What goes by the name of ‘Bombay food’ is like the city itself – cosmopolitan, colourful and, in many ways, chaotic. “The food culture of a city is very important to understand the place. I’ve never read a book that has made me look so longingly at my suitcase.” – Nigel Slater The photography, the recipes and above all, the stories.

We hope that this beautiful cookery book will transport you to our most treasured corners of Bombay. Starting at breakfast, through to lunch, dinner and nightcaps, we share recipes for beloved dishes such as Masala Chai, the Bacon Naan Roll, Black Daal, Okra Fries, Jackfruit Biryani, and Lamb Raan, along with delicious coolers and cocktails.Īs you learn to cook the Dishoom menu, you’ll also discover the simple joy of early chai and omelette at Kyani and Co., of dawdling in Horniman Circle on a lazy morning, of eating your fill on Mohammed Ali Road, of strolling on the sands at Chowpatty at sunset or taking the air at Nariman Point at night. Through the course of this eccentric and charming book you will be taken on a day-long tour of south Bombay, peppered with much eating and drinking. At long last, we’re delighted to say that we’ve written the Dishoom cookery book, with over 100 recipes for the Bombay comfort food and drink that we love.
