Dishoom Edinburgh - Edinburgh

olatayo A.

Travelled from England for the Easter holidays and wanted somewhere nice to have dinner on our last night.
From the outside, it's unassuming, but once you step through the doors, you're transported into a totally different world.
You come in through the kitchen (great strategy, dishoom). The smoke and smells hit you straightaway.
We were told to expect a 40 min wait, but we were seated in 20, at a window overlooking St. Andrew square.
The staff are quite friendly (shame they don't wear badges), but Elise took good care of us and shared some recommendations which were on point.
I've never had chaat before but I like it now.
The salli boti was bursting full of flavour and if you have a penchant for something hot and spicy, you can try the mutton fry on a dare.
The Ruby chicken is another must try. Smooth, silky, melt in your mouth chicken curry.
We are yet to settle the bill as of the time of writing this but it's definitely going to be £££ but not bad for a family of 4.
The experience was worth it though.
Thank you, dishoom.

While exploring the city, we popped into Dishoom expecting a wait—but to our delight, we were seated right away (weekday lunch perk!). Our server was wonderful, offering great recommendations that did not disappoint. The food arrived quickly, and every bite was absolutely delicious. A fantastic experience from start to finish!

Dishoom was wonderful as always! We had it in London and this was just as enjoyable. Finally got to try breakfast, and it was so worth it! Loved the Wrestler Roll and the Oat Chai!
Ira was wonderful!! She helped us both times we went for breakfast and made our experience even better!!

The food was very delicious！The environment is very distinctive and the atmosphere is super nice. The only regret is that one has to wait for an hour. However, it's still worth trying and I'll definitely come back next time!

Dishoom Edinburgh absolutely lives up to the hype! The food was rich in flavor, beautifully spiced, and served with such care. Every dish we tried was delicious — full of warmth and depth, just like the best of Bombay cuisine.

The service was top-notch: friendly, efficient, and attentive without being overbearing. The atmosphere is stunning too — stylish, cozy, and full of character, making the entire dining experience feel special.

Highly recommend for anyone craving bold, authentic Indian flavors in a beautifully designed setting. Will definitely be back!

We had a fantastic dinner at Dishoom with a variety of dishes that mostly hit the mark. The lamb samosas, lamb chops, lamb pepper fry, and salli boti were all bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The garlic naan and roomali roti were fresh and complemented the meal beautifully. The fruit crumble with vanilla ice cream and the chocolate pudding served with a unique, spicy Kashmiri chilli ice cream were a perfect end to the meal.

The only slight letdown was the chicken ruby , it wasn’t bad, but we’ve had better. That said, the decor is stunning, and the service was attentive and warm. Overall, a memorable dining experience. Highly recommend!

Simply amazing experience!! I really liked the vibes of Dishoom, very authentic and cool. Everything is very smooth and highly organized despite how packed it was on a Monday night. We came without a reservation, first got seated at the bar, and only after about 20-25 minutes got a table already. Service was very kind and fast, our dinner arrived about 20 after putting in the orders. Food was wonderful, chicken ruby and house daal are highly recommended! An extra personal touch is that for those who are celebrating, they put an extra candle in the dessert which is on the house for the one. Paying the bill is super efficient with the QR code and the app, you can easily split. Overall, exquisite experience, highly recommended!

We had a truly wonderful experience at Dishoom today! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The food was absolutely delicious—bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. We were especially impressed by the variety of vegan options available.
Our waitress was exceptionally warm, attentive, and friendly, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The service overall was quick and efficient without ever feeling rushed. The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, with a stylish yet cozy ambiance that made us feel right at home.

We highly recommend Dishoom to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience with top-notch food, great service, and a fantastic atmosphere. We’ll definitely be coming back!
