I simply couldn’t get enough of them. It felt like the dish was finished way too fast and I surely still wanted more. Since the lamb chops looked a bit thin, I was worried that it might come out a bit dry but it was succulent and still had a light pink colour inside. It retained a bit of its grassy taste, which is an absolute delight. The flavours have fully soaked into the meat yet not overpowering the lamb itself.
From the description of the menu, it says they are marinated overnight ‘in a special marinade of lime juice and jaggery, warm dark spices, ginger and garlic’. The rub they use carried a mild spiciness and refreshing tang. Well indeed these lamb chops, not only were they nicely seasoned, but they were also very well marinated. Visually it looked very well-rubbed with spices and seasoning with a beautiful sear that sealed up the juices. These lamb chops tasted as good as it looks. A beautiful sear, tender medium rare and juicy meat with a light grassy flavour – that makes me a super happy and satisfied bunny! Lamb chops are definitely my favourite type of meat.
Moving onto the mains, I ordered their Spicy Lamb Chops from the grill. They’re all winning sauces really, but my personal favourite is the coriander one because it’s so fragrant and refreshing with a hint of lime. All three were very tasty and refreshing. There were three different sauces – mint chutney, tamarind, and coriander chutney. I played around with the complimentary condiments on the table as well. It was a pretty hearty dish and was actually quite filling itself. They were no doubt the impeccable combination with the vegetable curry for both your taste buds and stomach. It’s incredibly flavorful and quite refreshing at the same time with a touch of lime, coriander and onions. The buns were housemade and were so soft, spongy and buttery. The vegetables were perfectly mashed to a mushy texture. Words can’t describe how much I love this dish. In a nutshell, this is a bowl of mashed vegetables curry served with a hot buttery pau bun – in Chowpatty Beach style (Bombay street food style). It was simply so satisfyingly warming and delicious. There was the right amount of sweetness as well. It was very smooth and silky to sip, with a full-bodied texture and flavour on top of the spices. It was the perfect companion to this gloomy day. The spices were pretty strong and it instantly warmed my whole body up.
House Chai (£3.2)įirst thing first, I ordered House Chai. The setting of Dishoom Shoreditch is more or less the similar to the branch at Carnaby but this branch feels a bit more spacious (or maybe it’s just because I didn’t get into the main dining hall area). It’s so busy that they have opened up their waiting/drinks area into the dining area, and that’s where I got seated by one of the window sills. I was seated inside the main restaurant area. The restaurant was busier than I expected as I arrived on for a late weekday lunch.
#Dishoom shoreditch london plus
Plus its unique vintage setting and mellow essential aroma, it’s as if you got transported to a different realm observing the world from a different side. Dishoom Shoreditch’s special lounging area, where you can observe people enjoying their meal in this lounge area. You walk through this little tunnel built with an open wooden ceiling with vines intertwining and decorated with warm-coloured lights. I have already written a post about Dishoom a few months back ( check out previous post) but this time is another experience at another branch. On a typical grey rainy day in London, I find myself sitting at a window seat at the Dishoom Shoreditch, sipping its House Chai, and silently observing the raindrops falling on the glass window.
