Dishoom Edinburgh

Dishoom Edinburgh has an allergen-filterable online menu that can be accessed through a QR code and marks gluten-free items. Multiple community reviewers report that staff are knowledgeable about coeliac needs. However, no dedicated fryer is confirmed; several reviewers explicitly note the absence of a dedicated fryer. No dedicated kitchen exists, and the shared kitchen makes cross-contamination a real risk. The online allergen filter is described as very conservative, leaving very few gluten-free options. Those options mainly include chicken tikka, some curries, and mocktails. One reviewer noted that 'none of their spices are safe for coeliac.' The venue is not a dedicated gluten-free facility and should be approached with caution by coeliac diners.

Dishoom Edinburgh is explicitly listed as vegetarian-friendly on its official site and other listings. The menu offers a substantial range of vegetarian dishes, including Mattar Paneer, House Black Daal, Jackfruit Biryani, Chole, and numerous sides and salads. Vegetarian items are clearly marked with a V on the menu. The kitchen is shared with meat dishes.

Dishoom Edinburgh is listed as 'vegan-friendly' on HappyCow and the official site, and a dedicated 'Vegan Edinburgh' menu is listed on dishoom.com. The 1948 Sour cocktail is explicitly described as using 'eggless (aquafaba) foam' with the note 'Vegans: enjoy.' Several dishes are marked Ve (vegan) on the menu (e.g. Carrot & Chilli Pickle, Steamed Basmati Rice). However, the kitchen is shared and serves meat; no vegan accreditation is held.

Dishoom Edinburgh’s official website lists “Halal-friendly” as a dining option. A third-party menu indicates that chicken and lamb are halal, while beef is not, and alcohol is served on site. No formal certification from a recognised accreditation body has been shown. The claim is self-described; diners should confirm directly.

Multiple FindMeGlutenFree reviewers describe the venue as "good for dairy-free." A HappyCow review mentions vegan options, which implies some dairy-free choices exist. The official menu marks certain dishes "Ve," a label that would imply dairy-free. No dedicated dairy-free menu or marking convention is evident. A shared kitchen is in use.

The menu includes fish and seafood dishes such as Prawn Moilee and Goan Monkfish Curry, alongside extensive vegetarian options. No specific pescatarian marking is shown, though the variety of fish, seafood, and vegetarian dishes makes this venue suitable for pescatarians on a practical basis. Diners should verify specific dishes.
