Picker Packer

We are proud to be recognised as one of the best places to work in Hospitality. Looking after people is at the core of what we do and we work hard to make life at Dishoom the best it can be. Since 2010, our restaurants have celebrated the Irani cafes and all of the food and drink of Bombay. We have locations across London, Edinburgh, Manchester, Birmingham and our Bar-Cafes in Brighton, Cambridge, Oxford and Portobello. Plus, a range of kitchens to ensure our guests can enjoy our food at home!

As well as running busy sites with big teams, we also understand the importance of doing more. From planting trees with our teams in the UK & India, tying Rakhis with our guests, to our dedication to helping to feed children through Meal for a Meal. Since January 2024, we have donated 20 million meals and counting, and as a Dishoomwalle you contribute 55 meals per shift!

How we’ll support you

At Dishoom, we genuinely care about supporting you and your well-being (inside and outside of work).

With this, we tend to think about well-being in four different ways:
