast ever??

The best experience for Julia’s birthday. Will definitely return again!

We had a very nice time ! The food was delicious and Alex our waitress was amazing. We will definitely come back to Dishoom Shoreditch

the waitress named Alex has been the best waitress ever ! I hope you’ll have the pleasure to meet her! Best service ever here and of course the cuisine is amazing!

Cool vibe and cool interior, breakfast items are good but nothing mind blowing

Went here for brunch on a Sunday - the food was fantastic - I went for the big Bombay and it was 10/10

Great food and great service from Silviu!!

Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere. Will definitely be back

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Absolutely will be returning

Dishoom has exceeded any expectations I've had for Indian food! Everything was so good! I can't wait until the next time to try more fares. Long queues but so worth it!

Super nice food and ambience! Really great!

Had THE best time celebrating our friend's birthday. The food and the vibes were top notch - thank you to the team!!!

The server we had was so lovely with us, and brought my girlfriend and her twin brother birthday dessert on the house. The food was great, and menu explained with care to us. Long wait to get in for a walk in, but it was well worth it.

Not as good as other dishooms we’ve been too. Food overall was good, but mixed across dishes. We sat outdoors and the ambience took a big hit compared to main restaurant.

Favourite place to have breakfast! Service is amazing!

All the dishes were delicious, a real taste journey!!

Soo good! Rice is fragrant, chicken ruby is on spot, blackened prawn is still juicy and the house black daal goes so well with the fluffy garlic naan. Oh ya, not forgetting the chutney. It was spicy and yet so good.

I had a delicious lunch. The food, service, and atmosphere were perfect. The place was lively, and the Kokum drink was refreshing.

Had a lovely lunch date here with my partner. It was quite busy but we were seated quickly and staff were very attentive. My first visit to Dishoom and after hearing some great things I was not disappointed!! Food was delicious! I would highly recommend the mattar paneer and the chicken tikka skewers. A great meal and we'll be sure to return!

So so so good vegan menu. The next time I’m back in London, I’m coming back.

The black dhal is worth whatever wait you have.

The wait was double what we were advised

Great food as usual. Always our go to spot! Lovely host! Whole ambiance reminds me of Bombay! Great table service.

Absolutely worth the wait in the queue for this fabulous Indian restaurant in London. Menu, venue and staff are fantastic. The Black Dal (Dishoom’s own recipe) is simply out of this world. Next time in London I won't have any doubts on where to go for a great meal, again.

This was one of the top five meals of my life. Ruby Chicken and the Chaat were incredible. Service was also great. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Service was great, thank you for creating a beautiful lunch for us today.

Everything we ordered was delicious and the customer service was amazing. Dishes ordered 👇🏾 Lamb samosas Chicken Tikka Lamb chops Black Daal Grilled greens Roasted corn

Delicious food and drinks, great service

Honestly we came in here for the hype thinking food was going to be spiced but not as spicy. We were advised on what to get by staff who’s super friendly and knowledgeable, found it spicy but extremely good. Definitely worth the burn, will come back <3

Really good food and very professional staff

Amazing food atmosphere highly recommended

Came her for a family birthday brunch. Good vibes and cute birthday gifts. Thank you!

Great breakfsst Great service Alba!

It was yummy! Service was awesome!

Excellent food, service and dining experience

Came for my first visit to Dishoom in Shoreditch last night. The food was AMAZING and service was even better. The lovely Ruth served us and was super helpful with recommendations etc. only had to wait about 20 minutes for a table which was great! 100% would recommend to a friend and can’t wait to come back for another visit.

Luka gave us an amazing experience with a simple overview whilst giving every detail we asked for. Fantastic suggestions also!

The food and service were great, as expected from a popular restaurant, it was super busy and loud but that’s not to fault the restaurant!

Amazing service from kind staff to match the stunning food 👌

The chicken ruby and garlic naan were amazing. Very friendly staff too!

Very popular place on weekends, we had to wait 50 minutes on a Saturday evening to get a table. During the wait you have the right to wait at the bar and be served a drink. The menu mainly focuses on Bombay street food. The dishes are spiced and flavored just right, everything is served fairly quickly. The lamb chops are excellent but a little small, Chef Prawn Pathia's special shrimp dish is good but not extraordinary in terms of taste, I will have other dishes next time. The byriani is very good. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, ultra efficient given the number of tables and customers. Just the atmosphere is too noisy in this kind of place, hanging a few pegboards from the ceiling will lower the noise level and improve the overall experience. I really recommend this place for a pleasant evening, I will return on my next visit to London. The price is quite fair but you have to add 12.5% ​​service to the price displayed on the menu

Staff was very attentive and the food was great!

Very busy place, better to book in advance. Excellent food, prices slightly higher than average considering that the dishes are not so abundant. Staff quite friendly but very frank.

Absolutely phenomenal experience at Dishoom Shoreditch! The food was incredible—every dish bursting with flavour—and the service was just as exceptional. The whole place has such a warm, buzzing atmosphere, making it the perfect spot for a special occasion. We were celebrating my husband’s 50th, and they truly made him feel like a king. From start to finish, we were treated like royalty. Couldn’t have asked for a better night. Thank you, Dishoom!

Came to celebrate my birthday, very attentive service and fantastic food. I always enjoy Dishoom even more so when there is no queue! They treated my birthday like I was the first person to celebrate a birthday there, they made it so special. Really appreciated

Amazingly attentive service. Made our birthday very special! Thank you.

This experience was up there with my all time top 1! Travelling around the world and have never been looked after so well. The staff were 10/10 the food was 10/10. It was my birthday and without prompting I was given a desert and a card(with a coin inside) and I’m a huge coin fan. This made my birthday. Well done everyone you nailed it!

