The Dishoom team have announced that they will be raising the curtain on their ‘New’ Dishoom Covent Garden next month.
The new restaurant is reopening at its old home on Upper St Martin’s Lane, part of the newly redeveloped series of interconnecting courtyards, The Yards. Patrons eager to get a first look at the new-and-improved café are invited to attend the Dishoom Covent Garden soft launch, which will run from Saturday December 5 to Wednesday January 20.
Executive Chef Naved Nasir’s menu of Bombay comfort food will be served from breakfast-time until late. From Bombay breakfasts to street food staples; hearty dishes of biryani to the curries of Mohammed Ali Road, and the famous grills of Colaba, the Dishoom menu brings together the food of all Bombay.
Dishoom’s award-winning cocktails, teetotal tipples, chai, coolers and more will be served from the restaurant’s Permit Room bar. Tipples created for Covent Garden include Yasmin’s Fancy, a smoky affair kindled from a potent mix of two coveted whiskies (Johnnie Walker Black Label and Ardbeg), spiced Dishoom Chai tincture, sweet vermouth and dashes of Bénédictine. The Black and Thunder Flip is a radical reduction of Thums Up (Bombay cola), nogged with egg, cream and unstinting Johnnie Walker Black Label. The third, the Ruby Royale, contains fizz of Spumante and a touch of seasonal fruit liqueur with cardamon, thyme and black pepper warmth. Finally, the Diamond Thriller Cosmo, is a classic mix of Cointreau, cranberry and Luksusowa vodka with chilli and lime shrub to induce deliciousness, flamboyance and swashbuckling.
