I am Indian and all my English mates like Dishoom. I do think its pricey for what it is. If you went in the evening your meal would have cost a lot more, also think its a bit of a concept/theme restaurant rather than really authentic. I always prefer to go to local Indian restaurants run by families over chains to get proper Indian food.
The funny thing is that Dishoom is a family business) It was started by the younger members of the Tilda rice family) It is kind of authentic, albeit to a certain type of Indian cuisine, maybe slightly softened for western audiences. Personally I think its quite good, even though the dishes aren't exactly my all time favourite Indian dishes, but its well put together, flawlessly executed, & is quite tasty. Problem with most local Indian restaurants in the UK is a) Majority are Bangladeshi run, which arguably still is Indian food, but again a regional cuisine b) Im often just disappointed by the quality of the food as its not well thought out and prepared c) Those local restaurants often use preprepared curry sauces, if you look closely into the kitchens you can see big vats of Pateks catering sauces which explains why a lot of say Lamb Baltis all taste the same Lol. If we talk about the desi pubs they are different story usually not the best either with a few gems here and there if you go on a good day, & the posh Indian ones Trishna, Cinnamon Club etc are often just odd, a fusion of some kind of European haute cuisine & Indian food. You can do a lot worse than Dishoom, & I really like the way they do certain things eg they look after the staff and for instance take them all to India for training so they understand different foods, spices etc. That explains why the staff are usually in a good mood, & enthusiastic about the food) Would love Gary to visit India to check out different foods, would be really interesting)
@@zatarawood3588 My point is its a commercialised concept. Right down to the dishes being served. How many Indians do you see in these establishments? It a brand that is designed to make English/British people feel like they are eating Indian food in India as opposed to the UK and it works. Indian food has soo many variables, every family cooks a particular dish in a different way. That's what makes independent restaurants unique, some are good some are bad. If you go to a restaurant in Wembley or Southall you wouldn't get hardly any of the food on the menu in Dishoom.
Went to the Brum Dishoom a couple of weeks ago - I thought it was brilliant - had the Okra and gunpowder potatoes as well! As a vegan, the options were huge and all the food seemed very fresh and very tasty. Service was excellent as well. It was a work thing, so I wasn’t paying the bill either which was a bonus - think it probably is on the pricey side!
Dishoom gets a lot of heat but genuinely speaking as an Indian, their dishes are authentic and traditional. Their biriyani is exactly how we make it at home probably once a week. The tandoori roti is exactly how we make it except we make it on the tava. And the potatoes are exactly how our aloo sabzi is, except we chope the potatoes smaller. This is authentic and traditional North Indian food. Sure it's pricey but it is good quality tasty goodness.
Greetings from Laguna Beach CA Gary. I’ve been telling everyone about your channel, will be purchasing some hoodies soon and wearing them here in CA! Another great episode and I think I would have loved the Okra Fries. Looking forward to your next episode. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great review from Gary. I like how he keeps to describing the food. Other food critics tend to go off on a tangent, telling us one of their life stories. Top work
Glad you managed to get down and try Dishoom. Interesting dishes you went for, Gary. Not ones I would typically go for but they looked nice. You'll have to do round 2 one day and try their breakfast menu.
Gary great to see your sub count rising all the time. Have recommended your channel to family and friends. Nicely done, low key, thorough, respectful and very well done food reviews
I love Dishoom in Brighton, I give it a 9/10. Sometimes we go in & order the Byriani & lots of starters. But don't forget, every meal you buy they donate one to the homeless community. So it's doing stuff for the community.
When I saw Dishoom popping up on my recommendations Gary, I assumed you were there for breakfast. The bacon in a naan on the breakfast menu is a tremendous hangover cure! Possibly not the most authentic dish though! Top review as always 👍
I’ve never had okra but am now keen to try it. We stayed at Claridges last year. A mad splurge of cash! And we stepped round to breakfast twice at Dishoom and it was so relaxing, chill and tasty. Looking forward now to having dinner there. Thanks for another great video.
Hi Gary and Mr Cameraman. Well what a great place you went to tonight, as soon as you arrived there the smells got you, that says it all to me. I know there is only so many dishes you can try, but i was hoping you tried the lamb, i always think that tells you a good restaurant. I did smile when you said the Okra was fresh (i.e. not black like the other day) and i was hoping it was because of my e-mail i sent re said vegetable. Your score i thought was ok, i gave it a 9/10 but like i always say, I did not taste the food so bow to you on that one. Chris.
What a fabulous review! These upmarket places usually have food which isn’t too good but this was a delightful surprise. That roti looked so delicious. I would have loved to see you combine it with the potatoes by wrapping a piece round a piece of potato which is how it should be eaten.
Yummy..I love a Biryani(king prawn)..my local puts a very delicate lace omlette on top...(no idea how they make it look so beautiful)?..more for presentation but it works. Those gunpowder potatoes looked yummy too. Ty for sharing sharing Gary🎉
Love the food in Dishoom. It's expensive but consistently top quality. However, it always feels rushed at dinner time. Not one of those places that offers you drinks and lets you sit for an hour or two - which is what I expect at that kind of price point. Another great vid - thanks!
Great video as always Gary. Never been, but that is on my list for sure. As a but of an addict of cookbooks I do no have the "From Bombay with Love" - the first ever cookbook from Dishoom. It is a heavy hardback book, quality printing with lots of treats including the Okra Fries. Based on the cookbook alone the place should be amazing, and clearly you have tasted the evidence! Mark.
I thought that wasn't overly expensive, like you said gary, there was plenty there for two, looked great! as always a fair review, look forward to the next one.
Excellent review as always, Gary. As much as I love Dishoom, I agree that it’s slightly pricey for what it is. If you ever return to Dishoom, I can vouch for the lamb chops and the chicken ruby curry. Both moreish (as is everything on the menu). It would be great if you could visit Lahpet (Burmese) or Casa do Frango (Portuguese).
I’ve got my “Lets give it a go” T-shirt on for this one. Gary, I don’t know how you arranged it, but I got mine all the way in Canada in just 4 days and there was no customs paperwork/fees for me to deal with. I should have guessed your merch would be brilliant 👍
if you are ever in Belfast try Nu-Dehli on Great Victoria Street, definately one of the best Indian Restaurants here, Your review has just put me in the mood for one right now lol, another brilliant review Gary thanks, Gav
Gary can’t believe you were in Bristol a few weeks ago and didn’t try urban tandoor Indian small street best curry you’ll ever have. Let’s give it ago.
