BE Foodies

Dishoom Kings Cross London. Dishoom lives up to the hype. On each visit for breakfast and lunch the place was packed so reservations are advised. For breakfast I had the granola fruit bowl with ginger shot. It was good. I’d rate 7.5/10.

For lunch I had the Vada Pau, a sort of slider with spicey potato patty. Amazing sharp flavors of the patty paired well with sweet fluffy bread. I also had vegetale samosas which were good as well and came with tamarind and mint chutneys. The mint chutney was the best I’ve had as it tasted of fresh mint. I’d rate 9/10. House special Black Dal was rich and velvety.

The service was attentive and professional and it was nice to see a fair number of Black hosts and servers compared to US.

Dishoom is somewhat pricey, but added to the bill is a 13% living wage fee which I respect. Breakfast came to$30 USD and Lunch $41 USD.

Dishoom is definitely worth a try if only for drinks , Chaat (Indian snacks) and lounging in the beautiful bar area.

Overall I’d rate my experience 8/10

Next stop is Afternoon Tea at Millie’s Lounge - The Ned for their collab with Crumbs & Doilies. I became a fan of these pastry chefs when I saw them compete on Great British Bake Off: The Professionals. So looking forward!
