Since 2010, our “Dharma”— our reason for being — has shaped everything we do. It articulates what we care deeply about: breaking down barriers, creating beautiful shared spaces, and deepening our impact by caring for people, community and the planet. It has been a joy and privilege to grow a business in this way. Thanks to our team and guests, we’re proud to share that this approach has led to our B Corp certification. There's still much more to do, and we’re most excited for the road ahead.

Our events bring people of all walks of life together: whether it’s getting non-Muslims to celebrate Eid, and non-Hindus to celebrate Diwali, or tying Knots of Protection on each other – we believe that creating shared spaces is extremely important work.

At Dishoom, we recognise the urgent need to combat climate change and have made a good start towards decarbonising our operations as well as supporting nature-based activities. While there is much more to be done, we have managed to reduce the amount of carbon emissions per meal that you eat in our restaurants, and we are supporting some great projects outside Dishoom to remove an amount of carbon more than equivalent to those emissions.

Dishoom breaks down barriers, just as the old Irani cafés of Bombay did. When hunger is a barrier to education it also becomes a barrier to social mobility. Working with Magic Breakfast in the UK and The Akshaya Patra Foundation in India, for every meal we serve, we donate a meal to a child who would otherwise go hungry. A meal for a meal.

Looking after people is at the core of what we do and we work hard to make life at Dishoom the best it can be. We definitely don’t see ourselves as just offering jobs – we care deeply about our people and are committed to creating satisfying, long-lasting careers.
