THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

'A love letter to Bombay told through food and stories, including their legendary black daal' Yotam Ottolenghi

At long last, Dishoom share the secrets to their much sought-after Bombay comfort food: the Bacon Naan Roll, Black Daal, Okra Fries, Jackfruit Biryani, Chicken Ruby and Lamb Raan, along with Masala Chai, coolers and cocktails.

As you learn to cook the comforting Dishoom menu at home, you will also be taken on a day-long tour of south Bombay, peppered with much eating and drinking. You'll discover the simple joy of early chai and omelette at Kyani and Co., of dawdling in Horniman Circle on a lazy morning, of eating your fill on Mohammed Ali Road, of strolling on the sands at Chowpatty at sunset or taking the air at Nariman Point at night.

This beautiful cookery book and its equally beautiful photography will transport you to Dishoom's most treasured corners of an eccentric and charming Bombay. Read it, and you will find yourself replete with recipes and stories to share with all who come to your table.

'This book is a total delight. The photography, the recipes and above all, the stories. I've never read a book that has made me look so longingly at my suitcase' Nigel Slater

Review

A love letter to Bombay told through food and stories, including their legendary black daal -- Yotam Ottolenghi

This book is a total delight. The photography, the recipes and above all, the stories. I've never read a book that has made me look so longingly at my suitcase -- Nigel Slater

There are few cookbooks that immerse you in their subject so thoroughly and so lovingly as Dishoom. Part travel guide, part history, part food manual, this reads like a personal diary with a stonking recipe collection as a bonus. I could eat the Mattar Paneer every week and I probably will, with a Chilli Cheese Toast chaser -- Lulu Grimes

Like its carefully observed, pitch perfect restaurants, Dishoom's cookbook is a feast for all the senses, and brings the restaurant's delicious dishes into the home kitchen. Every page is begging to be pored over and cooked from, each picture leaping from the page with atmosphere and generosity. It's a gorgeous thing -- Rosie Birkett

Shamil Thakrar's intimate, rich and lyrical writing and stories, alongside striking photography, takes the reader on a ride from Koolar & Co café to Marine Drive ― Daily Telegraph

A tantalising foodie tour through the highways and byways of India's largest metropolis ― Sunday Express

The results prove worth it every time, and the book is a pleasure to read ― Daily Telegraph

Over 100 comfort food recipes - inspired by Parsi, Muslim, Hindu and Christian traditions - take you from dawn till dusk, starting with breakfast and ending with dinner and a nightcap. Given the time, I'd cook every single one of them ― BBC Good Food Magazine

Dishoom: From Bombay with Love is a delightful read. Even if you're just after the secret of the bacon naan ― Caterer

These brilliant, easy-to-follow recipes are a virtual tour of the city's best eating and drinking spots -- Delicious magazine

About the Author

Dishoom serves a much-loved menu of Bombay comfort food and award-winning drinks in beautiful restaurants that each have a unique story. The first Dishoom opened in Covent Garden in 2010, and there are now five restaurants in London, one in Edinburgh, and one in Manchester. Dishoom breaks down barriers by bringing people together over food and drink: in its restaurants, at its events, and through charity (donating a meal for every meal, with 8 million meals donated so far).

Shamil and Kavi Thakrar are co-founders of Dishoom and Naved Nasir is Executive Chef. Shamil and Kavi grew up in London, but have spent many years becoming deeply acquainted with Bombay's flavours and quirks and falling in love with the city. Naved worked in various renowned restaurants in Bombay before moving to London to open Dishoom. This is their first cookbook.

Beautifully presented - Don't believe the HYPE!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 September 2019

Verified Purchase

It is a beautifully presented book. The history and photography top draw (2 stars). However the recipes are not very good. I have made the achari paneer, the prawn molee and crispy okra. Not very good at all, a waste of time and ingredients. I love the restaurant but recipes don't translate well, I am an experienced cook. If your looking for an Indian cookbook in same style of relaxed South Indian regional cooking then I recommend Vivek Singh "Spice at Home". Rick Stein "India" is still the best all rounder. If you want recipes to work which become part of your repertoire, I would recommend you take my advice. Sorry guys at Dishoom.

Initial disappointment

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 September 2019

Verified Purchase

I’d really looked forward to this book being published. It will probably appeal to a wide audience but I am unsure if I will keep the book. It’s part ode to Bombay, part cookbook. The first recipe is on page 36. For someone who cooks quickly, it isn’t easy to navigate through the book. Between every brief section of recipes there are multiple pages of travelogue and photos. For those interested in the history and culture of the city this will be of interested. I however just want to be able to access recipes quickly to cook family meals.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 September 2019

Verified Purchase

As an avid - almost compulsive - collector of recipe books, I have to say that this is a truly wonderful book. The recipes, the stories, the illustrations, the design, the aesthetic presentation, the sheer volume of information and inspiration is astounding. Dishoom - yet again you have outdone yourselves. Fantastic. Without a doubt, Rashmi Thakrar, wherever he might be, is extremely proud.

Very high quality book with amazing recipes

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 September 2019

Verified Purchase

I dont normally write a review this quickly but honestly I am so happy with this cookbook
I absolutely love Dishoom and I'm so happy that some of my fave dishes are in this cookbook (lamb chops, vada Pau and gunpowder potatoes etc.)

For me I'm just interested in the recipes themselves and not the history behind it but if I get time I will defo check it out.

I like how I've seen that some recipes it will offer an alternative e.g. 12 fresh curry leaves OR 3tsp dried curry leaves. For me, that's helpful!

The quality of the book itself is amazing as well, £20 is a lot for me to spend on a cookbook or any book for that matter but I feel like the quality of the book itself and most importantly all the recipes it has is definitely worth it.

I'm Asian myself but I am absolutely cack at cooking asian dishes but these recipes are really detailed and tell you how to make everything including any spice blends they add.

OH and a nice little thing they have towards the end are menu ideas! So for Eid or Diwali etc., gives you some inspiration on what to dishes to cook which I think is nice.

I am honestly so excited to cook all my favourites, I might finally be a decent cook :) I think I'm most excited about the chops.... the fact that I can have them whenever I want.... the dream

Truly exceptional .I do have one complaint ...no recipe for those beautiful cloud-soft rolls that accompany breakfast and chai .

Dishoom brought home across the pond

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 October 2019

Verified Purchase

Visited the Dishoom restaurant a few times when I was in London. So happy that they released a recipe book! The stories are wonderful to read and images bring the reader to the various places in Bombay.
The cooking instructions are easy to follow and they even provide vegetarian alternatives to some dishes. There is a detailed guide to the ingredients that are commonly used in their dishes along with suggestions on places to buy them.
I've already tried a few recipes already (3 different masala spices, fish dish, Naan, house black Daal, Kulfi and mixed greens) and they taste very close to the restaurant dishes themselves.
I recommend this book to anyone interested in trying a variety of Indian dishes suitable to any palate, or wishes to take a closer look being the scenes of Dishoom restaurants.

Love Dishoom and absolutely adore this cookbook. It is so beautiful (with the hoped for fantastic recipes) that I have purchased a second one. One will be a working copy that will no doubt get covered in spices and the second will be a reading and indulging in copy.

Just received my cookbook today and I am so excited to start cooking from it. What makes this book even more special are the origin stories , where each dish came from and how it became famous . Theres a section about the different new spices , aswell as Spice mixes aswell . Im so in love , thank you Dishoom for sharing these recipes and magical stories with us.