Hi Gary, we used to live a stones throw away before we moved to Harrow Place in central London. Been there a few times and never been disappointed, always great service, great food, great ambience, overall a great place. But it's not my favourite Indian in the Docklands, but it's a great place for lunch or dinner for those days you don't feel like cooking. I gave it a 7.5 out 10, but maybe I should reconsider that score in my database, as it was after our first visit. Glad you enjoyed it and enjoyed your time on me old "turf". Another fantastic review, mate, so happy for your success and keep it up, we need an objective and very descriptive food reviewer like you, as you're the best in the business in transmitting the smells, flavours and describing the food in general. Have a wonderful rest of your weekend, mate and speak to you soon.😊
Gary the price is not to bad as for London for different areas of London . As i thought that was cheap for Canary Wharf as seen other people eat in that area for different food they paid more for it than you would somewhere else for the same food . But that food looked out of this world when they put it on the table . For the Birry that is the proper way it is served meat always on the bottom and rice on the top .
Another great review, Gary. I was always a bit sceptical about Dishoom; worried that it might be yet another example of what I see so much of in London right now: namely a trendy and expensive take on what's generally seen as good honest comfort food. The price is indeed high but not outrageously so, when you take into consideration the apparent quality of the food, service and overall experience.
You can pay similar prices on brick lane for very average food, that all looked fantastic. City Spice brick lane has almost identical prices and portion sizes, yet is average and is one of the highest rated on the road. Definitely going to try dishoom.
I can imagine most of their clients are bankers and businessmen it looked very nice and good quality Gary. Great review as always catch you on the next one, take care, Gareth
In Canary wharf yes they are all finance guys) ... however if you went to the original one in Covent Garden they would be shoppers & a lot of tourists, if you went to the Kings Cross one it would be a lot of art students as a fashion school is just around the corner ... I did wonder myself how they afford it, god knows, but anyway it depends on which one you go to. Id say with prices rising everywhere, in London its only 20% more than you'd expect to pay in a modest local Indian restaurant these days. I think Gary paid 15 quid for the biriyani, it would be at least £12 even at the cheapest Indian restaurant you went to nowadays) If you went to a posh central London Indian restaurant they would charge £25! So all in all, I think its ok for what you get)
Fabulous review Gary and certainly better than the Heathrow offerings! I'd be up for all of this... it's Indian food with a twist :) I couldn't imagine anything more delightful. Brilliant description too, as ever! Okra... wow; I usually have them cooked down, but this looks very special. Now I'm hungry (again) LOL. 9/10? £20 per head is fine for that quality IMHO. Massive portion really... so can't complain.
Very nice comment Steve thank you, I agree good value at £20.00 a head, food was excellent but not outstanding hence my thoughts, have a really great week
Hi thanks for another terrific video review; I’m a huge fan of Didhoom but you should’ve gone to the soho / Kingly St venue - it’s atmosphere is incomparable to the corporate vibe of Canary Wharf. Also you can venture down stairs and see the whole kitchen brigade at work include the hot plate , tandoor etc. Oh another thing iam thoroughly recommend their breakfast bacon naan. Keep up the good work and keep em coming! J
I am VERY impressed Gary(and yet another to add to my London dining list😅) when i next fly in🎉 Pricey- yes it is but those portions would be perfect for a meal for 2 people and a cost for 2 of £40 is acceptable in London( especially considering its £6 a pint in London) lovely review Gary your the best dining reviewer out their.
Hi, Mr Gary, hope you are well my friend. As soon as I saw Dishoom I knew you would like it! These chain restaurants always have the best biryanis. But when it's the common curry houses, it has to be onion bhaji, meat samosa, lamb madras, Bombay potatoes, garlic keema nan, and boiled rice! 😋👍💯🌟💚
@@GaryEats . I know because I was the guy who took your order! Lol 😆 (Only joking, my friend!). See you on the next one, or should I say, LET'S GIVE IT A GO! Lol 😆
Gosh, I am fascinated by your show and your eating review. Learning so much, and I don't even live in England !!!, USA here, wish i could visit many of the places u have been. Blessings sent!!! (P.s. that black shirt is quite stunning on you.)
As one of the other posts says, it wouldn't be what I would order, but have to admit Gary, that looked Fantastico, particularly the Biryani. I don't think the price was excessive and looked like decent sized portions. I will certainly put the Dishroom on my look out list when I travel the highways and byways of the UK!!!
Everyone's new dream job: operating the camera for Gary, just to hang out with such a warm person and off-camera enthuse about good food. Great review as always! Good luck with building the spice tolerance!
Good honest review as usual Gary - and having eaten a couple of times in the Manchester branch completely agree with your comments and observations - not cheap but always reliable.
Great review Gary. I absolutely agree with score you gave, it is pricey and worth knocking the points for those reasons. I agree with others, I'm Asian who grew up with Indian food. Dishoom is a concept place, food is overpriced. Eating at family run restaurant with unique feel is better over chains. However food is good, I've been to top end restaurant that gives you more than two wholemeal roti for same price. I don't know about you, I am finding the hospitality industry in a weird place, everything costs so much more now. I find myself cooking same or better meals at home. However, Dishoom is a great place for special occasions. Glad you tried it. 😊
Whilst I have not been to Dishoom, it looks way better than the majority of restaurants on Brick Lane whose food is anything but authentic and expensive.
Hi Gary, I went to the same Canary Wharf restaurant last month. It is consistently very good but I did think it was about 20% too expensive even for CW. Agree the service is very strong.
It looks really nice, Gary. Paying a higher price brings higher expectations with restaurants. Nice as it looks, you can't beat a good family run Indian restaurant. I'd recommend visiting Brunel Raj in Clifton, Bristol. There are so many different restaurants in Bristol, you could try all kinds of food. Keep up the good work. 👍
I went down to London in november to visit my friend and we decided to try Dishoom. The food and service was absolutely oustanding from our experience, expensive yes but definitely worth going at least once. Great video Gary 👍
I wouldn't mind paying for that! Would you consider, putting the price of each dish on the screen when you do the final sum-up at the end? I have seen a lot of other channels do that and I think it brings value, but then again you're the boss
Interesting video and an unusual choice of meal. I've never had a biryani without a side dish of sauce of choice, usually vindaloo. I've checked the online menu and noticed that there too beef is not available. I've yet to hear a realistic reason as to why in 95% of Indian restaurants beef has been removed from menus. Keep up the good work, it's a tough job, but someone's got to do it! 🙂
There are a lot of youtubers (if that's a word) doing restaurant/food reviews, I've seen a few of them and, frankly, Gary (and his long suffering cameraman, do they get to eat ?) should be considering teaching an online course in how to do it properly. Another excellent review which appeals to me, my wife and kids. Dishooms here we come (once we've won the lottery)
Love your channel Gary! Love Dishoom even as a curry lover who lives in Brum and has hundreds to choose from they are up there with the best Indian food I’ve eaten. As you say always a great service and atmosphere. Look forward to your further videos up in Brum!
