Since 1949, and to this very day, Bombay has been under a state of prohibition. A personal permit is required by law if one is to “continue to require foreign liquor and country liquor for preservation and maintenance of my health.” Set apart from a family room, there is a special place which has come to be known unofficially as a Permit Room. Herein liquor can be sold and imbibed, but only for the goodness of one’s health.

Teetotal Tipples

A Teetotal Tipple looks like alcohol, but does not contain one single drop. No Permit shall be required. (Mr Dhoble would approve.) See the full menu of Teetotal tipples here.

Sober Martini

Sophistication neatly executed with ginger and gentian root. Gin-like bitterness and warmth. The absence of liquor is most difficult to believe. 6.50

Virtuous Tulsi Sour

In our solicitude and zeal for abstemious guests, this peaty Whisky Sour has no whisky, nor any other spirit. Note the warming aromas of ginger, lemon, holy basil and secret botanicals. 6.50

Teetotal Monsoon Martini

With Dishoom’s totally teetotal secret spirit essence. Nobody will know that your monsoon is dry. 6.50

Dry Old-Fashioned

Smoked demerara, orange bitters, cayenne and orange peel. Fire in the throat, warmth in the belly. But no need of alcohol! 6.50

Aflatoon's Colada

For the blithe spirit of Parsi theatre. Pineapple and coconut-cream, a little coriander, chai syrup, and lime juice. Garnished with coconut flakes. Sweet and frothy. 5.50

Virgin Maidan Mojito

'Maidan' comes not from virgin but from the word for a wild place. Mint is clapped in the hands and rolled, then churned with pineapple, lime and Dishoom's secret spirit essence. 5.50

Daru-Walla Recommends

Edwina's Affair

The hush-hush love triangle of gin, rose and cardamom, in a secret garden of fresh mint, strewn with candied rose petals. Light, refreshing, captivating. 8.90

Sours & Fancies

East India Gimlet

The old-established drink devised for sailors to evade scurvy. London dry gin with Rose’s lime and a touch of celery bitters. 8.90

Cyrus Irani

Charismatic mix of lime juice, tequila and turmeric-honey lassi syrup, shaken hard and strained finely into a sours glass. Warning: wayward drinkers must seek redemption. 8.90

Chandra Bose Sour

Self-governance against the British? Volatile combination of Indian and Japanese whiskies, very dry, with dashes of plum bitters and egg-white foam. Controversial alliances and conspiracies will abound. 8.90

Dishoom Espresso Martini

Monsooned Catuai espresso, vivified with Luksusowa vodka, chilli liqueur, black walnut bitters and crema. 9.50

Sling, Coolers & Fizzes

Bollybellini

Raspberries, lychees, rose and cardamom with first-class sparkling wine. A very pretty missy.  8.20

The Kohinoor Fizz

Dishoom gooseberry syrup with lime juice and London Dry gin, a wash of Aperol, diamond fizz’d with Prosecco and cushion’d with egg white. Slips down nicely with all dishes. 8.90

Colaba Colada

Pineapple and coconut-cream classic with a Bombay twist: a little coriander, chai syrup, lime juice and two rums. 8.70

Meenakshi's Mojito

Bacardi Carta Blanca rum meets vanilla, pineapple and lime, alongside the usual mint-soda affair. Suitable for the most advanced boy or girl. 8.90

Pegs & Paanch

Viceroy’s Old-fashioned

The sort of drink in which Mountbatten may have found welcome repose. A bottle-aged muddle of Woodford Reserve Bourbon, bayleaf reduction, green tea and so on. 10.50

Sonia's Negroni

The Italian lady goes native. Equal parts of London Dry Gin, bitter Campari and Dishoom vermouth (macerated with vanilla, cinnamon and ginger). Bottle-aged for smooth tawny intensity. 10.50

Chai Paanch

Lemon shrub with Johnnie Walker Black Label, House Chai, Gosling’s dark rum, and two liqueurs: one ginger, one 80% cocoa. Clear, complicated and sweet. 10.50

Hoppy Butter Paanch

Dishoom IPA creamy foam cushions the lips. Then comes the ginger-tempered sweetness of Johnnie Walker with butter syrup base. Forget beer. Drink only this. 8.90

Liberty Punch

Liberty Punch

For a bold young nation: a magnificent sharing concoction of jaggery, lime, green tea and Ceylon Arrack, served over cubed ice in a vintage bowl. Ladle into the dainty cups and crumble in the jaggery, to taste. It would be ornamental were it not so good to drink. Wild abandon and excitement in equal measure may ensue, as such the Liberty Punch is only to be shared amongst a minimum of four people. 33.00

