They’re also throwing in some refreshing drinks recipes for the full dining experience. Yes, they’ve launched their very own cookbook. It promises “recipes for almost everything on our menu”, meaning bacon naan rolls, okra fries, black daal, and vegan dishes like jackfruit biryani will soon be coming to a kitchen near you. Photo: Dishoom are dishing the dirt on their secret recipes. If it helps, The East India Gimlet comes strongly recommended, and the Chillitini is a personal favourite of mine. The drinks menu is so massive that you might want to start browsing before you arrive – it took my dad and I an embarrassingly long time to decide on just “two beers please.” But there’s a hefty list of cocktails, wines and lassis to cast your eyes over, so it’s a good idea to at least narrow down your preferences. Photo: have separate menus for vegans and those avoiding dairy or gluten – and there’ll even arrange a legitimate feast for tables of ten or more. The Gunpowder Potatoes are a winning side order too, if you’re looking for something other than rice. Highlights for me include the House Black Daal, the Mattar Paneer, the Chole Puri (a chickpea curry served with puffy bread) and the Spicy Lamb Chops. The dishes are designed to share, and staff recommend getting a couple of dishes per person. Photo: it’s lunch or dinner you’re after, Dishoom has it all. Photo: opt for the Full, erm, Indian. The Big Bombay Breakfast includes akuri (spicy scrambled eggs), char-striped smoked streaky bacon, peppery Shropshire pork bangers, masala baked beans, grilled tomato and mushroom, and buttered pau buns. Match it with a lassi or a breakfast cocktail and you’ll be set for the day. In fact, I’d go as far as saying you can’t call yourself a Londoner until you’ve tried one. It laughs in the face of the British bacon buttie. Special shout out to the Bacon Naan – a light, puffy naan bread surrounded by layers of crispy sugar-cured bacon, melted cream cheese, coriander and chilli tomato jam. I’ve raved about it a few times – in fact, it features in our list of London breakfasts you must try before you die – and, trust me, there’s a reason for it.

#LONDON DISHOOM PLUS#
With five r estaurants across London, plus branches in Edinburgh, Manchester, and Birmingham, Dishoom is one of the most talked about restaurants in the city. Same with any hospitality job the rota ain't helping in the work/life balance of things.It’s pretty likely that you’ve heard about Dishoom before now. On the negatives are the long shifts and double shifts, although I had explained due to personal circumstances that these kind of shifts ain't really something I am willing to do and was initially accepted I ended up having double shifts one after the other. The amount of people working on the venue is crazy so it can feel a bit much for a new comer.

You also get free coffees and food on your shift and the chef often also share during the shift snacks etc especially if you are in the food running section. There are chances of progression and you also get further training if you ask for it, which is good for those that wanna grow within the company.Īdditionally the company every two weeks almost has a team outing were for a few hours the drinks/activities are paid which can help if you wanna make mates etc. The pay per hour with the service charge is higher than most of companies offer, but the place is always super busy and you don't really get a moment for yourself for most of the time except of your break so it really is one of the busiest places to be at. The amount of stairs if you are on bar support or a food runner are insane and it is a daily workout. Manchester My experience at the Manchester branch was positive, although it wasn't for me.
