Dishoom Kensington

Dishoom Kensington channels the spirit of Bombay’s old Irani cafés into one of London’s most beloved Indian dining experiences. The design is atmospheric and transportive — patterned tiles, vintage furniture, and the nostalgic charm that defines all Dishoom spaces. The menu is extensive and crowd-pleasing: breakfast features the famous bacon naan roll and chai, while lunch and dinner bring signature small plates, biryanis, grills, and curries like the black daal that has become a cult favourite. Service is brisk but warm, and the energy is high from morning through late evening, making it as much a social space as a restaurant. Dishoom’s strength lies in its consistency: accessible, stylish, and always buzzing, it’s a place that suits almost any occasion.
