12 Upper Saint Martins Lane Covent Garden, London, West London, WC2H 9FB

Dishoom at 12 Upper St Martin's Lane in Covent Garden WC2 is the original Dishoom — the restaurant that started in 2010 and launched what became London's most commented-on restaurant group. Hardens confirms it as consistently the most-discussed restaurant in their annual diners' poll across all seven London branches. Cousins Shamil and Kavi Thakrar created a homage to the Irani cafes of Bombay — the Parsi-owned teahouses that fed Mumbai from the 1920s until they gradually disappeared. The formula is distinctive: 24-hour slow-cooked black daal, bacon naan roll for breakfast, sizzling house black pepper chicken, chilli cheese toast, unlimited chai — "a novel variation from what you get in a typical curry house," writes Hardens. The Covent Garden branch expanded in 2020 into the neighbouring former Jamie's Italian. Queues form every evening. Open from 8am daily for breakfast.