Sparking Wine & Champagne

Ekuò: Organic Spumante, NV, Veneto

An elegant sparkling from organic vines of Trebbiano and Garganega, grown at a trifling distance from Prosecco. Clean, crisp, balanced. Charitable giving also. 150ml/750ml 7.70 / 37.00

INT3GRAL3: Organic Unfiltered Frizzante Bianco, NV, Trento

Lively sparkles and a cloud of white flowers with dry grapefruit bite. Indigenous grapes of Glera, Garganega, Serprino and Pinella. Naturally lower in alcohol (10.5%) but mirth is likely. 150ml/750ml 8.50/39.00

INT3GRAL3: Organic Unfiltered Frizzante Rosé, NV, Trento

Peachy-pink cloudy fizz of Raboso, Marzemina, Corbinella and Turchetta. Dry fruity verve. Ask us to tip up the botal in your presence. 150ml/750ml 8.50/39.00

Gosset: Grande Réserve Brut, NV, Champagne

Bone-dry blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier with biscuit, apple and long toasty finish. From the very oldest wine-house in Champagne, the connoisseur’s choicest choice. 750ml 98.00

Edenvale Sparkling Cuvée, S.E. Australia (Alcohol-removed)

For the table, Chardonnay and Verdelho laced together, fleeting tastes of fresh apples and fragrance of white flowers. Fine bubbles whisper and fade. Elegant celebration without inebriation. 750ml 22.25

Sin Project: Natural Tempranillo, 2018, Catalonia

Affable light red with berry-cherry character and silky tannins, pairing well with spice and grilled meats. Spanish ‘sin’ is ‘without’: the entire absence of fining, filtration or misdemeanour. 10.20 / 27.40 / 39.00

Quinde Reserve: Organic Malbec, 2019, Mendoza

Enticing rose-garden bouquet. Delectation of plum, liquorice, spice and very red fruit. Pre-eminent in mellowness and refreshment. The more you have of it, the more you desire it. 10.80 / 28.80 / 41.00

Hajszan Neumann: Biodynamic Natural Zweigelt, 2019, Vienna

Maximum commendability. Zweigelt grapes (not unlike Pinot Noir) bring forth intense personality with shades of black cherry, acorn, hazelnut and spice. Pure and most wholesome to vegan and all patrons: no fining, filtering or sulphurising. 60.00

White Wine

175ml glass / 500ml carafe / 750ml bottle

All wines can be served in 125ml measures

Il Folle: Organic Grillo, 2019, Sicily

Clean bright mineral intensity with citrus and honeydew hints. Local Grillo grapes are hand-picked. Name means ‘the doolally one’— but here is a serious wine at extremely moderate terms. 6.60 / 17.60 / 25.00

EL CONVERTIDO: ORGANIC VERDEJO, 2019, CASTILLE

Vegan persons (and all others) admire this straw-gold wine for its vibrant fruit, notes of almond and balanced acidity. Tip-top. 7.40 / 19.60 / 30.00

The coolness of the Dolomites is sure to marry well with your spicy food. Classic and refreshing. One could not quarrel with a detail. 7.80 / 21.00 / 30.00

French Ambush: Viognier, 2018, Languedoc-Roussillon

Simple, elegant and pleasant, with aromas of white flowers and fresh apricot. A lover of grilled dishes and seafood. You can be satisfied. 9.00 / 23.80 / 34.00

Michael Opitz ‘Buddy Talk’: Organic Biodynamic White, 2019, Weinland

Aromatic Muskat Ottonel, Muskateller and Sauvignon Blanc grapes yield caramel, herbs, engaging fruit and softness. Modest Austrian winemaker Michael Opitz says “No tricks. Just wine.” 11.00 / 29.40 / 42.00

Bob ‘Short for Kate’: Organic Sauvignon Blanc, 2019, Marlborough

Melon, citrus, then white blossom. The loopy name has a story: this wine is an ode to the honesty and joie-de-vivre of late Kate (aka ‘Bob’). A richly expressive character. Vegan. 11.20 / 30.20 / 43.00

Edenvale Chardonnay, S.E. Australia (Alcohol-removed)

Palates be duped – this wine will not intoxicate. Australian grapes are picked, oaked, de-wined and relished abundantly. Flamboyant character with most excellent qualities of citrus fruits and hinting apples on the nose. 23.00

Hajszan Neumann: Biodynamic Natural Traminer, 2019, Vienna

Intense aromatic white has attained colour and power from red and yellow Traminer grape-skins. Divine grace with a twist of rose oil and tropical fruit. Never sigh when you can sing. 62.00
