Dishoom could be opening a huge new restaurant in south London

Dishoom is continuing on its quest to supply every corner of the capital with chicken ruby, black dal and bacon naan wraps. After launching it’s all day café and hotel The Permit Room in Notting Hill in August, the Indian chain now has its sights set on a new area of London. 

Dishoom is reportedly hoping to open a new venue in London Bridge, right around the corner from Borough Market. According to Hot Dinners, the restaurant group has submitted plans to Southwark Council to open a restaurant at the Hop Exchange. According to the submitted plans, Dishoom wants to build a brand-new space in the building's West Wing, spanning two floors and a covered ‘verandah’. 

Inspired by Bombay cafés of the mid-20th century, Dishoom opened its first restaurant in Covent Garden in 2010. It has since become something of a London institution, and now has eight outposts in the capital in locations including Canary Wharf, Battersea and Shoreditch. It has more UK locations in Edinburgh, Birmingham, Brighton and more, and has just announced an expansion overseas, with a resto in the Big Apple. 

There’s been no official announcement from Dishoom about the London Bridge restaurant yet, but there is speculation that it could open by late 2026. We’ll update you when we have more information.
