Inspired by the glamorous era of 1940s Bombay, Dishoom Covent Garden pays tribute to the city’s iconic Irani cafés and golden age of cinema. Inside, a collection of historic photographs and vintage memorabilia lines the walls, recalling adventures from silver screen talkies and the shared spirit that defined Bombay’s melting-pot culture.
Breakfast highlights like the bacon naan roll help anchor Dishoom’s status as a destination from early morning until late evening. The menu features Bombay comfort dishes with a notable vegetarian selection, from Pau Bhaji and House Black Daal to vegan and gluten-free options. A prawn pathia, unique to Covent Garden, is described as celebratory—succulent and fiery with a tangy tomato masala, paired with soft Roomali Roti. At busier times, a queue often forms for walk-ins, but guests are offered complimentary chai while they wait, echoing the hospitality of old Bombay cafés.
