  “First Dishoom experience and love the Canary Wharf Vibe (area and restaurant) We preplanned our menu as we drove here so was ready to go - six of us for a Birthday! Couldn’t reserve as it was after 6pm Was told 45mins as it was full but not much of a queue but the buzzer went off before 20mins which is always good Welcomed by Abhi with a smile and relaxing attentive approach and presented him with our order as he an food came promptly Now the Food: Love it! Loved it all! Chicken Ruby Okra fries Lamb Biriyani … now I’m just listing all we had lol My personal favourite: I loved the deep flavour of the Mutton Pepper fry! The chocolate chilli - blew me away with the first bite - it was smooth - almost bitter, sweet Amazing We can’t handle chilli heat well in general but the food here is just right! Can wait to comeback to try more from the menu and hopefully get service from Abhi who was excellent serving us!”

  “Really enjoyed my visit! The food and drinks were excellent, and the atmosphere was busy and lively. The location is also fantastic and makes it a great spot to meet a friend or colleague for a meal and drinks. Callum’s (bartender) recommendations were spot on — everything he recommended was delicious. The staff were friendly, welcoming and attentive throughout, which made the whole experience even better. Would definitely recommend and come back!”

  “I think if I went with more people I would obviously have enjoyed the meal more. As a solo diner most of the time when I like to review, it gives me better insight and judgement when I get to eat by myself. That being said, dishoom has been on my list for a long time and I think going again another time would give it more justice when I get to try more from its large menu. That being said, I will obviously give an honest review for my first time. I was honestly panicking when my server helped me order poppadoms (I probably should’ve ordered naan too but I didn’t wna overeat and overspend). But the mango chutney which is not in the photo was a very big surprise. Very refreshing flavours with some spice and a good amount of mango fruity flavour to it. Another pleasant yet panicky order was the aubergine chutney. 3.90 for that was an unbelievable bargain coz it was very necessary with my rice and had great flavours, chunks of aubergine and an almost tomatoey flavour sweet and sour yet a lil spicy. For the price, a perfect pairing. Also the rice for the price was a very good portion size and I could tell was meant to share almost. To me the lamb chops were ok. Very meaty, a little tender, the char added a slight depth of flavour but wasn’t that deep and the chilli sauce helped with adding some extra depth and sourness to cut the meatiness. I just had hoped the spices in the lamb came through more. I think when I go again, I would rather a curry or have this with a the daal which I also didn’t get to try today due to my limitations.”

  “was invited by my colleague there as it is very close to my house. That was very convenient for me.I am familiar with Indiraj dishes but not that much. They are very famous usually with mixture of spices and herbs.Therfore,I am always very careful to choose which of the foods is suitable for me.. In here,They were very professional and very well standardised.It was obvious that they are part of the big group or chain here.Ambiance was very shining and luxurious,service was ok ,taste was really good.The only thing I can say is it is little pricey.Thats all. Overall,I can recommend this.”

  “This was my first visit to Dishoom, and it certainly lived up to the hype to some extent. We ordered several dishes, but three of them really stood out. The Chicken Berry Britannia Biryani was the clear winner. It was incredibly flavourful, and the sweet bursts from the berries elevated the biryani to another level. I would definitely recommend ordering it. While I felt the chicken itself could have been a little more richly spiced, the biryani as a whole more than made up for it. The Chilli Cheese Toast was another highlight. It’s amazing how such a simple dish can deliver such bold, satisfying flavours. It’s an absolute must-order and something I’d recommend for every table. The restaurant’s signature Salli Boti Lamb left me with mixed feelings. The curry was delicious, and the crispy potato salli added a wonderful texture and flavour. The lamb itself was exceptionally tender, but I felt it hadn’t absorbed enough of the curry’s spices. As a result, it tasted more like plain lamb served with a flavourful curry rather than the spices being infused into the meat. Overall, these were the three dishes that stood out most from everything we ordered. The atmosphere and service were absolutely top-notch. The staff were attentive, the ambience was warm and inviting, and I had a wonderful dining experience. I’d happily return to try more of the menu.”

