We are proud to be recognised as one of the best places to work in Hospitality. Looking after people is at the core of what we do, and we work hard to make life at Dishoom the best it can be. Since 2010, our restaurants have celebrated the Irani cafes and all of the food and drink of Bombay. We have Dishoom Cafes across London, Edinburgh, Manchester, and Birmingham. Our Permit Rooms are in Brighton, Cambridge, and Oxford, with our newest Bar-Cafe opened in Portobello this Spring! Plus, we have kitchens across London to ensure our guests can enjoy our food at home.
As well as running busy sites with large teams, we also believe in doing more—planting trees in the UK & India, tying Rakhis with guests, and helping to feed children through Meal for a Meal. Since January 2024, we have donated 20 million meals and counting, with each Dishoomwalle contributing to 55 meals per shift!
