Reviewing the FAMOUS DISHOOM - OVERRATED OR OUTSTANDING?

After so many recommendations, I've finally managed to get to the UK's most popular Indian restaurant, Dishoom. With branches in Edinburgh, Manchester, Birmingham and 7 in London, I took a trip to Canary Wharf to see how good Dishoom is. Lets give it a go!

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.

[@GaryEats]

I agree local restaurants always, however I’m not sure the price changes evenings 🤷‍♂️

[@mattwuk]

Agreed mate

[@zatarawood3588]

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)

[@northbankgooner6126]

@@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.

[@northbankgooner6126]

@@GaryEats Ive been in the evening, a meal including drinks doesn't give you much change out of £100.

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!

That’s excellent to hear Alastair, it was very good not outstanding, but if someone else is paying then never any complaints 😊

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.

[@GaryEats]

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!

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!

[@markramsay6399]

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.

[@GaryEats]

So good to hear Mark, you’ll have to cook for me one day mate 😊

[@DamonSlater]

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.

[@GaryEats]

I enjoyed the food, wasn't the best I've had but certainly nowhere near the worst

[@GaryEats]

Thank you Gareth, the menu and prices are the same throughout the country so I’m guessing no 🤷‍♂️

[@zatarawood3588]

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)

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).

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 .

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.

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 😊

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 😊

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!!!

[@GaryEats]

Many thanks David it is worth a visit

[@mikekaraoke]

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 😀

[@GaryEats]

Thank you. I did enjoy dIshoom. Really appreciate you watching Mike

[@johnkitchen4699]

Another stunning review. I love the idea of Indian food and have periodically tried it but I am a ‘heat’ wimp. I like very mildly spiced, flavorful food. It certainly feels Dishoom would produce a meal that I could enjoy. And, as I live in Reno, I would love those prices - a lot cheaper than a meal out here. Thank you.

[@GaryEats]

Very kind John and I hope you’re all good in Reno, take care

[@caryfielder3796]

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. 👍

[@GaryEats]

A lovely comment thank you regards to both yourself and your wife 😊

[@fionacotter4287]

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!

[@GaryEats]

Please do give Okra a go

[@jeffrhorer1811]

Such beautiful colors and presentation. Looks like a solid score for the quality. Nice.

[@GaryEats]

DId enjoy it Jeff :)

[@warrenbarns2401]

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? 😄

[@GaryEats]

Thank you and he did Warren, getting out of hand if you ask me 😳

[@warrenbarns2401]

@@GaryEats Can't have that! Need a trim Cameraman to keep up with you😄

[@susandavis4821]

Evening Gary, you have made my Saturday evening! didn't think we would get a vlog tonight and then you popped up. Great! Meal looked really good great presentation.The biryani looked really appetising. I thought although it was a bit pricey well worth it! I would have given it a good 9/10 but you were the one eating it. Really enjoyed the vlog Gary as always. Can't wait for the nest one. Nice Weekend. Sue

[@GaryEats]

Hi Sue, as always thank you 😊, it was a little pricy and not top top quality hence my score, we were very close let’s say 8.75 😊

[@johngibson3837]

I was surprised Gary on score as you said liked everything, as for price you did say it would feed you and a random cameraman so that's £20 each

[@susandavis4821]

@@GaryEats That sounds good to me Gary x

[@GaryEats]

However it was very very good but not outstanding as I’ve had better Indian meals on the channel at the same price hence the score 🤷‍♂️

[@Buddybrindle]

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.

[@JanetBrown-px2jn]

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.

[@GaryEats]

Thank you especially all the way from America 🇺🇸

[@stevelondonse23]

Another very good review Gary. Glad to see quality/standards have kept up since I went a few years ago. Like you, prefer Naan to Roti (ideally Peshwari Naan).

[@GaryEats]

Thanks Steve 👍

[@richardhinchliffe1678]

That meal looked lovely gary and yes it’s expensive but it is in the heart of the city so you expect them kind of prices but once again you have nailed it once again a fantastic review

[@GaryEats]

Very kind Richard appreciate you commenting as always 😊

[@billow9721]

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.

[@GaryEats]

You’re very welcome 😉

[@carlbayley9053]

I could watch your indian reviews everyday, love them, fantastic video content.

[@GaryEats]

Glad you like them and 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 👍

[@GaryEats]

I will definitely

[@mullah4638]

Another great honest review. You are becoming a legend in the food world

[@GaryEats]

Very kind of you thank you

[@lizg5574]

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

[@GaryEats]

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

Just opened in Brighton also Love it ,Also Opened a Take away in Crouch end all same great standard, I love that its not Floating in Gee and the Curries I have had are rich in flavor and no stringy chicken bits ,

Looks brilliant with all the variety of colours - I noticed Gunpowder potato in M&S the other day though didn't look as good. I think it's worth paying the extra for quality food

[@GaryEats]

Glad you liked the look of it Matthew!

[@DavidTheViewer1]

Used to work around the corner from the Covent Garden Dishoom, and every day of the week at lunchtime there was a queue half way down the street to get in - at lunchtime! Never got the chance to go, would it be worth the long wait Gary?

[@GaryEats]

To be honest Dave no, I would go again but never queue, better local Indian restaurants out there and cheaper to be fair 👍
