At Dishoom, and all around the world, Diwali is celebrated with boundless passion. The festival of light brings people together regardless of wealth, status, race, background or beliefs – representing so much that is dear to us.
Bombay always celebrates Diwali with its whole heart. And so do we. We create festive special dishes to bring a warming glow to your day. While our annual Dishoom Diwali party, if we may humbly say, gets brighter and more brilliant every year.
Dishes to delight
Resplendent new flavours
Dishoom chef-wallas lovingly cook indulgent vegetarian feasts for you to savour – in café or at home.
Most celebratory centrepiece
Malai Kofta with Laccha Naan:– a Diwali staple in Chef Rishi’s childhood home. Warmly spiced paneer koftas, stuffed with sweet raisins and cashews. Slipped into a rich tomato curry, silky from lashings of malai (cream). Mop up with one giant buttery Laccha Naan. Take note and order wisely – many hands around the table will spark cries for ‘More!’.
Available for a limited time only: Monday 28th October – Sunday 10th November in all cafés.
Round out your feast with:
Mattar Paneer:— A steadfast and delicious vegetarian curry, beloved of Bombay families.
Chole Puri Halwa:— Chole (chickpeas), halwa (sweet semolina), pickles (which are pickles) and one giant, crackled, puffy puri. Satisfying morning, noon or night.
