So as you can see, the small plates at Dishoom are pretty great and numerous. Unfortunately, there’s really only one entree for vegans, but it’s really delicious: the Rajma-Chawal. It’s a little cast iron pot (but an enormous portion) of slow-cooked and deeply spiced red kidney beans in a thick, dark red sauce, served over basmati rice and topped with fresh herbs. It’s really good, considering it’s what you’re kind of forced to order. I’m still not upset about the lack of entree options at Dishoom because these damn beans are so delicious, and because by this point in the meal I’m stuffed to the gills anyway of fried littles and random tomato cereal. What I am upset about is that the basmati rice is the only rice or bread accompaniment that is vegan-friendly. No naan here. But that’s okay when there’s a decent offering of vegan dishes at a place where all your omnivore friends will be dying to go, and that’s the best part: Not only is Dishoom the place to see and be seen, maybe, at least regarding hipsters, but it’s the perfect place for a mixed group of eaters. <\/p>\n
DISHOOM, SHOREDITCH, LONDON<\/font><\/u><\/strong>Water speed: <\/strong>Oh London, please stop it with these little tumblers that are the length of my pinky. Service: <\/strong>Decent and helpful, but they are hard to flag down because this place is always super heaving with a constantly moving crowd. Such crowd. <\/span>Bathrooms: <\/strong>There’s never a line (yay) because there are at least 5 stalls, but they have that weird England-basement-but-sort-of-also-the-camp-kitchen smell. <\/span>Food:<\/strong> <\/strong>Good, fun, spicy. <\/span>Bonus: <\/strong>It’s like being in an ad for Topshop with all those stockings and shorts combos and all those big floppy hats even at night and all those men with ironic beards and my god I’m surrounded by hipsters. <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Not that I’m an expert on what the cool kids are up to, but when a restaurant is a) in Shoreditch and b) has […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6622,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[172],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6621","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-food"],"yoast_head":"\n
