Find Dishoom in Edinburgh’s busy city centre. This Indian restaurant in Edinburgh is minutes away from most of the city’s attractions, such as Edinburgh Castle and the National Galleries of Scotland. Dishoom is mostly a walk-in café and all are welcome, any time, no reservations needed. At Dishoom you will be able to sample some Indian cuisine throughout the day. Begin with a breakfast, which might be a Bacon Naan Roll, a Kejriwal or a Big Bombay. Then lunch lightly on Roomali Rolls and Salad Plates, or linger with a feast. Refresh your afternoon with a drop of Chai and a small plate or two. Dine early or dine late. Or just join us for a tipple – perhaps an India Gimlet, a Permit Room Old-fashioned, or our very good Dishoom IPA?

You don’t need to book ahead of time but if you’d like to make a reservation, they hold a handful of tables back for groups of all sizes every day until 5.45pm. After 6pm, a small number of tables are available to be reserved by parties of six or more, at specific times.

We’ve been waiting to come to this renowned restaurant for years. There was a short wait today. The 30 minutes they told us ended up about 10. Everyone was charming, knowledgeable and excellent in every respect. I especially appreciated the allergen menu together with a confirmation from the back of the house that there were no allergen issues with our meal. An exceptional experience all around.

It's a bit overpriced, but really tasty and worth trying. The staff are extremely polite and friendly. Food quality is top notch and the atmosphere is inviting and homey. The tables are a bit close to each other but it didn't really bother us. We got lucky as we didn't have to wait with no reservation, but it can get really crowded and if you have no reservation, you might have to wait in a queue.

Absolute great dining experience and was worth the wait. Get there either early or late to avoid the long wait line. If you do have to wait in line they are incredibly courteous and offer complimentary tea or juice. Highly recommend the black dal it is a 10/10 and the lamb samosa really simple dishes packed with a ton of flavor! Another cool highlight is for every meal you order they donate a meal for a meal! Super glad we went and great way to end our trip in Edinburgh!

Super busy but nice staff. You wait at the bar until you get a table. The bar is way too dark and crowded unfortunately. The food was really good though which more than made up for it. Also, the service was really good. Our waiter really explained the menu to us well.

All Dishoom r busy🤣 The Good thing here is we could wait at the bar with drinks before the table was ready. Large portions, you can order less than the staff recommended. Friendly vibes with small and large groups around. No limited time dining, there is room to chit chat with friends after meals if u don’t mind it’s busy around. Three levels in this restaurant with lift and stairs. Toilets r two floors far from dining area.