As always Gary, a fair honest review. I’ve been to Dishoom, once when it first opened in 2014 and once last year. Both times were for brunch; I’d recommend you try this. Unique twist on breakfast items and chai is free refills. IMO - if the biriyani didn’t come with complimentary raita then that’s a bit pricey. Good stuff!
Great vid, Gaz. Can you add Frankie and Bennys to your list please? I last went about 12 years ago and it was absolutely terrible. Be interested to see if its improved (i suspect not)
Hi Gary, interior looks pretty good. Nice bar. Looks like someone went all Van Gogh 'Starry Night' on the glass behind you. I have to batter up and fry some okra. Never had it that way. Looks good. Yes, that's what we all want in a chilli - one that can 'calm down' ! Gary, this was a very good episode featuring a pretty good restaurant. Thank you for giving us a seat at your table ! All the best, my friend ! If I can't live the life of Riley, I'm glad that you can !
I heard you at the beginning saying your working up to a phall, I can’t wait for that episode, as always I love every food review you do keep up the great work you do 👊👏🙌😉
Good review Gary 👍 I thought 8.5 too as you was running through the dishes at the end, For me, I would probably of chosen different dishes to try,but what you had looked pretty well presented and cooked/seasoned,Seemed a nice place for a bit of a treat.Cheers 👍
As usual, another great review. Never had okra, but want to try it ! Biriani looked lovely! Going to make Hubby Joe firecracker potatoes tonight to go with his chicken dhansak! I’ve got to ‘give it a go’. Thanks Gary!!! More thought inducing recipes for me!
Another great review👍🏼 The food looked good there, nicely presented and decent portions. Got to be naan for me, just better for mopping up sauce! Did The Camerman get to munch as well? 😄
Hi Gary, nice review. We’ve been to the London Dishoom’s quite a few times but not the Canary Wharf one (yet). Looks great. Regarding the price etc…personally, if you think what you had was almost ok for two people then that is a real plus really and needs to be factored in. A £40 meal for two has to be pretty good I’d say especially given the lovely setting, great service etc. Big tick from me. Great review as always Gary, me and the wife are big fans. 👍
Went to the Manchester Dishoom for lunch yesterday on the back of this review and it was excellent! Really great spicing and presentation - and quite different from the typical Pakistani/Bangladeshi curry house fare. All the staff were delightful and the place itself is fun and quirky. Had three starters, 2 mains, rice, garlic naan and 4 beers and - with service - the bill was £100 for two. I know some might think that pricy but it just depends what value you put on quality, and if you see eating out as an experience rather than just filling your belly. Thanks again! p-s - it was packed on a cold, wet Tuesday lunchtime whilst all the restaurants around it were dead. Gotta tell you something eh?
Looked lovely Gary. I’ve only had Biryani a few times from take aways and once in a restaurant. The restaurant was the best Indian in Dublin a place called Pickle. The food was top drawer Indian food I’d highly recommend it. I had to book a table weeks in advance. Id give Dishroom a go ! based on your video 👍.
Great review (as usual) Gary--thanks! As a couple of Yanks visiting London, we love Dishoom (we ate twice at the location farther north, within easy walking distance of our hotel--the St Pancras Rennaisance). Funilly enough, we also had the potatoes and chicken biryiani, got brussel sprounts instead of the fried okra, and naan is always better than roti lol. I do agree it's a bit pricey, but given the overall experience (high quality, trendy and lively/fun surroundings, great ambience, etc.), it's a decent value in our opinion. That being said, I know you've reviewed several Indian restaurants lately, including some you may prefer over Dishoom, at some point I'd love to see you begin to rank your favorites (by city--especially London, as that's where we tend to spend the most of our time vacationing in England) and by cuisine of course (top 3-5 Indian restaurants, top 3-5 fish & chip shops, top 3-5 roasts, etc.). Thanks and keep up the great work!
Nice review Gary , as always I am now addicted to your reviews , Get yourself to India and experience real Indian food , start in the North , Punjab and then head to the South, you will experience a completely different style of food , just focus on street food , you will love it ! Keep it up , nice review !
Have always walked past this chain in London and other locations-but always heard really good things about it! Will have to try it sometime. Another enjoyable review mate 😀
That was another good review Gary, the food looked good and made my mouthwater, yes perhaps a bit pricey but having watched your review people can make up their own mind, but thank you for putting yourself through the hoop again on our behalf, thank you.
Went there for the office Christmas do and I wasn’t impressed but that might be because it was sharing plates and a lot more limited. The okra fries were the best thing about it for me, and the cocktails!
I have been to Dishoom in Seven Dials a couple of times for breakfast, which, as I remember, was quite decently priced. I don't know if the price varies by location, but I wouldn't be surprised if Canary Wharf was more expensive if it did. The food is top quality and I really enjoyed it at the time, they do have a slightly different approach to their cuisine with some nice touches. Another great review which reminds me I should try lunch there in the future. My score would have been a 9 especially based on portion size, I think one extra dish from the menu would have made that a decent meal for two. Cheers.
The food looked very good,I think they served the Biriani with the chicken on the bottom to replicate the way it’s cooked in India.first the meat,and spices go on the bottom of a large pot on an open fire,then partly cooked rice,and often saffron water is added, then a pastry lid covers the pot,slow cooked,in fact many restaurants in NY now serve their Biriani in a bowl with a pastry lid. Raita is pronounced Ry-ta,and Roti is Row-tea.
I've eaten here on numerous occasions because my Son lives and works on the wharf, never had a bad meal and the place comes into its own at night, yes, its a little on the dearer side for indian food, but look where you are ? the heart of the financial and banking district overlooked by some of the most expensive apartments and buildings in London, just imagine what rent and rates they must be paying for that location, Canary Wharf is fast becoming a "Go too" area for great food and a night / day out, must bare all that in mind, same goes for Soho, Hampstead, Clarkenwell, Borough Market etc etc ....... and as you say Gary, split that between two as there was more than enough for two at lunchtime, great review as always.
The meal looked nice. Okra tends to be a bit slimey, but deep fried seemed to make a difference. Maybe I need to check the Manchester restaurant out! Another excellent review. Thank you
The Okra looked amazing and if the price is on the steep side you can live with that once in a while as long as the food/experience is excellent, thanks Gary another Gem.
