We visited the Carnaby branch, which is situated by Kingly Street. IвЂ™m definitely going to be adding this one to our dinner list, especially that awesome grilled chicken. But that has brought to the inspiration and concept behind Dishoom, a very popular Indian restaurant that has taken the UK by storm. I highly recommend doubling or tripling this recipe. The actual cooking was more like an hour. It looks like a long ingredients list, but itвЂ™s mostly duplicates between the chicken and the curry, and it looks like a lot of time, but itвЂ™s just an overnight marinade. This was an awesome and really delicious curry that was mostly hands off and totally foolproof. Last but not least, the ginger garnish is really really good, donвЂ™t skip it. The deggi mirch chili powder specified in the OG recipe is just a mild variety of indian chili powder I subbed the standard (spicier) one we have at home. I also skipped the dill and kasoori methi (aka fenugreek) powder, and combined the two cardamoms into one, because I didnвЂ™t want to buy herbs & spices just for one dish. I omitted both because the cherry tomatoes I used were plenty sweet, but if you like sweetness, you might want to add a tablespoon of sugar back in. The original recipe contains sugar and honey. Indian chili powder can be pretty over the top spicy, depending on which one you use. If you do go just chicken, you might want to pull back a bit on the spice. ItвЂ™s some of the best grilled chicken вЂ“ from any cuisine вЂ“ IвЂ™ve ever had. If youвЂ™re feeling lazy, you can totally skip the whole curry part and just marinate and grill the chicken to eat with just about anything. ItвЂ™s like an even easier chicken tandoori. We had a few pieces fresh off the grill and it was mind blowingly good. We had it with homemade cheddar naan, but it would go great with just about anything: basmati rice, garlic naan, or even more chicken via DishoomвЂ™s chicken biryani (biryani is like a mixed rice). If you like butter chicken or chicken tikka masala, youвЂ™ll love this: still sweet and a total crowdpleaser, but a little more complex and satisfying and adult. ItвЂ™s like the next step in Indian curry chicken. This ruby chicken was awesome and so easy to make. Strangely however, weвЂ™ve never made what is arguably their signature dish, until now. WeвЂ™ve made many of their recipes and theyвЂ™ve all been hits. Steph and I love it there: the fun atmosphere, creative cocktails, and of course the food, which is carefully tuned to be just a little less authentic: not too spicy, not too extreme. But because the bar is set so high in London, Dishoom manages to be both really good and very accessible. ItвЂ™s also probably not at Dishoom, which is kind of like a local casual-fine chain. A lot of people think the best Indian food in the world is in London, and itвЂ™s probably true. Explore the best restaurants in London that are known for their Indian Food. My top tips from the dinner menu are the Pau Bhaji, a bowl of spiced mashed root vegetables traditionally eaten using the super soft bun itвЂ™s served with, and the juicy Masala Prawns but you canвЂ™t go wrong whatever you order.DishoomвЂ™s chicken ruby curry is everything: spicy, sweet, savory, and utterly addictive. There are a host of restaurants in London that serve up spicy Indian delicacies. For a start they even open for breakfast where you will find deliciously healthy fruit juices and delicately spiced versions of standard British breakfast staples, such as the sausage and egg naan roll and house porridge with Medjool dates along side more traditional dishes. The food is fantastic with an interesting mix of dishes you wouldnвЂ™t find in your standard curry house. The restaurant seats a large amount of people but the service is still fast and with a smile. Where no expense is spared in eye to detail, they have recreated features of the Victoria Terminus in Bombay India, with three floors with slightly different feels to them, the basement bar is dark and moody with a hint of romance and the two dining floors more have a more bustly feel which goes hand in hand with the background story of the food being an Indian/Persian fusion, reminiscent of the large amount of busy Persian cafГ©вЂ™s in India in the 1920вЂ™s. I have only ever visited the Kings Cross branch as itвЂ™s next to Granary Square (check the Granary Square article)В (a fave hangout of mine). Although technically a chain, there is something distinctly special about Dishoom.
