Moosh Carnaby in City of London, Westminster - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Dishoom is overrated. The food was bland and mediocre. It wasn't bad but not brilliant either. On the spice scale, it caters more for the European palate. Service was chaotic, with our drinks arriving half way through our meal. For the price, it was most definitely underwhelming.

Don’t ever eat Chole Puri, the very worst dish from this restaurant; it’s a completely different type of dish.

worth a visit, the house dal is a must try and the mutton fry was delicious

Lovely food. The chicken is served slightly pink but perfectly cooked and the waitress was very understanding about my pregnant daughter being reluctant to eat it and happily changed her meal

I’ve been here many many times and it’s a place I’d always came back. Whenever I have friend visiting, I’d always bring them here. The breakfast and lunch/dinner are all wonderful. Service is always impeccable. I love that they actually have menu for vegan and those who don’t eat eggs/garlic/onion. I really can’t praise this place enough!

Not worth all the hype at all. The food was ok but hit a wow thing. They call butter chicken something (chicken ruby) & it doesn’t taste butter chicken. Masala zone is way better than dishoom for me . It’s ok to try dishoom . Black dal was uniquely great .

Poor service won’t be back. Food is not that phenomenal.

Very good Indian! Fantastic service

Because of his pleasure, we returned to him two days after each other We had chicken biryani White rice Naan bread Chicken masala Yogurt salad And it's not the fault of the food Samosa is regular

You can't book a table but it is very popular for a good reason. Excellent place to eat

Everything is fine and the food is delicious, but one thing I didn’t like: there were no soft drinks. They said it was over, they should be saving or treating how to eat without a drink, but the experience was excellent and the employee was good, but I didn’t like this thing, to be honest.

Date Visited – 18th August 2024. Rating: Excellent Customer Service, and Quality Food. Atmosphere: The restaurant offers plenty of space and is nicely adorned with photos that reflect their journey. It features different sections to serve customers. There is outdoor seating, but it is mostly weather-dependent. Location: The nearest tube station is Oxford Circus (The station is situated in London's West End in Fare Zone 1. It is served by three underground lines; the Victoria, Bakerloo, and Central lines.), and less than 10 minutes’ walk to Kingly street. The address is - 22 Kingly Street, London, W1B 5QP. Customer Service: Every member of the restaurant staff is dedicated to providing exceptional customer service, right from the front entrance to Cashier and Server. Special mention to Aditi and Juraj, who delivered an exceptional customer service. I have encountered several outstanding examples of this dedication, which I am eager to outline below. 1- Queue Management: When the restaurant reaches its full capacity, including those on the waiting list, a new queuing system will be implemented. Surprisingly, each customers seem more than willing to wait. What really impressed me, though, was the restaurant staff serving complimentary drinks and tea or coffee to those standing in line. Isn’t that wonderful? 2- Order Management: We placed an order for extra Puri, and it didn’t go unnoticed by the attentive staff (Aditi and Juraj – Table No: 50/1) who saw that we were still waiting. The service gentleman and lady came over to express their apologies, which was genuinely commendable. They immediately went to the kitchen to make sure our order was fulfilled quickly, and as a kind gesture, they didn’t charge us for the extra Puri. Their dedication to exceptional customer service over profit is truly admirable. It made us understand why so many people are willing to stand in line for an hour. Food Quality: The food here is absolutely delightful. I tried sweet lassi and it was a standout compared to other places. We also indulged in Paneer Tikka and Chole Puri, both of which were scrumptious. And as a delightful surprise, they treated us to free Ice Cream Candy at the end. Wow, they really know how to keep the surprises coming. Price: We paid £63 for three people, and I believe that's a fantastic price, especially given the Central London location and the food we ordered. I strongly recommend it for anyone wanting a good meal with great customer service. Toilet: Both, men and women toilet are in the basement. Men’s toilet was clean with an adequate supply of tissue rolls. Table Booking – We came in on a hectic Sunday evening. The front staff was very courteous and accommodating. They asked us to go to the Reception, take a buzzer, and wait for our turn. True to their word, we were called in 40 minutes. (Content from Website) - Dishoom is mostly a walk-in café – simply come along and walk-in. However, if you'd like to make a reservation, groups of any size may book during the day. After 6pm, we accept bookings for groups of six or more.