I've never been, but I would expect to be paying a premium eating in Canary Wharf. I'm biased, as I love Indian or British Indian food, I don't think it's too heavily featured on the channel as it is at the core of British food. A good Indian, which that looked should be an assault on the senses. Visually vibrant, aromatic and well spiced. Price wise, a place like that will never be your regular curry house but for a treat, absolutely. Great, enjoyable review as always 😊PS my fav are chapatti's
a premium for eating in canary wharf ?? you mean mugged off . i wouldn't go near the place an i khow it well as i used to deliver there to several restaurant's all overpriced an over hyped .
The food again looked delicious 😋 best food reviewer on this channel, very fair and clear and just not a food review you review the whole experience 😊❤ when you take into consideration the quality of the food this did not seem to be overpriced at all 😊 thank you for anoher enjoyable review😊❤
When we visit London we occasionally go for Breakfast, my husband has the Bacon in the Nan Bread and I have the sausage and Bacon on Nan Bread without the cream cheese it is brilliant with all the flavours, you should give that a go sometime 👍
Great review Gary looked good for a chain.....even though high class....the Biriani looked good...price not bad considering you were in Canary Wharf and it was good service 🙂
I love watching your visits to Indian restaurants because that is something we never see here in the Southern States. In fact, the last Indian meal I had was over 48 years ago when I left London and moved to the US.
Which State are you in? I know Indian restaurants are popping up all over now.Bangladeshi people are now in a lot of States,and where they go there are Indian restaurants.
Can we have a drumroll for the chilli sauce🤔..No tears (hurray)😊 Starters looking good👌 We knew the main had a bit of a kick to it your face never lies Gary🤣Atleast it wasn't like the last one the Stig nearly had to get a defibrillator for you then😉 The quality is defo there, but for a lunch time bit of grub🤔 pretty expensive for me anyways but everyone is different. Thanks for the review guys as always perfect🙌
That looked lovely. I've never had okra but if I can find it at an Indian restaurant, I am going to try it! The portions did look decent and I can imagine that being a shared meal. The way the biryani was served is quite traditional; I worked for an Indian couple years ago, and used to go to their home for dinner once a month. She made biryani and the chicken was under the rice - but she turned it over onto a serving platter so you could get the chicken easily. I think her presentation was more 'home style' than restaurant. it was delicious, though! Thanks for sharing your experience! xx
My fav Indian when I visit Edinburgh. Love their mango lassi and garlic nan. I have been all over Indian and find this restaurant is as close to authentic as it gets. Love to look down into the kitchen and enjoy excellent service.
Today we had lunch in the Carnaby Dishoom restaurant and ordered the same dishes that you had in your video. Even though the restaurant was very busy at two p.m., the food was delicious and the waiting staff was superb. The dining hall was not spectacular compared to other Dishoom restaurants in London but what actually left us speechless and in wonder was the amazing open kitchen on the basement, it was like a stage. Thank you very much, Gary, as we loved your dishes and the place.
I know the Dishoom restaurant near King's Cross and that is one of the most spectacular restaurants where I have been to in London. Furthermore, table service was outstanding. The food was delicious but maybe a bit too spicy for my taste. I will certainly have your rice with chicken the next time I dine there.
I am Indian and all my English mates like Dishoom. I do think its pricey for what it is. If you went in the evening your meal would have cost a lot more, also think its a bit of a concept/theme restaurant rather than really authentic. I always prefer to go to local Indian restaurants run by families over chains to get proper Indian food.
I agree local restaurants always, however I’m not sure the price changes evenings 🤷♂️
Agreed mate

As a vegan, the options were huge and all the food seemed very fresh and very tasty. Service was excellent as well. It was a work thing, so I wasn’t paying the bill either which was a bonus - think it probably is on the pricey side!
That’s excellent to hear Alastair, it was very good not outstanding, but if someone else is paying then never any complaints 😊
Dishoom gets a lot of heat but genuinely speaking as an Indian, their dishes are authentic and traditional. Their biriyani is exactly how we make it at home probably once a week. The tandoori roti is exactly how we make it except we make it on the tava. And the potatoes are exactly how our aloo sabzi is, except we chope the potatoes smaller. This is authentic and traditional North Indian food. Sure it's pricey but it is good quality tasty goodness.
I enjoyed the food, wasn't the best I've had but certainly nowhere near the worst
From Canada! I love your videos and how you review every place you go! I look forward to your next videos.
Very kind to say, hello Canada 🇨🇦
Greetings from Laguna Beach CA Gary. I’ve been telling everyone about your channel, will be purchasing some hoodies soon and wearing them here in CA! Another great episode and I think I would have loved the Okra Fries. Looking forward to your next episode. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Great review from Gary. I like how he keeps to describing the food. Other food critics tend to go off on a tangent, telling us one of their life stories. Top work
Well David let me tell you about my weekend, I had family….. joking 🙃 Thank you a lovely comment 👍
You've got me hooked, yours is the first video I look for when I come home.
Thank you very much
My favourite food channel on TH-cam..... always great videos 👍👍
Very kind Stevie thank you 😊
Glad you managed to get down and try Dishoom. Interesting dishes you went for, Gary. Not ones I would typically go for but they looked nice. You'll have to do round 2 one day and try their breakfast menu.
I’m thinking of doing that 👍
@@GaryEats Their bacon naan is awesome.
@@garrick43bacon Naan!!! 🤤
Gary great to see your sub count rising all the time. Have recommended your channel to family and friends. Nicely done, low key, thorough, respectful and very well done food reviews
That is very kind thank you very much 😊
Yet another cracking video review👍🏾, it all looked so scrumptious
Thank you John 👍
Highlight for me today was seeing you have put up another Restaurant/Food review, Really enjoyed it Gary! 👍
Thank you Scotty really appreciate that
I love Dishoom in Brighton, I give it a 9/10. Sometimes we go in & order the Byriani & lots of starters. But don't forget, every meal you buy they donate one to the homeless community. So it's doing stuff for the community.
It's very nice!
When I saw Dishoom popping up on my recommendations Gary, I assumed you were there for breakfast. The bacon in a naan on the breakfast menu is a tremendous hangover cure! Possibly not the most authentic dish though! Top review as always 👍
I will give that a go. Sounds delicious!
I’ve never had okra but am now keen to try it. We stayed at Claridges last year. A mad splurge of cash! And we stepped round to breakfast twice at Dishoom and it was so relaxing, chill and tasty. Looking forward now to having dinner there. Thanks for another great video.
Give it a go Ian!
