Dishoom in Manchester

Great food. Great service. Auni was brilliant.

10/10 as always. Black daal and chicken Ruby are must try’s.

Amazing restaurant every time!!

Absolutely superb thank you so much!

Amazing food and outstanding customer service

We had the breakfast here at Dishoom in Manchester. Delicious food in a lovely setting.

Dishoom is legendary now. I first started going to Dishoom in 2016 in London. The quality and taste of their dishes is outstanding. Only criticism I have is they should vary the menu more. I won't take a star away from them for that though because they have a lot of the classics and nowhere does them better......I can now report that Dishoom have added new dishes to the menu and they are on the same level as the rest of the menu, keep up the amzingness Boys and Girls, - 10/10, Ray, Oct 2024

Excellent food, service and atmosphere

Lovely food, and great service. The building is beautiful and the restaurant has a very nice atmosphere. Great place!

As always experience fantastic. Staff are so friendly .

Fantastic food. Great building and interior. Well worth a visit if in city centre. Great restaurant overall. One of my personal favourites 😍

We visited Dishoom Manchester for a family celebration, and while we already knew the food would be great (Dishoom’s reputation speaks for itself), what really stood out was the atmosphere and service. The restaurant had a lively, buzzing vibe, but once seated, it felt surprisingly relaxed and homely. Every staff member we passed greeted us warmly, setting a welcoming tone right from the start. Our server, Chops, was fantastic. She was friendly, patient, and took time to go through the menu, recommending some dishes that turned out to be spot on. My brother asked her to surprise him with a cocktail, and she nailed it with her choice. Since we were there for both mine and my brother’s birthdays, Chops went the extra mile by surprising us with two complimentary desserts: a Terry’s Chocolate Orange Crème Caramel and a Chili Chocolate Fondant with ice cream. Both were amazing, and she even added candles to make it special. Chops really made our evening, checking in on us regularly and adding thoughtful touches throughout. She even escorted my mum to the bathroom, which was really kind, and gave us a Dishoom dice as a keepsake. Overall, the food was excellent, but it was the warm, personal service that made the experience memorable. We’ll definitely be back.

Great food, great ambience, noisy as in India

Very good experience and very delicious food at there highly recommend

Our first time and it was amazing! Amazing food, amazing service, all amazing! We will be back. Thank you

Great food as always!! Amazing service by Rebecca! She was friendly and super attentive! Relaxed atmosphere and great service! Thank you so much!! Will definitely be back!

Monica was accommodating and helpful. She is the best.

Extremely tasty food, very flavourful. And as usual, the service was outstanding! I love coming here. All the team deserve a raise!

My waitress was very friendly and personable.

Delicious food, good atmosphere and very friendly staff

Excellent meal for four to celebrate graduating.

Thanks to all the staff, a truly enjoyable experience. Can't wait to come back

Excellent service and beautiful food as always!

This place is huge inside! The food was lovely as per usual, we didn't book and waited for a table which wasn't too long for a weekend. The smell of the restaurant is lovely and the atmosphere was mysterious and romantic. I always go for their classic black dahl - it's so rich and creamy, goes perfect with rice!

My family and I went todishoom restaurant and it was wonderful visit. In this report I will illustrate my opinion about this restaurant. First, the vibes were phenomenal and we have got great time there and the food was So delicious finally the value was normal. Whereas ,the restaurant was so crowded And we waited there for 2 hours and the service was not too bad in comparison with other restaurants.Overall, the restaurant is worth to visit and definitely this is not the last time to be there.

Old Bombay Vibes all over the restaurant, food is nice, a must dine place when in Manchester, reservation is a must as they have long waiting for walk in customers.

The fact I visited this restaurant twice while on vacation speaks volumes on how amazing this place is. My second visit was at this location, and I had ordered the Bombay Breakfast with a Chocolate Chai, both of which were phenomenal. The akuri was so fluffy and full of flavor. The bacon and sausage were also delicious, though I thought the bacon was a little overcooked, as if chewing on a soft piece of jerkey, which is great if that's how you prefer bacon (not me). The Chocolate Chai was very rich and, as a bonus, you do get botomless refills. Overall, I would very much recommend this place and will see myself visiting again next time I'm on vacation to the U.K.

Food was amazing, I've had a lot of Indian food and this was among the best. Very busy, service was slow at times.

Great food and service as always.

My favourite spot for Brunch. The naan rolls are to die for!

