Back in February we featured Dishoom, the beautiful Covent Garden restaurant inspired by the faded elegance of Bombay’s 19th century cafés. This week the St. Martin’s Lane establishment has dragged itself down to the beach – well, London’s cultural Southbank to be precise – for a summer of classic Bombay street food, entertainment and their, soon to be highly in demand, ‘Golas’ – their Bombay influenced take on the slush-puppy – all taking place in the confines of their wonderfully ramshackle pop-up beach bar.
Playing on the style of their West End restaurant, but fusing it with heavy doses of sunshine, fun and frivolity, Dishoom’s updated vision of Bombay’s Chowpatty beach looks set to be one of the more enjoyable spots to spend long summer days in the capital.
