What people say, in short
Many commenters recommend Dishoom, and a couple of them single out breakfast, though one finds dinner more hit-and-miss. One diner says the food is good, and one commenter finds queues not worth it, while another is fine waiting for hot chai. Two diners flag the service charge as extra cost, and one finds it pricey, while another argues the charge should stay unless service is poor. One commenter also objects to recommending it as a chain. Comments mention its King's Cross and Canary Wharf restaurants.