Dishoom in Manchester is part of the popular Dishoom restaurant chain, known for its unique take on Bombay-inspired cuisine. Located in Manchester’s historic Grade II-listed Manchester Hall, Dishoom offers a dining experience that blends nostalgia with contemporary flair, reminiscent of the old Irani cafés of Mumbai. The menu features a mix of Indian comfort food and street food-inspired dishes, such as biryanis, curries, and small plates like the iconic “house black daal” and “pav bhaji.” Breakfast options, including the famous bacon naan roll, are a standout, making it a great spot for both early and late dining. The bar serves creative cocktails with an Indian twist, alongside a range of chai teas and soft drinks. Dishoom’s décor is stylish, with vintage touches and a lively ambiance, reflecting the charm of old Bombay. Known for its warm service and consistent quality, Dishoom has become a favorite for both casual dining and special occasions in Manchester.

I am big fan of Dishoom. This was my first visit to Manchester branch. On this visit, had a few Indian street food snacks and also the famous Nalli Nihari Biryani. It was delicious and definitely recommend for Biryani fanatics. I have visited Shoreditch a number of times in the past, Covent Garden recently in May 2024. Brings back memories of the cafes in Mumbai. Keep up the good work team .Thank you also for accommodating my friend who joined me for dinner, really appreciate it xx

Huge thank you to Rebecca for her incredible service for my cousins celiac allergy. She was so compassionate when explaining the poppadoms were not gluten free, offered many alternatives and despite my cousin deciding against eating anything, Rebecca then brightened her day back up by offering a free drink / hot chocolate. Super service, thank you!

Not just one of the best because of the ratings but one of the best due to its authenticty of covering the indian dining experience. Had the best biryani, vada pau and Pau bhaji in the UK..... I can say better than india too.

Super good food! Amazing impeccable service and staff! Thank you Rudy!

Had an incredible meal and our waiter RUDY was absolutely INCREDIBLE! Amazing customer service 100/10.

5/5 restaurant. I loved every detail there. The food, service and atmosphere were outstanding. Went there again and I’ll go there again and again for sure! Also I liked that they had good veggie options!

We've had the most amazing time at Dishmoom. The service was marvellous and the okra fries were to die for! Will be back for more!

This place is amazing. Rudi was Amazing!!! Amazing is an understatement. Rudi truly made it memorable! Great place, great food, great service!!!

This place is just something else :) it's soooooooo dam good definitely will be going here again, I've already been 5 times in 6 weeks 🤣 The chicken ruby curry and the garlic naans are just fantastic ( I don't think I've ever had a better curry and naan bread Definitely coming back

Brilliant as always. Chocolate chai and bacon naan is the best possible way to start the day

Amazing place to eat. Food was lovely, service excellent, staff all great, atmosphere wonderful! Need I say anymore! We will be back next time we are in Manchester for sure 😀

Wonderful warm welcome, great service with excellent recommendations. Incredible delicious food. Great value for money .

Lovely spot, best indian food in town 100%, service on point, everything spotless overall. The okra fries are a must.

We got great recommendations from our waitress, cocktails were fab and food was delicious - the house chaat was unreal, so good! Definitely want to go back

Can't rate Dishoom enough, the food, atmosphere and the service is impeccable

We went there for lunch. We ordered different kind of food... everything was delicious. Including chai tea. We look forward to come back again.

Authentic food in a lovely setting! The Nihari biryani was excellent, I highly recommend.

Lovely food lovely atmosphere and fantastic service

Excellent choice of Indian food.

Dishoom breakfast has to be one of the loveliest experiences to enjoy on A Sunday morning. They consistently deliver above our expectations, simply FABULOUS.

Dishoom Indian Restaurant serves very delicious dishes, and the items I tried were amazing. In comparison, it is much better than the Edinburgh restaurant (for the negatives I explained in the review of their branch in Edinburgh). The Indian food experience in it is amazing, although the prices may be a little high, but it is worth the quality of food and distinguished service. It is best to book through the website before you come to them.

With a smile, Margo at the front desk kindly made a plan to accommodate us when we arrived a little late and with two last minute guests added to our booking– it was much appreciated, the place was filling up quickly! The menu is broad (oh the choices!!) but the quality is consistently good, every dish a novel and wonderful taste sensation. Monica our waitress was great, knowledgeable & attentive. Dishoom never disappoints. It's got a great vibe, awesome food, and won’t break the bank.

