Everyone's Favorite London Breakfast
eating my first indian breakfast at dishoom in London England
Okay, so I finally had my first Indian breakfast at Dishoom in London, specifically the Covent Garden branch, and wow, it totally lived up to the hype! For ages, I've heard everyone rave about their 'Bombay comfort food,' and let me tell you, it's not just hype – it's an experience. I was looking for a truly unique breakfast, and this spot, a London favorite since 2010, delivered on all fronts. First up, I absolutely had to try the legendary Bacon Naan Roll. Seriously, if you go to Dishoom for breakfast, this is a non-negotiable! It starts with their freshly made-to-order naan, perfectly wrapped around crispy applewood smoked bacon, and I added an egg to mine for extra deliciousness. But what truly elevates it are the unexpected additions: creamy cream cheese, a sweet and tangy tomato chili jam, and fresh coriander leaves. The mix of sweet, savory, and a hint of spice was just perfect, balancing beautifully with the smoky bacon and fluffy naan. It’s comforting, satisfying, and utterly delicious – a true breakfast masterpiece. Next, I ventured into the Kejriwal. This was another revelation! It features two perfectly fried eggs served over their chili cheese toast. The toast itself is a flavor bomb, generously spiced with a hint of chili, and the runny yolks from the fried eggs just meld everything together into a delightful, savory bite. It’s hearty without being too heavy, and the spice level was just enough to wake up my taste buds without being overwhelming. Definitely a fantastic choice if you’re looking for something a bit different from your usual egg breakfast. To wash it all down, I ordered their signature House Chai. And let me tell you, it's a wake-me-up drink! The spices were almost too intense at first, but in the best possible way. It was sweet, fragrant, and perfectly balanced the richness of the food. It’s not just a drink; it's part of the whole Dishoom breakfast ritual. Beyond the food, the atmosphere at Dishoom is always buzzing. Even early in the morning, there’s a vibrant energy that makes you feel like you're stepping into an old Bombay café. It’s a fantastic place to start your day, whether you’re alone or with friends. If you’re ever in London and craving an authentic, flavor-packed Indian breakfast, Dishoom, especially the Covent Garden location, is an absolute must-visit. Don't just take my word for it; join the legions of fans who have made it a favorite for over a decade. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you!
