Dishoom what a spectacular must visit venue. We ran out of time to venture to this highly recommended spot in London so jumped on the opportunity to try it in Scotland and it did not disappoint. With a wildly impressive interior spread over several levels including a stunning downstairs bar and delicious food including such flavoursome chicken tikka that we ordered several there’s really nothing that you won’t love about this place (other than perhaps the waiter kind of tricking you into an non obligatory tip) and I would thoroughly recommend

While on vacations to Edinburgh, last day we had our dinner a dishoom most popular Indian restaurant serving limited options for vegetarians...
I tried
Jackfruit biryani..it was good the potatoes in it made it more flavorful.
Matar paneer and garlic naan.
I have been earlier at London restaurant which a little better than this one in tastes.
We order 3 kind of naan, lamb and chicken rice,grill prawn, lamp curry, and everything taste amazing, green sauce was special, mango lassi superb, we are all falling in love, must come again next tomorrow
It’s a great place to have some Indian cuisine at this Irani Bombay Restaurant.
Recommend dishes are house black dal and naan. Also, do try the tea. It’s authentic Indian.
Its a really great place to grab the most amazing black daal in the whole Edinburgh, the food is really great, the service is quite fast and the staff is super friendly and polite. Definitely a recommendation if searching for some great indian cuisine.
Had heard about this place and got to eat at my recent trip to Edinburgh.The menu is typical bombay street food style and the drinks options are really interesting.The kala khatta was too good.tried their pav bhaji,puri chole and matar paneer along with roomali roti and naan.The food lived upto its expectations.Seems a bit over priced compared to other Indian restaurants in the area but the quality of food and service makes up for it.
Bank holiday monday, I was expecting this place to be jam packed and was surprised to see empty tables! Food across all dishooms have the same standard and I was not disappointed.
This place is more than a home away from home. It redefines the experience of falling in love. The place has a persona which is already alive and vibrant, the food makes it swing and dance. Here is a team that goes an extra mile to make you feel absolutely at peace and loved. I don't think even the best of bars can come anywhere close to the kind of energy this place has and the warmth the people here offer. This is my experience here as a vegetarian. I'm sure non-vegetarians would want to set up camps here and live here for eternity 😀.. Bhai, India mein kabhi aisi jagah nahi dekhi. More love to the place, it's people and the amazing food.
Kal dosto Dishoom edinburgh gaya vha jaake maja agaya unka restaurant dekh k me dishoom ho gyaa pauji bhaji or samose ne swaad baandh dia h dishoom chicken tikka or sheekh kabab khaane me bahut swadisht the dil garden garden ho gya
Located very close to the Edinburgh Waverley station.
One gets the feel of being in a typical Parsi restaurant as soon as entering the restaurant and has a cellar seating too; stairs to the cellar has portraits explaining the Parsi culture and it's growth in India.
Has an open kitchen and outdoor seating.
The staff is very polite and felt so happy interacting with them(shame that I don't remember his name).
Food is very delicious and we get to experience the taste of India here but I felt the quantity should be increased a bit.
Recommend their Veg Jackfruit Biryani.
A busy bustling restaurant that's full of atmosphere and character. Dishoom brings what feels like an authentic Bombay dining experience straight to the heart of Edinburgh.
There are so many diners enjoying themselves and having a good time that there's never a quiet moment. It really adds to the experience dining there.
As you would expect with a city centre venue like this the food is fantastic. From the fragrant spiced curries to the wonderfully subtle flavours of the desserts. Everything is fabulous.
This place is a must for anyone who knows proper curries and for others who want to try something new for a change. You definitely wouldn't be disappointed. There's something for everyone. Once finished, you can even buy the Dishoom cookbook to try your hand at some of these dishes.
After many recommendations, we finally got to eat in Dishoom. It was so worth the wait. Absolutely incredible food, loads of different flavours, all levels of spice, great breads. Server was so helpful explaining different dishes. And a great busy atmosphere. Don't miss a chance to eat there.

