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.

This month’s Dishoom Loves arrives with a deeply familiar and enticing scent – the glorious mango – finally in season for a few fleeting weeks. Long, fruitful evenings of sticky grins and messy chins await. Join us in celebrating the centrepiece of Bombay summer, not simply as cherished treat, but also as artistic muse, fine flavourer of vodka, and most stylish jewellery inspiration.

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.

This month’s Dishoom Loves gathers momentum with budding blossoms and honeyed evenings. Days gift an extra hour of glorious daylight. There’s a quiet confidence to the season now – an invitation to indulge in returning warmth.
We settle into the month by delighting in evocative scents of home, commemorating a South Asian trailblazer of deepest importance and stocking our kitchen cupboards with time-honoured jars of ghee.

No meal at Dishoom is truly finished until the final spoonful. If you seek that fiery and sweet sensation, look no further than our Dishoom Chocolate Pudding - a melting-in-the-middle masterpiece.
For those craving a cooling and creamy classic, our Pistachio Kulfi offers that authentic, proper pistachio flavour that transports you straight to the streets of Bombay. Or, find total harmony in our Coconutty Fruit Crumble, where a vibrant medley of pineapple, apple, and raspberry meets toasted coconut crumble and silken coconut ice cream.
Whatever your choice, these delights are the only way to bring your story to a perfect close.

There are lunches, and then there are Lunches - the kind where the afternoon stretches out and the conversation never quite finds a closing chapter.
It begins with a plate of Masala Prawns, charred and spicy, peeled with reckless abandon as the first stories of the day take flight. Then comes the creamy, coconut-heavy simmer of the Goan Monkfish Curry, a dish that demands to be shared and savoured. Between helpings of Grilled Greens, one uses fluffy pillows of Steamed Basmati Rice to mop up every last drop of golden gravy, ensuring nothing is left behind but the laughter.

Our Vaisakhi Special: Sarson Ka Saag with Makki Ki Roti
A much-loved Punjabi stable: slow-cooked mustard leaves and spinach – both abundant at this time – are tempered with ghee, cumin, green chillies, garlic and onions. Generously buttered, it is served beside classic makki (maize) rotis, unexpected-but-welcome tamarind-onion chutney and jaggery (for nibbling). A labour of love, and wholly comforting to all who partake.
Available every day from 12pm, Monday 6th to Sunday 19th April.

Some mornings arrive like an old memory - unhurried, warm, familiar. Before the rush, there are our Breakfast Naan Rolls.
A soft naan, warm in your hands. The woody drift of smoke curling through our kitchens and cafes.
A signature dish, and a small, perfect ritual to fuel your mornings.
Breakfast served weekdays from 8am, weekends from 9am.
