Indian dining sensation Dishoom now has a few locations in the capital, and the one in King's Cross is as good as any. 

Serving an incredible menu loosely-based on Irani café food with biryanis, naan rolls and one of the most incredible black daal's - a thick lentil dish cooked for a staggering 24 hours - this side of Mumbai.

So it's probably a bit unsurprising, with food this good, that Dishoom sees long queues in the evening, which is more of a reason to taste one of the best restaurants in Kings Cross on your lunch break instead. 


KERB
