Do you take bookings?
We save most of our tables for walk-in guests, but we also accept reservations. We welcome bookings for groups of any size until 5.45pm. After this time, we only accept reservations for groups of six or more, except at our Manchester and Birmingham cafés where we continue to take bookings for tables of all sizes. All reservable tables can be viewed and reserved up to four months in advance.
Do you take large group bookings?
Absolutely. We love hosting big gatherings. Bookings of up to 16 may be made here. For larger bookings please take a look at our Group Feasting offering. If you can't find what you're looking for, email feasting@dishoom.com, and we'll do our best to help you.
My deposit wasn't taken off my bill, what should I do?
Humble apologies! Drop us an email at hello@dishoom.com along with your reservation details and a copy of your receipt. Our Finance-wallas will sort it out quickly and make sure you get your refund.
I want to cancel my large party reservation, will my deposit be refunded?
Of course. Do let us know as far in advance as possible (at least 24 hours before your booking) and we'll happily refund your deposit. Kind thanks.
How long is the queue for Dishoom?
The queue times can vary depending on the café, day of the week and time. Usually, it's around 30 minutes long, but during peak hours (estimated between 6pm–7.30pm), it might stretch to an hour. However, we'll keep you topped up with Chai (or sherry) while you wait and once inside you can enjoy a tipple or two at the bar until your table is ready.
Is there a time limit on how long we can stay at the table?
We want you to relax and enjoy your meal without feeling rushed. Typically, we suggest allowing about 1 hour 30 minutes for tables of two, 1 hour 45 minutes for groups of three to four, 2 hours for groups of five to nine, and 2 hours 30 minutes for groups of ten or more. If you need more time, just let your server know.
Can I book a table outside?
Unfortunately, we can't promise outdoor tables due to the unpredictable nature of the weather. You're welcome to request outdoor seating in your reservation notes, and we'll do our best to help. All our cafés, except Manchester and Kensington, have season-dependent seating. Dishoom Shoreditch café, on the other hand, has an all-year-round enclosed Verandah.
Can I amend my reservation party size?
Absolutely. Your booking confirmation email should have an option to amend your reservation. Alternatively, email reservations@dishoom.com, and we'll take care of it for you.