I hated okra in the US, but absolutely love Indian spiced okra. If you've tried it, hope you enjoyed it!
Hi Gary and Mr Cameraman.
Well what a great place you went to tonight, as soon as you arrived there the smells got you, that says it all to me.
I know there is only so many dishes you can try, but i was hoping you tried the lamb, i always think that tells you a good restaurant.
I did smile when you said the Okra was fresh (i.e. not black like the other day) and i was hoping it was because of my e-mail i sent re said vegetable.
Your score i thought was ok, i gave it a 9/10 but like i always say, I did not taste the food so bow to you on that one.
Chris.
I think you're right as well regarding the lamb, Chris but I've had it a lot recently so fancied a change.
Take care mate!
Great review, Gary! I've been to Dishoom many times in Edinburgh, and every single time, the food was spectacular! Its my wife's fav restaurant
So many other people have said this about Edinburgh 👍
My go-to breakfast in Edinburgh.
What a fabulous review! These upmarket places usually have food which isn’t too good but this was a delightful surprise. That roti looked so delicious. I would have loved to see you combine it with the potatoes by wrapping a piece round a piece of potato which is how it should be eaten.
Thank you very much Monica
Love your food reviews Gary, always honest and interesting and you seem like a really decent chap too.
Very kind to say 😊
Yummy..I love a Biryani(king prawn)..my local puts a very delicate lace omlette on top...(no idea how they make it look so beautiful)?..more for presentation but it works. Those gunpowder potatoes looked yummy too. Ty for sharing sharing Gary🎉
You’re welcome thank you 😊
That sounds like a South Indian style restaurant) ... they use a lot more egg in dishes, & often do what you described.
Love the food in Dishoom. It's expensive but consistently top quality. However, it always feels rushed at dinner time. Not one of those places that offers you drinks and lets you sit for an hour or two - which is what I expect at that kind of price point.
Another great vid - thanks!
Very good point Mat. Thanks!
Back on point! Awesome mate!
Good hair btw!
Nightmare in the wet!!
Great review as always Gary!
Thank you kindly
Great video as always Gary. Never been, but that is on my list for sure. As a but of an addict of cookbooks I do no have the "From Bombay with Love" - the first ever cookbook from Dishoom. It is a heavy hardback book, quality printing with lots of treats including the Okra Fries. Based on the cookbook alone the place should be amazing, and clearly you have tasted the evidence! Mark.
So good to hear Mark, you’ll have to cook for me one day mate 😊
I thought that wasn't overly expensive, like you said gary, there was plenty there for two, looked great! as always a fair review, look forward to the next one.
Thank you
Mate you've earned a sub today, you're just so engaging, humble and hands down the best food reviewer on YT. Keep up the good work mate!
Much appreciated! Thanks so much
You are the best. You should go to the Happy Lamb. Love it. You need to share it with your lovely cameraman,
Thank you Victoria very kind and I will take a look x
Excellent review as always, Gary. As much as I love Dishoom, I agree that it’s slightly pricey for what it is. If you ever return to Dishoom, I can vouch for the lamb chops and the chicken ruby curry. Both moreish (as is everything on the menu). It would be great if you could visit Lahpet (Burmese) or Casa do Frango (Portuguese).
Thanks very much David - I'll take a look
As of your indian cuisine videos you have covered this looks the best.Thank you for your video.
It was very good but definitely not the best 👍
I like your analysis at the end. you seem to be genuine & unbiased. excellent review.
That is very kind thank you 😊
I’ve got my “Lets give it a go” T-shirt on for this one. Gary, I don’t know how you arranged it, but I got mine all the way in Canada in just 4 days and there was no customs paperwork/fees for me to deal with.
I should have guessed your merch would be brilliant 👍
Wow that’s amazing you got it so quickly in Canada 🇨🇦 Jean and thank very much 😊x
if you are ever in Belfast try Nu-Dehli on Great Victoria Street, definately one of the best Indian Restaurants here, Your review has just put me in the mood for one right now lol, another brilliant review Gary thanks, Gav
Cheers Gav when I’m over I’ll take a look mate
Gary can’t believe you were in Bristol a few weeks ago and didn’t try urban tandoor Indian small street best curry you’ll ever have. Let’s give it ago.
I’m back in Bristol this week I will have a look if I get time 👍
Urban Tandoor is bang average imo…. I couldn’t give a monkeys how many awards they’ve got it ain’t for me 😆
@@si-mike5398 each to there own opinion fair shout 👍
Urban is well below par
@@Etihadnev I’m still trying to find my fav curry in Bristol…
Hi Gary, we used to live a stones throw away before we moved to Harrow Place in central London. Been there a few times and never been disappointed, always great service, great food, great ambience, overall a great place. But it's not my favourite Indian in the Docklands, but it's a great place for lunch or dinner for those days you don't feel like cooking. I gave it a 7.5 out 10, but maybe I should reconsider that score in my database, as it was after our first visit. Glad you enjoyed it and enjoyed your time on me old "turf". Another fantastic review, mate, so happy for your success and keep it up, we need an objective and very descriptive food reviewer like you, as you're the best in the business in transmitting the smells, flavours and describing the food in general. Have a wonderful rest of your weekend, mate and speak to you soon.😊
Really appreciate your kind words and I'm glad I get to read your longer comments again. Enjoy your Sunday!
Gary the price is not to bad as for London for different areas of London . As i thought that was cheap for Canary Wharf as seen other people eat in that area for different food they paid more for it than you would somewhere else for the same food . But that food looked out of this world when they put it on the table . For the Birry that is the proper way it is served meat always on the bottom and rice on the top .
It wasn’t cheap but you’re right it isn’t a cheap area to eat, food was very good but not outstanding 👍
Another great review, Gary. I was always a bit sceptical about Dishoom; worried that it might be yet another example of what I see so much of in London right now: namely a trendy and expensive take on what's generally seen as good honest comfort food. The price is indeed high but not outrageously so, when you take into consideration the apparent quality of the food, service and overall experience.
Thank you Walter, it was a little pricy but overall very good 😊
You can pay similar prices on brick lane for very average food, that all looked fantastic. City Spice brick lane has almost identical prices and portion sizes, yet is average and is one of the highest rated on the road. Definitely going to try dishoom.