I’ve been to breakfast but it was my first time for lunch at Carnaby. It was busy but we were well catered for. Keyannah led our table who was brilliant. It was my father in law’s birthday … his first time and she made him and us feel really welcome. The food and service was exceptional…it won’t be the last time we go back. Thank you Keyannah for making our day special with birthday dessert and impeccable service.

We were so lucky to get in without the waiting time, heard from so many friends that this is the best Indian place in London and that we really need to try. So glad we did! Everything was good! Even my mom and auntie who weren’t into Indian food enjoyed too! Even their version of coke was interesting! 🤪

Best Indian I’ve had. Prices are great, service is helpful, and location is practical. I recommend “the ruby” dish

First time here, place was too busy and loud to have any meaningful conversation (especially when you’re with only one person opposite you), so I wouldn’t recommend to come here for a date or something more serious! 👀 Other than that, food was delicious, service was friendly and professional! 🥰

Absolutely wonderful! Thank you Freddy for the excellent service. Highly recommend the Salli Boti and cheese naan. The samosas are passable!

Over-rated My order was: 1- Butter chicken 1- Buryani chicken 1- yogurt 1- nan All regular prices are high.

The waiting line was very long Karak and lemonade were served while waiting The staff were helpful and welcoming The food was very spicy, as I did not enjoy my dish due to the intense heat, and the yoghurt and cucumber salad unfortunately contained strong-smelling onions. Yoghurt salad 7/10 Naan bread 10/10 Butter Chicken 9/10 Chicken biryani 8/10

The food menu description is a bit understated, but Gabriele, our server, was a lifesaver. She helped us pick the perfect dish – the Dishoom House Chaat was insane! We also ordered the Chicken ruby. So good, we forgot to take pics.

Dishoom's breakfast is outstanding. Although the wait time for food was longer, it was well worth it—the dishes were delicious. The Kejriwal, Bun Maska, and Chai are absolute must-tries.

By God, a quarter of us are drumming, a very ordinary restaurant. Most of the Indian restaurants in Riyadh are better than this and the place is narrow and crowded, but to be honest, it has a chili chicken dish. This is my imagination, this is actually 10/10, but the butter chicken and biryani are very ordinary and less than normal.

Incredible food to be consumed in a mesmerising atmosphere, highly recommended. Be aware, you are likely going to spend 1h in the queue without the reservation but it is worth it!!

Well oiled Indian machine Everything was delicious and we sampled quite a bit. We made a reservation at the latest time allowable and had a very early dinner in order to avoid the long lines. They moved quick and we had a slight hint of being rushed but not overwhelming for as popular and busy this place is. Cool atmosphere with a large variety. I recommend doing a little homework on the menu before going

The atmosphere is very bad and annoying, and the waiting is long, longer than my life. Other than that, people entered the atmosphere after me to wait, and unfortunately their behavior is bad. I would like to taste the taste. Is it ok or should I take more than its size?

I had dinner here on Monday night with a friend. We ordered the Pau Bhaji, Black Daal, Chicken Ruby, and Garlic Naan. Also got Marine Drive Spritz and CBD Bhang Lassi for drinks. Everything was very tasty and rich flavoured, tasted delicious! The service was friendly but not as attentive. It took a while to flag our server down multiple times. Also I find it crazy how there is no air conditioning in London. It was brutally hot in the hottest day of year. Would come back when it’s less hot.

Good food, waiter was a bit miserable. Family toilet was broken and had a baby changing emergency, 3 of them looked at me to think of a solution.

Delicious food. My kids tried Indian food for the first time and they loved it. The service is great too.

It's true what's worth it Even their chicken is all chicken thighs, they don't have breasts And it's very expensive

Frankly speaking, the evaluation is a lie about the experience of God Save the Grace, but there is nothing like Masala Zone in London

We came with great expectations but were very disappointed by the bland food and rude service. Also, beware that there is no air-conditioning in this restaurant. It was stiflingly hot which only added to the overall poor experience. We will certainly not be returning.

Had a great lunch. Friendly. Food was tasty. Chicken was perfectly tender.

The food at Dishoom is amazing and the service, well, in Maya, they have one of the very best ever. Top class, attentive and professional.

