Absolutely love Dishoom! ❤ The decor brings back the Mumbai nostalgia! Can eat their Kheema pav every day ❤

[@FoodwithChetna]

yes

[@virginiaf.5764]

The spread on your table looked delicious, but I wish I hadn't seen their deep fryers. As a restaurant professional for many years, I know oil that's gone way past it's time to change out the old oil for fresh. That was not appetizing.

[@FoodwithChetna]

ok

[@schaudhry4976]

I agree

[@OneSun11]

I absolutely agree. Oil way too dark and dirty around the fryer

[@misstrekfreak]

I go to Dishoom too when I’m missing the Parsi Café scene in Mumbai (😭) 🙏🏻

[@FoodwithChetna]

👍🏼

[@FriedOrca]

Dishoom's food is amazing! So cool to see the kitchen. An episode on Darjeeling Express popup?

[@FoodwithChetna]

[@helenjenkins9829]

Hi Chetna, you need to come to Newcastle and try Khai Khai, their broccoli dish is to die for! Happy to meet you for a meal!

[@FoodwithChetna]

[@rubusroo68]

Banquet made in heaven. Nothing beats Indian cuisine

[@FoodwithChetna]

[@TheSweettimes]

Hi Chetna, I remember trying out the ‘house daal’ from the cookbook after watching one of your videos. After that we bought the Dishoom cookbook and since then we have tried out so many of their recipes. Soo good! Finally we got a chance to eat at Dishoom last year when we were visiting London. Loved the food. Have you ever been to Chourangi? Would love to see your take on that place😊

[@FoodwithChetna]

👍🏼

[@siddarthshah1773]

All the upper caste especially bengoli brahmins woke liberals of khangress parties stationed at mumbai islamwood(bollywood) has gathered in the comment section

[@marksaleski9890]

Hi Chetna. Love this series. Would be interested to see your thoughts on Prashad in Bradford. I remember seeing them in some sort of restaurant competition years ago and it sounds like they've done quite well ever since.

[@FoodwithChetna]

Great suggestion!

[@themintleaf1778]

Nice vlog. Wish you had filmed the sweet potato chaat. Wanted to see how they make it. Amman Krupal gave a very bad review of their boneless chicken Biryani, He did not think it was spiced like a proper dum biryani. The dessert which you called cake - was it shooji Halva. The texture was like halva not a cake.

[@FoodwithChetna]

I cant film everything on their menu...... also their biryani did not taste like a dum biryani because its NOT! 😂 its berry biryani inspired by the restaurant in Mumbai. Clearly your friend didnt know what he is talking about. And that WAS cake, why would I call halva cake? I called it cake because it was a cake!

[@oilgreenproducts361]

Lovely video as usual. Wanted to know wt seeds did mawa cake hav.

[@FoodwithChetna]

poppy

[@sabinabegum4823]

I enjoy Dishoom too, and second the comment about the okra fries being fab 😋 I will deffo try the black Dahl and ruby chicken next time I'm there. @Chetna please try Zauq buffet in Birmingham, star city

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thanks

[@intrinsicinsights]

You definitely need to visit International Restaurant in Bradford..they have two sites now. Mixed grill starter is a must have and ask for their desi style chicken on the bone ..you can thank me afterwards..😋🤭

[@FoodwithChetna]

👍🏼

[@markpd81]

Fantastic reviews....keep en coming. Any real good mithai place in London you can reccomend?

[@susanford2388]

Love the House Rules. It would be quicker to say "Eat, drink, be merry, courteous & respectful to your fellow diners". Bon Appetite.

[@FoodwithChetna]

😂😂

[@darpanmehta8091]

suggest to try five rivers in Leamington Spa

[@FoodwithChetna]

[@PaulWright-o2t]

Best Indian food? My friend Surabhi. Such delicate flavours but always the gentle after heat.

[@FoodwithChetna]

I am talking about restaurants

[@sharonannmiah1097]

Thank you. I will be going there.

[@SuperAnonymous125]

Please could you review Swadish by Ajay Kumar in Glasgow. Looks amazing.

