There’s nothing quite like Holi: it must be seen to be believed. During this playful spring affair, social boundaries are blurred for a few mad, magical hours.
ABOVE: Holi fun at a Dishoom event
Across India, friends pelt brightly coloured powders at one another (and unsuspecting passers-by), covering streets in glorious technicolour. At Dishoom, evoking Holi’s vibrant, barmy spirit means to do what we love most: bring people from all walks of life together to have fun, celebrate differences and – in the case of our Holi parties – fling powder paint with gleeful abandon. Our Bombay-inspired café specials add to the joviality. If you have never joined us for this madcap time of year: please do.
Dishes to delight
Colourful café classics
After a day spent getting colour-soaked comes sustenance. A comforting meal is required. Dishoom chef-wallas will be cooking up café classics to celebrate and savour. Humble recommendations below:

Chole Puri:— Chickpeas sing with high spice and surprise black tea, with puffed puris and sweet halwa alongside. Much drama but absolute harmony.
Bhang Lassi:– Available year round, or at Holi, we create a special version, infused with CBD bitters instead of the traditional bhang (cannabis!), and finished with a colourful powder-flourish.
Pau Bhaji:— A bowl of mashed vegetables with hot, buttered, home-made buns, Chowpatty style. No food is more Bombay.
