Indian Lunch at Dishoom
Overview
This event is in the process of being postponed. If you were interested in booking, please add yourself to the waiting list and we will let you know once a new date has been arranged.
At Dishoom, you’ll find the food of all Bombay – its cafés, grills, street stalls, homes and everything delicious in between. Come, eat your way through the city with us, for breakfast, lunch, afternoon chai, dinner or late-night tipples. Much awaits you.
Dishes suitable for vegan diets and gluten and dairy-intolerances are available if required.
Dishoom Birmingham pays homage to Bombay's Swadeshi Market. Bombay, like Birmingham, is a city of a thousand trades. Through its markets and manufacturers, craftsmen and commerce, India forged a proud new identity built on the principle of Swadeshi (self-reliance), and gained its independence. Through the story, design and artwork of this café, Dishoom pay homage to all who laboured for India’s freedom.
Note: We are using the ‘order off the full menu’ method with this meal. Please see the Food & Meals section for more details.

Location & Itinerary
As many of you know, we usually look to work with a set price, choice menu. This makes it easier for us to collect the money in advance and then settle the bill with the venue.
We are finding more and more restaurants who we would love to include in our events programme, don’t have a set price menu, and the menu options are too varied for us to use a mid-price point, to charge everyone the same.
We tried a method where you pay a nominal fee to Spice and just pay for your food on the day but that makes it very complicated for the host.
Rather than excluding these restaurants we are using a method whereby members pay a nominal amount to Spice to book, and pre-order their food in advance, but off the full menu. We will then update each booking with the actual price and (where necessary) a service charge.
You can see their current menu using this link but bear in mind that the menu could change before our visit. We will send a link to pre-order your menu choices nearer the date of the meal.
Food will be 'dishoomed' to your table as it is prepared so is unlikely to all come out at the same time.
Dishoom is in Birmingham City Centre about 10 minute walk from New Street Station or Moor Street link, behind the Town Hall. Also easily served by the buses. Public car parks are also available.
Host & Everything Else
Member feedback from our Bombay Birmingham Breakfast in March 25
- Chris did a fab job VC'ing as always. Dishoom was lovely. I think the event was well hosted, the food good and quite unique and reasonable value. I'd consider doing it again for sure.
- As a stand alone event it was enjoyable, and I would definitely do it again. It’s a bit of a niche event so difficult to say whether value for money, but the food was excellent, the staff were attentive and I was pleased that I’d gone for an Indian breakfast rather than a more traditional bacon and sausage with a twist.
- I would certainly recommend Dishoom for breakfast. It is excellent. Should definitely be on the repeats.
- Not knowing what to have I went for the suggested "Chefs Recommendation" in the write up. It wasn't for me, being of a spicy nature. I don't think I'd repeat it on the grounds meal events are not for me, but it was good to have a morning event, rather than evening one to try one. I'm sure it would suit other people better, who like Indian food.
- The Breakfast at Dishoom was value for money. We had a nice time but only three or four people introduced themselves. We were made to feel welcome and yes I would book this type of event again. We even went to a pub after breakfast so most people made an effort. I'm not sure how the event could be improved.
