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 cafés and all of the food and drink of Bombay. We have Dishoom cafés across London, Edinburgh, Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow.

Our Permit Rooms can be found in Brighton, Cambridge and Oxford, with our newest Bar‑Café opened in Portobello this Spring! Plus, we have kitchens across London 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, with each Dishoom‑wal contributing to 55 meals per shift!

How we’ll support you at Dishoom:
We care about supporting you and your well‑being (inside and outside of work). With this, we tend to think about our team’s well‑being in four different ways:

• Financial – free weekly wage advances and emergency cash, access to our savings support & financial health planning tool, 100 monthly to spend when dining in Dishoom each month (post this 100, 50% during the day, and 25% in the evening for you and up to 5 people), access to our healthcare cash plan, enhanced family leave and pay, plus specific Dishoom‑wal benefits for those growing little families.
• Mental & Physical – all Babus (Managers) are fully trained in mental‑health support & First Aid, dedicated support from our confidential advice helpline – available to you or someone in your household 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, on‑demand GP appointments, free counselling sessions and life coaching through our wellness app, free fitness sessions every month (including yoga and spin classes).
• Professional – All Babus (Managers) are fully trained in mental‑health support & First Aid, etc.
• Social – We host regular team events across our cafés. Team members who work at Dishoom for 5 years are invited to attend Bombay Bootcamp – an incredible once‑in‑a‑lifetime guided tour of Bombay with our co‑founders (over 200 people attended last year!).

Calling all cricket fans, we have our very own Dishoom Premier League (an in‑house cricket tournament) where you get to compete with your team at Lord’s.

• Family Mela (Family summer festival)
• Huge Christmas celebration

• Free team meals every shift, plus all the chai you can drink!
• £39,500–£42,000 per year inclusive of tronc. We pay on a monthly basis.
• A full‑time role working across 5 days, Monday‑Sunday availability required.
• A weekly changing rota provided at least 6 days in advance.
• We’re an all‑day dining café, meaning our teams work a variety of daytime and evening shifts (not the usual always‑late nights!).
• Access to our award‑winning training programmes and support. We focus on your development from day one and proudly promoted 211 Dishoom‑walles last year!
• The usual number of days holiday a year – paid for at your usual rate. Our sites are closed Christmas Day and Boxing Day, and if you have children, we’ll provide one extra day to take them to their first day at school.
• No uniforms here – smart/casual and comfortable is key, and of course trainers are fine.

In Dishoom, we see every team member as valuable and important to ensuring the all‑around brilliant experience for our guests. Like any restaurant operation, our Babus (Managers) are imperative to the success of our business. Permit Rooms can get busy; circa 3,000 covers per site per week, with demanding shifts & first‑class service execution. There is the support of multiple other Babus, plus 20‑30 Dishoom‑walles, all fully focused in their roles to support one another.

You are empowered to do the right thing when no one is looking. We never want to deter from our service standards, and aim to pursue unreasonable hospitality to our guests every day through seva.