I had such a lovely experience at Dishoom with my friends, the food and atmosphere is great. The thing that stood out the most was the service, which was incredible. A massive shout out to Ruth, honestly was so attentive and accommodating!

Nice atmosphere and well prepared food

Wonderful service and delicious food!

Great location and ambience. Super-friendly and attentive service from the moment we entered. Loved the decor and vibrant atmosphere and would go back, just for that. The food was very decent, but not as good as I had hoped. I was hoping for next-level experiences, considering all the hype around Dishoom. It wasn't extraordinary. It was just really lovely food, but nothing that stood out as spectacular or "never had as good, or better," which was kind of, what I had hoped for.

I love this place. It has a proper Indian vibe and taste.. specially their tea ❤️

Great birthday experience for my friend and I

Nice food, atmosphere and people. Always a pleasure to come here. Totally recommend it!

We had brunch for my friend’s birthday and whilst the food was good, it was the service that really stood out for us. Shoutout to Alba who went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. My friend got complimentary pancakes and even a handwritten birthday card! Thanks Alba for helping to make the occasion extra special 🫶🏽

as unique as the waitress is kind

Alba was amazing, I mean really amazing server. Thanks Alba x

Unbelievable. Everything was amazing. Highly recommend the chicken ruby. House chai tea to end the night was chefs kiss.

Great food and drinks! Bartenders were awesome and all staff so pleasant and accommodating!

I wish we got their names but our waitress and the gentleman who ran out to us to give us our back pack were both great people! We appreciated our waitress’s attention to my daughter’s allergies. We left our backpack in the restaurant and that gentleman was kind enough to chase after us. Food was excellent as always. Our first stop after arriving in London was DISHOOM! We might return one more time before we go home. Dishes we enjoyed the most: House chaat, house dal, mutter paneer, grilled paneer, chatanis My husband liked the old fashioned and chili ice cream. My kids liked the rose lassi more than the mango lassi. They found the food to be a bit spicy so washed it down with lots of lassi.

A taste sensation. Me and the girls thoroughly enjoyed almost everything on the menu. Delicious. We loved the chicken ruby, the black Dahl, gunpowder potato’s. It was elite

Another marvellous meal at Dishoom, the variety of tastes and textures not to mention the service and atmosphere are simply the best. We are all regulars although this was the first time the three of us had visited together, this time for a birthday celebration. We were all in agreement that nowhere compares with Dishoom when it comes to the quality and variety of the food. Delicious.

Fantastic all the way through, from the friendly staff, who provide great service, to the delicious food and relaxed atmosphere. A higher price point from other Indian restaurants but value for money.

I had a lovely meal on Saturday afternoon. It was my birthday and the staff were fantastic, not just with me but the surrounding tables. The food was delicious and service was quick without feeling rushed. It was a really special dining experience, I'll be back!

This restaurant has a unique vintage theme serving some of the best Indian street food in the area. It’s a very busy joint with an excellent cocktail menu at the bar, as well as many delicious dishes on their main menu. Definitely a restaurant to try when you visit London. I would suggest trying several drinks and dishes to fully absorb the experience.

Excellent food as always and top notch service!

Enjoyed the rose and cardamom lassi, the chicken ruby, and the vegetable samosas!

Amazing food, nice staff. Highly recommended.

My first experience with Dishoom and, thankfully, it was everything I hoped it would be. The food was just as good as I had been told it was, especially the Black Daal. One of the best dishes I’ve tasted anywhere for a long time. The Monkfish curry was also very good. Can’t wait to go back.

High expectations met, will come again

Great food and even better service. Highly recommend!

The most well-curated storytelling for a dining experience I’ve ever had the pleasure of participating in.

Excellent- really enjoyed the meal and the staff are lovely!

Fantastic and the Spanish waiter was fantastic

A fantastic alternative for breakfast with a cosy atmosphere, tremendous service and scrumptious dishes. I recommend the Chole with pickled vegetables and halwa, accompanied by bottomless (oat) chai.

Lovely time for my friend's birthday. The staff were so nice and we will come back soon

Great breakfast with great service.

What an amazing breakfast, and such fabulous service - we will be back!

Amazing food with extremely friendly service from a Spanish boy! He was so sweet and patient!

Good food, but menu options are very limited. The service wasn’t the great and atmosphere wasn’t the best too. It was either too chilly or too hot, as they have the make shift arrangement and they try to compare the temperature manually

Been wanting to visit for 7 years and finally made it

Lovely first experience, I will definitely come back x

Just right. Lovely. A bit of India in London.

I come to Dishoom (several branches) all the time. Excellent everything! One of my fave spots in town :) and please try their new breakfast dish - can’t remember the name but it has Poori bread.

Great evening, food was amazing!

Premium Indian food. The restaurant has typical Bombay dishes and the quality of the product as they cook it is great. I recommend it if you are in the area. That's a little expensive though.

Excellent experience. Food was tremendous accompanied with excellent service and cool vibe in London. In good weather, would definitely recommend sitting in the veranda.

Amazing place and great food Can be a long queue but come past 9pm and you’ll find a seat immediately

Dishoom is ok, I got a breakfast wrap, it was just ok, nothing to write home about. The food and atmosphere were both fine nothing out of the ordinary for your standard restaurant. The service was good though, quite attentive, returning to top up drinks and check in, they also had a friendly demeanour and were approachable. If someone recommended returning to Dishoom I wouldn't mind going but I wouldn't personally return myself.

The best restaurant in Shoreditch

incredible free chai, lovely and attentive servers, even offered us our chai to go when we asked for the bill. mango sweets delivered with our cheque. truly great place and at such a reasonable price

Very delicious & very kind and friendly!!!
