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.

What an amazing place. Extremely busy and we visited on a Monday night. We booked as we were a group of six and I am glad I did as the wait was 90mins or more. It's clear why this place is busy, the food is fantastic and the service is good. We ordered mains with rice and naan, along with small plates and shared amongst us.

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.

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.

We been to their London Kensington location. Waited there almost 2 hour and here we came at lunch time and there was no wait time. Thank god. We tried samosas and chicken dish. Garlic naan. Everything was nice and tasty. But only if there is no wait time.
