Dishoom unveils dishes with Glasgow twist ahead of opening
Dishoom will officially welcome customers to its 'hotly anticipated' second Scottish eatery at Mandela Square on Friday, August 29. Ahead of the launch, the team at the city centre café unveiled two dishes created exclusively for Glasgow. In addition to its popular menu of Bombay comfort food, chefs at the venue revealed that they will also serve a Haggis Pau.

It is the eatery's own take on the Rob Roy; combining butter oat fat-washed Whisky, sweet vermouth, and a house-made currant and sultana liqueur, finished with honeyed oats. The bar will serve a host of cocktails, alcohol-free beverages, chai, and coolers. Pratik Sijapati, head chef at Dishoom Glasgow, said: 'We have loved creating dishes that feel right at home in Glasgow, a city with such an incredible heritage for South Asian cuisine. 'The Haggis Pau offers a playful take on a local classic, while the Lamb Chettinad tells a story of families who carried their recipes from southern India to Bombay. 'These dishes are our way of saying thank you to Glasgow for welcoming us – and we cannot wait to share them with our guests.'

Dishoom will also continue its Meal for a Meal initiative, which donates a meal to a child in need for every meal served. The café supports school meal programmes both in Scotland and abroad through partnerships with the Magic Breakfast in the UK and the Akshaya Patra Foundation in India. The Glasgow café is said to have some availability for walk-ins during its soft launch from August 18. Reservations are open for breakfast and lunch, and for groups of six or more at dinner.
