At Dishoom, and all around the world, Diwali is celebrated with boundless passion. The festival of light brings people together regardless of wealth, status, race, background or beliefs – representing so much that is dear to us.
Bombay always celebrates Diwali with its whole heart. And as you will find, so do we: our festively-inspired specials bring the spirit of Diwali to our café menus, and all who visit us. While our annual Dishoom Diwali party, if we may humbly say, gets brighter and more brilliant every year.

Bold and bright café classics
For those planning to join us in the cafés to celebrate this glorious occasion, you may enjoy finest vegetarian fare. Dishoom chef-wallas will be cooking up café classics to celebrate and savour. Humble recommendations below:
Mattar Paneer:— A steadfast, humble and delicious vegetarian curry, beloved of Bombay families
Chole Puri:— Chickpeas sing with high spice and surprise black tea, with puffed puris and sweet halwa alongside. Much drama but absolute harmony
Vegetable Samosas:— Crunchy Punjabi-style shortcrust pastry, pea and potato filling warmly spiced with cinnamon. Tamarind chutney for dipping
