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.

Absolutely Outstanding Experience at Dishoom Edinburgh! From start to finish, everything about my visit to Dishoom was exceptional. The food was spectacular — every dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The chili chicken had the perfect balance of spice and tenderness, and the chickpea dish with a sweet potato purée was absolutely to die for. The roti bread was soft and delicious, perfect for scooping up all that goodness. The margarita with the Indian spice rim was a fun and flavorful twist — absolutely delish! And to top off an incredible meal, I treated myself to a chocolate alcoholic chai that was simply amazing — rich, comforting, and unforgettable. The service was top-notch from the moment I walked in. A special shoutout to Becky, who was truly incredible — kind, professional, and so knowledgeable. She took the time to help me choose the best dishes and made the whole experience feel personal and special. If you’re in Edinburgh, Dishoom is an absolute must. Every bite and sip was perfection, and the atmosphere and service made it even better. I can’t wait to go back! PS- reservations are a must.

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❤️❤️

Having tried Dishoom before in London, I already knew what to expect… and once again, it didn’t disappoint. The food was bursting with rich, authentic Indian flavours and perfectly balanced spices that make every bite memorable. The atmosphere in the Edinburgh branch is warm and inviting, with that signature Dishoom charm. It’s definitely on the pricey side, but honestly, the quality and taste make it worth it. Note that you need to have reservations to get in.

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
