Shamil and Kavi grew up in London, but have spent many years becoming deeply acquainted with Bombay's flavours and quirks and falling in love with the city. The two recipes below, reprinted with the permission of Bloomsbury Publishing, are among dozens of possibilities in Dishoom: From Bombay with Love. But that shouldn’t stop anybody from using their brand-new, beautifully produced cookbook. Shamil and Kavi Thakrar are co-founders of Dishoom and Naved Nasir is Executive Chef. Starting at breakfast, through to lunch, dinner and nightcaps, we share recipes for beloved dishes such as Masala Chai, the Bacon Naan Roll, Black Daal, Okra Fries, Jackfruit Biryani, and Lamb Naan, along with delicious coolers and cocktails. Dishoom Covent Garden will be closed from New Year’s Day until summer 2020 for a redesign.
Dishoom breaks down barriers by bringing people together over food and drink: in its restaurants, at its events, and through charity (donating a meal for every meal, with 8 million meals donated so far).
The first Dishoom opened in Covent Garden in 2010, and there are now five restaurants in London, one in Edinburgh, and one in Manchester. Spread everything apart from the poppy seeds and rose petals on a baking sheet.
