    The waiter is so cute that they brought a dice for you to roll When you get your check, and if u get the number 6 the meal is on them! Chicken curry , chicken tikka with black daal is so yummy.

    Don't worry if you are in an hour long queue for this place. That's a usual peaktime wait for dinner. The staff are nice & will hand out free chai tea & spicy crackers, or put heaters on in the winter

    An Indian restaurant that you would exclaim "OMG this is so damn good!" Must order garlic naan pairs with black daal, murgh malai, briyani & chai, to end with pistachio ice cream. So satisfying!

    Avoid coming at rush hour, waited 45 m. When they finally sat us we noticed many free tables, felt a bit like a scheme to get people to drink at the bar. Calamari, lamd biryani, black dahl are a must!

    Took us so long to get a table, I recommend you book first.

    No bookings so you'll probably have to queue, as it's really popular. Worth it for the lamb chops, that are truly excellent. The birianis are also fantastic. Don't miss the Eton mess dessert.

    Been here for breakfast. Perfect masla chai. Egg nan rolls were nice but it had sweet sauce which I didn't like (order with out it). Keema per eedu & kejriwal are recommended. New experience 8.5/10

    The naans are incredible for breakfast. You can’t book for dinner, so be prepared to wait in a long line and get there early! Consistently excellent food, plus free chai refills at breakfast ☕️🤗

    Maybe in another life I was Indian that’s why I adore so much Indian food. Awadhi Lamb, Garlic Naan, Sheekh kebab and chicken tikka. OMG this naan. I could eat 1kg of it. yiam yiam yiam naan

    Pretty much everything on the menu is tasty - the dhal, chicken tikka, lamb chops...just get it all. Queue can seem long but the food is worth the wait.

    Dishoom never disappoints. Probably my favourite of their London venues. So flavourful and the customer service is astonishingly good

    Somehow lives up to the incredible hype. great ambience, amazing food and reasonably priced. I loved the biryani, raita, garlic naan, chicken ruby. And you *must* get a cup of chai.

    Black House Daal and the Pau Bhaji were extra special. The Chicken Ruby was tender and had a nice umami to it. The Dishoom Chocolate pudding with chili ice cream was a perfect ending.

    It's almost silly how great this food is, especially for the price. The lamb kebabs and chicken tikka are both fantastic, and go great with the house IPA. Service is great too

    You must consider desserts and Chi at the end. Original options like in india, i loved the Pineapple. Chi would worm you up on cold nights ⛄️

    solid vegetarian & vegan options, just tell your waiter your dietary requirements and they'll bring you a special menu. also: expect a long queue, by thats just a part of life

    This place is the best. Protip here is to pretend there is an omakase option and leave yourself at the mercy of the chef - you want to try as much as possible. Also drink the gimlet.

    The black daal and lamb samosas are a treat for the foodies! Okra chips, mattar paneer were great as well. House chai is the perfect spice blend. Overall great experience! Highly recommend

    VERY good breakfast. First customer of the day today but the restaurant wasn't ready to serve till 9am. They offered a very nice gesture, and service was excellent! Will return! Thank you.

    It seems cliche to recommend, but Dishoom's chicken Tikka is SO good. They don't use yogurt but vinegar, resulting in a deliciously charred savory chicken that is a sumptuous treat with every bite.

    The food was really good (ruby and daal). The stuff is extremely friendly (offering teas and chai latte while waiting and even taking 2 of our small plates off the bill for waiting slightly longer!)

    A modern take on indian food- every thing is pretty good. The rose eton mess is the best way to round up the meal!

    Everything about this restaurant is worth the wait, but grab 5 other friends so you can make a reservation and skip the line. A group of 6 should also order the entire menu.

    Just lovely. When queuing free chai and drinks were served outside. Recommend: chef's special with prawns, daal, chicken ruby curry and lamb biryani. Enjoy deliciousness! :)

    If you are like me, you'll love the Egg Naan roll! 2 eggs, naan bread, cream cheese and tomato jam. Equally filling for weekday breakfast or weekend brunch. Great coffee and house chai...

    Loved the okra fries, and could visit only for it . Pav bhaji was good and dal makhani just as it should be, not too spicy, bit too mild. Great ambience and buzz around. Makes it to my favorites list.

    Great Indian restaurant but be ready to wait in line for more than 45 minutes. Covent Garden chef's special, cheese naan, okra fries and chicken ruby are really delicious.

    Make reservations online so that you don't have to wait long. But if you wait, they give you their signature masala chai! I had lunch by myself and ordered yummy lambsamosas and succulent lamb chops

    Probably the best Indian restaurant in London! But you have to queue as it is not possible to make a reservation. The food is so tasty! And relatively cheap.

    Great value & the small plates make it easier to try more items, service was great, the best thing about it is that they strive to give an actual taste of India (they even bring India's local soda).

    Go before 6 to avoid the wait. The one hour wait is not worth it. But no wait is worth it. Very friendly staff. Check out toilet decor it's pretty cool. Lamb dish stew is my suggestion

    London has the best Indian food (save for maybe India!) Lots of authentic family-owned places, but this is a little more refined and "foodie." Worth a try!

    One of the best Indian food I have tasted. Had to wait an hour in the line before we could go in, but the food was worth the wait! Pav Bhaji, chicken tikka, black daal - all were fabulous!

    Our personal fave is the Dishoom grilled lobster tail cooked with ginger, chilli, lime and coriander. And everything washed down with a passion fruit Diwali Bellini or traditional Lassi. Read more

    Awesome Indian fare! Wait at the bar, have a Bombay Colada, then get some garlic naan and chicken ruby. The chocolate pudding (super rich) and Kashmiri chili ice cream was also delish.

    Lovely food! Had a wait of 35 minutes, but the friendly staff kept us entertained. The wait outside was chilly indeed, but the hot chai kept us warm. Okra fry, chicken n lamb biriyani was great

    Try the Spicy lamp chops with the House Black Daal! From the starters choose the Vada Pau. And don't forget to get a cocktail to "refresh" your taste. Great personnel, very nice environment.
