Welcome to
Dishoom Borough
With every new Dishoom, we imagine an Irani café rooted in a different chapter of Bombay's history. We then write an accompanying story – a founding myth that guides every last detail of the space. Our Borough café is no different. With Shakespeare’s Globe a short walk away, we naturally began with Romeo and Juliet. Its legendary prologue takes sonnet form, as does every stanza of another cherished text: Vikram Seth’s The Golden Gate. And so, crafting a sonnet of our own felt entirely fitting.
Set in 1950s Bombay, amid the clamour of Crawford Market, the tale follows two young lovers caught between rival families and faiths. As you glance about our Borough café, allow us to set the scene of two people who should never have looked at each other...
Food & Drink
at Dishoom Borough
BEGIN YOUR DAY at Dishoom with breakfast or brunch, which might be a Bacon Naan Roll, a Benne Dosa (with melty-cheesy-potato insides) or Cinnamon-Jaggery Pancakes. Tired heads will be happily refreshed with bottomless House Chai or perhaps a round of Bloody-Gosh Marys. Lunch lightly on a Paneer Roomali Roll and Pineapple Chaat Salad, or linger with a feast of grills and café favourites. As evening falls, Gimlets, Sours and crisp Kingfishers pour giddy from the bar. And for dinner, no quarrel can be had with a good and proper Chicken Ruby, signature House Black Daal and slow-cooked biryanis. Fill bellies. Loosen belts.
