This place nailed the nostalgia! The decor took me straight back to old Bombay cafés. The black daal was rich and comforting, and their chai is honestly addictive. Be prepared for a wait though - we waited about 45 minutes even with a booking. Totally worth it!
I suspect the business will run out of steam. It’s become a (very expensive) fast food chain.I used to love the place. I’d go out of my way to go there.Staff aren’t what they were.Food appears to be double the price it used to be…..which would be fine but the portions appear to be half what they used to be.Lots of upselling, no warmth to the service, very soulless. Almost a caricature of itself. At least £50 a head with a beer. Unsustainable in my opinion.Shame.
@dishoom Birmingham A stone's throw from Town Hall.When you have a friend like @robforge famous for serving great food in Cranford, a food recommendation from him means something. In June I fell in love with the bottomless Chai tea. There were 16 of us including Rob and birthday boy John.Today it's Kerjiwal which started in an Iran Cafe in Bombay so the body builders could have their eggs fix.The service here is 10/10.Same for the ambience and the food.Ryan will be getting great reviews in all the places that count.You even get a takeaway Chai tea. Way to start a day in Birmingham which finishes with a slice of physical theatre at the Midlands Art Centre which is 2 miles outside of the centre.
Went for a birthday meal at Dishoom Manchester. Food was amazing and the service was even better. Our waitress was Mikaila and she was awesome. Really made a difference - it’s so lovely to go somewhere where they realise how much customer service matters. Well done Dishoom. Great experience. We’ll be back!
I’ve eaten at Dishoom Birmingham before, and while the portions are small, the food was usually o.k.. This visit, however, was very disappointing.The vegetable samosas were overcooked — mostly burnt thick pastry with very little filling. The replacement was just as bad. When I raised it with the manageress, she said their new chef “hadn’t been there long,” which didn’t excuse the poor quality. The waiter, Patrick, demonstrated little knowledge of the menu and provided inadequate service.For the main, I ordered the Tandoori Chaat, expecting a mild vegetarian dish. Instead, it was overloaded with raw chopped chilli — completely inedible. The pineapple pieces were inedible due to the extremely strong spices. When I complained, the manager insisted that “Indian food is generally spicy.” I kept explaining that I understand Indian food is usually marinated in spices, but this dish also included raw chillies which is entirely different and far too strong. He also claimed it was advertised on the menu, but the Tandoori Chaat description doesn’t mention raw chillies. I explained that I had poured half a plate of salad onto my plate and couldn’t see the chilli underneath, yet he kept insisting I shouldn’t have picked it up with my fork. At that point, I said, “I don’t want to argue with you.”On top of that, the fire exit near our table was locked and reportedly broken. The only other exit is by the reception, and in a packed, large restaurant, people would struggle to evacuate safely in an emergency. I couldn’t even step outside for air while my mouth was burning — a serious safety concern.We paid £112 for two (service charge included), and even if the main wasn’t charged, the overall experience was unacceptable. Poor food, dismissive staff, and unsafe conditions.
Went to Dishoom Cambridge as a celebration for Step-mum. We were greeted extremely well and food was excellent all around. Servers remained lovely, I would like to offer a special thanks to Fahid who accomodated all our needs wonderfully and was super helpful throughout our service. This place was a wonderful spot in Central Cambridge, I would definitely recommend it to all in the area!
I visited Dishoom Birmingham with my family on Saturday. The reception was warm and welcoming, and our assigned server was attentive. However, the overall experience was disappointing.The food lacked flavour and was poorly executed—several dishes were overly salty, packed with masala powder, and undercooked. Despite the restaurant’s reputation, the meal felt rushed and unrefined.While our server was courteous, we noticed other staff members chatting amongst themselves, spilling water, and showing little attention to nearby tables. This lack of professionalism detracted from the dining atmosphere.Unfortunately, the visit felt like a complete waste of time and money.
