What people say, in short

Dishoom draws broad support for Indian food and vegetarian choices. Individual recommendations include the veggie banquet, chicken ruby and black daal. Commenters describe it as a more dressed-up option than a basic curry cafe, and one advises booking ahead. One critic finds it too pretentious, while another stresses its Irani-cafe inspiration rather than a traditional curry-house format.
