Dishoom Edinburgh Reviews
Terrible experience
I had high hopes for Dishoom Edinburgh, but unfortunately my visit was ruined by a combination of disappointing dishes and poor service. Atmosphere & Layout The restaurant itself is stylish, though not the easiest to navigate. The ground floor i
Popular Indian restaurant in Edinburgh
Visited based on a friend’s recommendation. Very popular restaurant chain, need to make reservations long in advance. Nice variety of Indian dishes, tried the Black Daal, biryani, naan, samosas and raita. None said spicy (and staff confirmed not sp
We literally came here twice on our one week vacation.
It was the best meal of the trip. Amazing, I have no words. Worth the wait, lives up to the hype, just go, you won't regret it. Might be best Indian meal I have ever had. We had "non-Indian food eaters" (super picky) and they found t
Attentive Service and Thoughtful Care
Great service! The staff recommended the right portions, pointed out dairy-free options, and even helped us take photos. Really appreciated!
Lovely experience
The breakfast was delicious. The waiter was very friendly and attentive. Although I had been for dinner, my husband and I didn't know what to expect of breakfast. We had the sausage and bacon naan rolls and I had the Haldi Doodh to drink . I
Terrible menu for gluten intolerance
Me and my husband came here on Saturday 20th September hoping to have a lovely meal. My husband has a gluten intolerance but we didn't think that would be a problem as we often eat Indian food without problems. We were asked twice if we had any
Amazing
Exceptional service and delicious food. Was very busy but still a nice atmosphere, would 100% recommend. I visited here multiple times during my stay in Edinburgh
More staff than customers
Was okay waiter had a lot of knowledge but food and service was slow. Loads of staff standing about with nobody taking control managers and floor staff just standing at bar.
Excellent
For a chain restaurant m, food and service was excellent. Was a little cautious as it was a chain but pleasantly surprised by the quality and taste of good. Can’t want to go back service was excellent and explained everything
As usual the breakfast/brunch was delicious.
We always enjoy the breakfast and all day menu and today was no exception. The service is friendly and efficient and the food comes out quickly. I tried the house chai with oat milk which was good though I prefer the dairy version. My husband mention

food was excellent, great service and a table without a long wait. The views of New Town was nice. Were not asked about heat levels, which was a breath of fresh air; I guess there was an expected heat level to certain foods. Ordered 2 appetizers and
Just off Prince's street.
Always busy, and the line can get long. They offer chai to those waiting. The food is, as always, absolutely delicious. I always get something to go so I can continue to enjoy the tasty food.
Great service! Unique bar area and good drink suggestions.
Flavorful Indian food with an interesting history.
Breakfast naan's to saviour
Finally experienced the breakfast naan's which were absolutely delicious. I had the sausage naan and my wife had the bacon naan. The endless cups of House Chai was also much appreciated. We'll definitely be back.
Experience Foody
I live in Dubaï the city that hosts some of the best restaurants in the world and I can say with lots of confidence that Dishoom is by far the best Indian restaurant I have ever tried.
Lovely birthday breakfast
Came to celebrate my birthday with a Dishroom breakfast. We were not disappointed - lovely food, great veggie choices, service was friendly and love the chai top ups! Made to feel special and given an unexpected birthday treat! Love coming here as we

Second Dishoom location visited (first outside of England)
Second Dishoom location visited (first outside of England) and just as mind-blowing. Tried some different stuff this time; their take on the "British breakfast" is done so well. The akuri eggs are amazingly spiced, the beans are slightly sw

We are expecting out of this world Indian because of the reviews and the long long lines to get in. The butter chicken is probably the best I've ever had and we've eaten Indian all over in our travels through Europe and the US, but the rest
Noisy and factory like atmosphere made our visit to Dishoom the first and last ever.
Very difficult to live up to the hype. The food was good, standard, indian cuisine on the mild side. That was nice. But the noice levels were horrendous both due to how seating was arranged, and with loud music in a room that totally lacked noice ca
AMAZING! Thank you!
Amazing food, amazing service, so friendly and attentive. We were well looked after, food so good. Thank you! Highly recommend.
This was the best Indian food I have ever eaten.
It was expensive, but absolutely worth it. I would eat here every week if I it was convenient to my home.
The ambience is very nice and the service is excellent.
We tried the no-hafta colada and crystal all-clear mojito mocktails and they were both so good. For food, wr started with the new keema pau and ordered blackened butterfly prawns and sheikh kebab for our meals. Everything was wonderful. Thr chutne
My husband and I are still talking about our dining
My husband and I are still talking about our dining experience from 2 months later. As soon as we began planning our trip to Scotland, immediately we made a reservation at Dishoom after hearing nothing but wonderful things. We made sure to go with em
Amazing food and ambience! A real treat in Edinburgh!
Amazing food and ambience! A real treat in Edinburgh! Convenient location. Enjoyed the bar downstairs while waiting for our table. The food is unique. Order several dishes and share.
Just came here to say that dishoom is worth the hype.
From the speakeasy style downstairs "permit club" to the black daal, the experience, top to bottom, was near perfect. Negroni and India style old fashioned to start off during our 40-minute wait. Our sever gave us a tour of the menu before
3 weeks in UK and hands down best meal!! There were 4 of us
3 weeks in UK and hands down best meal!! There were 4 of us and we got several things and shared around. Best Indian food ive ever had. The salad was so unusual... never had anything like it spicy but had mint and some crispy... would love to have it
Dishoom is always a good idea if you are in the UK.
They have several locations in London as well. Food and service is always good. Edinburgh location looked quite big with several floors and it wasn't as busy as most Dishooms', unless we just happened to come at the right time. We got se

There was a 90 minute wait on a weeknight in June and one person had to stay in waiting the whole time. They were very precise about the wait time and even gave a modification of 10 minutes to an earlier stated wait time, which was amusing. They did

AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Dishoom Edinburgh. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Dishoom Edinburgh at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Dishoom Edinburgh page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* PerceptiveWash44, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* PerceptiveWash44 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to PerceptiveWash44 for any questions Peter may have as PerceptiveWash44 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* PerceptiveWash44 now uses their connections at Dishoom Edinburgh to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If PerceptiveWash44 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, PerceptiveWash44 receives the $200 reward which is credited to PerceptiveWash44's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Dishoom Edinburgh!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
