The Cut's no-bookings gastropub, what Waterloo eats before the National Theatre
Boundary Street's Bombay Irani café, the bacon naan roll Londoners queue for at breakfast
Dishoom built its reputation on faithful tribute to the Irani cafés of mid-century Bombay, and the Shoreditch room, Boundary Street, three floors, lavishly detailed in dark wood and bevelled glass, is the one most worth the trip. Breakfast is the booking the audience has heard about: the bacon naan roll, the keema per eedu, masala chai poured at the table. Lunch and dinner run a longer menu of Bombay home-cooking the chain has held a remarkable consistency on across eight London rooms. King's Cross and Covent Garden draw bigger crowds; Shoreditch is the room that feels closest to the original brief.
Breakfast walk-in only from 08:00, the bacon naan and the chai are the order. Lunch and dinner take bookings on Resy; weekend evenings hold a queue regardless. Three floors, ask for the top-floor Permit Room if you can. King's Cross and Covent Garden are the busier rooms; Shoreditch is the calmer one.