I can imagine most of their clients are bankers and businessmen it looked very nice and good quality Gary. Great review as always catch you on the next one, take care, Gareth
Thank you Gareth, the menu and prices are the same throughout the country so I’m guessing no 🤷♂️
In Canary wharf yes they are all finance guys) ... however if you went to the original one in Covent Garden they would be shoppers & a lot of tourists, if you went to the Kings Cross one it would be a lot of art students as a fashion school is just around the corner ... I did wonder myself how they afford it, god knows, but anyway it depends on which one you go to. Id say with prices rising everywhere, in London its only 20% more than you'd expect to pay in a modest local Indian restaurant these days. I think Gary paid 15 quid for the biriyani, it would be at least £12 even at the cheapest Indian restaurant you went to nowadays) If you went to a posh central London Indian restaurant they would charge £25! So all in all, I think its ok for what you get)
Fabulous review Gary and certainly better than the Heathrow offerings! I'd be up for all of this... it's Indian food with a twist :) I couldn't imagine anything more delightful. Brilliant description too, as ever! Okra... wow; I usually have them cooked down, but this looks very special. Now I'm hungry (again) LOL. 9/10? £20 per head is fine for that quality IMHO. Massive portion really... so can't complain.
Very nice comment Steve thank you, I agree good value at £20.00 a head, food was excellent but not outstanding hence my thoughts, have a really great week
The best food reviews are gary eats love the places you go and so honest
Very kind to say Julie thank you 😊
Today is just starting Gary, I should be asleep, but no here I am catching up!! Thank you both. 🤗🤗🌹🌹
Good morning! Lol
Their murg malai chicken is great and prawn kaliwada
You should review chai ki which is also in Canary Wharf.
Thank you good recommendations 👍
Hi thanks for another terrific video review; I’m a huge fan of Didhoom but you should’ve gone to the soho / Kingly St venue - it’s atmosphere is incomparable to the corporate vibe of Canary Wharf. Also you can venture down stairs and see the whole kitchen brigade at work include the hot plate , tandoor etc. Oh another thing iam thoroughly recommend their breakfast bacon naan. Keep up the good work and keep em coming! J
Very kind Jamie a breakfast will come soon mate 👍
Thanks for another great video...
did I hear you mention a phall challenge?
Coming soon Frank 😳
Anyone doing a phal challenge will need plenty of riata and yoghurt on standby!
I am VERY impressed Gary(and yet another to add to my London dining list😅) when i next fly in🎉
Pricey- yes it is but those portions would be perfect for a meal for 2 people and a cost for 2 of £40 is acceptable in London( especially considering its £6 a pint in London) lovely review Gary your the best dining reviewer out their.
I agree with that and even adding another side dish to make sure it was enough for 2 people would still only be 23/24 pound each for a tremendous meal
Glad you liked the look of it Geoffrey!
Hi, Mr Gary, hope you are well my friend. As soon as I saw Dishoom I knew you would like it! These chain restaurants always have the best biryanis. But when it's the common curry houses, it has to be onion bhaji, meat samosa, lamb madras, Bombay potatoes, garlic keema nan, and boiled rice! 😋👍💯🌟💚
Believe it or not that is exactly what I’m having tonight, blimey that’s scary 😳😳🤣
@@GaryEats . I know because I was the guy who took your order! Lol 😆 (Only joking, my friend!). See you on the next one, or should I say, LET'S GIVE IT A GO! Lol 😆
You’re making me hungry. 😊
@@columbus7950 . Go for it, my friend. It's Saturday night, so treat yourself if you can.👍💯🌟💚
Gosh, I am fascinated by your show and your eating review. Learning so much, and I don't even live in England !!!, USA here, wish i could visit many of the places u have been. Blessings sent!!! (P.s. that black shirt is quite stunning on you.)
That is very kind to say, Linda thank you very much as always 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Best channel on YT!
Thank you very much 👍
As one of the other posts says, it wouldn't be what I would order, but have to admit Gary, that looked Fantastico, particularly the Biryani. I don't think the price was excessive and looked like decent sized portions. I will certainly put the Dishroom on my look out list when I travel the highways and byways of the UK!!!
Many thanks David it is worth a visit
Everyone's new dream job: operating the camera for Gary, just to hang out with such a warm person and off-camera enthuse about good food. Great review as always! Good luck with building the spice tolerance!
That is lovely to say thank you 😊 I’m sure the challenge will go wrong in fact I know it will 😞😞
Good honest review as usual Gary - and having eaten a couple of times in the Manchester branch completely agree with your comments and observations - not cheap but always reliable.
Thank you John 👍
I'm glad you knocked a point off for the price Gary, it did look stunning but that's half a days wage for many people, great review mate.
It's in London, thats only a couple of hours wages... I can vouch 😊
@@daystate123not sure if serious...
@@rundattmedia2106average hourly wage in London in 2023 was £22.15 an hour
Thanks Matt. Yes, very pricy!
Great review Gary. I absolutely agree with score you gave, it is pricey and worth knocking the points for those reasons. I agree with others, I'm Asian who grew up with Indian food. Dishoom is a concept place, food is overpriced. Eating at family run restaurant with unique feel is better over chains. However food is good, I've been to top end restaurant that gives you more than two wholemeal roti for same price.
I don't know about you, I am finding the hospitality industry in a weird place, everything costs so much more now. I find myself cooking same or better meals at home. However, Dishoom is a great place for special occasions. Glad you tried it. 😊
I fully agree prices are rising almost to silly levels
Whilst I have not been to Dishoom, it looks way better than the majority of restaurants on Brick Lane whose food is anything but authentic and expensive.
Hi Gary, I went to the same Canary Wharf restaurant last month. It is consistently very good but I did think it was about 20% too expensive even for CW. Agree the service is very strong.
Completely agree with you Harry
It looks really nice, Gary. Paying a higher price brings higher expectations with restaurants. Nice as it looks, you can't beat a good family run Indian restaurant. I'd recommend visiting Brunel Raj in Clifton, Bristol. There are so many different restaurants in Bristol, you could try all kinds of food. Keep up the good work. 👍
Thank you Joel and I think you’re completely right 👍
C'mon, Gary, you're a foodie...it's pronounced: "Roe-tee", not "Rotty", lol. But loved this, great review again, matey, thank you so much! 😊
I never said I was good with pronunciations 🤣
Grammar police 😅😅
Enjoyed watching this! Thanks again for great content.
You’re very welcome and thank you 😊
I went down to London in november to visit my friend and we decided to try Dishoom. The food and service was absolutely oustanding from our experience, expensive yes but definitely worth going at least once. Great video Gary 👍
Thank you Jack I have to agree, the service was outstanding
I wouldn't mind paying for that! Would you consider, putting the price of each dish on the screen when you do the final sum-up at the end? I have seen a lot of other channels do that and I think it brings value, but then again you're the boss
No problem 😉
Eating out in such fine restaurants...
We're not envious.
