Dishoom King's Cross brings the warmth and bustle of a Bombay café to a beautifully converted Victorian stable building near Granary Square, serving up fragrant curries, buttery naan and the famous bacon naan roll from breakfast onwards. There's often a queue, but the staff are genuinely lovely about it — they'll bring chai out to families waiting in line, which makes the whole thing feel far less of a chore with little ones in tow. Once inside, it's a proper family-friendly experience with highchairs, baby changing, buggy access throughout, a kids' menu, and outdoor seating for when the weather plays ball; vegan options are well catered for on the menu too.
