Harden's says
Dishoom impresarios, Shamil and Kavi Thakrar are set to open the first London branch of their successful spin-off chain in Notting Hill's Portobello Road in Spring 2025. Known for its Indian cuisine, the new venue is expected to offer a variety of sharing plates and cocktails inspired by Bombay’s permit rooms (essentially drinking dens during 1940s Prohibition Indian style). The four storey Victorian property, formerly a gin distillery, will house this fourth branch in the formerly out-of-London chain and has taken about £2 million to get off the ground.

Our reviews are based on an annual survey of ordinary diners which runs in Spring each year. But this establishment has not yet gathered enough feedback for our editors to write it up.

For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
