Dishoom King's Cross

About Dishoom King's Cross

Dishoom King's Cross brings Bombay café culture to a gorgeously restored Victorian railway building, complete with vintage fans, dark wood, and that free chai handed out to queuers (yes, waits can stretch to an hour at peak times). Families find it works well thanks to highchairs, a decent kids menu, baby changing facilities, and reviewers noting that staff seem to enjoy looking after little ones — server Nasir gets mentioned in reviews for being "really caring" with a baby at the table. The breakfast naans are a favourite with children, especially the full Bombay and the seasonal specials with runny eggs, while the chicken ruby (a rich, creamy curry) and black daal appear on nearly every table. "Since I was with my kids, I chose non-spicy options, and it was a total success," one parent notes, adding that the mango lassi was so good they wanted a second glass. The space is tight and loud when packed, but the atmosphere stays welcoming, and reviewers report that staff have surprised birthday guests with complimentary cake. Book ahead for weekends, or arrive early for brunch.
