Dishoom Edinburgh

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. [Prebooking advisable].

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.

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!

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!

Dishoom Edinburgh in the heart of St. Andrew's Square, and I can't thank my friends enough for recommending this fantastic Indian restaurant.

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.

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!
