New Yorkers have spent years hearing about Dishoom, watching friends post its legendary bacon naan rolls from London and wondering when the city’s dining scene would finally get its own location. Well, the wait is almost over. Dishoom is bringing its celebrated Bombay-inspired Indian cuisine to New York City, with its first U.S. restaurant targeting a March 2027 opening in NoMad.
The London-born restaurant group is planning to open at 11 East 26th Street, near Madison Square Park. And judging by the anticipation surrounding the announcement, getting a table could become New York’s next competitive sport.
A Taste of 1960s Bombay Comes to Manhattan
Founded in London in 2010 by cousins Shamil and Kavi Thakrar, Dishoom takes inspiration from the Irani cafés that helped shape Bombay’s dining culture during the 20th century.
Its restaurants are known for atmospheric interiors, nostalgic details and a menu that celebrates Indian comfort food with plenty of personality.
Among the dishes fans will be hoping to see are the famous bacon naan roll, chicken ruby curry, creamy house black daal, gunpowder potatoes, keema pau and vada pav. The black daal, famously slow-cooked for hours, has developed something of a cult following of its own.
New Yorkers Have Already Had a Sneak Peek
Dishoom isn’t entirely new to the city. In 2024, the brand teamed up with Pastis for a highly anticipated breakfast pop-up that generated enormous demand and sold out reservations almost immediately.
The upcoming NoMad restaurant will mark the group’s first permanent location outside the United Kingdom.
NoMad’s Next Big Restaurant Opening?
With London’s restaurant scene increasingly exporting its biggest names to Manhattan, Dishoom is joining a growing wave of international dining arrivals.
The March 2027 opening is currently a target rather than a confirmed date, but one thing is clear: New Yorkers are hungry for Dishoom. And this time, they won’t need a plane ticket to London to get their fix.
