The reviewer loved Dishoom's cookbook for its vivid descriptions of Bombay and its recipes, despite not having tried them yet. They appreciated the book's homage to colonial India and its love for the city, and found the essays exciting and immersive.

The reviewer is a big fan of Dishoom, a restaurant in London, and was excited to receive their cookbook as a Christmas gift. They haven't tried the recipes yet, but they love the book for its vivid descriptions of Bombay and its essays that reveal the authors' love for the city. The reviewer appreciates the book's homage to colonial India and its love for the city, and found the essays exciting and immersive. They also appreciated the reading list at the back of the book, which includes some of their favorite books about India. The reviewer's only complaint is that they want more, and they're looking forward to trying the recipes and visiting Bombay in person.

Quick quotes

    The book will still have been a wonderful addition to my library.

    There are times when people have critcised Dishoom for giving too much homage to colonial India, the British Raj.

    Not many writers manage to excite my imagination in this way.

Quick quotes

    As is custom in Bombay, the name of the road has changed several times in the hundred-odd years that this post has lingered here. Today the road bears the official post-colonial title of Netaji Subash Chandra Bose Road, though everyone knows it as Marine Drive. Such is the way with place names in Bombay. The names on your map, imposed by officialdom, have only sporadic correspondence with the names used by actual people. The worn grooves of usage take time to wear anew. VT (Victoria Terminus) will still be VT for decades to come, no doubt.

    Chicken tikka masala is supposedly Britain’s favourite dish. If it is yours, then you may be disappointed: this dish is not it.

    Walk down the busy (and actually quite pleasant) Colaba Causeway towards Leopold’s, an Irani café of sorts, owned by the entrepreneurs Fahrang and Farzadh Jehani. This is the Colaba of the backpacker, the hippie, the Arab and African tourists, and they say, of the drug dealers and smugglers. It is all cheerfully fictionalised in the Bombay backpackers’ favourite novel, Shantaram, a yarn of the author’s own amazing derring-do in the city.
