Dishoom

Dishoom is a vibrant Indian restaurant in the heart of Edinburgh which takes its inspiration from the Irani cafes of Bombay. The Edinburgh outpost is one of a family of six, all of the other establishments being based in London. All have a faux vintage charm but are themselves unique. The menu is more adventurous than the standard Indian fare in the capital. They offer a fresh take on the classics, such as their update of Bombay potatoes to Gunpowder Potatoes, and their signature Black Dhal is wonderful. They also offer some genuinely novel dishes. Breakfast buns composed of nan bread rolls are a delightful discovery, and their Jackfruit Biryani is a triumph. Add to this a great selection of cocktails (and mocktails) and you are in for a real treat.
