Dishoom has announced it will be opening a new restaurant in Canary Wharf this winter, marking five years on from its last London opening in Kensington in 2017.
The new 8,800 square feet site in Wood Wharf will seat 355 across a double-height restaurant, bar and terrace overlooking the water.
Dishoom Canary Wharf will join a portfolio of eight restaurants opened by cousins and co-founders Shamil and Kavi Thakrar.
Since the first opening in 2010, there are now five cafés in London, plus Manchester, Birmingham and Edinburgh.
Dishoom said that everything it does pays homage to the food and culture of Bombay and its old Irani cafés. It said this is demonstrated in the restaurants and delivery kitchens, at events, and through charity, donating a meal for every meal served. Overall, Dishoom has donated 13 million meals to charity so far.
