Delicious vegan breakfast - Edit
They have a seperate vegan menu. We had The Vegan Bombay and the Porridge. Both dishes were delicious, including you can get a second, third or even more portions of the porridge for the same price.

Never disappointed - Edit
I love the feel of this restaurant, it's always really busy but so worth the wait. It's like a little bit of luxury for a fraction of the price tag. Staff always so friendly and helpful with vegans and people with food intolerance etc. The bowl of greens is the best thing ever! You need to try here 😍

Taste of India - Edit
Dishoom do a lovely vegan breakfast and a great lunch/dinner menu. The food is fantastic and the chai is a must try and is unlimited early in the day. Caters for all diets and it’s absolutely great. I will be returning. Most dishes are tapas style. The decor is also lovely and dining here inspires me to catch the next flight to Mumbai.
Read morePros: Lovely decor , Unlimited oat milk chai (brunch)

Expensive for what it is - Edit
My breakfast was a naan bread with a single sausage and margarine. Not what I'd call great. Service was friendly and quick.

Good stuff - Edit
Braving COVID for one of a very small number of meals out for us these days. My wife is a huge Dishoom fan, it’s her birthday so we’re taking precautions and heading into Edinburgh. We had a booking and there were staff greeting us first outside and then just inside the door in order to stop crowding. We sat downstairs - tables well spaced apart, numbers of diners limited. Most staff good wi mask wearing, a few wi nothing at all… The menu for vegans is pretty good -
Read moreA few interesting salads, chickpea dishes. All the food was very nice , just a wee bit limited. Most of the non vegan menu could be 100% plant based and no one would notice the difference. The Dhal Makhani we make at home wi soya cream, it’s superb. No butter required. Recommend food but cmon guys #Veganuary

Christmas lunch - Edit
Enjoyed Dishoom for a Christmas work lunch. Staff were very knowledgeable and advised on options to choose alternative plates to my non-veg/ veg workmates. I enjoyed what I had but would be far easier to have a specific vegan Christmas set menu. I also had less food than my workmates but enjoyed what I had!!

Breakfast at Dishoom - Edit
We both had the sausage naan and unlimited vegan chai for breakfast. Both were really tasty. There’s a separate vegan menu on request and we found it hard to decide what to have as all the options sounded amazing!

Delicious breakfast - Edit
There are several vegan options and they are clearly thought out and not an afterthought to tick a box. The oat milk chai is amazing, the perfect blend between sweet and spicy and bottomless too, make sure to give it a try.
Read morePros: The oat milk chai, Attentive staff, Nice theming
Cons: Sometimes there are queues

Lovely Indian restaurant with vegan options - Edit
This Indian restaurant serves meat but they also have a full vegan menu (so be sure to ask the waiter).
Read moreI came here before the corona lockdown in 2019 and had a vegan breakfast called ‘The vegan Bombay’. It’s basically the vegan version of a full English breakfast and it was quite delicious. I also had the vegan chai latte and the refills are free which was nice.
I believe it’s a restaurant chain so they have restaurants in several places in the UK (like London). The one in Edinburgh was quite big so making a reservation wasn’t necessary. But I would reserve a table in London for example because it can be quite busy.
Pros: Full vegan menu available , Reasonable prices , Friendly staff and fast service

Amazing breakfast - Edit
Great service and amazing food. The vegan menu is great and the server took their time explaining the options. Be aware of the little cross contamination warning on the vegan sausage Naan roll! I had the vegan Bombay costing £13.50. It is very well presented and tasted lovely

Great food and atmosphere - Edit
Love dishoom. It may be a chain, but its a great place for a nice meal out. The vegan food is clearly marked and they do some incredible dishes (the chole puri is a must!)
Read moreThe mocktails are the best I have every had - not overly sweet. Their dry old fashioned is a particular favourite.
Also a nice place to go for breakfast, with a range of indian inspired food. Loved the oat chai and the cooked breakfast with masala beans and tofu!

Will definitely visit again when back in the area
Fresh orange juice was great 👍

Way better than expected - Edit
This is a very nice place, quite fancy looking but not super expensive. I was disappointed with the vegan menu at first because most things on it seemed like side dishes rather than mains. I ordered the gunpowder potatoes and a bowl of greens. Both dishes were absolutely delicious - way beyond my expectations. The flavours were sensational. My friend and I also shared the okra fries as a starter and they were really tasty too. It was really a perfect meal.

Amazing restaurant for breakfast, staff were awesome, really liked the decor and metal water cups.
Read moreI had the full vegan breakfast, was delicious, the scrambled tofu was the best bit, the "black pudding" was the only thing that I thought needed more flavour, everything else was great. Would definitely go back.
Pros: Separate entirely vegan menu , Great staff, Delicious food

Very impressed! - Edit
What a find! Me and my husband went for a weekend away and had breakfast at Dishoom. We both had the “vegan bombay” which was a spicy and tasty take on a fry up. The coffee was also great and the staff were attentive and very friendly. As soon as we left I googled Dishoom to find one closer to home to visit again😄

Great good and service - Edit
Gladly provided separate vegan menu on request and server was helpful in putting together a range of side dishes as the only main curry was too spicy for my companion and they serve dishes on a sharing basis. A bit more range would have been good and toilets are 2 floors downstairs from dining area which is a lot of stairs tho they did offer my disabled companion use of the lift at the very back. Would go again, very busy and a coffee order mixup at the end but overall I liked what they cook and just wish for main choices.
Read morePros: Separate vegan menu, Helpful staff
Cons: Limited vegan main dishes , Toilets a lot of steep steps 2 floors away

Favourite Indian Food Place - Edit
I absolutely love the vegan dishes they have! Tried most things of the vegan dinner menu and all were amazing. Service was very attentive and friendly and I also very much like the atmosphere in the dining room on the 1st floor. Food seems very authentic to me (although I have never been to India, so I cannot say for sure). Nice spice level too and balanced meals.
Read moreThe only pity is that of all the vegan dishes on the menu there at only two curries, both with chick peas. I hope that they will offer more in the future.
I would recommend you to avoid the very busy evening hours though, if you don't want to wait for a table outside. They don't take reservations for groups smaller than 6 people, which is not ideal.
Pros: Delicious food, Many vegan options, Vegan menu, Atmosphere, good service
Cons: No reservations below 6 people, Waiting outside during peak time (dinner)
