Food: extremely flavorful and delicious. The spice levels did not disappoint. I wish I could have tried everything on the menu. Cocktails: okay, would be more fun if they were more unique.

Dishoom pays homage to the food of Bombay, and I was thrilled that they serve such a large and extensive breakfast menu! The restaurant is huge and beautiful - with lots of art deco touches! The service was friendly and attentive throughout our meal. The restaurant just had great vibes - even the smell of the place (incense mixing with their delicious food) was great. I had their Kejriwal (two fried eggs on chilli cheese toast - "a modern favourite of the Willingdon Club in Tardeo, reputedly named for the member who kept asking for the dish, since he was not allowed eggs at home"), which was delicious. My husband had their bacon & egg naan roll with a side of masala beans, which he loved (he's even been trying to recreate the beans at home since we got back from London). With a large menu of other options and tons of beverage options (from alcoholic brunch options to chai to iced coffee), they have everything you could want for a great breakfast. We had a great breakfast at this Kensington location of Dishoom. I'd happily return to one of their other locations and have any meal - breakfast, lunch, or dinner!

We started with poppadoms and Chutney which were delicious then had a couple of appetizers that was also lovely! We enjoyed vegetable samosas and pakoras before moving on to our mains! We tried three : Tandoori chicken for the meat eaters any my daughter and I shared the Dal and paneer makani - the paneer dish was the best I had ever had and paired perfectly with the raita and naan!!

A restaurant should respect its customers, not insult them for their food choices. Telling people…read morethey "can't force their choice" is absurd--what kind of restaurant refuses to accommodate preferences? If you serve food, customers have every right to order what they want. That's how hospitality works. What's worse is their disrespectful attitude toward Indians, looking down on customers while profiting from Indian cuisine. If you don't respect the people whose culture you represent, you shouldn't be in this business. There are many better restaurants that welcome diners with respect. Avoid this place.

Fancied a curry so thought I'd give this place a go having had a menu drop through my door a couple…read moreof weeks back. I ordered over the phone as I have a Chicken Pathia fetish - having to have that dish whenever I have a curry from somewhere new, and as it wasn't on the menu I couldn't order it online due to not knowing how much it would cost! The chap on the end of the phone was very pleasant, and went to ask the chef how much my curry love would cost. They have a minimum £10 order so I chose my standard plain rice and plain naan which with 2 complimentary poppadums and complimentary chutney weighed in at just over £11. Not the cheapest I've ever had (and not the most expensive either!) but this is about what I'd expect to pay for a good meal delivered. Delivery took exactly 20 minutes, though I do live remarkably close to this place it turns out. The food came with the curry in a heat-sealed package, which I like, I think it looks very neat and clean and stops the curry spilling everywhere in transit. The rest was in plastic tubs, except naan and poppadums of course, which were still intact! It was piping hot and smelt delicious with not a hint of grease or oil floating around the top. Tender and moist chicken, a good thick sauce and a good chilli kick which didn't detract from the taste made for a great Pathia, possibly one of the better ones I've tasted. It was very coriandery though, which I myself am not fond of, but that didn't put me off as the quality was good. Naan was possibly a little undercooked and so fairly rubbery and stodgy, and I've never seen sesame seeds on a plain naan before, but it was still acceptable, and the poppadums very good, though the condiments (mango chutney and an onion salad) were in plastic pots which got hot during the journey and so the mango smelt, and tasted slightly of, plastic. Rice very good, and the small portion I got was easily a 2-person portion (I must point out I did only eat half!) and so I can only imagine how big a "Large" portion would be! Good solid curry, with a few things that just let it down a tad. And I'm thankful I spotted the cardamom seed before it spotted me!

Such a nice little Indian place! We wondered over here after a walk through Holland Park because it…read morewas one of the highest rated in the area. We were seated immediately and service was very prompt. We each got a Cobra beer (HUGE!) and they came in super beautiful glasses. For starters we split the papadum + chutney and the vegetarian samosa. Papadum was such a nice combination of flakey and crispy and came with such varied chutneys. The samosas were delicious. They came with 2 and some lettuce, tomatoes, and lemon. My one complaint is that I wish the samosas had come with a dipping sauce. For main we got the mixed vegetable curry. Hugely delicious. Such a nice mix of vegetables and the curry sauce was so good. You do have to order rice on the side, which I know is common in big cities, but does always bum me out. We got a naan to accompany the main. Spent £50.40 total with 2 starters, 2 beers, and one main. Definitely on the pricey side (especially because I'm coming from America, and the USD is so weak compared to the GBP right now), but was a lovely dinner with lovely service and a nice atmosphere. Would come again for a nice dinner out :) Oh! And they gave us delicious orange chocolates at the end of the meal and heated hand wipes!

I had porridge with nuts and dried fruits on top, and it was exactly as it sounds. It was a huge portion, especially for the price/location, and it was so filling that I didn't even finish. My friend had waffles with a house-made hazelnut-chocolate spread. It might have been ok except that the waffles were not heated all the way through, so they were tough and chewy. The guy that made our order looked like he might have had a little too much fun the night before, so that might have been the issue, but he did put the waffles through the toaster, so it might also be a hardware issue. Whatever it was, my friend did her best but eventually gave up on the unappetizing waffles. The espressos were good, though.
