If you’re excited, click here to skip to the recipe, otherwise, read on for some food geekiness.ĭishoom is releasing a cookbook next year, and you can be sure Steph and I will be cooking from it, but meanwhile, I found this recipe online and heavily edited it. It’s spicy if you like spiciness, and it’s just generally the greatest thing. It’s got bits of crispy rice/soccarat where the rice was slightly scorched from touching the cast iron dutch oven. It’s got layers of rice and soft perfectly cooked chicken. This version is like if chicken and rice decided to get together and try to make a lasagna. Like all great dishes of great cuisines, Biryani has multitudes of regional variations and recipes, and there is really no correct method. One of my favorite things on Dishoom’s menu is their Biryani. Dishoom is Ottolenghi for Indian food, and it’s wonderful. These tiny chains carve out a niche and fill it incredibly well in a way that everyone feels welcome. If there is one thing (food-wise) London does incredibly well, it’s their well-run fantastically designed tiny chains like Hawksmoor for steaks or Ottolenghi for Middle Eastern. They’ve got drinks, interesting food, and a great story. But Dishoom is an experience – look at that menu, there’s Chicken Tikka Rolls and Gunpowder Potatoes. It’s got fake lineups, its food is watered down, and there are probably hundreds of hole-in-the-walls that are better than Dishoom for less money. If you know Indian food, or you know London, you’re probably thinking “Two of these restaurants are fantastic and well regarded, but one is rubbish, why is it on this list?” It’s true, Dishoom is not the greatest Indian restaurant in London. Usually we’ll get a response back that goes along the lines of “are you crazy? I’m only there for 2 days” and then we’ll reluctantly pull out our A-list of top 3 restaurants you have to visit when you come to London: Harwood Arms, The Bar at Clove Club, and Dishoom. For London, we’re actually able to answer, and we always have a laundry list of restaurants we give. Among our small group of friends, Steph and I are known as that couple that foolishly spends every penny on travels just to eat, so we always get asked for restaurant recommendations on any random city someone is visiting, even if there’s no way we’ve ever been there or plan on ever going there.
