It’s all there and your best bet is to cover as much of the menu as possible between you. So the food, well its a fantastic Indian feast.

Whatever’s been going on in that kitchen, they really need a bit more faith in the staff there. ‘The food comes as its ready’, our waitress politely informs us, however in reality it all appears at the right time and in the right order. The menu deals in the now fashionable ‘tapas style’ which I’m sure is a restaurants way of covering its backside for timing errors in the kitchen. The service is right up there too, they kindly hand out chai to the great unwashed outside, and step up to table service once inside. Thankfully, the restaurant is immaculately presented, I wouldn’t say I was transported to the Bombay of years gone by, but its a pleasing space with an energetic buzz about the place. The theme here is the Irani café’s of old Bombay, and not having been to a Bombay café before, I couldn’t say how authentic the experience is, but after a couple of the Viceroy’s Old Fashioned’s and my senses now absolved of the stale piss outside, I’d happily tell you it hits the mark even if it looked more like KFC. Yes they don’t miss a trick here giving you just enough time to enjoy a cocktail or two before the main event. Ah yes, a plan executed to perfection.Īfter a small wait under London’s night sky with the whiff of urine both fresh and old hanging in the air, we eventually make our way inside, where we earn another wait at the bar. Currently gathering hype by the bucket full. So looking for a quick, quiet bite to eat after work, we go for Dishoom. All factors to consider when planning an evening out in the big smoke if a phone call or a quick visit online cannot guarantee you time at a table.

In the realm of no reservation dining, one should select a restaurant carefully.
