The morning after our meal at Kitchen Table, we walk out of our hotel in St Martins Lane and straight into Dishoom. I had thought it'd be a hard sell for Mrs Bacon and our two pals but they are just happy for me to take the lead. Mrs B is initially doubtful; are we really having curry for breakfast?
No we're not. Dishoom is another perfect example of a small London chain like Wahaca where things are done properly and with care. And they do a fine breakfast.
It's a brasserie in the style of old colonial Bombay cafés. We happily bag a booth and have a look at the menu. No need for me, I already know I'm having the famous bacon and egg naan. I have to say everything else at Dishoom is bang on too. Perhaps if you're being picky, you may get slightly irritated at being asked if everything is ok as we are, three times. This really doesn't bother me, better that than poor, rude or slow service. The orange juice is proper; freshly squeezed and even the coffee is pretty good (usually a rarity, even in good restaurants). 


I have nothing but good things to say about Dishoom. It's as good as everyone says and it won't break the bank. There's simply no need to go to awful chains like Garfunkel's when there are places like Dishoom about. And I'm still dreaming about that bacon and egg naan.