It's a tough job Gary, someone's got to do it. So keep 'em coming!
Haha thank you, they're not all great
Interesting video and an unusual choice of meal. I've never had a biryani without a side dish of sauce of choice, usually vindaloo. I've checked the online menu and noticed that there too beef is not available. I've yet to hear a realistic reason as to why in 95% of Indian restaurants beef has been removed from menus. Keep up the good work, it's a tough job, but someone's got to do it! 🙂
No idea and thank you for your comment 👍
gary how about u cooking us a meal in your own kitchen???
I will one day 👌
Really good review as always, keep them coming Gary! Currently drinking out my let’s give it a go mug from your website ❤
That is very kind thank you and thank you 😊
There are a lot of youtubers (if that's a word) doing restaurant/food reviews, I've seen a few of them and, frankly, Gary (and his long suffering cameraman, do they get to eat ?) should be considering teaching an online course in how to do it properly. Another excellent review which appeals to me, my wife and kids. Dishooms here we come (once we've won the lottery)
Thank you Glyn, you’re wife and children for watching it’s really appreciated and a very nice comment 👍
Love your channel Gary! Love Dishoom even as a curry lover who lives in Brum and has hundreds to choose from they are up there with the best Indian food I’ve eaten. As you say always a great service and atmosphere. Look forward to your further videos up in Brum!
Thank you so much. I've done a few in Birmingham, not sure if you've seen. I love my curries so this is the channel for you!
Ur gonna need the gym after all these reviews lol
Definitely 😳
All the food looked amazing, thank you Gary for the review and well done Dishoom 👏 as for the ‘bread’ choice my go to is Chapatti’s 👍
Good choice and thank you 😊
As always Gary, a fair honest review.
I’ve been to Dishoom, once when it first opened in 2014 and once last year.
Both times were for brunch; I’d recommend you try this.
Unique twist on breakfast items and chai is free refills.
IMO - if the biriyani didn’t come with complimentary raita then that’s a bit pricey.
Good stuff!
Thank you really appreciated
Brilliant reviews mate, keep up the quality content, you can tell you love what you are doing!
Very kind I really enjoy doing the reviews 😊
Great vid, Gaz.
Can you add Frankie and Bennys to your list please? I last went about 12 years ago and it was absolutely terrible. Be interested to see if its improved (i suspect not)
Still 💩 I’m afraid 😂
That doesn’t sound very promising
Hi Gary, interior looks pretty good. Nice bar. Looks like someone went all Van Gogh 'Starry Night' on the glass behind you. I have to batter up and fry some okra. Never had it that way. Looks good. Yes, that's what we all want in a chilli - one that can 'calm down' ! Gary, this was a very good episode featuring a pretty good restaurant. Thank you for giving us a seat at your table ! All the best, my friend ! If I can't live the life of Riley, I'm glad that you can !
A lovely comment and it’s really appreciated thank you so much 😊
I heard you at the beginning saying your working up to a phall, I can’t wait for that episode, as always I love every food review you do keep up the great work you do 👊👏🙌😉
So nice of you Jim. Coming soon!
Good review Gary 👍 I thought 8.5 too as you was running through the dishes at the end, For me, I would probably of chosen different dishes to try,but what you had looked pretty well presented and cooked/seasoned,Seemed a nice place for a bit of a treat.Cheers 👍
You are welcome Mark and thank you for commenting 👍
As usual, another great review. Never had okra, but want to try it ! Biriani looked lovely! Going to make Hubby Joe firecracker potatoes tonight to go with his chicken dhansak! I’ve got to ‘give it a go’. Thanks Gary!!! More thought inducing recipes for me!
Please do give Okra a go
This makes me realise I'll have to visit the Dishoom. I have their cookery book, but ive never been to the restaurant.
Another great review👍🏼
The food looked good there, nicely presented and decent portions.
Got to be naan for me, just better for mopping up sauce!
Did The Camerman get to munch as well? 😄
Thank you and he did Warren, getting out of hand if you ask me 😳
@@GaryEats
Can't have that! Need a trim Cameraman to keep up with you😄
Hi Gary, nice review. We’ve been to the London Dishoom’s quite a few times but not the Canary Wharf one (yet). Looks great. Regarding the price etc…personally, if you think what you had was almost ok for two people then that is a real plus really and needs to be factored in. A £40 meal for two has to be pretty good I’d say especially given the lovely setting, great service etc. Big tick from me. Great review as always Gary, me and the wife are big fans. 👍
A lovely comment thank you regards to both yourself and your wife 😊
Went to the Manchester Dishoom for lunch yesterday on the back of this review and it was excellent!
Really great spicing and presentation - and quite different from the typical Pakistani/Bangladeshi curry house fare.
All the staff were delightful and the place itself is fun and quirky. Had three starters, 2 mains, rice, garlic naan and 4 beers and - with service - the bill was £100 for two.
I know some might think that pricy but it just depends what value you put on quality, and if you see eating out as an experience rather than just filling your belly.
Thanks again!
p-s - it was packed on a cold, wet Tuesday lunchtime whilst all the restaurants around it were dead. Gotta tell you something eh?
That’s so good to hear and it’s a very popular restaurant chain for sure
Great review Gary. You gave it a go.
Thanks Keith. All the best mate
Looked lovely Gary. I’ve only had Biryani a few times from take aways and once in a restaurant. The restaurant was the best Indian in Dublin a place called Pickle. The food was top drawer Indian food I’d highly recommend it. I had to book a table weeks in advance. Id give Dishroom a go ! based on your video 👍.
Thank you Kian 👍
Great review (as usual) Gary--thanks! As a couple of Yanks visiting London, we love Dishoom (we ate twice at the location farther north, within easy walking distance of our hotel--the St Pancras Rennaisance). Funilly enough, we also had the potatoes and chicken biryiani, got brussel sprounts instead of the fried okra, and naan is always better than roti lol. I do agree it's a bit pricey, but given the overall experience (high quality, trendy and lively/fun surroundings, great ambience, etc.), it's a decent value in our opinion. That being said, I know you've reviewed several Indian restaurants lately, including some you may prefer over Dishoom, at some point I'd love to see you begin to rank your favorites (by city--especially London, as that's where we tend to spend the most of our time vacationing in England) and by cuisine of course (top 3-5 Indian restaurants, top 3-5 fish & chip shops, top 3-5 roasts, etc.). Thanks and keep up the great work!
That is an excellent comment thank you, and a really great idea thank you 😊
Nice review Gary , as always I am now addicted to your reviews , Get yourself to India and experience real Indian food , start in the North , Punjab and then head to the South, you will experience a completely different style of food , just focus on street food , you will love it ! Keep it up , nice review !
