Description

Summary: A taste of Bombay in a bite.

Located in the heart of the city, Dishoom is a vibrant homage to Bombay's Irani cafés, offering a lively menu of reimagined Indian street food. From the famous bacon naan rolls to the unique masala fish wrapped in a banana leaf, this bustling eatery captures the essence of old Bombay with its Art Deco trimmings and cinematic references. The restaurant's redesign for its 10th anniversary in 2020 added a fresh twist, celebrating Parsi theatre and Bombay's silent film era. The decor features whirring ceiling fans, sepia photographs, and vintage artifacts, providing an atmospheric backdrop for the cosmopolitan crowd that flocks here. Dishoom's array of dishes, including street-food snacks, grills, and slow-cooked biryanis, is perfectly complemented by an eclectic selection of coolers, esoteric beers, wines, and cocktails with colonial overtones. Whether it's breakfast, lunch, or dinner, Dishoom is a buzzy destination for those seeking a taste of India's culinary diversity in a stylish yet casual setting.
