Full description

Dishoom King's Cross recreates the atmosphere of Bombay's vanishing Irani cafés inside a striking industrial space near Granary Square, complete with ceiling fans, worn tile floors, and old photographs on the walls. The menu draws on Bombay street food and colonial-era café classics, with the bacon naan roll and house chai among its most talked-about dishes.
