Dishoom

An experience surely. We went there without a reservation as we were on a holiday and looking for a good place to eat. This gem is totally Halal. We had to have a bit of a wait but they entertained us at the bar seating area which was nice and cozy. The staff is brilliant. They are attentive , present, they know the menu and will make recommendations (good ones too) loads of virgin drinks options which was a plus for all of us. They were delicious. Coming to the appetisers tried fried okra. It was bursting with tangy flavour, crunchy and scrumptious. Rest of the feed had authentic Indian flavours which was different from what I was used to. Ambiance was cozy and lulls u into tranquility. For desert chose kheer which even after eating for so many times, was totally enjoyable and a tasty. All in all definitely recommend.

Best place to experience the Indian Persian cuisine in Edinburgh. The food is great. We tried Murgh Malai, Sheekh Kebap and Gunpowder potatoes and Chili Brocoli Salad which we all enjoyed. Sheekh Kebap tastes similar to Turkish kebap and spicy. The Murgh Malai was amazing! We had the puding with spicy hot ice at the end which we loved! The service is good and fast. The atmosphere is great. There is not much noise although they have many tables and the inner decoration is unique. Recommended for a good evening with your beloved ones.

An exceptional dining experience. The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, creating the perfect setting for a relaxed and enjoyable meal. The staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and professional, making us feel truly taken care of. Combined with its perfect location, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

An absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish. I know the restaurant has many branches across the UK, but the Edinburgh branch is on another level. The food was exceptional, rich in authentic flavors, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented. The service was warm, professional, and genuinely welcoming. Every detail reflected quality and passion. Without a doubt one of the best Indian dining experiences I’ve had. Highly recommended, and I will definitely be coming back again❤️❤️

Had dinner at Dishoom with the family day before NYE in Edinburgh, we went to the permit room (bar) while we waited for our table, I have to say the cocktails were amazing, creative and good use of Scottish Gin. I’d 100% go back for the drinks and get some food as apps. After 45 min wait we got our table, we ordered several dishes (pictures below) Pav Bhaji is my favorite dish generally speaking, they advertised it with a twist so I was curious. It tasted fine to me, nothing talk about honestly, we ordered their famous keema Pav, to my surprise the keema was bit dry for me, I was expecting a bit of gravy, however the spices/taste were on point, I’d eat it again!. My favorite was the seek kebab, it was juicy, succulent and tasty. The other favorite was the freshly made rumali roti’s I don’t see a lot of rumali roti in the US, so enjoyed it. Lastly we ordered the ruby chicken which is their take on butter chicken. It was delicious! Service was fantastic, staff was nice to us and helpful, ambience was cool, loved watching the cooking on the first floor I’d go back for the drinks and apps, found it quite over priced for Indian street food
