Dishoom is a small Bombay (Mumbai)-inspired restaurant group with locations throughout the UK. Evoking the Irani cafés which were popular across Bombay in the 1960s, Dishoom was founded in 2010 by co-founders Shamil and Kavi Thakrar as well as Amar and Adarsh Radia (who both left the business in 2017). The first Dishoom café opened in Covent Garden in 2010. As of 2022, there are eight Dishoom restaurants open around the United Kingdom, with locations in London, Edinburgh, Manchester and Birmingham. In 2020 Dishoom expanded their offering, introducing the Dishoom online store to sit alongside their restaurants. Selling meal kits, preserves, signature cocktails and gifts, the Dishoom Store allows customers to order popular dishes from Dishoom restaurants to cook at home.
