Big news for the Dishoom faithful – the Indian restaurant chain has unveiled its biggest ever menu update since it opened back in 2010.
Brand new dishes include a Goan monkfish curry, chicken and mango salad, chicken kathi roll, chota papad poppadom puffs with mango chutney, deep fried fish amritsari, makhmali paneer, grilled greens with pineapple and sweet potato, warm aubergine chutney and masala paratha with mint, chaat masala and butter. There are also a few new puds, with a coconutty fruit crumble and orange caramel custard on the new menu.
Want more?! You got it. How about a brand new cocktail offering, with 23 new drinks, including an India Gimlet, a Bombay Bellini, Lime-leaf Collins and Bloody Gosh Mary.
The new dishes are available at all branches of Dishoom across the UK now. Speaking about the new menu, Dishoom founders Shamil and Kavi Thakrar, said: ‘Making significant changes to the Dishoom menu feels like a really big deal to us. Our recipes are a true labour of love - they take months - sometimes years - to get to somewhere where we’re really happy with them. It’s hard to say goodbye to any of them!’
The pair devised the new recipes following a trip to India: ‘Bombay, however, is a real melting pot of a city that is constantly bubbling and evolving. There are new ideas and influences each time we return. We went on a research trip to Bombay with executive chef Arun Tilak at the start of this year, and tried literally hundreds of dishes across the city. We returned brimming with ideas, and it feels like the right time to mix things up. We’re really proud of these new dishes on our menu, and hope you enjoy them too.’
Each branch of Dishoom will also have its own special dish, with the new methi lamb gosht and paratha being introduced at the site on Kingly Street in Soho, London, while a one pot lamb shank dish of rara gosht and roomali roti will be available at the Shoreditch and Birmingham locations.
