Dishoom, a restaurant group with Bombay-inspired cuisine, is preparing to launch a new dining establishment at Battersea Power Station in South London, UK.
According to the report in The Caterer, the restaurant is scheduled to open in December 2023 and will be situated on Electric Boulevard, just outside the central power station building.
The menu of the Bombay-inspired restaurant will showcase a selection of its distinctive food offerings, including several signature items, as well as a chef’s special dish, the bhatti chicken.
Prepared by marinating in a blend of black spices, this dish is presented in both whole and half portions, served on the bone.
Additionally, the restaurant will include a Permit Room bar where guests can enjoy cocktails, chai (tea), and a variety of non-alcoholic beverages.
Dishoom Battersea’s menu also includes offerings such as a bacon naan roll, bun maska, roomali roti rolls, and an assortment of salads.
The Caterer quoted Dishoom Co-Founder Shamil Thakrar as saying, “I am a proud Londoner, and Battersea Power Station is one of those few genuinely iconic London buildings.
“When I was growing up, my father would endlessly lecture me on the importance of the power station and its provision of power for the city – I cannot quite believe we are in the fortunate position to be opening right beside it. I am genuinely thrilled.”
Drawing inspiration from the traditional Irani cafes of Bombay, Dishoom was established in 2010 in the heart of Covent Garden, central London.
Dishoom is currently strategizing an expansion to additional locations.
In 2022, the company reported a substantial 64% growth in turnover, reaching £94.9 million ($115.2 million), alongside a remarkable four-fold surge in pre-tax profits to £4.7 million.
As per information from PR agency Gemma Bell and Company, Dishoom is planning a soft launch for the Battersea restaurant, running from November 27 to December 5, 2023, leading up to the official opening on December 6.
