Dishoom Menu 2026: 15 Dishes Worth Ordering (Prices, Calories & Tips)

Updated: 22 October 2026

The Dishoom menu is an all-day Bombay café menu built around shareable plates. It runs from breakfast naan rolls and omelettes to small plates, grills, slow-cooked curries, biryanis, desserts and Indian-inspired cocktails. The whole all-day menu is halal.

If you only have time for one order, get the Bacon Naan Roll in the morning and the House Black Daal with a Chicken Ruby later in the day.

Dishoom is a UK chain, so this guide uses pounds. You will find prices, calorie figures where Dishoom or its delivery listings publish them, set-menu deals and tips on what to skip. Everything here is organised so you can jump to the part you need.

How We Verified This Menu

Menus change, so here is where the details come from:

• Dishoom’s own breakfast menu pages (Battersea and Edinburgh show identical prices) for breakfast items and prices.
• Trade press (Restaurant Online, September 2026) for the weekday set-menu prices and the Chicken Ruby and Mutton Pepper Fry prices.
• Dishoom’s Deliveroo listings for calorie figures.
• Published restaurant reviews from Time Out, the Good Food Guide and others for dish descriptions.

Prices differ slightly between London and other cities, and delivery prices can differ from dine-in. Treat every number as a guide and check the official Dishoom site or the printed menu before you order.

Breakfast: The Dishoom Menu’s Famous Start

Breakfast is a big deal here. Dishoom co-founder Kavi Thakrar has said roughly a quarter of the guests at their New York Pastis pop-up came for breakfast. Naan rolls are baked by hand, to order, in the tandoor.

Breakfast item	Price
Egg Naan Roll	£10.20
Bacon Naan Roll	£11.20
Sausage Naan Roll	£11.50
Vegan Sausage Naan Roll	£12.50
Bacon & Egg Naan Roll	£12.70
Sausage & Egg Naan Roll	£12.90
Double Bacon Naan Roll	£13.20
Wrestler’s Naan Roll	£14.30
Parsi Omelette	£11.40
The Big Bombay (or Vegan Bombay)	£16.50
Breakfast Lassi	£6.70
Breakfast Assam, pot	£4.10

1. Bacon Naan Roll

This is the dish people queue for. It is smoked streaky bacon from Ramsay of Carluke, matured the traditional Ayrshire way and smoked over applewood and beechwood, tucked into a warm tandoor naan. Ask for a little chopped green chilli on the side if you want more bite. At £11.20, it is the best first order on the Dishoom menu.

2. Parsi Omelette

A three-egg omelette with chopped tomato, onion, coriander, green chilli and a little cheese. It is lighter than a naan roll and has a gentle heat. It suits anyone who wants eggs without the bread, and the eggs are free range (St Ewe).

3. The Big Bombay

Dishoom’s version of a full English, at £16.50, with a vegan version at the same price. It is the biggest breakfast on the page, so come hungry or share. If you are on a budget, a naan roll and a pot of chai gives you better value.

4. Chole Puri Halwa

Chickpeas, sweet semolina halwa, pickles and one huge, puffy, crackled puri. The menu calls it the chef’s favourite breakfast. It is vegetarian and a good pick if you want something savoury and sweet on one plate. At Shoreditch it was listed at roughly £15.70.

5. Kejriwal

Two fried eggs on chilli cheese toast. It is simple, salty and a little spicy, and it works as a quick breakfast or a shared starter. If a naan roll feels too heavy, this is the lighter egg option.

Small Plates and Street Food

Dishoom is built for sharing. Order two or three small plates to start and the table fills up fast.

6. Okra Fries

Thin, crisp okra, vegan and vegetarian, listed at around £7.70 in Shoreditch. Reviewers keep telling people to order them, and they are right. They are the easiest small plate to share and a good first pick if you are nervous about spice.

7. Keema Pau

Minced lamb with peas, dill and lindi pepper, served with toasted, buttered pau (soft Bombay buns). Expect a rich, savoury mix you scoop up by hand. It was listed at roughly £11.20 at Shoreditch.

8. Vada Pau

Spiced potato fritter in a soft bun, often described as Bombay’s answer to the chip butty. It is filling and cheap by Dishoom standards. Pair it with a lassi or chai.

9. Chilli Chicken

Crispy chicken with a garlic, ginger, soy and chilli glaze, around £11.20 at Shoreditch. It is the spiciest of the small plates and the one to order if you like heat. Add raita on the side.

Grills

10. Dishoom Chicken Tikka

Chicken thigh steeped overnight in garlic, ginger, coriander stems and a little cream, then grilled. One review described the pieces as huge and succulent. It is a reliable middle-of-the-menu order for anyone who wants chicken without a sauce. Vegetarians can look at the paneer and gunpowder potato grills instead.

Curries and Biryani

11. House Black Daal

The signature dish. It is a dark, creamy lentil curry cooked for 24 hours. The Deliveroo listing shows 455 kcal, and it is vegetarian. The portion is generous enough to share between two with bread, which makes it one of the best-value dishes on the menu. Order it every time.

12. Chicken Ruby

Tender chicken in a silky tomato and butter (makhani) sauce, priced at £18.90 in the September 2026 trade report. The Deliveroo listing shows 728 kcal. It is mild and rich, which makes it a safe choice for families. Mop it up with a roomali roti, the thin “handkerchief” bread.

