Dishoom King's Cross
About
Dishoom King's Cross brings the vibrant, bustling spirit of Mumbai’s iconic cafés into the heart of London. The elegant space is designed to mimic the warm, pepper-strewn interiors of a Bombay bistro, with vintage posters, brass lamps and a low-to-the-ground seating layout that creates an intimate, convivial atmosphere. Starters such as the crispy brochette and diced onion pickles set the tone for an expansive menu that raves from beloved classics like the Chicken Ruby Biryani and the Spicy Cornonak, to creative seasonal dishes such as the festive lamb rack served with treacle-glazed carrots. No matter the time of day, a steaming pot of burnt-spice chai or a cold splash of the signature nightcap, the Bombay martini, is a delightful treat. With a generous dining space and a relaxed afternoon tea routine, Dishoom is a favourite spot for casual brunches, lunch, dinner, and late-night indulgence. The café also offers a small retail section with themed gift items that capture the Dalit way. The King's Cross location lies just minutes from St Pancras Station, making it a convenient stop for travelers and locals alike.
