Did you know

Dishoom Shoreditch opened in October 2012 after the founding team made research trips to Mumbai to visit the last surviving Irani cafes, a style of venue that numbered over 400 across the city in the 1960s but has dwindled to around 30 today.

Local tip

Expect a queue at peak brunch and dinner times since large tables aren't bookable, arrive early or add your name to the waitlist through the Dishoom app.
