Christmas at Dishoom is an abundant, joy-filled affair: awash with warmth, good humour and the very best food and drink we ever do. Our cafés twinkle in their annual finery of baubles, tinsel and lights, while our Christmas menus proudly display our Bombay-inspired festive specials (with accompanying Yuletide tipples, of course). Expect much jolliness, sparkle and merriment, and tables laden with fulsome feasts. All who join us will leave thoroughly sated – with some slightly tipsy, and others sporting rather fetching Santa hats.
For every community, eating brings people together in celebration – we are particularly good at this in India. In Bombay, the Bohra community traditionally gather around one very large plate, or thaal, while feasting. Our version of this is to bring large groups together over a palate-pleasing Christmas feast, dining from generous thaals laden with Bombay-inspired festive fare. Specials, small plates and sides are shared by everyone at the table, thereby enhancing the conviviality of old friends, colleagues, or family members coming together in the way that only a shared meal can. (Notwithstanding the most excellent, photo-inducing Santa hats that we also provide for all Christmas parties.)
Our suitably lavish Christmas feasts can be served for groups of four or more from 18th November and until 24th December and are available from £45pp (kindly note, tables of four or five must be dining from the same menu). For smaller groups, our à la carte menu boasts first-class Dishoom classics alongside ample festive specials and tipples.
An ample selection of finest gifts for the festive season are now available by way of the Dishoom Store. An eclectic and charming mix of gifts to please favoured siblings, exacting Aunties and the hard-to-buy for. From small bestowals to bountiful hampers, there’s something for all persons and purses any time of the year. From Chai Hampers and Tea Towel gift-sets to limited-edition most-festive chutneys. Bring home Dishoom signature favourites from our cafés – find House Chai, the signature Masala Dabba, our best-selling Cookery book and calming incense.
Terms & Conditions:— All menus are sample and are subject to change. Menus are priced at £47 at our London and Edinburgh cafés, and £45 at our Manchester and Birmingham cafés. For all Christmas and Dishoom Feast bookings, we ask for a £50 deposit per party to confirm your booking which will be taken off your final bill. This deposit will be automatically refunded if you need to cancel; we just ask that you give us 24 hours' notice.
Our festive feasts are served on thaals that serve multiple people, therefore, regretfully tables of four or five joining us for a Christmas or Winter Feast must be dining from the same menu (vegetarian, vegan or non-vegetarian). Should this be unsuitable, smaller groups are welcome to order our special festive dishes and tipples, alongside favourites from the all-day menu.
