Emma BOMBAY café Dishoom confirms first Glasgow location ahead of opening next month
Dishoom is finally opening in Glasgow next month bringjng their iconic dishes to the city centre.
Dishoom will open the doors to its long-awaited Glasgow café on Friday 29th August, taking over a 7,000 sq ft Grade A listed building on Nelson Mandela Place, once home to the city’s stock exchange.
This will be Dishoom’s second Scottish location, following the Edinburgh café opening in 2017. (read our visit here and for breakfast here)
Each Dishoom restaurant begins with a story, grounding its design in a specific moment from Bombay’s history or culture. In Glasgow, the look is rooted in a fictional narrative centred around Miss X, a former covert agent from Bombay, who now runs a bustling Irani café at the bottom of the Glasgow Stock Exchange.
The restaurant will be open from morning to night with dishes such as Bacon Naan Rolls and House Black Daal.
As part of Dishoom’s Meal for a Meal initiative, for every meal enjoyed, a meal will be donated to a child who might otherwise go without – through partnerships with Magic Breakfast in the UK and The Akshaya Patra Foundation in India. To date, more than 20 million meals have been given through Dishoom’s 10 other UK cafés in Edinburgh, London, Birmingham and Manchester.
Reservations will be available for breakfast and lunch, and for groups of six or more at dinner. Walk-ins are welcome at any time.
