The Chicken Ruby Pie 14.90
Beloved café favourite, cleverly encased. Rich and velvety chicken makhani in flower-stamped buttery short-crust pastry. Served with creamiest garlic-dill mash and belly-warming peas. Pour the good and proper sauce. ～ Conjured with chef Calum Franklin. Finite numbers in café daily, 12–5pm, until 19th April. Ask your server to order.
Chole Puri Halwa 15.70
Where to start? Chole (chickpeas), halwa (sweet semolina), pickles (which are pickles) and one giant, crackled, puffy puri. Satisfying morning, noon or night. (V)
Chilli Broccoli Salad 14.90
Toasted pistachios and shredded mint leaves with finest, greenest broccoli, fresh red chillies, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, dates and lime. (Ve, V)
Malai Chicken Salad 15.20
Creamy charred chicken, leafy greens, sprouted beans, bulgur wheat, vegetable fiddlesticks, toasty coconut and tarty curry-leaf dressing. Brimming with zing.
Paneer Roomali Roll 12.60
Delicate handkerchief roll crisped and filled with grilled paneer, onion, peppers and green leaves. Mint chutney on the side. (V)
Chicken Kathi Roll 12.80
Flaky paratha with a fine omelette layer, wrapped all-about an abundance of chicken tikka, fresh kachumber and zingy green chutney. A most-popular street food in Kolkata. Pleasingly sating.
Vada Pau 7.20
Much loved, humble, unifying Bombay street staple. Hot potato vada, crunchy titbits and chutneys, tucked inside a soft home-made bun. Sprinkle the red spicy masala to taste. (V, S)
Bun Maska Chai 5.70
The Irani café classic. Soft bun with butter inside, to be dipped happily into the hot chai. (V)

Chote Papad With Mango Chutney 5.10
Poppadoms torn, then fried ’til crisp. Flecked with green chilli. Best dipped into home-made chutney, rich with two kinds of mango. Marries nicely with drinks. (Ve, V)

Keema Pau 11.20
Perked-up Irani café classic: earthy, aromatic minced lamb, studded with peas, distinguished with subtle dill and warming lindi pepper. Arrayed with slices of toasted, buttered pau. Buy this now and convince yourself. (S)
Chilli Chicken 11.20
Some Irani cafés now aim to please with Indo-Chinese fare. A plate of crispy garlic-ginger-soy-chilli-chicken is a modern café staple. (S)
Vegetable Samosas 7.70
Crunchy Punjabi-style shortcrust pastry, pea and potato filling warmly spiced with cinnamon. Tamarind chutney for dipping. (Ve, V)
Lamb Samosas 8.20
Gujarati filo (not Punjabi shortcrust) stuffed with minced lamb, onions and spices.
Okra Fries 7.70
Fine lady's fingers for the fingers. (Ve, V)
Chilli Cheese Toast 7.50
A nostalgia for Bombayites. Green chillies, capsicum and garlic in Cheddar melt on white sliced loaf. (V, S)
Prawn Koliwada 10.90
Bombay's Koli (fishermen) Wada (district) recipe: a bowl of delicate, crispy morsels – perfect for chutney-dipping. (S)
Pau Bhaji 8.50
An old-time favourite with lovely qualities, pre-eminently nicer than any you have sampled before. Buttery-spicy, mashed vegetables and home-made buns on a Chowpatty tray. No food is more Bombay. (V)
Dishoom House Chaat 10.50
Warm-cold, sweet-tangy, moreish. Golden-fried sweet potato covered with cool yoghurt, pomegranate, beetroot, radish and carrot. Tamarind drizzle and green chutney lift it nicely. (V)
Bhel 8.20
Cold and crunchy, light and lovely. Puffed rice, peanuts and Bombay Mix tossed with fresh pomegranate, tomato, onion, lime, tamarind, mint. (Ve, V)

