Absolutely fantastic breakfast and chai, I am beyond happy that Dishoom is finally in Glasgow. Didn’t even bother me that I was a solo diner (I have friends ok it’s just difficult to get people on a weekday morning)

The only thing was that i was there for THREE HOURS!!! Every time I tried to wave someone down for the bill, there’d be no response. No attention. Then a server very politely said they needed the table back soon as it’s busy and perhaps would I like one last chai top up with the bill? Yes! I said. I’ve been wanting the bill I promise!!! My chai arrives but no bill. ANOTHER server comes up and says hello you’ve been here for quite a while and it’s busy so I’m really sorry can we get the table back in ten minutes? YES i respond (i’m not shouting obviously), I was told I was getting the bill but it hasn’t arrived yet. I PROMISE I WANT TO LEAVE!!!!

The bill arrives. It’s wrong. Guy says okay I’ll go fix it. Three times in a row he comes up and says “sorry, did you pay your bill?” and “oh, did I fix that for you yet?”

Naw man!!! I haven’t paid my new bill! And now it’s been half an hour since the original request.

Obviously the place is new and there are teething issues to deal with. I’m not raging. It was just hilarious and I want to assure the staff I tried really hard to get the bill and leave so many times but… I was not able to… I left satisfied but also confused and...

I visited during a 50% off promotion and faced an hour-long wait. I noticed the menu prices are quite steep—5% higher than their London menu, 15% higher than Oxford’s, and about 10% higher than Edinburgh’s, despite Glasgow being less expensive than those cities. Additionally, the 12.5% service charge was applied to the full bill, not the discounted amount. While I understand the charge is discretionary, receiving a digital bill should allow me to opt out easily instead of having to ask the waiter to remove it. I kept it because I appreciated the service, though not the food or pricing. Now, onto the service and food: Service: 5/5 - The service was excellent, everything ran smoothly. However, I was slightly irritated when the waiter claimed the dish he served was his favorite, only to hear him say the same about different dishes at two other tables. It’s hard to believe every menu item is his favorite. Food: 2/5 - I ordered Okra Fry, Black Dal, and Garlic Naan. The Okra Fry was overly salty, beyond what I could tolerate. The Black Dal was delicious, though. The Garlic Naan tasted good but half part of it was crispy, almost like papad, which wasn’t what I expected. Overall, the experience was decent due to the great service and 50% discount, but I wouldn’t return if I had to...
