Harden's says
This branch of the growing group of Indian cafés was the fourth dining venue to open in Manchester Hall, a Grade II listed building in the Spinningfields area of Manchester. It opened alongside Masons Restaurant Bar, pan-Asian restaurant Fable and Leeds-based Basque-inspired Pintura.
Harden's survey result
Summary
In a “fabulous” grade II-listed former Freemasons' lodge, this northern outpost of the upwardly rising street food chain is “the high-end Indian Manchester needed!” by all accounts; “excellent 'Wrestler’s naan'” and “there is no better biryani” – with “superb and genial” service to round out its charms.
Summary
“An outstanding addition to Manchester” – Shamil Thakrar’s phenomenal Indian street food chain is creating just as much of a stir up north, as it did in the big smoke, with its “refreshingly different, tasty and interesting” street food and “sumptuous” interior which makes “stylish use of an interesting space” (a grade II listed former Freemasons’ lodge). The “very unusual breakfast” goes down well too.

Summary
The famous bacon naan will finally hit Manchester in early December 2018 as this Mumbai-inspired chain opens in the grade II-listed Manchester Hall. This new addition has gone down a storm in Edinburgh – it will be bizarre if it doesn’t here too.
For 31 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).

Dishoom Restaurant Diner Reviews
"Great food, you always know what you are getting. - Flavoursome, fresh and on point Indian cuisine. Standard casual dining service - pleasant enough! Not over bearing but lacking detail. Water top-ups. Not the most comfortable setting, chairs are not comfortable, although the incense burning around the building smells great! Great Negronis! The broccoli salad is a sure winner and the Chicken Ruby is a staple, aromatic, full of flavour and a little heat. You want Indian food this is the place to go!"
"The Millenial metropolitans (my daughters) may have decided that it is overrated, but for me it is a wonderful experience, and the Manchester site is no different."
"A fun place to eat: an atmospheric room, where Manchester history meets something akin to an Indian stage set and produces an ambience that just works. Add to that great service and food that is well above the usual standard for this genre and you have a place we'd go back to every other week. Great biryani, fine chilli broccoli are amongst a raft of dishes worth trying. Surrounded by lunching lawyers and second and third generation Indians in a place joyfully packed on a Tuesday, we just bathed in the great atmosphere."
