Opening June 2024 in Trinity Street, the new brand from Dishoom, offering all-day food from breakfast nan rolls through to snacks and curries, plus a ready supply of cocktails and other drinks in a jolly atmosphere inspired by post-Independence Bombay.

“Very good food, and a wide selection of it” win strong (if not quite delirious) all-round backing for this outpost of the fast-growing, new chain from London’s all-conquering Indian chain Dishoom: a series of all-day cafés which provides a cut-down, more snack-y selection of dishes, all washed down with a tempting drinks list. Here it’s in the heart of the Varsity near the Great Gate of Trinity College.

For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