Dishoom Edinburgh in the heart of St. Andrew's Square, and I can't thank my friends enough for recommending this fantastic Indian restaurant. From the moment we stepped inside, our journey was nothing short of amazing. The decor was warm and inviting.
First and foremost, the food here is a culinary masterpiece. It's safe to say that Dishoom serves some of the best Indian cuisine I've ever had the pleasure of tasting. The flavors were rich, authentic, and each dish was a delightful explosion of taste. The variety of dishes we tried, all meant for sharing, made our dining experience even more enjoyable. Whether you're a fan of spicy curries, flavorful biryanis, or succulent tandoori dishes, they have it all and it's done to perfection.
Speaking of curries, I must say that the UK truly knows how to do them justice, and Dishoom is no exception. Their curry dishes are a must-try and a testament to their commitment to authentic Indian flavors.
But it's not just the food that makes Dishoom stand out; the service is exceptional as well. Our server, a young gentleman who had relocated to Scotland from Italy, added an extra layer of warmth and professionalism to our dining experience. He took great care of us, offering recommendations, ensuring our glasses were never empty, and making sure every aspect of our meal was perfect. His genuine passion for delivering top-notch service was evident throughout our visit.
All in all, our experience at Dishoom Edinburgh was exceptional. If you're looking for an Indian restaurant that serves incredible food, provides outstanding service, and offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, look no further. They have locations in Manchester and London as well.
The reviews are warranted and the wait is worth it. While there are some dishes we might skip – the mint team is literally hot water with a few leaves in it – Dishoom is truly fabulous. The next time you dine at this location, request to sit in Mat’s section. He was friendly, knowledgeable and easily the most attentive and aware server we had during our UK holiday. Highly recommend trying the House Chaat, Chili Broccoli Salad and Chicken Ruby. The special during our visit was Salli Boti, a delicious lamb dish that we loved. Be sure to balance your meal with breads, rice dishes and proteins. Enjoy!

Service was amazing and the food is absolutely delicious.
We evengot a couple of complimentary glasses of prosecco when the waiter found out we had just got married.
Cannot recommend it enough and I will be back again the next time I visit
Dishoom is as close to a perfect restaurant as you can get. Amazing food, creative theming and environment and great service. Go with an open mind, try a bunch of things on the menu (everything is great!) and enjoy yourself. Be prepared for a long wait (no reservations) but grab some tea outside if they are offering it and peruse the menu. It’s a bit loud and crowded inside but you are here to eat, not to read a book! Can’t wait to come back!

I've had a lot of Indian food in my time, and always try to check out local offerings if time permits because the flavors are so good. In all my time and in all my places of sampling Indian cuisine, Dishoom stands perhaps at the top for delicious Indian food.
The menu is expansive, and with a variety of options to try each dish was perfect. Excellent spices, sauces, and portions, and if I hadn't eaten to the point of pain, I would have loved to sample even more of their delicious offerings. Some of the best curry I've ever had was in the Chicken Ruby, and if you're lucky enough to have the Alphonso mango in season, it's definitely worth the buy.
The staff was fantastic. Personable, charming, fun, and knowledgeable with their recommendations. They have tons of vegetarian options as well. If you need am excellent vegetarian place you will not be disappointed here!
Reserve ahead of time, I'd say a day at least, because, rightfully so, the line goes around the block for walk-ins. You won't regret your time at Dishoom, but perhaps plan for an hour walk afterwards so you can walk off all the food you'll be enjoying!
Dishoom Edinburgh at St. Andrew's Square, fantastic Indian restaurant. Had some of the authentic best Indian cuisine in our lunch. Also tried them in London. Food, service & atmosphere all good & perfect. Everything is made with perfection. One of the best Indian restaurants in the United Kingdom.
Great spot for a delicious meal in Edinburgh. We made a reservation and were seated immediately upon arrival. Great staff, fun starters, and it was nice to watch the kitchen staff cooking when entering.