[@ifiknewthen13]

When a simple restaurant turns into a chain, they sometimes lose the authentic flavor but, maybe this is different

[@_to_-cn8wd]

You should read the Dishoom! book

[@FoodwithChetna]

why? 😂

[@_to_-cn8wd]

it's a beautiful book, full of recipes and stories about Mumbai.@@FoodwithChetna

[@debbiekeane8561]

Love Dishoon

[@FoodwithChetna]

👍🏼

[@Luke-hp3km]

Love this series! I’m a starting to think I need to visit London 🤔

[@FoodwithChetna]

haha

[@hariiyer121]

Don’t you think dishoom is over rated? Surely there are better choices

[@misstrekfreak]

I do prefer the London branches for the vibe & food to remind me of Parsi Mumbai. I go other places for South Indian etc. Not really disagreeing with you - it’s of a type that can be underwhelming for those seeking the other India spicy grub 🙏🏻

[@vicentacastillo363]

👏👏👏❤️😘

[@FoodwithChetna]

👍🏼

[@montysinghvigg]

Don't go there it's not good anymore ,I think 🤔 new waiters and chefs ruined the flavor ,It's not like before 😔,they wait for you to get tips like turkey so uncomfortable

[@FoodwithChetna]

I liked it

[@mirend9684]

I was yesterday at this restaurant in Canary Wharf....the chicken bryani and ocra are a MUST

[@noahisstarting3928]

Chutney Mary is a good place to try as well.

[@tonyburton419]

Great series - keep going please. This one - hmm, not sure - think I would prefer a good quality Bangladesh BIR. But seeing & hearing you makes all the difference - hope you do not mind. Best not tell my wife though ! LOL

[@mooo6747]

Every region of India, and regions within regions, have their own style of Biriyani.

[@sujatadutta3898]

This is one my all time fav! I’m originally from Mumbai and love the decor, the quirky photo frames & even details printed on the dishes ❤

[@mooo6747]

Even the light switches have little painted notations on them, just like in an old dusty Bombay building!

[@mooo6747]

Dishoom's food is truly some of the best Indian food I've had outside India! We were in Cambridge for a month and discovered that Dishoom has an outpost there. Not a restaurant but a kitchen where they cook and deliver through Deliveroo, so you have to order through Deliveroo. Not only is their food delicious but their packaging is beautifully designed as well. I visited one of the London locations as well, the one in Carnaby --absolutely loved the decor which reminded me of my Bombay days 35 years ago when I lived there and would go to Irani cafes. @Chetna - you were asking about other Indian restaurant recommendations in London. This isn't an Indian restaurant, but right next door to Dishoom in Carnaby is a Sri Lankan restaurant called Kolamba. The food there is to die for! It's very similar to Kerala food - you can get a lace appam with a fried egg on top, served with fish curry. It was like Kerala home food! I don't know if you want to include non-Indian (Indian-adjacent?) restaurants in your reviews but even if you don't, if you haven't tried Kolamba, don't walk, RUN to it!

[@sm8315]

Ooh lovely suggestion

[@Db-lm1qn]

This is local to me, been a few times food is good nothing wow. Service is great until something goes wrong, Eastern Europeans serving may know how to seat you and bring you food but have NO clue about customer service when something goes wrong. No manners, “she told me that’s how we do things here”. when queuing for a table the staff member did not take our name. When we returned at the time we were given we were not on the list, other customers who were seated attested to seeing us wait. The staff member who initially spoken to me completely avoided getting involved and the manger didn’t call him over even though I asked her to.

[@FoodwithChetna]

Ah interesting

[@bordaz1]

Hello Chetna, I’m a longtime subscriber that has made many of your recipes. This last week, my wife and I travelled to the UK for the first time and ate at Dishoom Carnaby….and we were stunned at the quality of the cooking. There is simply nowhere in any American city where one can eat Indian food of this quality. No wonder you’ve made two Dishoom videos! We also tried Gymkhana, and while it was a slightly better meal, the difference on the bill makes Dishoom our favorite ❤

[@FoodwithChetna]

thats great to hear!

[@shehnaazsheikhpierre9886]

It's such a pleasure to watch u taking these trips. The Tour at Dhishoom was fun. It feels like a true blue Mumbai resto. One forgets that it's in London. Thank u so much for all the effort.. You are a fantabulous presenter. When I come to London I know where to go. Looking forward to more interesting videos from u. Stay Blessed!

[@FoodwithChetna]

thanks a lot

[@DamonSlater]

Good but no where near the best

[@FoodwithChetna]

I never said it was the best.......