Great food, great atmosphere! Quick service and food was delicious, especially the biryani. Must try when coming to Dishroom!! Probably the best dinner to end our holiday!

Nice Indian Restaurant... Nice food... Tasty and yummy

October 2024 Lucky for us, it wasn't a busy time. We ordered butter chicken for dinner 9/10, biryani rice with meat 9/10, tannoori chicken 8/10. The place is amazing. Prices are high, quantity of food is small. My rating for it is 8/10

It was a very good experience and it’s my favorite Indian food place, Raf & Alejandro were very kind and gave us a good service and recommendations from menu 🤍👍🏻

Dishoom was not what we expected. But I mean that in a good way. It had a very clubby vibe. The music was very house oriented. But it created an energetic mood. It looks vintage but the decor is an homage to earlier times. It is done in a very cool manner. It is a big place. Lots of rooms. We were offered a nice booth. Once seated our server was over to review the menu. It was explained with depth and knowledge. Adam knows his stuff. We settled on malai mushrooms, black daal, chicken biryani and garlic naan. We certified that all were well prepared, nicely presented and very flavourful. Prices struck us as quite reasonable. We give full marks for the vibe, the service, the decor & most importantly the food. I think you will enjoy youself at Dishoom.

One of our favorite Indian food places - love the bhel and biryani

The restaurant is sometimes crowded and you have to make a reservation or wait outside the store The food is delicious and beautiful The price is very expensive The atmosphere inside the restaurant is unnaturally muffled and hot, although the outside atmosphere is bitterly cold

Amazing food, great service, brilliant venue / atmosphere. Really like Dishoom.

Food was great, but the service was what made it an amazing experience. Alejandro was our server, and he was impeccably warm and attentive. We ordered the house daal, which was delicious — very buttery and tomatoey. The monk fish curry was recommended but found the fish a bit too fishy, the naan were cooked to perfection. The highlight got to be the unlimited chai though!

Absolutely stunning food! Fabulous staff and such a hard working team. Seamless evening, gorgeous food and delicious drinks. Loved it and great value for money too.

Great service, food was amazing, make sure you save room for the cocounutty fruit crumble desert, unbelievable stuff

The ambience was wonderful, and the food was absolutely delicious, but the service fell short—seems like the servers could benefit from a little more training in hospitality.

Fabulous food; fantastic friendly staff; brilliant! The gunpowder potatoes are amazing!

I recently visited Dishoom Manchester on my birthday and had an amazing experience! I ordered dishes like Pav Bhaji, Veg Rolls, and Bhel, and the food was incredible—especially the Pav Bhaji, which tasted just like it does in India. The staff surprised me with a complimentary brownie and ice cream for my birthday, making the day even more special. The Indian tea was the perfect finishing touch, so flavorful and authentic. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend visiting Dishoom for great food and a memorable time.

We got starters recommended by the waiter and those were really great. The main was a bit boring compared to the starters, but still tasty. A recommended place to visit if you feel for some curry while in Manchester

Excellent service, great old atmosphere, and the food was, well, I'm not a connoisseur by far, but this is the best Indian I've ever had. It's another fantastic Manchester memory.

This place never disappoints. Really delicious food and great service.

Loved each dish. We had the lamb samosas, chicken Ruby and the Nalli Nhuri Biryani (shareable for 2)! Overall great flavours and would highly recommend.

Delicious food Staff were very friendly I would highly recommend

Another amazing place in Manchester! I have been to Dishoom in London and this locale was equally amazing. Food is top quality, the atmosphere is very cozy and the staff is friendly and very nice. Would recommend!

Incredible experience from the moment we were greeted. Margot our hostess was lovely. Toby the bartender served us excellent drinks while we waited for our table, and Adam our server was a joy and surprised my father with a dessert for his birthday. Room was beautiful Food and drinks were delicious Great music Fantastic service Cheers!!!

The place that takes you to India Dishes of Indian cuisine are very elaborate The place is big It is preferable to book in advance The waiter is very respectful Everything was in the best format

The service was amazing and I’m only sad I didn’t catch her name to give her a special mention but we felt very looked after by her and it really made my other halves birthday. Food was amazing right down the the chilli ice cream. Will definitely be back and thanks again for such an amazing meal :-)

This place is worth a visit. Highly recommend the chefs special nali biryani. Just make sure you pre-book!

