As part of our ‘What’s In My Dabba?’ series, we get a glimpse into friends’ kitchens, as they share judicious spicing of favourite dishes and tips inherited from elders.
This month, we join Rege Batchu (), the chef behind beloved recipe hub Bad and Bhaji – home to all manner of glorious Punjabi dishes, lovingly passed down.
Rege tenderly recollects early food memories, his Mama-ji central to each rhythm and ritual: Smoking ghee. Fresh herbs perfuming countertops. Pressure cookers joyfully whistling. Along with revealing tips for saving over-salted dishes and expertly blooming (not burning) spices. He also shares a comforting recipe for warmly spiced Butternut Squash Sabji.

What if we spent more time enjoying time? Unbridled moments of beautiful things, much like the care, attentiveness and love that goes into making a slow, rich cup of chai. This weekend, wander over to to do exactly that with . The wonderful team has taken over the iconic space on Chiltern Street, to create beautiful moments that invite you to waste time, deliciously.
This poem I wrote was the inspiration behind my Chai Pe Charcha which took place here yesterday morning—I cannot express how much fun it was!

Step outside and it hits you. That thick, heavy air. The kind that makes you move just a little bit slower, seeking out the shady side of the street. It’s a heat that feels fiercely familiar- more than a little bit like a sweltering, mid-afternoon in Bombay.
Swing on by to the cool, shaded sanctuary of any Dishoom café, pull up a chair, and let us revive you with the ultimate, time-honoured antidote:
Mango Kulfi - Satin-smooth, sweet real mango.
Pistachio Kulfi - Creamy, proper pistachio.
Malai Kulfi - The champion, with a gentle hint of caramel.
Step inside, find comfort in the cool, and let a kulfi work its magic.

We are delighted to welcome mango season back to our Dishoom cafés and Permit Rooms for a fleeting moment. Join us from May 4th to June 7th for our seasonal special and limited-edition mango goodness before the moment slips away.
Chef Arun has been roaming Kingsbury Market on a tireless quest for the very best mangoes, searching for that specific, sun-drenched sweetness that defines the season. It is a pursuit of memory of juice-dripping chins, sticky fingers, and the quiet act of love found in a bowl of perfectly peeled cubes. Amongst the crates and the chatter, he has found exactly what he was looking for: the Alphonso (the King) and the Kesar (the Queen).
Keep an eye out for all things mango in the weeks to come.

Friends, a polite notice of our new opening hours: from today, guests are very welcome to order food until 9:30pm and tipples until 9:45pm, and we’ll need to close our doors at 10pm sharp.
Looking ahead, from Monday we're very pleased to introduce an updated menu with new and returning plates of the heartiest Bombay comfort food (more on those coming soon), as well as a first-class new wine list.
Reservations remain open for groups of up to six guests (observing local restrictions on household meet-ups, of course) and we absolutely look forward to welcoming you at your leisure.

After a strange and uncertain few months, we’re extremely happy to be firing up the stoves, brewing large pots of chai and warming up our welcomes so we can open our doors to you all on Friday, July 10th!
As part of our measures to keep everyone safe during the time of coronavirus, we are now taking reservations for any size of group up to a maximum of 6 at any time of day. Walk-ins will always be welcome, but booking is particularly recommended for busy times such as evenings and weekends. Book now for July: https://bit.ly/2CZ9I2U
We have worked closely with leading safety specialists, and with their guidance created comprehensive safety standards to make sure our restaurants have the highest standards of health and safety for this time. More on these measures is available here: dishoom.com/safety/
After these months of hibernation, we must confess to being a touch nervous as we come out blinking in the sunlight. We’re hoping that our business still makes sense in the time of coronavirus.
More than anything, though, we’ve missed the restaurants full of you, our guests. We’ve missed our team, the lights that glow golden, and the music and the bustle and the fragrance of freshly brewed chai.
We’ll be here with big smiles whenever you feel ready to return and we can’t wait to welcome you back.
With much love,
Shamil, Kavi and the Dishoom team.

Last week’s decision to close the restaurants to dining guests was difficult and deeply sad, for all of us. Since then, we've been absolutely blown away by the love, generosity and support you have shown to our team. From spreading the word of our burgeoning takeaway and delivery service, to offering to support us in any way possible, you all have been so big-hearted towards us. We won't forget it.
But, after a whirlwind weekend satisfying your Dishoom needs from afar, things have changed again. Today we looked at the world around us and at our wonderful team, and felt strongly that we needed to do more. So, as of now, we have halted all collection and delivery from our restaurants, so we can send our team home to stay safe and well with their loved ones. A socially distanced Dishoom family - but still a family nonetheless.
While the restaurants are closed and takeaway is off the table (so to speak), we offer solace in our cookery book, which is most certainly still available to order. May it bring Dishoom, joy and plenty of Daal to your home. From all of us, with love.

What people say
Indian restaurants are known for their rich and flavorful dishes that tantalize the taste buds. Dishoom Carnaby, located on Kingly Street in London, is a shining example of an Indian restaurant that takes pride in its heritage and pays homage to the Irani cafés of Bombay. The restaurant's decor is reminiscent of the old-world charm of these cafés, with vintage posters adorning the walls and cozy booths that transport you back in time.
One of the highlights of Dishoom Carnaby is its outdoor terrace, where you can soak up the sun while sipping on refreshing cocktails and indulging in delectable snacks. The terrace offers a perfect respite from the hustle and bustle of London, allowing you to relax and unwind in a serene environment.
Another reason to visit Dishoom Carnaby is their seasonal menu offerings. The Alphonso mango, which is highly coveted in Bombay, makes a grand entrance at this restaurant for a few short weeks each year. You can enjoy this juicy fruit in various ways, including peeling and devouring it or topping it with cream.
Overall, Dishoom Carnaby is a must-visit for anyone who loves Indian cuisine or wants to experience the charm of Irani cafés. With its delicious food, vintage ambiance, and outdoor terrace, this restaurant offers an unforgettable dining experience that will leave you wanting more.
