Bombay café Dishoom confirms first Glasgow location ahead of opening next month
Expect much-loved dishes - from Bacon Naan Rolls to House Black Daal - that have won fans across the UK One of the UK's best-loved restaurants is finally opening in Glasgow next month with plans to bring their iconic dishes to Scotland's biggest city. Dishoom will open the doors to its long-awaited Glasgow café on Friday, August 29. Taking over a 7,000 sq ft Grade A listed building on Nelson Mandela Place, once home to the city's stock exchange, this will be Dishoom's second Scottish location following the Edinburgh café, a firm favourite since opening in 2017. Each Dishoom restaurant begins with a story, grounding its design in a specific moment from Bombay's history or culture. In Glasgow, the look is rooted in a fictional narrative centred around Miss X. Miss X, the story goes, is a former covert agent from Bombay, who now runs a bustling Irani café at the bottom of the Glasgow Stock Exchange. The restaurant will be open from morning to night, with a menu that captures the spirit and soul of Bombay's cafés, grills, street stalls and homes. Chef Arun Tilak, Dishoom's Executive Chef and part of the team since 2012 where he began his journey as Head Chef at Dishoom Covent Garden, said: "Bringing Dishoom to Glasgow has long been a dream of ours. "The team has worked hard to create a space and a menu that feels authentic to Bombay while celebrating the character of Glasgow and the heritage of its South Asian community. We cannot wait to welcome our first guests through the door for shared stories and leisurely feasts." And Glasgow diners will be doing good with every visit. As part of Dishoom's Meal for a Meal initiative, for every meal enjoyed, a meal will be donated to a child who might otherwise go without. This will happen through partnerships with Magic Breakfast in the UK and The Akshaya Patra Foundation in India. To date, more than 20 million meals have been given through Dishoom's 10 other UK cafés in Edinburgh, London, Birmingham and Manchester. Just last year, food experts divulged their favourite restaurants to have brunch to The Times. Among the spots featured was Dishoom. Stuart Ralston, the chef-patron of Aizle, said it was a '"really good" breakfast and Dishoom was the only chain restaurant he'll visit in Edinburgh. Stuart also commended its quick service and popular bacon naan. Wondering when you can pay a visit? Reservations will be available for breakfast and lunch, and for groups of six or more at dinner.

Dishoom revealed opening date for first-ever Glasgow venue
Dishoom will open the doors to its 'long-awaited' Glasgow cafe on Friday, August 29. The eatery will be located in a Grade A-listed building on Nelson Mandela Place in the city centre, which was once home to the city's stock exchange. The new spot will be the brand's second Scottish location following its Edinburgh cafe, which opened in 2017. READ MORE: Glasgow restaurant's new plans after announcing closure READ MORE: New 130-seat bar to open in iconic Glasgow shopping centre We reported how work was well underway on Glasgow's new Dishoom restaurant in early July.

According to the firm, each Dishoom restaurant begins with a story, grounding its design in a specific moment from Bombay's history or culture.

7 must-try dishes at Taste of Dublin 2025
Taste of Dublin returns to Merrion Square this week, bringing together some of Ireland's most innovative, delicious and beloved food producers in one bucolic spot. Running from 12-15 June, the foodie festival features demos from chefs, oodles of stalls to shop directly from the producers and, of course, a medley of food stalls serving up lip-smackingly good grub. So if you're heading to the festival this year and don't know where to visit first, we've rounded up our pick of the dishes we simply won't be missing out on. Shaku Maku - VIP Grill, €12 This Palestinian spot always impresses with its Middle Eastern fare. But their Icon dish for this year's festival has already been singled out as exceptional, winning the Best in Taste award for 2025. It's an indulgent trio of chicken taouk, lamb kofta, and kibbeh meshwi skewers (lamb and bulgur patties stuffed with pistachios) on chilli bread, with a side of sumac-onion-parsley salad and a spicy pomegranate molasses drizzle. Big on flavour, texture and a mini feast, make this one a priority. Bar Italia - Cacio e Pepe, €7 With grey skies on the opening day of Taste, there's never been a better reason to grab a bowl of pasta. Bar Italia is an institution by now and renowned for its skilful takes on Italian classics. We'll be queuing up for a bowl of their classic cacio e pepe, a creamy dish made with lashings of black pepper and served with fresh gnocchetti - small potato gnocchi that are made in-house. The Salt Project - Burren Beef 'n' Hash Browns, €11 Focusing on 'hyper local' Irish food, with an emphasis on low waste and sustainability, The Salt Project has some of the most innovative menu items at the festival. Each one takes inspiration from a different province, spotlighting the local produce and producers from the region. Our pick, however, is the Connaught dish: slow-cooked pulled Burren beef on crispy Green Earth organic potato hash browns, finished with a summery Sásta Peach & Haba-nero drizzle. Nomo Ramen - Chahsu Croquette Dogs + Yuzu Mayo, €7 Dedicated to bringing the highest quality Ramen in Dublin, Nomo Ramen is a slightly more elevated take on ramen but still incredibly comforting food. Their ramen broth is simmered for eight hours every day, and every ingredient is laboured over. While the ramen would be a good shout on a cloudy day, we're intrigued by the Chahsu Croquette Dogs + Yuzu Mayo, made with Japanese-style braised pork belly and served with a punchy citrus mayo. Daata - House Black Daal, €7 When it comes to vegetarian options, Daata has you covered. The Pakistani restaurant has been running since 1999, specialising in authentic regional dishes. Their House Black Daal sounds especially luscious: whole urid lentils slow-cooked for 48 hours in ghee, fenugreek, tomato purée, cream, and Daata's special garam masala. It's served with pilau rice and sounds like a hug in a bowl. Chimac - Fried Pickles with Pickleback Mayo, €7 After all that eating and drinking across the festival, you might be craving something small but mighty. Enter: Chimac's fried pickles. Fried pickles are a classic American fair food, and when paired with their pickleback mayo - a vinegary, vibrant and rich addition - they become a summery snack, perfect for between big bowls of food. Bovinity - Bangers N' Mash, €7 Bovinity has gone from strength to strength since opening in 2022, winning praise for its unfussy take on a classic steakhouse. Varied cuts, sumptuous sides and exceptional beverages are all guaranteed in their Capel St restaurant. Unsurprisingly, the team has gone big for Taste this year, serving up their spin on bangers and mash: Dexter beef sausage, Dijon tear-drop peppers and creamy mash, all topped with a 48-hour bone gravy.
