Dishoom confirms details of first Glasgow restaurant ahead of opening
Now it will launch in a Grade A listed building on Nelson Mandela Place.
Dishoom focuses on its own history or culture from Bombay in its restaurants and its Glasgow look is centred around a fictional narrative about Miss X, a former covert agent from Bombay who now runs a bustling Irani café at the bottom of the Glasgow stock exchange.
The restaurant will be open from morning to night with a menu that includes much-loved dishes including Bacon Naan Rolls and House Black Daal.

It will also bring its Meal for a Meal initiative where a meal is donated to a child who might go without through partnerships in the UK with Magic Breakfast and The Akshaya Patra Foundation in India.
Chef Arun Tilak, Dishoom's Executive Chef and part of the team since 2012 where he began his journey as Head Chef at Dishoom Covent Garden, said: 'Bringing Dishoom to Glasgow has long been a dream of ours.
"The team has worked hard to create a space and a menu that feels authentic to Bombay while celebrating the character of Glasgow and the heritage of its South Asian community. We cannot wait to welcome our first guests through the door for shared stories and leisurely feasts.
'Every Dishoom tells a Bombay story which comes to life when people sit, eat and share together. That sense of warmth and welcome is at the heart of what we do, and we're so looking forward to seeing it in Glasgow. We invite people to make this café their own – whether they're grabbing breakfast before work or settling in for a big evening feast with friends and family.'