13. Chicken Berry Britannia

A fragrant chicken biryani, with the Deliveroo listing showing 854 kcal, the highest of the dishes on that list. It is a full meal on its own. The Good Food Guide singled out the chicken Britannia at Covent Garden as a biryani worth trying.

14. Mattar Paneer

A vegetarian curry of paneer and peas, listed at 729 kcal on Deliveroo. It is a solid pick for vegetarians who want a proper main course. Pair it with naan and a side of black daal.

15. Mutton Pepper Fry

The spice-lover’s dish, at £20.20. Mutton is marinated in red chilli, ginger and garlic, then cooked with black peppercorns and whole spices. It is one of the priciest mains, so share it, and keep a raita nearby.

Location Specials Worth Knowing

Some cafés carry dishes you will not find everywhere.

• Covent Garden: reviewers have praised a banana-leaf masala fish made with seabream fillets, marinated with ginger, garlic, black pepper and lime. Ask whether it is still on the menu.
• Glasgow: the breakfast menu includes a Haggis Pau and Cinnamon-Jaggery Pancakes.
• Leeds: the café opened in August 2026 with Leeds-only dishes and a Kohra IPA brewed with Northern Monk.

Desserts

Dessert is where Dishoom gets playful. The chocolate pudding is the classic order. At Covent Garden, a “mess” of cream, crushed meringue, strawberries, rose syrup and rose-petal conserve has been a favourite. The Dishoom IPA is even named after the first-ever dessert, the Pineapple Peppercorn Crumble. If you are full, share one dessert between the table.

Drinks

• Chai and lassi: the Breakfast Lassi is £6.70 and a pot of Assam is £4.10. Chai is the classic pairing with a naan roll.
• Beer: Kingfisher, plus the Dishoom IPA, brewed with Mondo Brewing Company.
• Cocktails: the menu includes a Dishoom Margarita, Baba’s Sesame Espresso Martini and a Summerhouse Negroni. Breakfast has its own, the Dhoble, a vodka-and-citrus drink.
• Non-alcoholic options: sharbats and alcohol-free cocktails are available.

Dishoom Lunch Deals and Set Menus

Dishoom’s first set menu, “Lunch with Promptitude”, runs Monday to Friday, 12pm to 5pm, and can be booked ahead. Both menus are designed for two people to share.

Set menu	London	Outside London	What is included
Swift Vitality	£16 per person	£15 per person	A salad (malai chicken or chilli broccoli) plus two grills
Prompt Replenishment	£20 per person	£18 per person	Small plate (vegetable or lamb samosa), a grill, house black daal and a berry pulao

Drinks, extra dishes and the optional service charge are not included. Outside London the lower prices apply at Birmingham, Glasgow, Leeds and Manchester.

Group Feasts

Dishoom runs several group menus:

• Breakfast Feast: for groups of 10 or more, served until 11.45am.
• Iftar Feast: during Ramadan, for groups of four or more, available at sunset.
• Festive Feasting Menu: a seasonal sharing menu for groups, including a vegetarian version.

Prices and dates change each year, so ask the café directly.

Vegetarian, Vegan and Dietary Options

Dishes are marked (V) for vegetarian, (Ve) for vegan and (S) for spicy. The menu has strong vegetarian choices, including black daal, okra fries, paneer dishes and the jackfruit pulao. The vegan breakfast and the vegan sausage naan roll were developed with chef Neil Rankin.

Gluten-free diners should ask the staff. A guest review from April 2026 said the newer breakfast menu offered fewer gluten-free options than before.

Dishoom Menu London

Dishoom Menu PDF

Many people search for a Dishoom menu PDF so they can read the full menu before they go. Dishoom publishes its menus on its official website, and the menu pages link to a PDF and an allergen guide.

What You Can Find in the PDF Menus

• Breakfast menu: naan rolls, egg plates, and sides.
• All-day menu: the main food list with prices.
• Allergen guide: a separate document showing which dishes contain common allergens.
• Feast menus: set menus for groups.
• Delivery menu: a shorter list of dishes that travel well.

Where to Download It

Go to the official Dishoom website, open the café you plan to visit, and choose the menu you want. Use the official page rather than a PDF from a third-party site. Old copies often show out-of-date dishes and prices.

Why the PDF May Differ from Your Café

Menus change with the season, and some cafés have dishes of their own. Prices can also differ by city. Treat the PDF as a guide and check the menu at your table.

Dishoom Menu PDF London

A Dishoom menu PDF London search usually means you want the menu for a specific London café. Each London site has its own page on the Dishoom website with its menus and allergen details.

London Cafés with Their Own Menu Pages

• Covent Garden
• Shoreditch
• King’s Cross
• Carnaby
• Kensington
• Battersea
• Canary Wharf

London Prices Versus Other Cities

Dishoom charges slightly more in London than elsewhere. The weekday lunch set menus show this clearly. They cost £16 and £20 per person in London, and £15 and £18 per person in Birmingham, Glasgow, Leeds, and Manchester. A PDF for another city will therefore show different prices.

Tips for Using the PDF

• Pick the menu for your meal time, since breakfast and the all-day menu are separate.
• Open the allergen guide as well if anyone in your group has dietary needs.
• Save the PDF to your phone, because signal can be weak inside busy cafés.
