Dishoom Birmingham

My first time here and certainly wont be my last. From the moment we entered we couldn't fault the service, we were given a lovely table with plenty of room. Our server Joni could not have been more helpful explaining the menu and certain dishes what goes with what etc. she could not do enough to help. The food was amazing and so well cooked, fragrant and tasty. The dessert recommended by Joni was to die for absolutely gorgeous

Visited midday in the middle of the week. Quieter as expected, really good ambience and the tables were distant for privacy. It was really comfortable. Food was served hot, quickly and no fuss. Menu is easy to understand, the server made a great effort in explaining and recommending various items on the menu. Every dish was flavourful. Good portion sizes, with great vegetarian selections as well. Dishoom is consistent in its standard throughout all its restaurants in England, and never fails to impress on every visit.

Dishoom opened in Birmingham 2020. I've always wanted to try it but never had the opportunity. I'd read good reviews, heard friends say how delicious the food is, seen the decor from the outside. We visited on 19/0925. My friend invited us to have lunch with her at the well respected venue. I've got to say, it didn't disappoint. On entering, the dark panelling immediately strikes as quite imposing. The colonial-esque aesthetics gives it a lovely, old world charm, with marble tables, whirring fans overhead and large potted plants. I ordered the chefs special lamb in keema. My partner ordered a chicken salad. We didn't have to wait too long before the dishes arrived, which were exceptionally decent size. Every morsel I ate was pure lamb, succulent, tender and tasty. The bread was very large, fluffy and light. My friend said her salad bowl would feed two or three people. After the meal, I walked around the establishment and felt I had been transported to another time and place. I didn't think I was in the heart of the city. I would've given it 5, but would've appreciated a few nibbles whilst we waited. Dishoom is an exceptional place and I think I'll be returning in the near future.

Service was really good! Food delicious too.. though it would have been nice to have more buns with the pau bhaji. The tandoori lamb chops were marginally too sour for our taste. Otherwise, the decor was beautiful and felt transported to old Bombay!

The food was very tasty and fresh. The menu had many good choices. The staff were kind and served fast. The place was clean and quiet. Prices were not too high. I enjoyed the meal and would come back again. Highly recommended this place.

My partner and I recently dined at Dishoom Birmingham and, despite a few minor inconveniences, our overall experience was outstanding, largely thanks to our incredible waitress, Serena. She adeptly addressed the hiccups, ensuring our evening was nothing short of memorable. Her extensive knowledge of the menu and excellent recommendations truly enhanced our dining experience. The food was wonderful and full of flavor, making our dinner truly special. The atmosphere was vibrant, and even though the restaurant was busy, the staff were remarkably attentive and welcoming. The decor is beautifully done, paying a lovely homage to its Indian roots, adding to the overall charm. I highly recommend Dishoom Birmingham for a delightful culinary experience, exceptional service, and a warm, inviting ambiance!
