I think I
mentioned before pop up restaurants were on trend in these days. Well one of
them is Dishoom Chowpatty Beach Bar. I have wanted to go to Dishoom, and the
other day with a colleague while walking in Southbank I mentioned to give it a
try to the Indian fast food beach style concept.
The Place
The Long Bar
Lamps
The place was
originally to be opened until October 4th. However, the bartender
mentioned they might close in October redecorate and open again as it has been
a great success. In effect this mental restaurateurs put sand and a hut in the
middle of the Southbank centre, who would thought in a rainy city like London
with usually a very short summer this idea will work, apparently it did.
Beach Style
The menu is
simple, Naan rolls, snacks, meals, and some sweets. And in the blue corner there is
quite a good selection of drinks, including Gola Ice (Bombay’s favourite Ice
Treat in two versions virgin or naughty).
Bollywood Style
I ordered the
Dishoom Frankie (spicy lamb minced in a naan roll), Dishoom Calamari (fried
with lime and chilli, and Chicken Ruby (home style curry). To kill the thirst a
Thumbs Up which is Bombay’s best cola. The Frankie was ok, nice flavour, but
nothing mind blowing. The chicken curry on the other side was great, really
nice and tasty, and the calamari was superb, I could eat only that the whole
day.

So if you’re in
a pop up state of mind don’t miss this Indian and try the calamari before they
close in October as they might change the menu.
Lunch Time
India reminds me
the Seinfeld episode “The Betrayal”.

Elaine: You are?

Mischke: Well, of course. No one else was even willing to come to India. I
mean, not even Pinter's parents and they're Indian.
