The Glasgow Times first reported in November last year that Dishoom had applied to Glasgow City Council for permission to combine the ground floor and basement units at 3 and 11 Nelson Mandela Place within the former A-listed Glasgow Stock Exchange building.
The unit at 11 Nelson Mandela Place was previously a Premier store while the unit at 3 Nelson Mandela Place was previously occupied by restaurant Absurd Bird.

Founded in 2010, Dishoom was designed to match the Irani cafes that were popular in Mumbai in the 1960s.
Their first restaurant opened in Covent Garden and the company now operates 10 sites across the UK between Edinburgh, London, Birmingham and Manchester.

White House confirms Donald Trump to visit Scotland next week
Speculation mounted about a potential visit of the President this month when Police Scotland confirmed it was in the early stages of planning for such an event. Speaking at a briefing in Washington DC on Thursday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed Mr Trump will be at both of his golf courses in Scotland: Turnberry in Ayrshire and Menie in Aberdeenshire; between July 25 and 29. It has already been confirmed Mr Trump will meet with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer while in Aberdeen, while plans are being put in place for the President to meet First Minister John Swinney, according to the Scottish Government. 'President Trump will travel to Scotland, where he will visit both Turnberry and Aberdeen, from July 25 to July 29,' Ms Leavitt told journalists. 'During the visit, President Trump will meet again with Prime Minister Starmer to refine the great trade deal that was brokered between the United States and the United Kingdom.'

Ahead of the visit, President Trump told the BBC that the north east of Scotland – the oil and gas capital of Europe – should 'get rid of the windmills and bring back the oil'.

John Swinney's meeting will take place despite previous criticism of Mr Trump by the First Minister, including in March, when he said an official state visit should be cancelled over Mr Trump's position on Ukraine. Trump's trip is expected to last several days and it has been reported that up to 5000 police officers will be required for security purposes. A Scottish Government spokesperson previously said: "There are plans for the First Minister to meet with the President when he is in Scotland. It is important that the opportunity to promote the interests of Scotland is taken during this visit.

Landmark industrial leases secured at Glasgow Airport
Development and asset manager Canmoor Asset Management finalised the major lettings upon the completion of two new buildings at Westway, Glasgow Airport. The UK Government has signed a long lease on Westway 200, a 202,862 sq ft unit, completed in early July 2025. Read more: 'This has been my dream': BBC MasterChef star opens new Indian restaurant This deal is believed to be Scotland's largest speculative industrial and logistics letting in three decades. Meanwhile, an 88,017 sq ft unit has been leased to Pulpex Ltd, a sustainable packaging technology company, under a 20-year lease. As announced earlier this year, the building will become Pulpex's first commercial-scale fibre bottle manufacturing facility. Both structures incorporate sustainable design, achieving BREEAM 'Excellent' and EPC 'A' ratings. The facilities are capable of operating on all-electric systems and include electric vehicle charging stations, photovoltaic panels, and air-source heat pumps. Important amenities include dedicated car parking, HGV parking, and extensive yard space, all within Westway's 24/7 fully secure environment. The deals are a significant achievement for Westway and Canmoor's speculative development programme, which strives to attract forward-thinking occupiers. With strong demand for the developments, Canmoor is continuing its commitment to speculative development at the estate.

This will feature purpose-built industrial units ranging from 20,000 to 300,000 sq ft. Joint letting agents at Westway are JLL and Colliers, and Muir Construction was the main contractor for the development.