  “Visited Dishoom Canary Wharf and the place was so nice, pleasant and full of energy. It’s lively and buzzy, but in a good way — the old-Bombay vibe, music, and chatter just made it feel warm and welcoming. The food was incredible — everything I tried was fresh, full of flavor, and the chai was perfect. Service was friendly and attentive even though they were busy. At the end they gave me a candy called Mango Bite, and that little touch made my day. Those candies remind me of my childhood days, so it felt really nostalgic. The space itself is beautiful with big windows looking out to the water. I was happy the whole evening. Definitely a place I’ll visit again and again.”

  “Dishoom has been on my London restaurant list for a long time, and after finally trying it, I can understand why it’s popular — but personally, I think it’s a little overrated. 🏠 Atmosphere & Ambience This is probably one of Dishoom’s strongest points. The restaurant is beautifully designed with a nostalgic, Bombay-inspired interior, creating a warm, lively atmosphere. Service was professional and efficient, and the overall dining experience felt polished. 🍛 Food Quality & Taste The food was good, but not particularly memorable for us. Most dishes were well-executed and nicely seasoned, but nothing really stood out compared to other Indian restaurants I’ve tried. Everything tasted solid and enjoyable, just not exceptional. 📖 Menu Variety The menu offers a wide selection of curries, grills, small plates, and vegetarian options, making it easy for groups with different preferences. There’s definitely something for everyone, and I can see why it’s appealing to both locals and tourists. 💰 Value for Money This is where I felt slightly disappointed. While the food is good, the prices are on the higher side for what is essentially quite standard Indian cuisine. The overall experience is pleasant, but I’m not convinced the food quality fully justifies the popularity or price point. 📌 Overall Dishoom delivers a great atmosphere, reliable food, and a well-curated menu. However, based on taste alone, I found it more “good” than “amazing.” Worth trying at least once for the experience, but personally, I wouldn’t consider it one of London’s best Indian restaurants. Good food, great branding and ambience — but a little overrated for my taste.”

  “First time at Dishoom Canary Wharf and we had an amazing experience. The food and service were exceptional from start to finish. Ella, Hussein, and Anni took such great care of us and made us feel genuinely welcome. Hussein was especially attentive and went above and beyond to make the evening feel special. While chatting with our server, they asked if we were celebrating anything and we mentioned our anniversary. They surprised us with a complimentary dessert, which was such a thoughtful and lovely gesture. Beautiful atmosphere, incredible food, and truly outstanding hospitality. We’ll definitely be coming back.”

  “I honestly think this is the best Indian restaurant in London. We visited the Canary Wharf location and ordered several dishes to share, which is definitely the best way to experience their menu. We tried the prawns, chicken, lamb, and a salad, all accompanied by their classic garlic naan, which was absolutely perfect. To wrap up a fantastic meal, we finished with the mango and ice cream dessert. Everything was spectacular: the flavors are authentic, the quality of the ingredients shines through, and the atmosphere is vibrant yet cozy.”

  “Our party of seven recently dined at Dishoom and, overall, we had a thoroughly enjoyable evening. The restaurant’s beautifully executed 1970s-inspired aesthetic created a wonderfully atmospheric setting, full of character and charm. The food itself was excellent — vibrant, flavourful, and clearly prepared with great care. Equally noteworthy was the service: the staff were consistently courteous, attentive, and genuinely warm throughout the evening, which added greatly to the experience. That said, we did feel the pricing was somewhat ambitious for what is ultimately a bistro-style dining concept rather than a fine dining establishment. In particular, the starters felt disproportionately expensive relative to the portions offered. We also found the service charge rather steep. While we appreciate that it is discretionary, there is often an unspoken social pressure to accept it without question, as many diners may feel uncomfortable requesting its removal. Personally, we are always very happy to reward exceptional service generously and prefer to leave a tip in cash when hospitality genuinely goes above and beyond. Nevertheless, the excellent food, inviting ambience, and gracious service ensured it was a memorable and enjoyable occasion.”