HORRIFIC. Went for lunch on a Monday with my mum - both of us with allergies mine is dairy mums is gluten. The meals came with no allergy sticks after advising two different waitresses that we both had allergies. (Baring in mind I have a dairy allergy) was served my meal which I started to eat to then have one of the waiters turn up to the table to tell me ‘word on the street is your meal is actually incorrect and you’ve been served dairy’. Took the meal off me whilst I ran to the toilet to spit out what I could after starting eating. Absolutely disgusting. I do not recommend this restaurant if you want you dietary requirements taking serious because ‘word on the street is’ if you say you have a dairy allergy you’ll then get served cheese!!

Unusual and very tasty Indian food in a spectacular setting. Pakora starter recommended!

Excellent service.The staff took time to explain fully how the menu worked and how much food it was appropriate to order. Basically one item from the left of the menu one main and a side and the food comes when it's ready and everyone shares.The restaurant is beautifully decorated and the food was wonderful.

Nice food. Good atmosphere. You will not be disappointed at all. Staff cordial.

Dishoom Manchester, where breakfast dreams come true! 😍 We popped in for an Indian-style breakfast, and oh boy, our taste buds are still doing the bhangra! 🌶️ From spicy goodness to melt-in-your-mouth deliciousness, it was a flavor explosion in the best possible way. 💥 Now, my partner's gluten-free, and usually that can be a bit of a drama, but not here! The staff were on it like naan on curry – they catered to every need, no fuss, no gluten, just pure yum. 🎉 Seriously, they looked after her like she was royalty – gluten-free, garam masala-loving royalty. 👑 Long story short: If you want breakfast that’ll make your soul sing (and your belly dance), Dishoom's got you covered. 10/10 would have breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner here every day!

We had an amazing Indian breakfast, our waiter Roberto was simply the best. My girlfriend has a gluten tolerance and he was so good at suggesting how her order could be adjusted to make it suitable. Thanks so much.

great first visit to any dishoom service in Manchester was superb the pace of dishes and the flavour were amazing even got myself a matka dice keyring for our next visit.

It was amazing. It was my first time visiting dishoom, and it didn't disappoint me at all. The food, service, ambiance, and everything were super amazing. Would highly recommend going here and would love to visit again. Chai - 5/5 Garlic naan - 5/5 Chicken chilli -4.5/5 Chicken lababdar - 3.5/5 Mango lassi - 3/5 Afghani Chicken- 5/5 Pav bhaji - 4/5 Vada pav - 4/5

Staff super friendly. Food was very tasty. Drinks had more ice than drink and felt it was a good money earner for restaurant, reduce the ice as I paid for a drink. Nice atmosphere. Very big on allergies and very attentive

Great food and service one of the best indian restaurants I ate since a long time!

First time going to the restaurant and it was a really good experience. The service was the best we’ve had in a really long time, thanks to the attentive staff. Food came really fast and we weren’t left waiting for the bill. Food was delicious and we were gifted a complimentary chocolate pudding for our anniversary. Highly recommend!

Unfortunately the food was not up to the standard they always serve. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was charming as usual.

A cozy dark ambiance with real candlelight. The Murg Malai Tikka is delicious, and the Okra Fries with chutney are a standout. Great spot for a memorable dining experience.

Did not disappoint at all, definitely lived up to the hype. Their signature biryani was phenomenal. Chicken ruby was just really good butter chicken but nothing exceptional. Garlic naan pretty mid. Loved the spicy lime sharbat drink don't remember its name, mango lassi was nice too

I loved it....Indian food lovers must visit here....they will never disspoint you....🥂🫶

Real Indian taste....really loved it👍👍

Delicious food, but what a mess! Very impersonal! More than 200 people in 1 room with loud music! Quickly empty your plate and leave. A shame about the delicious dishes. Definitely not worth going there.

Absolutely amazing loved it ❤️ 💖

Service very quick even though it was very busy. Food excellent.

Another great foodie experience at this brilliant Asian eating establishment

Enjoyed the food sharing experience and glad i went online to reserve a table. Quite the queue outside. Was a little late turning up due to weather conditions on a hike in Lake District, knowing this we called up and they told us there's a 15min grace period. Just enough to make it in time and glad we did. Highly recommend.

Lovely food and great service from the Spanish waiter who served us initially. However, when dealing with an issue with drinks the management were absolutely appalling, smirking and not engaging whilst my mum tried to explain a very simple issue. We have been here many times before and felt a lot more rushed than normal too. I think there are better places opening up in Manchester to go to now.

Really great, by far the best food experience we had in Manchester. Alberto was amazing!
