Job description

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 the food and drink of Bombay. We have Dishoom Cafes across London, Edinburgh, Manchester, and Birmingham. Our Permit Rooms are in Brighton, Cambridge, and Oxford, with our newest Bar-Cafe opening in Portobello later this Spring! Plus, we have kitchens across London to ensure our guests can enjoy our food at home.

As well as managing busy sites with large teams, we are committed to doing more. From planting trees with our teams in the UK & India, tying Rakhis with our guests, to helping feed children through Meal for a Meal. Since January 2024, we have donated 20 million meals and counting, with each Dishoomwalle contributing to 55 meals per shift!