Really good food and nice ambiance! Even at 9.30 on Sunday morning, restaurant got busy! Maska bun and chai was awesome! Parsi omelette had perfect spices and veggies!

Delicious breakfast - thank you to Maya for your wonderful hospitality

Excellent service, Rita attended to us, she advised us very well and was always very kind. All his colleagues were very attentive too.

Excellent food and service (as always!)

As authentic and flavorful as it gets! Fantastic service! Love it!

I prefer the shoreditch location. Unfortunately the food here didn’t sit well for me.

The best Indian food I have eaten so far in london. The best Indian restaurant and the quantities are excellent

The food was so delicious!! I highly recommend this restaurant.

I’ve been to this location three times over a few years and the novelty is starting to wear off a little. This last visit was on a busy Saturday night, we had a reservation so we were seated right away. I don’t mind the noise inside the restaurant at all, I think it adds to the experience. The service, however was disappointing and we had a bill dispute at the end which took a long time to sort out. The food is still very good, but it no longer stands out as unique amongst other upscale, modern Indian restaurants in London. I will probably skip Dishoom on my next London visit.

The food is very delicious, but the plate is not enough for even one person. It is very small. I wish it was bigger. The service was great. Also the music was loud and it was really annoying. But I will repeat the experience again for sure

I tried Indian cuisine for the first time and it was excellent. Especially dessert, chocolate pudding with ice cream.

The food was delicious. We ordered grilled shrimp, chicken biryani, a liter of chicken, somerset vegetables, and a yoghurt salad. All of them are delicious

As always a great service and meal

Very beautiful restaurant, the decoration is elaborate. The menu offers varied dishes for all tastes, allowing you to discover Indian cuisine! The cuisine is refined and delicious

Always a wait, food is okay and not consistent. I prefer the other locations.

The food here is delicious, and the shop is quite spacious. Staff are always busy, so you can expect an excellent services here. The restaurant is always full and advise u to pre-booking before come. Little tip: We arrive 11:30am and enjoy a good value breakfast(order before 11:45am)

A nice Indian restaurant, but it is halal and haram. Ask before ordering.

I would like to thank Shiri so much for such a wonderful experience in Dishoom. She was so kind to us and really made it a memorable experience. We’re still talking about how lovely she was! The food is amazing, I’m a vegetarian and there’s a huge selection of choices. The drinks were also great and it was nice to finish with a dessert cocktail. I would highly recommend coming to the Carnaby Dishoom for the welcoming staff and amazing food.

Great food, kind and fun people. Overall good experience there.

My recent visit to Dishoom Carnaby was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we walked in, the warm ambiance and vibrant decor set the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. We started with the delicious Pau Bhaji and the perfectly spiced Okra Fries. For the main course, Amari suggested the House Black Daal and the Chicken Ruby – both were bursting with flavour and cooked to perfection. However, what truly elevated our evening was the impeccable service provided by Amari. He was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. His knowledge of the menu was impressive, and his recommendations were spot on. To top it all off, Amari's cheerful demeanour and genuine enthusiasm made us feel incredibly welcomed and well taken care of. He truly made our dining experience at Dishoom Carnaby memorable.

We loved it, very good service, excellent treatment and very good food. The only downside, to name a few, is the music is a bit loud.

Great location. We were sat in a conservatory area with roof open which was great with the heat. Service was impeccable. We were never left waiting for anything. Food was perfect. The whole group enjoyed and were impressed with the variety of dishes and flavours. Nothing is oily or overly spicy. One of very few places that serves rumali roti! Jackfruit biryani was also enjoyed by all. I rarely have desserts at Indian restaurants but the chocolate molten dessert with chilli ice cream is a must! We were not rushed at all and were able to eat leisurely, despite it being very busy and with a large queue outside, which was greatly appreciated.

We visited the restaurant at lunchtime without a reservation. We ordered 2 butter chicken + 2 biryani chicken + 4 Pepsi. The price was approximately 500 Saudi riyals, over a hundred pounds. I expect an exaggerated price because the quantity is small and there is no flavor of Indian food in it.

Everything is great staff are very friendly and welcoming and food was 10/10 highly recommend trying it

They just let any riff raff in.