I will when I get time thank you, really appreciate you watching and commenting 👍
Have always walked past this chain in London and other locations-but always heard really good things about it!
Will have to try it sometime.
Another enjoyable review mate 😀
Thank you. I did enjoy dIshoom. Really appreciate you watching Mike
That was another good review Gary, the food looked good and made my mouthwater, yes perhaps a bit pricey but having watched your review people can make up their own mind, but thank you for putting yourself through the hoop again on our behalf, thank you.
Very kind Colin very good food but a little pricey
Great Food & great review Gary, each Dish looked really nice, thanks for sharing 😊
You’re very welcome Lee thank you
Went there for the office Christmas do and I wasn’t impressed but that might be because it was sharing plates and a lot more limited. The okra fries were the best thing about it for me, and the cocktails!
That's fair enough
I have been to Dishoom in Seven Dials a couple of times for breakfast, which, as I remember, was quite decently priced. I don't know if the price varies by location, but I wouldn't be surprised if Canary Wharf was more expensive if it did.
The food is top quality and I really enjoyed it at the time, they do have a slightly different approach to their cuisine with some nice touches.
Another great review which reminds me I should try lunch there in the future. My score would have been a 9 especially based on portion size, I think one extra dish from the menu would have made that a decent meal for two. Cheers.
Thank you as always for making excellent comments it’s really appreciated 👍
The food looked very good,I think they served the Biriani with the chicken on the bottom to replicate the way it’s cooked in India.first the meat,and spices go on the bottom of a large pot on an open fire,then partly cooked rice,and often saffron water is added, then a pastry lid covers the pot,slow cooked,in fact many restaurants in NY now serve their Biriani in a bowl with a pastry lid. Raita is pronounced Ry-ta,and Roti is Row-tea.
Thanks for all the information Janet really appreciated
I've eaten here on numerous occasions because my Son lives and works on the wharf, never had a bad meal and the place comes into its own at night, yes, its a little on the dearer side for indian food, but look where you are ? the heart of the financial and banking district overlooked by some of the most expensive apartments and buildings in London, just imagine what rent and rates they must be paying for that location, Canary Wharf is fast becoming a "Go too" area for great food and a night / day out, must bare all that in mind, same goes for Soho, Hampstead, Clarkenwell, Borough Market etc etc ....... and as you say Gary, split that between two as there was more than enough for two at lunchtime, great review as always.
Thank you and a lovely comment!
The meal looked nice. Okra tends to be a bit slimey, but deep fried seemed to make a difference.
Maybe I need to check the Manchester restaurant out! Another excellent review. Thank you
You’re welcome Pauline, it’s very good but not outstanding 👍
The Okra looked amazing and if the price is on the steep side you can live with that once in a while as long as the food/experience is excellent, thanks Gary another Gem.
You’re very welcome 😉
I've never been, but I would expect to be paying a premium eating in Canary Wharf. I'm biased, as I love Indian or British Indian food, I don't think it's too heavily featured on the channel as it is at the core of British food. A good Indian, which that looked should be an assault on the senses. Visually vibrant, aromatic and well spiced. Price wise, a place like that will never be your regular curry house but for a treat, absolutely. Great, enjoyable review as always 😊PS my fav are chapatti's
a premium for eating in canary wharf ?? you mean mugged off . i wouldn't go near the place an i khow it well as i used to deliver there to several restaurant's all overpriced an over hyped .
It was a premium price and enjoyable, was it best no and better restaurants out there which I will try to find Steven thanks for commenting 👍
The food again looked delicious 😋 best food reviewer on this channel, very fair and clear and just not a food review you review the whole experience 😊❤ when you take into consideration the quality of the food this did not seem to be overpriced at all 😊 thank you for anoher enjoyable review😊❤
You’re very kind Trudy a lovely comment thank you 😊
When we visit London we occasionally go for Breakfast, my husband has the Bacon in the Nan Bread and I have the sausage and Bacon on Nan Bread without the cream cheese it is brilliant with all the flavours, you should give that a go sometime 👍
I will definitely
Great review Gary looked good for a chain.....even though high class....the Biriani looked good...price not bad considering you were in Canary Wharf and it was good service 🙂
Excellent service Graham and a good Indian 😊
I love watching your visits to Indian restaurants because that is something we never see here in the Southern States. In fact, the last Indian meal I had was over 48 years ago when I left London and moved to the US.
Which State are you in? I know Indian restaurants are popping up all over now.Bangladeshi people are now in a lot of States,and where they go there are Indian restaurants.
Thank you especially all the way from America 🇺🇸
Can we have a drumroll for the chilli sauce🤔..No tears (hurray)😊 Starters looking good👌 We knew the main had a bit of a kick to it your face never lies Gary🤣Atleast it wasn't like the last one the Stig nearly had to get a defibrillator for you then😉 The quality is defo there, but for a lunch time bit of grub🤔 pretty expensive for me anyways but everyone is different. Thanks for the review guys as always perfect🙌
He will need one very soon unfortunately 🤣
That looked lovely. I've never had okra but if I can find it at an Indian restaurant, I am going to try it! The portions did look decent and I can imagine that being a shared meal. The way the biryani was served is quite traditional; I worked for an Indian couple years ago, and used to go to their home for dinner once a month. She made biryani and the chicken was under the rice - but she turned it over onto a serving platter so you could get the chicken easily. I think her presentation was more 'home style' than restaurant. it was delicious, though! Thanks for sharing your experience! xx
As always a lovely comment Liz, I bet that was fun working for that couple as always take care and have a lovely week x
My fav Indian when I visit Edinburgh. Love their mango lassi and garlic nan. I have been all over Indian and find this restaurant is as close to authentic as it gets. Love to look down into the kitchen and enjoy excellent service.
Very nice!
Today we had lunch in the Carnaby Dishoom restaurant and ordered the same dishes that you had in your video. Even though the restaurant was very busy at two p.m., the food was delicious and the waiting staff was superb. The dining hall was not spectacular compared to other Dishoom restaurants in London but what actually left us speechless and in wonder was the amazing open kitchen on the basement, it was like a stage. Thank you very much, Gary, as we loved your dishes and the place.
Thank you that is very kind and I’m really pleased you had a great time 👍👍
I know the Dishoom restaurant near King's Cross and that is one of the most spectacular restaurants where I have been to in London. Furthermore, table service was outstanding. The food was delicious but maybe a bit too spicy for my taste. I will certainly have your rice with chicken the next time I dine there.
Give it a go!