[@AMikhailovna]

I'd love to see you review Rasa in Stoke Newington for this series Chetna, they do the best Keralan dishes and dosas I've ever had. Love your videos and thanks for all the dinner inspo!

[@sunitajalaf4703]

So would I

[@drlessismore]

Great video. Amazing tour. Great format. Looks super yummy. Thanks for doing this for us 🙏🏼.

[@FoodwithChetna]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@fursan88]

Dear british, come to qatar for very good indian food 😊

[@the1likesaf]

Love Dishoom. If you haven’t already, you should really go to Blue Ginger in Kenton, Harrow. Absolutely amazing food.

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thanks for the tip!

[@lornasmall6516]

Hi Chetna, Vijays on Willesden’s Lane, North London they do Southern Indian food, it is one of my favourite restaurants’, it has been there for about 50 years, really worth visiting, I feel hungry thinking about it.😊

[@FoodwithChetna]

👍🏼

[@njas8126]

Hiya try chokhi dhani on nine elms lane London. I would like to see what you think of this place. The food and decor is amazing.

[@FoodwithChetna]

👍🏼

[@missragsdale]

Dishoom is one of my favorites, it's a must-visit whenever I go to London! If you're ever so far north, I had an amazing South Indian thali lunch at Tanjore in Edinburgh.

[@FoodwithChetna]

👍🏼

[@mslatif3378]

I enjoyed the video very much, the food looks delicious ! if you could add the address of this restaurant, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

[@FoodwithChetna]

you can click on the link in the decription and maybe find the address yourself?

[@vivekpawar3752]

have you tried the food at the farzi cafe london which is located in haymarket road

[@FoodwithChetna]

no

[@lakshmigali2808]

Double dishoom for the food😊

Lilly’s in Ashton under Lynn (Manchester) is a 100% veg restaurant. Really good food

Asha's at Birmingham is great. Loved this episode. Dishoom at Birmingham is amazing too!

[@FoodwithChetna]

[@Mariam-lw8ui]

Unfortunately I tried their berry biryani but felt it had no flavour in Edinburgh dishoom. Briyani should be packed with flavour and spices but the most I got from it was sweetness from the berries, couldn’t even taste the salt. Hope this review was an honest one, I know they work hard but just that dish really didn’t deliver sorry

[@FoodwithChetna]

I cant say anything about that. Maybe you should try my biryani recipe and let me know how it goes!

[@Mariam-lw8ui]

@@FoodwithChetna i honestly know yours is way nicer and packed with flavour, I've made yours before 🥰, love your recipes Chetna and your passion for cooking really shows in the food you create ❤️. Thanks for sharing all your recipes sweet and savoury

Mango in Wetherby, Yorkshire is pretty good.

[@FoodwithChetna]

[@Newman79-zg6yw]

Hey Chetna, nice video. Dishoom used to be one of my favourites, but haven’t been to one in a long time. If you come to Cambridge, do try Navadhanya..it’s brilliant!

[@FoodwithChetna]

👍🏼

[@mooo6747]

In the summer of 2022, I was in Cambridge for a month and discovered that you could order Dishoom's food through Deliveroo! I don't know if that was a temporary thing or what, but it's worth checking out. I think they have a kitchen there, not an actual restaurant.

[@Newman79-zg6yw]

@@mooo6747 delivery definitely an option in Cambridge. Unfortunately I lived just outside the city, so travelling to London was the only option

[@davidlamb760]

The Thames near Waterloo station I also tops!❤

When I lived in Glasgow in 2019, Dakhin was my favourite Indian restaurant. (Though I have to admit that my experience with Indian food is rather limited.)

[@therestaurantguru1961]

Great Video, love your energy I would suggest trying Manthan in Maddox Street, Bibi in North Audley Street, Amaya in Belgravia, Kutir in Chelsea, and last but not least, Dastaan in Ewell. Dishoom are great but any of the above would be better

[@prithvimanb]

"0:01" board on the wicket says " All Tea without opium " what is that ? British Indian humor or just decorative hindi gibberish ??!!

[@GLEX234]

Please, please add a narration over the presentations-what is on the table, some details on preparation, background on why The restaurant was chosen. For a non-Indian I’m lost and I like Indian dishes