I recently dined at Dishoom, it is known for its high standards, and was thoroughly impressed. From the moment I walked in, the classic and elegant decor caught my eye, and the bustling atmosphere added to the charm. The diverse menu offered a variety of sophisticated dishes, each prepared with fresh ingredients and perfectly balanced flavors. The service was exceptional, with attentive and knowledgeable staff who made excellent recommendations and ensured every need was met. Despite the busy setting, I never felt rushed, and the vibrant yet comfortable ambiance made for a memorable dining experience. Dishoom truly excels in delivering high-quality food, outstanding service, and a welcoming atmosphere, making it an ideal choice for both casual meals and special occasions.

Dishoom Carnaby offers an exceptional dining experience with its vibrant ambiance and delicious Indian cuisine. The menu features a variety of flavorful dishes that are well-prepared and beautifully presented. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring a memorable visit. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a great meal in a lively setting!

I’m a big fans of Indian food around the world,This is the best Indian restaurant.

My family and i ate her on a whim and it ended up being the most delicious indian food we have ever had! The service was so good and everyone was incredibly kind. So flavorful and impressive. You can taste the love.

Mutton pepper fry and garlic bread is the winner combo. Must try spot in Carnaby. A bit spicy but mouthful of deliciousness💯

Always good and always friendly service. The chaat is the best dish!

A really great meal. For my daughter's birthday. Thank you

A great Indian restaurant! Reservations strongly recommended in groups, and despite this, there is a wait. Magnificent menu of typical dishes (be sure to explain what is spicy or not) Or “all inclusive” discovery menu Very good quantities, but above all it was very good, for a fair price for London. Experience to live!

Very big place with a lot of noise. The service and staff are great. We tried Okra fries, house chaat, chicken ruby. We liked the food. Just a notice about the chicken ruby is not grilled and not only chicken breast like chicken tikka. Personally I would like it grilled first and be a breast. Photos tell about the food. They allow kids. The food is medium spicy. I will try other options next time.

welcome . The place has nice food. The location is beautiful. To be honest, I recommend it to anyone visiting London to have lunch or dinner.. Cons: It is very crowded. Book before you come, or if you come and it is crowded, you will wait an hour.

Indian restaurant. Whatever you order, it's delicious. You can enjoy the authentic taste that you can't get in Japan. By the way, dishoom is an onomatopoeic word often used in Indian languages ​​to describe sounds such as punches and gunshots. It is similar to the Japanese words ``pan!'' and ``dokan!''.

What I liked: that it was open on a weekday until 23:00, we could get a seat without reservation and waiting, and few dishes were quite creative like the okra fries. What I disliked: the portion size.

7/25/24: I think Dishoom is good but very overrated considering all the other fantastic Indian food London has. We ordered the okra fries (the best dish we had), salli boti (lamb curry but not very flavorful compared to authentic curry and adding the chips on top is a very non Indian and I think unnecessary choice), chicken ruby (like a chicken Tikka masala without or with less cream, and doesn't taste as good), cheese naan (naan that's been stuffed with lots of cheddar, nothing special and cheddar makes it very un Indian), chocolate chai (tasted slightly chai but more just like hot chocolate), and mawa cake (very good but I couldn't tell what was Indian about it). I'd recommend restaurants in Whitechapel instead like Tayyabs or Lehore Kebab House if you want the more authentic Indian/Pakistani (order the grilled meats and the karahi curries; I'm Indian but I think Pakistani food is actually better because it's more flavorful). The decor and area isn't as nice as Dishoom but the food will definitely be better.

Tasty food just like home cooked. Although the dishes and cups are from the 80's and so cheap, the restaurant is expensive weird!

Absolutely amazing! SOHO location ♡

Such a great food experience, everything is fabulous!!

I found the food here underwhelming. On our 4 day trip to London, we tried getting into Dishoom on 2 different days but the length of the queue made us give up. On the third day, we booked a table in advance and went for lunch instead of dinner. On entry they gave us a device that told us when our table was ready. We ordered Samosa, chicken roll, and biryani. Samosa was below par, chicken roll was ordinary and the biryani was decent. For all the hype that I had heard about this place, I felt the food was not worth it. The atmosphere and the staff here was excellent.

