The story

Dishoom Shoreditch: Award-Winning Indian Dining in East London

A Warehouse Transformed

Dishoom Shoreditch holds Good Food Guide recognition within a converted warehouse on Boundary Street. Readers describe this East London spot as a slick operation that consistently delivers, often drawing queues past the entrance. The interior channels the spirit of Bombay's classless Irani cafés, a cornerstone of Indian social dining, through whirring ceiling fans, vintage artefacts, and sepia prints resting above marble-topped tables. A glass-fronted verandah extends the dining space for warmer months.

Kitchen and Signature Dishes

Chef Salim guides the kitchen's approach to Anglo-Indian cooking, balancing comfort with precise spice work. Guests frequently order the famous naan rolls to start before moving to small plates like delightfully spiced lamb samosas. Main courses feature mouth-wateringly moist chicken malai alongside slow-cooked biryanis. The rara gosht combines lamb shank and mince vigorously mingled together, served with a paper-thin roomali roti. Ruby Murrays offer a hearty alternative for those seeking substantial fare.

Sweets and Evening Sips

The beverage list includes a bewildering array of sharbats, esoteric beers, and cocktails such as the pink Bollybellini. House Chai remains a staple, paired with nankhatai or jeera biscuits for dipping. Sweet finishes arrive as silky-smooth kulfi on a stick or a melting-in-the-middle chocolate pudding accompanied by Kashmiri chilli ice cream. Evenings conclude with these rich notes after a meal defined by razzmatazz and reliable execution.

The Good Food Guide — Good

'A slick well-oiled machine that never seems to disappoint,’ observed one reader, which may explain the queues that appear outside this converted Shoreditch warehouse. This is East London, so expect flashes of industrial chic and a clamorous buzz to go with Dishoom’s razzmatazz homage to Bombay’s classless Irani cafés. Whirring ceiling fans, vintage artefacts, sepia prints and marble-topped tables create a delightfully idiosyncratic vibe, and there’s also a verandah for alfresco socialising. On offer is a lively all-day menu of Anglo-Indian sustenance that runs from breakfast onwards. Kick-start the day with kejriwal (fried eggs on chilli cheese toast) or one of the famous naan rolls; alternatively, sort out lunch with a couple small plates (perhaps some ‘delightfully spiced’ lamb samosas or chicken and mango salad) or feast on something more substantial. Various tikkas, tandooris and ‘mouth-wateringly moist’ chicken malai share the billing with slow-cooked biryanis, ‘Ruby Murrays’ and the house special – richly spiced rara gosht (lamb shank and lamb mince vigorously mingled together) with a roomali roti. To finish, a ‘silky-smooth’ kulfi on a stick fits the bill admirably, unless you fancy indulging in Dishoom's ‘melting-in-the-middle’ chocolate pudding served with a scoop of Kashmiri chilli ice cream. Drinkers are offered a bewildering array of ‘sharbats’, esoteric beers, wines and cocktails including the pink and pretty Bollybellini.
