Welcome to Dishoom Covent Garden

Working at Dishoom Covent Garden

Dishoom is a love letter to Bombay – its food and its culture, its many varied people, its rich history and its endless eccentricities. Dishoom cafés are open all day, every day, serving Bombay comfort food and first-class drinks, from breakfast ’til late and all are welcome. Dishoom Covent Garden is right in the heart of the West End, and inside it carries the thrill and excitement of Bombay’s Talkies era. It’s one of our busiest cafés, lively, warm and full of brilliant people who genuinely care about creating a great experience for guests and for each other. If you enjoy fast-paced service, good humour, and a team that truly looks after one another, you’ll feel right at home here.