The specific atmosphere of the former British colonies with music, excellent food and the right atmosphere. I highly recommend

Very slow service, It took us more than 30 minutes to be seated and more than 15 minutes to be served. After that when we asked for the bill, the waitress gave us other table ‘s bill.

We really enjoyed this place. We tried chicken biryani and the chicken ruby. Both were good. Naan was also good. Service was great. Nice location. I would definitely recommend this place.

Holy Moly! This is the best Indian cuisine I have ever had. The service was great, the drinks were phenomenal and over all it was a wonderful experience

Over priced for the quality of food.

Went there for Sunday brunch, had a fantastic time meeting up with friends. Sushant, who served us was very cordial and went out of his was to get us drinks n desserts although these were in the lunch menu. Delicious food with fantastic atmosphere to match. Recommend and will come back another time ☺️

Delicious restaurant.. We tried dinner for two people.. Masala.. Chicken biryani.. Vegetable samosa.. Cheese bread.. Naan bread.

Waow waow Best Indian restaurant in town !! Despite the pseudo-long queue, table management is highly organized with a beeper. I do highly recommend : fried okra, House Chaat, Black daal and especially Carnaby restaurant special dish "Sali Boti" with lentil, finished Chilli ice cream & Mawa cake. On top of high quality meal, the 5* service provided by Tom is outstanding. Best recommendations, clear and honest explanations...Thanks a lot Tom for all efforts you have done to make our dinner highly enjoyable there. Will sure come back

Great lunch menu for bigger business lunch as don't have to worry about menu selections and nice variety of dishes that all went down well. Also not too expensive.

Dishoom is undoubtedly the most popuar indian restaurant in London and for good reasons the food is great and the service is nice, attentive and friendly. However, I an unhappy with the long queues and waiting times, particularly the queue management. They gave you a pager that rings when your table is ready. However, you cannot leave the restaurant premises as the pager won't work. This is quite frustrating as the waiting time is 30-40 minutes on weekends or popular times. The restaurant *really* wants to keep people waiting outside to create that feeling of exclusivity. This shows they have no care about customer at all. I am sure that if you let customers get a walk and tell them 15 minutes before to come back it won't make a difference.

Just PERFECT ! I enjoyed every single bite...

lack of amex support. annoying when there a offer.

Staple food. You know what to expect at Dishoom. They are funky, consistent, tasty.

Amazing food and service. Massimo our server was brilliant and friendly. Food out of this would. Chilli chicken amazing black daal amazing and spicy lamb chops mourish. Keep it up! Also don't forget to try the keema pav.

Yummy is one of London's favorite restaurants for Indian food Yummy is one of London's favorite restaurants for Indian food

I stayed with my 12 year old son from Dishoom Carnaby. In addition to being pampered in everything, we ate very well. Special thanks go to Nello who was extraordinary both in his welcome and in illustrating the history and characteristics of each dish. In 5 days of sightseeing in London we went to Dishoom twice because thanks to Nello we felt confident in what we ordered. I advise everyone to ask for Nello when you go to Dishoom Carnaby.......

Delicious biryani But it's too hot. I'm sweating steadily

You can hardly ever go wrong with Dishoom! Lovely decor, amazing staff, quality food, and fair pricing. You’ve got to wait, but they normally bring out chai while you wait which is a nice touch

A famous Indian restaurant in Britain His reviews attracted me. I tried it. I waited an hour and a half and it was my turn. He had a reservation, but I didn't book it. The food is delicious, but it is not delicious, it is sharp, the amount of food is small, and the price is very high

Exceptional and outstanding food, service was also excellent, the employee Yuri was so generous, kind and friendly. Best Indian food in London.

Amazing food and amazing friendly staff

Great experience! The food was amazing, the ambience was great, good music and very nice room design. The service was perfect.

Excellent food and good management considering that there were a lot of people. Reasonable prices for London

I had an amazing dining experience at dishoom thanks to our waitress, Joanna . She was attentive, friendly, and made excellent recommendations. Her exceptional service made our meal truly enjoyable. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!

Great treatment from the staff. We went without a reservation and the wait was approximately 20 minutes during busy times. The food is delicious, especially the chicken biryani. I strongly recommend it