First comes the marinade, then the open-air grill. Picture Bademiya in Colaba, a Bombay institution since 1942. A balmy night, with newspapers laid out on old car bonnets. You eat. Savour. Spill.
Murgh Malai 14.70
Chicken thigh meat is steeped overnight in garlic, ginger, coriander stems and a little cream. Slightly pink when fully cooked.
Charred Lamb Chops 19.90
Two chops of generous proportions lie overnight in raw papaya, yoghurt and humble spices. Blackened on the grill and finished with a thrilling Kashmiri chilli sauce. A speciality of new standing.
Dishoom Chicken Tikka 14.70
A family recipe, using a marinade of sweet vinegar, not yoghurt. Laced with ginger, turmeric, garlic and green chilli. (S)
Masala Prawns 18.20
Each one charred slightly at the edges, succulent and simple, nothing to bamboozle.
Sheekh Kabab 14.70
Minced lamb is marinated with green chilli, coriander and cumin, then grilled. (S)
Makhmali Paneer 14.20
Such simplicity. Pillows of paneer, marinated, charred and spiced gently. A flourish of fried cashews and pomegranate. Makhmali means velvety. (V)
Gunpowder Potatoes 10.50
The seduction is in the tumble. New potatoes are smoky-grilled, broken apart, tossed with butter, crushed aromatic seeds and green herbs. (V)
Saffron Cauliflower 11.20
Glowing golden, hot from the grill. Soft, buttery magnificence with warm masala tingles. (V)

Chicken Ruby 18.90
Tender chicken in a rich, silky makhani sauce. A good and proper curry redolent with spice and flavour.
Goan Monkfish Curry 19.90
Choicest monkfish simmered in creamy coconut, tamarind, tomatoes and kokum. Strewn with fragrant curry leaves. Most popular for its sublime balance of aromas. Think quality!
Mutton Pepper Fry 20.20
Finest mutton marinated in red chilli, ginger and garlic, then cooked with black peppercorns and whole spices. Robust, spicy and tender. (S)
Mattar Paneer 17.50
A steadfast, humble and delicious vegetarian curry, beloved of Bombay families. (V)
House Black Daal 11.20
A Dishoom signature dish – dark, rich, deeply flavoured. It is cooked over 24 hours for extra harmony. (V)

Slow-cooked, layered and aromatic, the Biryani traces its origins to Iran – as does the old Bombay Café. A pot is to be shared, or kept as spicy contentment all for oneself.
Lamb Biryani 21.00
Fall-apart leg of lamb bedded in a pot with buttery saffron rice, caramelised onions, rich stock and warming spices. Best with raita.
Chicken Berry Britannia 18.90
Tempting and flavourful pot of chicken, ginger, garlic, mint, coriander and rice cooked together in the Kacchi style. An homage to Britannia’s Chicken Berry Pulao, with cranberries.
Awadhi Jackfruit Biryani 17.90
Sturdy, savoury jackfruit and delicately flavoured rice, potted, sealed and cooked the traditional way. Adorned with barberries and sultanas. (V)
Steamed Basmati Rice 5.00
It means “the fragrant one”. (Ve, V)

First-class greens and other delectables.

Toasted pistachios and shredded mint leaves with finest, greenest broccoli, fresh red chillies, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, dates and lime. (Ve, V)
Grilled Greens 7.50
Grilled mangetout and Tenderstem broccoli with lively Bengali mustard dressing. Greens for choosing – not refusing! (Ve, V)
Chilli Butter-Bhutta 6.50
Corn-on-the-cob, brushed with butter and grilled over charcoal fire. Finished with chilli, salt and lime, Chowpatty style. (V)
Kachumber 6.20
A messy to-do of cucumber, onion and tomato. A little lime lifts the whole affair. (Ve, V)
Warm Aubergine Chutney 3.90
A rare embellishment of sweet and sour and spice. “Very chatpata” (or lip-smacking), says Chef, “not ordinary.” A little goes a long way. (Ve, V)
Raita 5.50
Delicate minty yoghurt, cool as a cucumber. (V)

All breads are made by hand and baked to order.
