Reda NafwaHad a fantastic experience at Dishoom Kensington! The food was absolutely delicious—packed with authentic flavors and cooked to perfection. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared and full of character. The service was equally impressive—polite, attentive, and efficient from start to finish. Even though the restaurant was busy, the team handled everything smoothly and made us feel welcome throughout. The overall ambiance is charming and rich with character, making the whole dining experience even more special. It’s a great place to enjoy a flavorful meal in a beautiful setting. Highly recommended—can’t wait to come back and try more from the menu!
Frank Higwanz HigginsNice place with a unique old school design. It's best to sit in the main room and not at the bar. Service was very good and extremely helpful. They also have a lot of helpful staff. Not like in some restaurants where they get into their zones and refuse to help you. That's a nice touch, they are one team and they are very efficient. The food itself was very unique. An English/ Indian breakfast fusion. Definitely worth a visit. They also do live jazz on Wednesday too Friday evening so I think I will check that out at some point!
Vivian TaLiterally everyone I've talked to about Indian food in London has told me that this place is a must-try. I truly just thought it was OK and feel that there are some local Indian places where I live that I found to be better, but what do I know? A lot of local Indians were present the night I was there so maybe I'm just not well-versed enough in Indian cuisine to be a good judge. The curries we got were good and I really enjoyed the naan. Just the perfect amount of garlic and not too oily. The mango lassis were a hit for me as well. In short, I'm not sure I was wowed enough to be willing to stand in line again for the food. I have to say though that they totally have a process down. When you first get there, you're asked to check in, and you maybe wait about 10-15 minutes outside, and then you're ushered inside the lobby to sit. If there's room immediately in the bar, they seat you there first. Once in the bar, you wait another 20-30 minutes but you're welcome to order drinks before they shift you over to your actual dining table. It's such a great and smart way to keep your customers from going mad while waiting for their table and they make more money out of it.
Toh Bee LengIt was almost full during lunch on Easter Sunday. Fantastic service, delicious food. I like it that it was spicy enough but the curries tend to be a tad creamy for the local palate. My only gripe - I find it expensive. We paid GBP80 for 3 curries, a garlic naan and a bowl of steamed basmati rice. Hip vibe.
