Moving on to the main, we had Lamb Biryani (£11.50) served in a clay pot that had its lid sealed with a chapati. They went extraordinarily well with the tamarind and date chutney Dishoom provides on the side. The perfectly cooked prawns which retained their succulence and flavour were encased in a light batter with an unusual but delicious seasoning. To start, we had the Prawn Kaliwada (£6.50). Especially on warmer days, this is where you’ll want to be seated.
The restaurant’s mysterious, yet enticing entrance way, draws you in with its ivy canopy and middle eastern style patio, reminding one of a quaint Moroccan café. Each dish, taking elements from traditional Indian cuisine, has some sort of twist to make it their own. Once the pain of our first two expeditions had worn off, our third attempt was a success and we finally had a coveted table in the famous Dishoom.įor those who don’t know, Dishoom is an Indian restaurant mini-chain with five locations across London, Kensington, Kings Cross, Covent Garden and just off Carnaby Street are the others.īut this is no ordinary Indian. Dishoom’s reputation has clearly preceded it, but surely it couldn’t be THAT good. On the first two attempts, which were midweek evenings, we were told we’d be waiting up to two hours for a table to be ready, and with the queue outside curling round the corner, I don’t think they were lying. Location: 43-51 Great Titchfield Street, Fitzrovia, London W1W 7PQ.It took me three attempts to get my first table at Dishoom – Shoreditch. We'd also recommend trying one of the goji, avo or berry smoothies which contain all the superfoods you never knew you needed, including açaí purée and pumpkin seed milk. From classics such as smashed avocado and buttermilk pancakes to Israeli couscous with coconut yoghurt, the menu is lip-lickingly good. Even if the Fleabag star isn't there when you pop in, the breakfasts are worth the trip. The last time we went to Riding House Café we bumped into Phoebe Waller-Bridge so that alone is a reason to visit this London institution. Location: Rovi, 59 Wells Street London W1A 3AE Nopi, 21-22 Warwick Street London W1B 5NE.Ĭlick here to find out more. Over at Nopi in Soho, a breakfast favourite with the fashion and PR world, you can try a bowl of steaming black rice served with coconut milk, banana and mango or Singapore toast with kaya cream and pandan. And don't miss the beautiful newly designed linen napkins. Try the jalapeño cornbread, scrambled eggs, avocado and tomato or the okonomiyaki, prawns, kimchi and fried egg. Famous chef Ottolenghi has turned traditional breakfast on its head at his latest outpost Rovi.
If you think you've tasted all there is to taste for breakfast, then think again.
