Dishoom

I had the fried calamari, delicious twist on the classic dish. Also had the keema frankie which was nice. Mango lassi was good too. Decor is good. But you will leave smelling like food!

I work in London regularly and have been to Dishoom on a number of occasions. Both with work colleagues and friends. They bill themselves as a "bombay cafe" and the restaurant is very stylish inside. A mixture of tables and cushioned coves. It's always packed (sign of a good restaurant) and has a really buzzing feel to it. The great thing that I have found of this place is that the menu is small, but everything they do, they do well. I am HUGE fan of the Keema Pau, you need to try it, it's fab. The chicken tikka and seekh kebab's are also great. Try the skate cheeks (little fish bits battered and fried). As it's always busy there might be a wait if you turn up (i think you can book for larger parties), but they have a bar area downstairs where you can get a diet coke while you wait. Service is really good and some of the items come very quickly. It is a bit more on the pricey side, but thats understandable given location.
