सभी का स्वागत
All Welcome
All Welcome
January is a most divisive month. For some it heralds the hopeful turning over of new leaves; for others it is a month to trudge begrudgingly through towards the promise of spring. Whichever camp you find yourself in, we have plentiful diversions to share. See them as the cherry atop your already gleeful January cake, or a welcome distraction while you await winter’s end.
We’re feeling grateful for:—
Urooj Ashfaq, a Bombayite whose debut UK tour will surely brighten up gloomy January evenings. Settle in for her sharp show Urooj Ashfaq: Oh no! at the Soho Theatre and see why she was named Best Newcomer at this year’s Edinburgh Comedy Awards. (As fellow Bombayites we were extremely proud and not at all surprised).
We’re gaining fresh perspectives at:—
Race, Indian Revolution and the Colonial Camera, a talk at London’s Paul Mellon Centre led by Sushma Griffin, an expert in the visual cultures of South Asia. Often, photography explores colonialism by capturing it in action. But Sushma will explore strange and distorted images, whose commentary is created by what is not shown. An eye-opening evening in prospect.
Celebrating the small with:—
A new book and exhibition about the impact of South Asian Miniature painting on contemporary art. Read Beyond the Page: South Asian Miniatures and Britain, 1600 to now and learn about the exquisite beauty and extraordinary impact of these ancient, small-scale paintings. Then visit the MK Gallery to see examples of miniature painting dating from the mid-16th century.
Celebrating girl power with:—
Our Choti Dishoom tote bag – created to celebrate the opening of our newest café in Battersea. This fine cotton tote is spacious and sturdy – perfect for carrying morning chai, lunch dabbas or late-night shopping – and available on the Dishoom Store now. We warmly invite you to take a look. We hope it proves both inspiring and useful for your own adventures.
Tales, tips and tricks from Dishoom's Executive Chef Arun, including his must-have kitchen item and the secret to perfect daal.
September. She brings a clean change to the air and with it a new selection of first-class recommendations for what we're looking forward to over the coming month. Take a look at what Dishoom Loves.
After a recent trip to Bombay, we scoured the streets for yet more deliciousness. Brimming with ideas, our Chefs came home with much inspiration and invigoration! In these Supper Clubs, we will be showcasing delicious newness and sharing the tastiest, most thrilling bites of them all over three sittings in late September.
On the window of Dishoom King’s Cross, we painted the iconic and resounding words of the great Rabindranath Tagore
