Of grains and gratitude

Vaisakhi at Dishoom








Vaisakhi coincides with the spring harvest, and regional new year celebrations all over India. Farming families give deep thanks for the land and its crops, and express their hopes for future abundance.

It also marks the birth of the Sikh brotherhood, and remembers the Panj Pyare – the Beloved Five – who were its first, most devoted followers. Vaisakhi therefore means much to many, uniting celebrants across language, faith and community. In its honour, and to express our own gratitude at being able to offer a shared space for all at Dishoom, we add a delicious, harvest-inspired special to our café menus. Simple in preparation, but wholly comforting to all who partake of it.
