Dishoom Carnaby

Dishoom at 22 Kingly Street in Soho W1 is the Carnaby Street branch of London's most celebrated modern Indian restaurant group. Hardens consistently praises Dishoom for its "outstanding Indian food and brilliant service". The concept celebrates the Irani cafes of Mumbai — the elegant, slightly faded Parsi teahouses that fed Bombay's working population from the 1920s to the 1970s before gradually closing. Dishoom's house black daal — slow-cooked overnight for 24 hours — is one of London's most replicated dishes. The bacon naan roll at breakfast is one of the most sought-after meals in the capital. The group now has restaurants across London (Covent Garden, King's Cross, Shoreditch, Kensington, Carnaby, Canary Wharf). All sites open from 8am for breakfast. Queues are a constant feature at all Dishoom restaurants.

Available for dine-in at 22 Kingly Street, Soho W1F. Walk-in and reservations. Open from 8am daily. Own website: dishoom.com.
